We ran across him the other day
unique exception To the average run
OF energetic western farmers-the man
who was contented with his @!"hty
acre farm. He did not deny having 4
hank eI'ng for the eighty lying next his
own. but after thinking the PROPOSE
tion all over and realizing that life at
best is short and that what of content
ment and enjoyment he and his fam
lily get out Of The remaining years they
must get as they go along he wisely
decided not to undergo the bondage in
cident tc the purchase of more land.
He concluded that by putting the same
amount OF work on the eighty that he
would on the quarter section he would
at the end of the year be nearly as well
of financially and besides be free from
the grinding burden of debt Wise
man. Many afflicted with the craze
for more land regardless Of cOnse
quences might profit by taking his
viewpoint, his decision being based on
the fundamental philosophy that "a
mans life consisteth not in the things
which he pOssesseth," but rather. that
happiness is found in sensible ad-
1ustment of self to environment. Not
more land. but more time to live" is
fhe motto that should be impressed on
the minds OF many men today.

Ii Is hOmely, prosy topic, yet with
out question in the present careless
method Of handling this most valuable
Of farm fertilizers Is to be found one
OF the greatest wastes ON the average
farm. Careful experiments prove that
about tive elghths of the plant food Ia
manure Is found in the liquid part
which Is usually entirely lost, while the
solids are so placed that rains wash
away much OF their value The fer
ment heating which takes place IN
the ordinary manure pile sets free
much OF the nitrogen, which escapes
In the air, So that when finally spread
on the land manure handled Ia this
manner possesses barely third of its
original fertility. The only way 10
avoid this waste Is to use an abun-
dance OF straw for bedding which will
absorb large portion OF The liquids.

Better not wait until you receive that

your income is larger to begin TO save

not the size of your salary that makes
ii possible for you TO save; it is the de
termination 10 do IT, An increase in
wages means an increase in expenses

Mr.. Roosevelt FIunkS.

President Roosevelt's vacillat-
ing course with reference to the
railroad rate bill is discouraging.
1t proves that he lacks staying
qualities. 1t also proves that he
either does not know what he
wants or does not know how to
get it. At the critical stage Of
this bill in the senate he compro-
missed with the senators repre-
senting the railroad interests and
agreed to the insertion in the
bill of the Allison amendment.
That amendment makes it about
as difficult for the Interstate
Commerce Commission to estab-
lish and maintain a just rate as
it is now. No wonder that the
Democratic Senators and other
real friends Of effective rate leg
islation felt that they were en-
ticed into the presidents support
only to be wantonly deserted at
the crucial moment. No wonder
that Senator Bailey said. LET
us hear no more about the man
Of iron: he is clay, and very com
mon clay at that. '--EX.

Standard Oil company and Sena-
tor Aldrich Of Rhode Island is its

suit in some complications. But

whether they have a right to do

DEATH.

Where forlorn sunsets flare and fade
On desOatc sea and lonely sand.
Out Of the silence and the shade
What is thevolce of strange command
Calling you still, as friend calls friend
With love that cannot brook delay,
To rise and follow the ways that wend
Over the hills and far away?
Ilark in the city, street on street
A roaring reach of death and life.
OF vortices that clash and fleet
And ruin in appointed strife,
Hark to it calling, calling clear.
Calling until you cannot stay
From dearer things than your own
most dear
over the hills and far away.
Out of the sound of ebb and flow.
Out Of the sight Of lamp and star.
1t calls you where the good winds blow
And the unchanging meadows are:
From faded hopes and hopes agleam.
II calls You. calls you night and day
Beyond he dark into the dream
over the hills and far away.

Speaking Of the shortage Of
the treasurer Of Nigo county,
which is more than 500, 600, the
Fort Wayne News remarks:
For years Terre Haute has
been notorious as a gambling cen
ter, all efforts Of the law-ablding
element to curb the evil proving
Ineffective, as many prominent
citizens have actually discOur-
aged any campaign against law
lessness. While such an eXpla-
nation in nowise serves as an eX-
cuse for official dereliction, it in
a considerable degree is eXplana-
tory of it. A community which
tolerates crime has no occasion to
be surprised when men in posi-
tions of trust prove recreant. 1t
is in the air.
That is the cold truth, with
the bark on it. Public officers
are what the community makes
them, They represent the COM
munity sentiment, and as a gen
eral proposition are neither worse
nor better than than their con
stituency. Washington Gazette.
If President Roosevelt would
act as he talks he would be in
many respects one or the most
effective political reformers of
the day. He has done something
of course, and may do more be-
fore he is through, but he shows
that he is not unmindful of the
party lash. The thing for him to
do is not only to fire his messages
but to plant himself on the dead
line and fight the battle out with
his fellow Republicans. The
Democrats in congress have been
willing to help him as far as they
could, but some of his compro-
misses with the friends of affected
interests are a little to much to
stand. AS Senator Rayner Of
Maryland expressed it in speaking
of the presidents acceptance of
the Allision amendment of the
rate bill, under which a broad
court review will be allowed, he
is so constituted that he cannot
look at a trap without fooling
with the spring.

Col" Armstrong, as he was
lovingly known to his friends,
old and young on account Of his
military bearing, moved with his
family to Huntingdon about
two years ago, though he
was no stranger when he moved
there, being known to almost ev-
cry man, woman and child in that
community on account Of his fre-
quent visits there. He was a
man Of honesty and worth, and
was loved by all who knew him.
He was a great favorite among
the old soldiers and never missed
attending a reunion of old veter-
ans if he was able. 1t was at
these meetings that he received
the name Reunion joe, and he
was proud of the title, for it al
ways recalled pleasant memories
and associations.

If President Roosevelt keeps
right at it until CONGRESS adj
Iomns, the Republican members
who want to be reelected will
have nervous prostration in its
worst form. He is knocking all
sorts Of holes in the card board
platforms on which they have
been accustomed TO appeal to
the people.
From all over the state comes
the cheering word that this coun-
try will give one OF its old-time
Democratic majorities this fall.
That is the way it should be.
On the other hand the Republi-
cans are gloomily talking about
slumps in their vote. And this,
also, is the way it shonld be. -EX.
The claim is made by some of
Mr.. Rooseyelt's S admirers that he
has accepted most OF the demo.
cratic doctrines except revision Of
the tariff. OF course it will be
recalled that he once declared
that while he was a free trader
he was a Republican first. That
being the case, he is side-step-
ping on therevision question. If
anything is plainly proved by
this it is that. as Democratic
principles are unquestionably
popular throughout the country.
the only sure way to put them
in operation IS to turn the gov
ernment over to the Democrats.
In this way, and in this way on
ly, can genuine reform be as
sured.

A loyal churchman, he loved the church. $ worship and ways, being, until infirmities of age prevent ed, regular attendant upon it's serv- ices. For over 40 years he served his parish as it's senior warden, seeking ever it's welfare. When he felt that he could no longer Serve,oit was loss the parish could i'll afford, and his kindly presence and wise counsels were missed. Of an attractive and upright character, people were drawn to him and respected and loved him, and prized his friendship. The last years of his life were marked by great aff1ic- tions, but he bore up with Christian fortitude. ''Mark the perfect man, behold the upright; the end of that man, is peace." In the words of the ancient Liturgies. '"The Lord grant unto him eternal rest. May light per petual shine upon him." Our sympa- thy goes out to her who has been his wife for so many years.
