While discussing farmers, there are
two brothers near here VINO perhaps
ought to be mentioned. Weston is
their name. and they are colored Each
owns a large farm which is we'll stock

In good surrey behind good horses,
the same as their white neighbors.
Have lived here for twenty-five years,
and have exchanged work with their
neighbors and are liked. They are SO
different from the average colored man
as to be conspicuous. The popular idea
of a negro farmer is an old man with
a much older mule hitched to one
horse cultivator. working few acres
OF ground, living in tumble-down hut.
1t is refreshing to find one with a
higher ambition.
While waiting in Bell Plaine be-
tween trains on a recent Tuesday,
stock train pulled In and unloaded at
lunch counter number of shippers
who were accompanying their stock to
Chicago, and in talking with few, I
found that practically every one was
with his own stuff. and but two cars
out Of twenty-five had been sold at
home. We are coming to condition
where our Iowa farmers raise enough
to be independent OF the home buyer,
and unless he thinks he can make
more. does his own shipping How
different they look and talk from the
pictures one sees in the comic papers.
Nearly every one had on white shirt
and collar and looked comfortable, too;
discussed politics and the effect OF the
class that reads and are abreast with
the tirnes. and are probably better
posted on their own business than any
other class. The farmer rarely falls
down Els a farmer. and 1t Is only when
he forsakes his calling and tries run

group like the above there is always
the young fellow "in the case" who is
making his first trip to Chicago. He

Common sense is just as necessary
(even more so) in medicine as in busi-

People are getting to know more than
they used to. Not long ago, it was
the fashion to make all sorts of claims
for medicine. and wind up by asking
the reader to go to a drug store and
buy a bottle. People won't stand for
that kind of thing now. They want
proof-tangible proof They want to
try the remedy first and if they find it
to be what is claimed they will be glad
enough to go and buy it.
