business to be transacted ere peace can
finally hold the stage. The call, he says,
is for a new chivalry; our duty is not
only to keep the peace, but to make a
peace that is worth keeping. The new
generation must be shown what oppor-
tunities the worlds business and poll
tics afford to great-hearted gentlemen
who are willing TO risk something for
q cause. The kind of peace which the
world needs can not be had for the ask
ing. 1t comes high-but it is worth the
price.
The farmers Of the province Of Aisne,
in southern France, are threshing their
grain, grinding their flour, cutting roots
and pumping water by electricity. The
owners of large farms have their own
motors. The smaller proprietors club
together to buy motor, which is NOV
ed from farm to farm, as each farmer
needs it.
Sampson had just slaughtered few
hundred thousand Philistines with the
JaWDOne or an ass.
There" he said, as he wiped his
brow, Il guess that will stand as the
record till Tom Lawson gets after
Wall street"
So saying, he settled down and wait
ed for the call Of Next"
Recently a bank check for $35,695.35
was issued to a Walla Walla, Wash
ington, farmer in payment for $4,000
bushels of wheat. Commenting upon
this a Chicago paper declares it can
count on its fingers the number of men
in Chicago who receive such sum of
money for legitimate labor in one year.
Still, many boys want to quit the farm
and go to the city. And 1t is to be re-
membered that every farmer does not
sell $35,695.35 worth of wheat.
One of the Chicago mail order houses
is this year running advertisements in
every daily paper in the state Of Iowa
and in many weeklies also. That is
how they get the business. - Cedar
Rapids Republican.
The Republican Is in error SO far as
the T.-R. is concerned. It has not run
advertisements for Chicago catalog
houses, but has turned down a number
Of offers to purchase space in its col
umns. The Republican Is not in err
or, however, when it says that is how
they get the business" It is an axiom
that judicious advertising gets the
business.
Now that Joe Trigg, farm philoso-
pher and country editor, has moved
into the city, he does not like the bar
baris method Of piling food on fam
lily table and telling everybody to help
themselves" and is counseling carv-
ing knives, plates piled up before the
old man and a sort Of stylish distribu-
ton of the food supply. He doesn't go
SO far as full dress for the hired men,
but proposes that unless the hirelings
eat with more grace and gentility to
give them grub on the rain barrel un-
der the porch" Trigg's case is the old
story of city communications and good
country manners. To hear him talk
one would not imagine that he had
plowed corn barefooted, raced from the
threshing machine to get the first
whack at the wash-dish and have a
seat at the first table, to grab raven
ously among the "barbaric piles" Of
fried chicken and mashed potatoes,
with his sleeves rolled above his ell
bows. Time was when he could dip
into the gravy or spear potato with
his fork as we'll as the best Of them.
Now, no barbartc piles for Joseph.
Nothing but side dishes, silver butter
knives and a round bowled spoon for
soup. Next thing we know he will
be Opening wine" instead of going
down cellar for cider in brown pitch
er. But it is pity; an awful pity.
