The question of car shortage is be

among members of the commission, is
that the question presents several seri-

The Man With the
Saggy Left Lapel
By Old Dr.. Goose

Ha-whom have we here9
The man with the Saggy Left Lapel.
My friends. here is one of the Achieve
ments of which I am Justly Proud
This suit as you may Imagine
Was when given to me one of the worst
or best Examples of the Tailor's Botch-
ing you could Imagine.
In the first place-it had not been cut
properly.
In some places the Cloth was Scant
In others too much Cloth had been
allowed.
When being made up these Cutting
Mistakes had been Exaggerated.
And when the Suit came to me
Oh Dear! Oh Dear!
It was the worst Looking Thing 7 ever
saw.
Well I went to Work
I Shrunk the Cloth here-and I
Stretched it There.
I Pressed and I Sizzled
Until

I was as proud of that Job as

That's him now
And that IS the Suit "doped" up to
Only now the ":dope," is all gone
And the Old Suit looks like it did
See how Saggy the Left Lapel is
Look at the twist in the Collar-and
the slope and lumpiness of the Shout
ders-
See the wavy Curves and Wrinkles
around the Arms and down the Front.
Look at the Twists in the Sleeves
Say, on the Level-isn't it a Fright
Of course that Suit might have been
made right.
For very few Clothes are made right
only it Costs like fury-that's why
I'm in such demand
For my "dope" is Cheap
But among the Clothes that are made
right
Are "Sincerity Clothes''
I dom have "look in'' on Sincerity

And actually sew the Shape into a Suit
They needle mould it-and the
Shape simply can't leave the Suit.
The Style and Fit remain in Sincerity
Sult until you re anxious to look at a
different kind Of cloth.
1t takes the Sincerity Clothiers ten
times as long to sew the shape into the
Fabric of the suit as it takes me to
dope - the Shape in temporarily.
And what s the difference anyway-the
Customer can't tell when he 's~buying-
That is, unless he knows the test for

solution depends the veal or woe 81
the nations in years to come.
Could you have accompanied me dur
| ing the last 10 days as l visited the
agricultural colleges of the great states
of Kansas, Iowa and Illinois, any expo
sition of the merits of the agricultural
college would be superfluous at this
time
Could you have seen the hundreds
aye. thousands. of earnest, intelligent
young men who are preparing them
selves for the burdens and responsible
tiles which the coming generation VIII
be called upon TO assume. you would
be amazed at the wonderful change of
thought which the American farmer is
experiencing with regard to scientific
agriculture.
Could you nave entered the class
rooms and there noted the extreme
practicability of the knowledge which
the professors there are importing, you
would have felt impelled to invoke Il
divine blessing upon the efforts of these
men who are iaborinS so efficiently for
the upbuilding of the great industry
which forms the foundation of our
cOuntry's prosperity.
We are living in a scientific age, an
age in which the light of knowledge is
rapidly dispelling the darkness of ig-
norance and superstition.
FaIlacy IL Exploded.
Not only are these changes obtain
ing in the So-cdiled arts and professions,
but they are being distinctly felt among
the rural population of our country, and
this is as it should be. The old fallacy
that farmer has no need of an adj
vance education has been exploded.
Intelligent men who own land either in
large or small quantities are rapidly
coming to see that knowledge of the
science of agriculture is of great prac-
teal value to them. The proper rota-
ton of crops, the treatment of soils, the
breeding of animals. the care and dis
position of the products of the farm de
mand the most thorough scientific
knowledge in order that the whole
wealth of the farm may be realized
The scientific farmer is no longer
ridiculed. He is observed. sometimes
envied, often initiated Where there
was one boy attending the agricultural
college five years ago. today there are
ten. Let us, then, consider some of the
causes which are bringing about these
wonderful changes.
We find that up to comparatively re-
cent times land in the United States
has been so plentiful that the easiest
and most profitable thing to do when
Yields declined was 10 change to new
fields and abandon the old to weeds.
There was little incentive to careful
cultivation and scarcely any motive for
seeking new knowledge for the i'm
pToVement of agricultural practice.

beginning that agriculture and its al

The judicious use of light wine
throughout the United States will rid
the country of intemperance. according
to Frederic T. Bioletti, professor OF
vitricuIture at the University of Cali
fOrnia, who read a paper on that topic
Much discussion followed in which
scripture was quoted and slurs found
their way into the atmosphere. In the
midst of the discussion a motion TO adj
journ was made and promptly voted
down by a good majority. Soon quiet
reigned supreme. and it was finally de
cided each man was entitled TO his own
opinion on temperance, and if any dis

relieved him of any embarrassment.

The salient parts of Professor Bio

The production of wine grapes

Ralph H. Searle of Edgar, Neb..
spoke on THE Agricultural College,"
and urged scientific education for
farmers. He took up a number of the
fallacies regarding these institutions.
and proved his assertions by percent

1t was not until Uncle Sans free

the masses began to see the need of

response to this need stands the agri-

of our great system of agricultural edu.

Not Balm for All Ills.
We are not here to advocate the agri-
cultural college as a balm for all ills.
You cannot draw blood from turnips, nor
can You make diamonds from sand

that an agricultural college cannot do.

the United States is only i'll its infancy,
comparatively speaking. The act of
congress which gave it existence was
signed by Abraham Lincoln. and after
that years were required before it could
be put on a working basis, and still
more years passed before the American
farmer began to realize its value.
The American farmer is sensible, yet
extremely conservative He is willing
to give honor to whom honor is DUE"
but he has to 'be shown" Therefore,
it was necessary for the agricultural
college TO fully demonstrate it's prac-

the support of those for whose benefit
it was founded.
