"THE GRAVEYARD HILL"

Of all the articles that have appeared in The
Progressive Farmer this year, few have made a
stronger appeal to our readers than Rev. Hight
O. Moore's "The Graveyard HILL We did not
see great number of our June exchanges after
return from the West but we found Mr..
Moore's article reprinted in two of them with
merited words of praise. Said the Monroe Jour
nal:
''We seldom see sweeter noble article
than that the first page entitled Graveyard
HILL by Rev. Hight O. Moore It warns the
heart"
Charity and Children also reprinted the article
in full, Editor Johnson making the following
comment: owe call especial attention to
leading article this week, which we copy from
The Progressive Farmer. Many of our readers
have already it. perhaps, but it will bear re-
reading and those who do not take The Farmer
ought not to miss so dainty feast. The article
was written by Rev. Hight @. Moore, and we have
not read more exquisite Or graphic description
this year from anybody in this country, or in any
other. Let it's rich and tender lesson sweeten your
SOUL"
This is not the first time columns have been
enriched by contribution from Mr.. Moore, and
our readers will hear from him again. We hope
hereafter to have much larger number of origi-
nal stories and sketches for our Home Circle
page.

them take of the plantation while you are
awav, and then take vacation themselves when
of the Farmers State Convention soon to be held
in Raleigh, and bring your wife with you to that
meeting Nor should you forget the Farmers
Institutes or those long-promised visits to your
relatives. Don't let the summer pass without

We are glad that so many of our readers utilized
the list of Farmers Bulletins we printed last
winter by sending for those they needed. And we
especially gratifed to learn from Mrs. Grace's
letter page that some of our lady readers, as
well as their husbands, utilized this 'free farmers
library" Now that the leisure season on the farm
is at hand we are much inclined to print the list
again.

new system there will be no possibility of leak

special field agents and State agents will report
on speculative crops directly to the Secretary or
Acting Secretary of Agriculture. These reports
will remain sealed in the custody of these officers
until the day the official report is to be made
when the agents reports will be opened and the
official report complied under strict precautions
There never will be at any time in the possession
of the Bureau of Statistics, or in any one of the

and perseverance with which he has prosecuted

In Anticipation of Death.

My short and happy day is done;
The long and lonely night comes on,
And at my door the pale horse stands
To carry me to distant lands.
His whinnv shrill, his paving hoof,
Sound dreadful as gathering storm;
And I must leave this sheltering roof
And ioys of life so soft and warm.
Tender and warm the joys of life
Good friends, the faithful and the true;
Nv rosy children and my wife,
So sweet to kiss, so fair to view.
So sweet to kiss, so fair to view,
The night comes on, the lights burn blue;
And at my door the pale horse stands
To bear me forth to unknown lands

THIS 1ssUE-AND SOME PREVIOUS ISSUES.

IDENTITY NOT DISCLOSED
But There is no SeCreting the Fact That $36O,OOO is Missing Vic- tim in she National City Bank of New York.

New York, Sept. 28.-The details of a scheme whereby the National City Bank of this city was recently vic timized by q clever forger, came out today. The forger presented q bogus check bearing the name of q well known stock exchange firm and re- ceived in return securities valued at about $36O,OOO
 Pearl and company stock brokers at 27 William street. recently neGoti- ated one May loan for $500, 900 with this unnamed institution On We'd uesday a. check for the amount of the loan, plus $37.50 for one days interest,
 was presented at this bank by a stranger, who received the securities deposited by Pearl and company for their loan.
 The bank on which the brokers check was drawn is one with which Pearl and company never had an ac- count so the forgery was not discov- cred until the check had passed through the clearing house exchange,
 when 1t was promptly branded as fic- titious. A private detective was call ed in and transfer of the securities was at once stopped. The detectives intimate that they have a clue to the identity Of the forger who is believed to have had one or mere accomplices.
 It is believed that the Gorger had an intimate Knowledge of Pearl and com pany's affairs. A. Slayback, junior member of Pearl and company, said:
 'T have been asked not to disclose the name of the bank concerned. 1 can only say that it is rich and if the for gerry should involve any loss the bank will be amply able to stand it. 'Fhe Cdd amount of the forged 1 check added Mr. SlayDack, "repre- sents days interest at 4 1-2 per cent. As a matter of fact the loan is record ed on our books at 1-4 per cent Clearly somebody mast have knOwl- edge of the loan. Yet had it been one in our employ the interest would have been computed at 1-4 per cent
 The firm of Pearl and company con i sists of Dyer, Pearl and Slayback. Mir. Pearl is now in Europe. The mem bers of the firm own stock exchange seats and their operations on the board have at various times been very ! extensive.
 The securities offered by Pearl and company for their loan and surrendered by the bank for a piece of worthless paper includes 1000 shares of U. $. Steel company common, 1000 shares Rock Island common, LOGO shares Me tropolitau Street Railway, roo shares Missouri Pacific, 200 shares North American company. 4 American To- bacco snares, 6 per cent bonds and some bash debenture T. bonds.

SECOND POST SEASON CAME
ROY s. GOODRICH HOME
His Observations Concerning State
 hood Question.

Roy s. Goodrich returned home yes terday from a two months visit in the east, going as far as Boston and New York, and spending some time with relatives and friends in Nassachu- setts, where he spent much of his hoy hood His father, he says, is enjoying very good health and expects to return here shortly.
 MT. Goodrich, as most Arizona peO- pie know, is taking an active interest in the fight against joint statehood. While in the east he discussed the subject with many people, He found that most of them knew of the state hood controversy only incidentally and had paid but little attention to the merits of the arguments on either side. not feeling personally interested Many others had arrived at conclu- sions from an entirely one sided and erroneous statement of facts. What impressed him very much, was the fact that most men he discussed the matter with, after hearing Arizona's side of the story, agreed with him that her contention was only fair and just. They look al the two territories on the map and without inquiring for req sons, come involuntariIy to the con clusion that if they want statehood at
 
 than none and a natural compromise. When they hear the facts they very readily admit their force.
 This was very nicely illustrated in the changed attitude of the Spring field (Mass) Republican, after a con versation between MT. Goodrich and the able men on that journal and which was quoted from literally in these columns not long ago. MT. Good rich says he thinks every citizen could aid a great deal in the statehood fight by writing letters to their frien6s in the east and to the newspapers to which they may have access. In this rapidly developed that would be of great benefit to Arizona in her com ing days of doubt.
 On the way home, MT. Goodrich Vis- ited Oklahoma and conversed with many people, among them the leading men in their movement for statehood. He said that all with whom he had a chance to talk seemed to recognize the peculiar situation of Arizona They admit that her contention is reasona- ble but of course they do not want to do anything that will weaken their affiliations, organized to secure state hood for them. MT Goodrich says it did not appear that they wished Ari- zona any bad luck and his greatest fear is that Oklahoma will select her champions from among such men as Beveridge, who is set in his joint statehood ideas. rather than such men as Foraker, who are more literally in clined toward the western territories.

 It is reported that provincial cities are prepared to send a massed depu- tation to Budapest on Oct. ? in order to offset the proposed socialist demon stration of 5O.OO0 worllmen for uniVer- sal suffrage. Commanding officers of regiments in various locations of the country have refused leaves of ab- sence to subordinate officers until the situation becomes clearer. All sorts of rumors are ahOat, which have the eff feet of keeping popular sentiment afame; but the best informed per sons believe the efforts of the conser- vative element will shortly be felt and that a solution of the difficulty will be reached without a rupture of the dual realm.
