A gloomy face repels friends. There
is nothing in it attractive. 1t makes
people pity you. A bright face attracts
people and makes them glad when you
enter their circle. Men ought to cultl-
vate a cheerful countenance, for it is
better to smile than weep. To publish
your unhappiness in your expression is
to invite people to pass you by on the
other side.

FARM OPPORTUNITY.

There is just now the contrasted
situation of farm lands lying idle and
of prices for all farm products which,
in some Instances, have more than
doubled when the prices of decade
ago are used as the standard of COM
parison. Wheat, which in the Chicago
market sold for less than torty-nine
cents the bushel in 1895, was quoted
in that same market at the close OF
last week around nlnety.two cents.
Cotton, which few years ago sold
for less than six cents the pound, is
now quoted at more than thirteen
cents the round. All kinds of farm
products, including live stock, has ad
vanced in almost like proportions.
And yet there are at this time several
Eastern states, the rich and densely
populated Empire State being one of
the number, in which abandoned
farms have multiplied so continuously
that the problem of what to do about
these deserted lands is becoming a
serious one that is troubling the state
government and concerning which
even the national government is to be
asked to take some action.
There is probably a smaller per-
centage of absolutely abandoned lands
in Maryland that in any other East
ern state. But in some sections of
the state there are thousands of acres
of tal Inning lands flat can be bought
at prices far below figures that are
asked in the prosperous Western
States. The trouble with these east
ern lands generally is that the soil
is worn thin; the natural productive.
ness has in some instances fallen be-
low the profitable standard. That
fact undoubtedly explains why farms
Ill I'VE" EnSldIu anu Ill new Ork
state have so generally been left to
pay the taxes without any help from
the one-time owners. But some of
the most valuable lands in MARYLAND
today are these WORKOUT lands that
have been restored. 1t is a demon
strated fact that Maryland lands gen.
orally, though worn to the bone with
two cent uries of tillage, have a natur-
al quality that is susceptible Of quick
Improvement by the use of lime and
chemical fertilizers. Each year there
has been movement of farmers from
the West to this state, and the pres
ent year should accelerate this ten
dency. Maryland's climate is suited
to every temperate zone fruit and to
all the cereals. There is practically
nothing which the farmer may plant
that will not bring profitable return.
The cry Of back to the land" ought
to be seductive one in these days
