Gornpers.

Samuel Gompers may scratch his
chin until his fingers are weary. The
only possible explanation Of his failure
to carry out his threat and make the
Democratic candidate present Of the
vote OF organized labor is that he did
not have the goods to deliver. He is
a poor political expressman. More
over, he is poor chef, because he
tried to cook his rabbit before he had
caught it. He has had a somewhat
painful lesson that the workingman ol
the country is not in the union fol
partisan politics and cannot be aroused
by denunciatory eloquence to an at
tempt to destroy the courts. He mus
understand, and pretty well, too, thi:
morning that the day Of personal owner

gone. The more Mr.. Gompers studie!
his fate, the wiser will he be. Anc

FORSYTH MISSOURI THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1908,
Big Week for Missouri Farmers

Big Week tor Missouri Farmers.
The Missouri state board Of horti-
culture, which was created BY special
act Of the Legislature two years ago,
announces that the second winter in
stitute under the new organization will
be held in the auditorium Of the uni
versity at Columbia, January 6th-Sth,
1909, during Farmers Week. I"
Special features Of this meeting which
make it Of unusual interest to fruit
growers and others are:
The big fruit display; three hundred
dollars in cash prizes offered for horti-
cultural products exhibited; oppor-
tunity to attend the sessions OF the
other state farmers organizations, eight
in number, which will be meeting at
the same time; a chance to see the
large collection Of the famous western
fruit in boxes, and be instructed by an
expert in the fine points Of grading and
packing Of apples and pears in order
to secure big prices; opportunity to
visit the different buildings and de-
partments Of the university, agricul-
tural college and experiment station.
1t is also pointed out that the agri-
cultural colleges short course for farm
ers will be just beginning and that the
men in attendance, together with the
regular agricultural students, will be
doing some Of their usual school work
in butter making, live stock judging,
corn judging, pruning and propagating
plants, ETC., etc., all OF which will be
Of great interest TO practical farmers.
Because this is a leisure time oI
year with farmers, they are urged to
to take few days vacation and meet
with some Of their live organizations
and acquire a big stock of new ideas
concerning their business.

Our New Agricultural Empire.

Special to the Republican.
The government wants to know why
intelligent well-to-do farmers from the
Mississippi valley continue to flock to
the Canadian Wilderness to take up
homes under a foreign flag while in
viting and attractive opportunities Tor
settlers are still open on many Of the
reclamation projects in the west.
While there has been a decided falling
off in the movement from this country
into the northwest territories, the num-
Der Of our desirable citizens who are
leaving the United States to take up
farms in Canada is large, and efforts
should be made to divert them to the
several sections Of our own country
where just as good, If not better, op-
portunities exist for the homeseeker.
The national government is a big
land owner but it does not advertise,
while Canada expends large sums an
nually for this purpose. Steps should
be taken at this time to acquaint the
homeseekers OF this country with the
fact that within our own borders there
yet remain many desirable locations
for home builders.
Our great western region in soil,
climate and crop possibilities is super
ior to the regions farther north. Il
possesses better transportation facili
ties and markets, it is under our owl
flag and is occupied by our own peo
pie. Its development adds to our ma
tional greatness and strength. Po
tentially it is the richest and most fer
tile agricultural area in the world ant
it is destined to become the center o
a vast population which shall repre-
sent the highest ideals Of America
citizenship. No efforts should b,
spared TO exploit its advantages and it
opportunities.
Just at the present time the con

projects has progressed to the poir

homeseekers. These farms are open to
settlement under the homestead act,
subject to the provisions Of the recla-
nation law. The soil and climate are
such that with the assured water sup
ply which the government guarantees,
maximum harvests are insured. In.
telligent farming on these projects is
rewarded by larger returns than ii
humid regions and the crop products
are as diversified as can be grown ii

III THE HomE NEST
Cheerful Evening RevorIes for Tired
Mothers

Men and women don't need to
swing clubs to threaten home con-
cord. The husband, armed with
a sneer, and the wife who carries
waspish tongue, are just as well
caparisoned for eath-dealing
battle as though they pounded each
other with baseball bats. Sar-
casm and nagging are to the atmos-
phere of love what sand-flies and
feas are to summer weather. Who
would not prefer an occasional
brush with roaring June bug, TO
the eternal torment of a flea you
can't catch.

The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1908-11-19

How many hungry hearts there
are in the world, bungering for
recognition, for a word OF praise!
The hungriest heart in this world
is an unpraised woman whose
husband never gives her a word Of
praise or recognition for a sacrifice
made in his behalf. Love may be
there in his heart for her, love deep
and abiding, and should death
claim her, the fountains OF his
heart would be broken up and he
would realize what he had lost,
and cover her grave with roses,
which, had they been presented a
single one at a time with a tithe
of the tenderness he now shows,
would have rendered her path far
brighter and kindled in her life a
ray of sunshine; not that her bur.
dens were diminished, but by q
knowledge indisputable that hel
efforts were appreciated. A hun
CRY heart, which is destined nevel
to be fed, is one of the saddles
spectacles ever witnessed in thi!
world OF ours. If you have ;
word of praise TO bestow on you
wife--if it is due, bestow it, d.
not wait until she is dead, and b,
forced through binding tears t,
tell your heart in its wild throb
bing that you have lived a dua
life by sitting thoughts and keep
ing back words that would hav
brought flush of pleasure TO be
cheeks, old as she IS, and set he
heart to dancing with pleasur
only known to those who have ha
. their hungry hearts fed by word
of praise and appreciation

to housekeeping with it and

freckled or fretted, and as the face

sick of his trade, knows Of a dozen
pretty faces he likes better, gives
up staying at home evenings, con-
soleS himself with cigars and
politics and looks upon his home
as very indifferent boarding
house.
Another young man becomes en-
amored of a "fortune. He waits
upon it to parties, dances a polka
with it, exchanges "billet doux"
with it, pops the question to it,
gets accepted by it, takes il to the
parson, weds it, calls it "wife,"
carries it home, sets up an estab-
lishment with it, introduces it to
his friends and says he too is mar
ried and has a home. 1t is false.
He is not married; he has no home.

in the wrong box, but it is too late
to get out of it; he might as we'll
try to get out of his coffin. His
friends congratulate him and he

If young man would escape
these sad consequences, let him
shun the rocks upon which so
many have been shIpwrecked. Let
him disregard wholly all con-
siderations Of wealth, beauty, ex-
ternal accomplishments, fashion,
connections in society, and every
other mere selfish and worldly end
and look into the mind and heart
OF the woman he thinks Of marry.
ing. If he cannot love her for
herself alone--that is for all that
goes to make up her character as
a woman--let him disregard every
external inducement, and shun a
marriage with her as the greatest
evil to which he could be sub
jected And if he has in him a
spark OF virtuous feeling-if he
has one unselhsh and generous
emotion--he will shuu such mar
riage for the woman's sake also,
for it would be sacrificing her hap
piness as well as his own.
Every member OF community
and especially every parent should
take a deep interest in the school.
1t is not enough TO pay your school
tax without complaining, or to
know that the teachers are quail
fed, nor is it even enough to keep
your children in school regularly.
} If you are really interested in the
subject as you should be, you
should visit the school regularly
ana peTSlStently. Few people
; have any idea what an incentive i,
is to both teacher and pupil to
know that parents and outsiders
are taking a lively interest in their
work. We believe the "little
folks" at school appreciate such
interest more perhaps than the
larger ones. Still the effect i:
not lost on any of them, and We
hope every parent will take hin
from this and place the school or
: their visiting list.
