fields of rape, millet and corn where

~>,-s - Land Values Doubled,
A brief statement of land values in
this county shows the remarkable
increase in the prices of land over
those which prevailed few years ago.
About 125,O0O acres have changed
hands during the present yeal and it
can be further stated that the prices
of lands in the county have doubled
in the last three years. Fully seventy
five per cent, if not more, Of the land
sold to non-residentS in the last three
years is to buyers who will either cul-
vate the land themselves or soon have
the acres farmed by others, resulting
in a rapid increase of resident farm
population, and a constant addition
to the wealth and taxable property of
the county.
Excellent Financial Condition
From financial stand point the
county is in excellent shape, having
a fine court house, and new sheriff. S

Flour Milling Interests.
Among the most important indus

finest quality of hard wheat by large

waters of beautiful southern stream
and recollections of an historical city
famed in the early annals of the
nation. This christening occurred in
1872, amid the activities Of railroad
grading on the main line OF the N. P.
and the arrival Of troops into a camp,
which soon afterward became an
established government fort-Old

CHEERFULN ESS.

Every poison has its antidote, and
the one that never fails to give reliel
in emotional poisoning, is laughter.
Laughter or rather that pleasurable
tone of feeli ng which is an expression
OF it, is not only an antidote for de
pressing emotions, but it is most
effective preventative of these emo.
tional displays, and is also far better
tonic to the entire body than any
pharmacist can compound.
The art of being cheerful is one
that anyone can cultivate and develop
to most effective degree. 1t is easy
enough to smile when everything looks
bright and the world smiles with you,
and it is very difficult to be cheerful
when undergoing your most severe
ordeals. Do not expect too much from
your efforts, at first. Begin with
being cheerful under the more trifiing
annoyances. Control yourself il the
lesser veXations and you viii gradually
become master of yourself in the most
severe ordeals.

WOMAN IN THE HOME.

In the home woman occupies a
position of unlimited power and in.
fiuence, if she but knew it. Nowhere
else can she exert such an influence
upon the life of the nation and the
world at large. The moment she
leaves the home in search of power she
leaves the sphere where her greatest
power resides. One of the saddest
and the most menacing signs of the
times, to our minds, is the neglect of
the home of life, the ease with which
divorces are granted. the way in which
children are allowed to grow up on
the streets, to be out at all hours of
the night to seek pleasure away frou,
the home.
To-Day there is tendency for
woman to look upon the cares of
domestic life as irksome There is a
growing desire to appear in public
lite. The quiet home life is too un-
eventful, too humdrum. Children
are nuisance because they tie the
mother down.
Any movement which tends to
weaken the family tie, to break up
the home life is dangerous in the ex-
treme. In the home, and at the
mother $ knee, love for home, love for
country, love for righteousness and
truth must be instilled. In the home
at the mother knee, the men who
have been the worlds greatest leaders
have been trained. In the home at
the mother s knee, good men, strong
men, righteous men, patriotic m en-,
the men upon whom the destinies of
the human race depend, in whom lie
the strength and enthusian of a ma
tion's life, in the home these men are
reared and nowhere else. To meet the
crisis which may arise at any time in
the life of country like our own, we
must always have a vast reserve of
loyal patriotism, good citizenship,
sound morality and honest statesman
ship, ready at hand to summon at a
moments notice. All this we must
have to preserve the ntiou' life. And
all this depends almost entirely upon
woman's influence in the home. 1t
is woman who saves and preserves the
nation 8 life. 1t always must be so
in the future as in the past. not by
voting, merely, but by patient devo-
ton to her duty in the home and
family, by bringing up her children
to be trusted, relied upon to DO the
right thing under any circumstances,
