tions Sung in Many Lands.
Fanny j. Crosby, the blind poetess,
whose hymns are known and sung the
world over, celebrated the S5th anniver-
sary of her birth at her home in Bridge
port, Conn.,, Sunday. Many of her CO.
laborers in religious work who have adj
mired and loved her for her beautiful
traits of characted for upwards of half
a century gathered at her residence to
fttingly observe the occasion, while
scores of churches throughout the coun-
try set aside the day as Fanny Crosby
day.
During the past Al years Miss Crosby
has composed more than 5000 hymns.
Many of these have been translated into
foreign tongues and there is scarcely a
church edifice in any part of the world
whose walls have not echoed her sacred
productions. She is still hale and hearty,

The business man is constantly go
ing through his factory or store look
ing for places where there is a leak
or where he can utilize space or mate
rial to better advantage than before.
1t seems almost impossible to induce
farmers to work along similar lines,
yet there are hundreds of farms
through the country that need just
this attention. We are all familiar
with the man who will scatter his OPP
erations over many acres far from
his home and barns when right close
by there may be a few acres which
would yield him enormous returns If
properly prepared.
The low spots which might be made
exceedingly fertile are most often
neglected. Frequently a few burrows
struck just right will provide all the
drainage necessary to make a place
for celery which would bring in large
returns. Instead of retaining this
valuable strip of ground the average
farmer with many acres either pays
no attention TO it or turns the swine
on it to wallow. Possibly such a strip
of ground has remained uncultivated
for years, and is practically virgin
soil, needing only a little time and ex-
pense to make it very valuable.

dice against book farming is dying out.

the udder to the heart should be

felary of War William H. Taft as its
chairman will reverberate beyond
State lines and its echo will arise in
e"ery State Of the union prociaiming
the opening of the campaign for the
next Republican nomination for Pres
ident OF the United States. This is
;he central idea of the selection by
;te Ohio Republican State Central
Committee Of Taft as the key note
:cunder. The forces led by Senator
Dick and Governor Herrlck, the old
!Ianna organization, are to get behind
Taft as Ohio's candidate for the 1908
Presidential nomination.
They have started carly because OF
the fact that Senator Foraker expects
to ask Ohio to stand sponsor for him
in the next national contention. The
old Hanna crowd does not propose tc
allow Foraker TO get his wedge in II
they can help it, and hence the
launching of the Taft boom at the
earliest opportunity.
TAFT is expected to give weight,
talk OH heavy national questions.
Doubtless the political leaders OF al
States and those at Washington vii
lave an ear 10 the ground, while th'
convention is in session.
