OPPOSED TO LOCAL PROGRESS.
Journals That Help to Concentrate
Business in Large Cities.

There are thousands of so-called ag-
ricultural papers published in the
United States, all of more or less
merit. Yet few are all that they should
be. There is an inconsistency about
them that invites careful study. While
they are supposed to represent the
best interests of the great class of
workers whom they gain support from
in the way Of subscriptions, the ma
jority of them apparently work against
the progress of farming communities
by becoming the mediums. a part of
the machinery. which draws from
country towns the support which they
should have.
Ii is to be regretted that many of
these so-called agricultural papers are
merely published for the purpose of
circulating the advertisements of COM
Germs which seek to secure trade from
residents of farming districts to the
detriment of the home towns. These
establishments take money from the
rural communities to the large finan-
cial centers. The thoughtful man or
woman can see how injurious it
is to the interests of the farmers to
take away the surplus earnings which
represent the wealth of the commu-
nifty. 1t requires but little observa-
ton and study to understand that to
great extent farm values are de-
pendent upon the Importance OF the
nearby town, and that any system
that takes away its business, will re-
suit in a decrease OF farm values.
Such papers as advise the farmers to
patronize other than home institutions
and which advocate systems that are
opposed to the up-building of indus.
tries in agricultural districts are not
worthy OF support.

egg gives the top of the pie a brilliant
glare.

Home Trade Idea Not New.

Day after day the people are awak-
ening to the fact that the only way
the evils Of trusts can be combatted
Is by an adherence to the home trade
doctrine. 1t is nothing new. 1t was
the sentiment that prompted the
founders of our government to sound
the clarion of Liberty from the sum-
NIT of Bunker Hill. Then. II was the
forcing OF people dependent on an
other government to pay an unjust
tribute for necessaries OF life. To-
day 1t is one class of people of a ma
tion, and the greatest nation on earth
to compel the other classes to pay un-
just tribute in a commercial way. The
wrong was righted by blood In the
first case; the wrong can be righted
in the present case by the people with.
out resorting to serious trouble. by
merely exercising their prerogatives
and the means that lie in their power
to prevent the concentration of great
wealth In the big financial centers by
keeping their surplus earnings at
home. It is the draining the dollars
from the country to the large cities
that assist in building up the great
combines. the great trusts. which are
manipulated to the deteriment OF the
people OF the country at large. 1t
does not require special legislation for
the farmer to buy -four made In his
home mill; to use other products made
In his county or state. or to patronize
the merchants of his home town.

TO THE FARMER.soY.
His Chances Are Best in His Home
Town Rather Than In the Big City.

My boy, the farm Is all right Some
times you may feel that its environs
are too narrow for you, its life too
much OF humdrum, and that you
would prefer to be one of the residents
OF the big city or town. There have
been hundreds and thousands of 9TH
ers just like you, and with just such
Ideas. They have started from the
farm buoyant with hope, and after
years have regretted their youthful
resolutions. Others have succeeded;
have won laurels in the professional
field, in business. in craftsmanship;
but the few who have succeeded thus
are SO small In number compared to
the army of failures that there is lit
tie encouragement for the careful
thinker to leave that which promises
security from want and independence
for life time. The farmer is surely
the most independent of all workers.
He is sure to receive a greater re-
ward for his labors, is his own man.
ager, and If he will strive diligently
can aspire to place in the public es-
innate that few can attain in the large
towns.
OF course there are times when you
think there is almost an unbearable
dullness about existence on the farm.
Were you resident of the city, there
would be times when you would long
for the quietness and the pleasure that
the farm affords. Hours of work may
be long riding the plow, or harvesting
the grain, but far superior is the work
than that the great majority of the
city youths are compelled to follow,
and how much greater the compensa-
ton? How would you like to stand
behind the dry goods or grocery coun-
ter from morning to night for the
small wages that the city clerk re-
ceives? Year after year the laborer
lives in cheap boarding houses and
rarely save sufficient to engage in
business. His is a mere subsistence,
and a constant struggle. The best
years of life are wasted in making
money for others, while the indus
trious farmer is working for himself,
saving money year after year, and
when the time for rest comes it en-.
ables him to take it.
Cities are overcrowded with clerk
help. An advertisement inserted in
any daily paper for clerk to fill any
position will bring hundreds of re-
sponses. The array of unemployed
and those seeking to better their con-
ditions is always large. OF late years
large element of workers from cit
les are looking toward the farms for
employment. They realize that the
farm offers more permanency of occu-
patton and greater independence than
like efforts in the city can possibly
afford. Before you concentrate your
attention on employment in city or
town, weigh every matter well, and
then act according to what reason die
tates. You will be very likely to con-
clude that the farm is good enough
place for you, and that your own lit
tie home town is preferable to the
over-crowded city. Remember that
your greatest interests center in
what you call your home town" Do
all you can to assist in it's improve
ment, and make it better business
place. d. NJ. CARR

CARE OF TABLE LINEN.
One Great Mistake That Is Made by
Some Housewives.

1t matters not how neatly one may
have the table arranged, II the table
linen is not spotlessly white the ap-
pearance Is marred by the defect.
Care must be taken of fine table linen
or 1t soon gets the yellow dip" 80
much dreaded by careful housewives.
The first mistake is made by throw
ing the tablecloth in the laundry bag
with napkins which are damp, and
they always are when the finger bowls
are used. Each piece should be dried
and stains removed before placing 1t
away for washing. To properly wash
them they cannot be made pure and
white If placed in with other clothes.
This is warning to heed. Soak the
linen in tepid water for three-quarters
OF an hour, and always wiring the
pieces by hand, for wringer creases do
not come out at times even under
heavy hot iron. Next put the clothes
In good suds, wash carefully and put
in boiler of cold water which has
nothing but borax to soften it. Bring
the water to boil, give the pieces a
second suds. then carefully rinse. Two
persons should stretch the long table
cloths and place on line, hanging
them perfectly even. In ironing they
must be rather damp. Fold side to side
with one seam only. Iron perfectly dry
until gloss appears. They must not
be starched, since good linen is stiff
enough when properly ironed. Hang
the pieces over a rod where they hang
perfectly straight and allow to dry be-
fore they are put away. Now would
you know why it is that some women
have their table linen always looking
new? 1t is done in folding the ironed
pieces. Boards such as are used to fold
dress goods on are what you will need.
Cover the pieces with any old muslin
and carefully roll the table cloth on
this. If the sides are too long care
fully fold the edges toward the center.
Put in the linen closet and when ready
for use you have new-looking piece
for the table. Do not comb fringe on
pieces, but use a moderately stiff
bristle brush for the purpose. In iron
ing monograms lay the right side
down on Turkish towel and the let
ters will be beautifully ironed in this
manner. which is an improvement
over the soft blanket method.
