grain, hay, milk, butter, cheese, fruits and other produce. Think of
the prices for eggs and poultry! Then they have the advantage over
their western brethren in not having the long haul and heavy freight
rates.
The farmers of the west were NEVER in such easy circum-
stances. Their crops have been good, and the demand from abroad
has been such as to keep the prices at a comfortable figure. This is
true of everything the farmer raises to sell-hogs, cattle, wool, etc.
On the Pacific coast the story is the same. There the trade is
opening with the orient, and there the farmers have the advantage
OF a soil which will raise almost everything, including fruits which
outscl the tropical fruits and which can be sent across the country
and shipped to Europe at a profit. THEY ARE DOING SPLEN-
Oddly.
In the south the farmer who raises even a small crop of cotton
has provided for himself. Tobacco wa never in greater demand.
The south is rapidly becoming AS PROSPEROUS AS THOSE
OTHER SECTIONS of the country which escaped the devastations
of civil war.

Slang.

Slang words which belong to the two
last named classes are in the attitude Of
postulants Many words such as mob"
"dctum'. ignore, alert, which
when they first began to be nsed were
regarded as slang words, or at least as
novelties have been admitted TO full
membership in the order OF words
None of us would now call fabulous
in the sense of incredible, a modern
slang phrase. but De Quincy so stigma
tized it. Coleridge violently denounces
talented ; and at the beginning OF the
nineteenth century Lady Holland de-
clared influential to be detestable
word. Many slang words are still
awaiting recognition and admission.
Multitudes of them have died, though
for while they had a vigorous life.
No one can tell whether any given slang
word will survive, for there is no test
but that of time for these words. If
the word supplies lack it is very likely
to receive the approval of the users of
the language and thereby become good
English
Though language is always economi-
cal and refuses to load itself down with
affectations or with unnecessary words
slang represents need and fills want.
Therefore, we should not be concerned
lest the vast multitude of slang words
current now corrupt our mother tongue.
Such words as are vulgarisms will die
of their own weakness; but such words
as answer the demands of utility will be
retained Dude and crank are
valuable words and are serviceable be-
cause each denotes something not signi-
fed by any other English word. The
dude" of 1904 is so different from the
dandy of 1910 and the word is so e1-
pressive Of one aspect of the genius OF
our age that it ought to be saved, but
probably it will have to go. " Crank"
metaphor from cranky an unstable
craft, will form valuable acquisition
and save many tedious crcumlocu.
ton Combine though still showing
traces of the bar sinister of slang on its
escutcheon, IL perhaps a useful word
because it has connotations which the
more dignified combination" does not
possess The 'enthuse no matter how
much we may despise it because of its
unpleasing sound or its long association
with slang phrases, also seems likely to
survive because it expresses more con-
cisely than in any other way an idea
which has come to play an important
part in our modern life.-The Pilgrim
