RESPONSIBILITY RESTS ON THE
FARMER.

When this nation began its nation
al existence it was nation Of farm
ers who hurried from the plow to
the battle field. 1t has been the
sturdy farmer who has been called
Go the front to uphold the flag.
Men who have worked and breath
ed the free country air are depend
ed on to furnish the brains and
muscle to push all kinds of difficult
enterprises. Agriculture is pre-em-
5nently the foundation of the pros
perity> of this country and it is
necessary that methods change to
keep pace with the change of times.
The increase of railroads has had
the tendencysto concentrate. business
enterprises to the large cities.
Eahorers have left the farm to go to
places of more excitement. Small
factories have either closed or gone
TO the big cities where they could
procure help at reasonable prices.
Still all of the factories and city
enterprises depend on the agricul-
sure OF the country for their success.
It is then necessary that the farmer
should take the lead in progress in
order that the country prosper.
TIE agricultural departments of
the different colleges and expert
nent stations are working to this
end. The farmer is identifying his
home and securing the best of
nschinery and has the telephone
and rural free deliverYI and adj
Vancet methods that make rural
Sife more agreeable and more in
dependent than some other callings.
All kinds of business enterprises
watch the farmers very closely as
their prosperity depends upon the
crops that are raised. A failure of
wheat or cotton or any other crop is
Immediately felt and alte the mar
ket. A serious shortage disar-
ranges business and throws laborers
out OF employment. Transports
ton companies are partly idle and
building operations cease and a
panic may ensue. On the other
hand banner crop booms all kinds
of business and starts all kinds of
wheels to rolling. Workmen are in
demand who can afford beef steak
and roast beef instead of living on
half rat1ons. Everybody is then
busy and should be happy. Thus
we see the responsibility that rests
upon the farmer.

china,s INSANITY Test.

In Laos. an undeveloped region Of
French Indo- China, there Is something
out Of the way in the shape Of VII
lage Of lunatics. The most common
form of madness there is belief among
the Iunatics that buffaloes are inside
them. When these madmen get too
troublesome they are at once removed
to the village. But previously they are
tested for madness by being bound
hand and foot and thrown into river.

Whea any regular, temporary or
substitute carrier serves the whole
of any calendar month he is en-
titled to LIZ the annual salary like
wise if the carrier is absent with
out pay the whole of any calendar

the compensation. Provided, that
In February the last day shall IN
ordinary years be counted as three
days and in leap years as two
days This also applies to persons
appointed temporarily in case of
vacancy caused by death, resigna-
ton or removal. Whenever, dur
the absence without pay of carrier,
a substitute is employed such SUBJ
stitute shall be paid by the carrier.
When a carrier is suspended from
duty without pay and a temporary
carrier is appointed the deduction
from the salary of the carrier
should be made on the basis of 1-28.
1 30, 1-30 or 1-31 of the months

Der of days IN the particular month
IN which the absence occurs. The

The Demon Of Unrest.

We are having the gospel of rest
preached to us on every hand, we are
told that we are galloping to destruc-
ton at our present rate, and yes we
constantly accelerate the pace. 1t is

useless to struggle against the tend
ency of the age. We are possessed

Twenty Miles of Shaving.

Somebody has decided that the av-
erage man in his life slaves over 20
square miles of cheek. This is from
the same source as the discovery of
how many freight cars it would take
to carry Iowa's crop. how far it is to
Mars, how many angels could stand
on the point of q cambria needle and
how much it costs the average family
to live. ~

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 10--Tramp Fast, a 2-year-old roan by the Tramp of Ala bama is the new champion 2-year-old trotter of the world. He won the 2-year old Kentucky futurity here today in 2:12 1-4. which is the fastest mile ever trotted in a race by two year old but 1t required one of the greatest strug- gles ever witnessed on the trotting turf to win. An eye lash in the first heat and a short head in the second heat gained the most stirring victory of light harness horse history. 4
 Dorothy Axworthy, so lame she could hardly hobble along, is the heroine of the race. She forced Tramp fast to break the worlds record to beat her. Thistledowne is not disgraced. for the nose that separated him and Tramp fast at the finish of the second heat proved that. except his conqueror. he is the greatest colt in the world. in condition for the race and broke badly in both heats. @

 MT. Mitchell. who led the miners to victory in the great strikes of 1900 and 1909, Is exceedingly popular with the workingmen of the hard coal fields and many expressions of disappoint- ment were made when the news spread throughout the regions.

 If President Mitchell cannot be tn- duced to reconsider his decision not to again be a candidate for the presi- dency, 1t is said that the mine workers of the anthracite region will nominate Thomas D. Nichols, of Scranton. Pa. President of District No. l. as their candidate for the office. Mir. Nichols last November was elected to Congress ana will take his seat In December.

 Had Epileptic Fits.
 T knew that my wife was accus- toned to -epileptic fits. but these have never been of a serious nature. When I went to tho telephone I was told that my wife had been so violent that she had been sent to the police station for safe-keeping. Immediately se- cured physician and went to police station. When I arrived there, we went to the cell and found my wife leaning against the door. She was so quiet that I did not disturb her. as she always recovered after taking a sleep noticed that there was Q string or cord hanging down by her neck, but little thought that she had strangled herself with 1t.
 'I thought that the best thing to do, and was so advised by the physician was to leave her alone for a while. went down the street. walked around to several moving picture shows, and went back to police station. This time l noticed that my wife was sitting in the same position. insisted that the door be opened, and when 1t was pushed open my wife fell to the floor We examined her and found that she was dead, and since that time have had little time to think of anything. MT. Mccormick said that he was married in Montgomery in 190 He said that his wife was never so violent that she was dangerous. although she was becoming more so each time she had one of the spells which affected her yesterday. and which caused those at the place where she boarded to be- come afraid of her.
