world. which admires and encourages
and patronizes the development OF eV"
erything that tends to distinguish tnf'
individual from mere mass or class.
Another form of advertising the
farm and one which is most valuable,
too. IS that of the exhibition OF pro-
ducts for examination, comparison and
award in state, district, county or To-
cal fairs and expeditions. These are
not patronized as they should be in
Oklahoma, possibly because of the un-
due ,aXaggerntion of the Importance of
the sporting features on such occa-
sions, but such exhibitions certainly
deserve to be fostered and encouraged
because of their value in advertising
the farm and its products, as well as
for the general enlightenment and
spirit of emulation which they beget.
The farmer who advertises his farm
by the use of printed stationery pat
ronizes the home printing shop for
that as well as paying the subscription
price of the home paper. The newspa-
per man who can see something more
i'm sight than a prospective postoffice
appointment. and who feels that there
Is something else In the world worth
striving for besides the county print
ing has, indeed a magnificent oppor-
tunity for usefulness, for the spirit of
helpfulness surely strengthens the
hand of him who seeks to help his fell
low man. In other words, the rural
press is -disregarding its own best in
terests when it fails or refuses to make
any effort TO infuse a spirit Of enter
prise into the one class from which It's
principal support is derived.
The farm needs to be advertised.
The farmer should see to it that 1t is
advertised by its beauty its products
iveress and by his spirit of enterprise
and progress manifested in many
ways. 1t is safe to say that such a
farm will never be advertised by the
sheriff. The merchant, banker and
the newspaper man can each do
great deal In this connection and with
profit to themselves. Many of the rail-
road companies have already recog-
niZad their interest in this line of CO.
operative effort.
The day OF isolation ( not to say
desolation) in farm life will soon be
past The dawning af better and
brighter day Is at hand, when in telli-
gence and culture and the conven-
fences of life will be known on the
farm, and the successful farmer will
be the one who not only understands
his business, but also how to adver-
tise it.

Cuban pjarrhoea.

United States soldiers who served in
Cuba during the Spanish war know
what this disease is, and that the ordi-
nary remedies have little more effect
than so much water. Cuban diarrhoea
is almost as severe and dangerous as
mild attack Of cholera. There is one
remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs Minnie
Jacobs, of Houston, Texas: Il hereby
certify that Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my
husband of a severe attack of Cuban
diarrhoea, which he brought home from
Cuba. We had several doctors but
they did him no good. One bottle of
this remedy cured him. as our neigh
bors will testify. thank God for SO
valuable a medicine" For sale by

Advertising the Farm.

homa Board Of Agriculture.
1t seldom occurs to the farmer that
advertising might pay in the conduct
of his business affairs, just as it does
in that of the merchant, the manufac-
turer or the financier, yet such is the
fact. To paraphrase an old saying thu
bushel should always be used as unit
of measurement on the farm and never
as means of obscuring what might
otherwise be shining light. Rarely,
indeed is there demand for any COM
modify concerning which there is no
knowledge. Neither the production
nor the existence can create demand
for any article until the knowledge Of
the fact has been noised abroad and
thus leads to desire
The successful advertising of farm
may be accomplished in many ways.
,rhoroughness and neatness in the way
the farm Is managed Is perhaps of
prime consideration in this connection
for these not only attract favorable
attention and comment, but also lead
to satisfactory results in yields OF
crops and success with live stock: and
these, in turn, create respect and give
prestige that are of value in an adyer-
Using way.
In order to insure effective work in
the line of advertising there must be
a reasonably strong distinctiveness or
individuality as a basis. That is Why
every farm should have a name.
Whether 1T is named for it's owner or
his special line because of it's situa-
-. ct, Iii no ut oric in
its landscape, or IL the name be merely
in the fanciful creation of the owners
mind, it is, nevertheless, sign Of dis
tinction that gives to it an identity
which the legal description by sec
tom and quarter, by township and
range, cannot give. Such farm names
are common in some of the older east
ern states, and it is pleasant to note
the fact that they are becoming more
noticeable in Oklahoma. For instance
among those which occur in the COR
respondence of this office might be
mentioned the following: Oak Lawn
fruit and stock farm, Highland fruit
farm, Riverview farms, Spring Valley
fruit farm, Sunny Side farm, Orchard
Hill farm, Eureka fruit farm, Elm
Grove stock farm, Greenwood farm.
Locust Grove stock farm, Ridge View
farm. Willowdale farm, Grassland
dairy farm, and numerous others. Each
of these has it's printed stationery-let-
terheads and envelopes-generally CIV
ing distance and direction from the
nearest town, together with the num-
Der of the rural postal route on which
it is located, and not infreauently the

all of this is advertising the farm
each farm as separate and distinct
from every other farm, and giving to
the owner an added trait of Individual
ity that tends to still further distin
guish him from others who are just
faruers-aM but nameless to the great

ma MOST BEAUTIFUL CHARITY.

That the Christian HCme Orphanage
located at Council Bluffs has recently
finished and dedicated a new building
is worthy Of more than a mere notice.
The history of the Christian Home
dates back to 1881. It's founder, Rev. j.
q. Lemen, was then pastor of the First
Beptist church Of Council Bluffs. He
was called upon to preach the funeral
sermon of man who committed sui
eide because Of his slavery to drink,
and some months later collection
was taken in the church for the bene-
1T Of the family. The widow inform
ea the pastor Of others who were in
as great distress as herself, and a
work Of charity developed In which
several churches participated. Later
on. an appeal was resolved from a
confessed drunkard, that his three
daughters might be t;lken and cared
for, their mother having just died.
The request was made with SO much
earnestness that it was not refused.
The suggestion Of newspaper re-
porter was adopted ana the orphanage
started in small way. In March,
1883, the Christian Home was formally
incorporated. Since that time the in
stitution has been increasing it's work
and steadily growing. From one little
cottage 1t has developed to its present
proportions. There are now eighteen
cottages and other buildings. besides
the fine new one, built at cost of $780,
900. The Home has cared for about
1000 children during its existence and
has placed. about 1000 in private
homes. It has at the present time EOS
inmates.
II there 10 one charity more beau
afu1 than another it Is that dealing
w.th the care and keeping Of the chill
dren to whom Christ opened the king

DAVE HENDERsoN's SICKNESS.

Iowa is anxiously interested In the
condition Of David B. Henderson, who
lies stricken with paralysis at his
home in Dubuque and all Iowa is no.
.ping against hope that he may sur
yive the stroke despite his enfeebled
state Of body.
Henderson and Iowa were long in
Interchangeable terms. One suggested
the other. In his fourteen years Of
service on the floor Of congress Hen
derson represented Iowa rather than
the Third district Of Iowa. His repute
was national. His was a stalwart
figure among stalwnrts and he ended
his congressional career f1ttingly as
speaker Of the house.
Between Dave Henderson and
Iowa there Is an even balance. The
state has owed him much and has al
ways paid it's debt. Tho from demo-
cratic county and in a district often
politically close Henderson was never
defeated and served continuously lon
ger than any other man has served or
is likely to serve Iowa in the lower
house. He held the officeof revenue col
lector for the Third Iowa district from
1865 until he resigned. He was assist
ant United States district attorney
afterwards and as indicated was in
congress from 1882 until he with
drew with a regrettable show of
pettishness. which In the light of SUBJ
sequent events may be attributed to
his failing physical powers.
But il Henderson was especially
marked by the affection and trust of
