LET a young man at twer

LET a young man at twenty years of age put twenty dollars at interest, instead of expending it for tobacco. Then at the be- ginning of the next year repeat it, and include also the principal and interest of the preceding year, and thus continue to do so from year to year, until he shall have reached the age of seventy :; the amount he would realize would exceed thirty thousand dollars.

A Bold Stan.

To overcome the weil-grounded and reasonable objections of the more intel- ligent to the use of secret, medicinal com- pounds, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., some time ago, decided to mako 9 bold departure from the usual course pursued by the makers of put-up medicines for do- nestle use, and so has published broad. cast and openly to the whole world, full and comppte list of all the ingredients entering insS-the composition of his widely celebrated hedicjhes. Thus he has taken his numers1s patrons and patients into his full Confidence. Thus too he has re- moved/hisfnedicines from among secret nostrgDs>of doubtful merits, and made themgRemedies 0f Knol0n Composition.

From this littlo book it will be learned that Dr. Pierce's uea-- icines contain no alcohol. narcotics, mineral agents or other poisonous or injurious agents and that they arc made from native, mcdici- nal roots of great value: also that some Of the most valuable ingredients contained in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak, nervous, over-workcd "run-down," nervous and debilitated women. were employed, long years ago. by the Indians for similar ailments affecting their squaws.

A FEW days ago William Jen- nings Bryan was asked if he be- lieved in advertising and this was his reply: "The fellow whc tries to attract business without advertising, is like the fellow who throws his sweetheart a kiss ir the dark. He knows that he is doing, but nobody else does.' And as MT. Bryan has the faculty of keeping his name before the public with more success than any other man of this era, unless possibly the occupant of the seat he covets, his words bear the stamps of authority.

N every country

IN every country to wn there is sign at railroad cross- ing like this: ''Look Out for the Cars" Now, everybody in that town knew it was railroad crossing the day the track was laid. When.the sign was put up 1t took two days-not longer for every inhabitant to become familiar with it. In a week even the small children could read and spell it backward. Did the railroad take it down? No. If they had the warning would have been forgotten in a week and smash-ups and damage suits would have resulted. One- time advertisements act the same way. You must keep everlast- ingly at it like the railroad crossing sign.

Paid for Farm in Five Years.

It seems like a nervy thing for man who is S1, 1000 in debt and no money in hand to buy a farm, but that is what was done by c. M. Fleming, of Saline county, Ark, and he succeeded in paying for his farm out of crop proceeds in the space of five years.
 It was in 1895 that MT. Flem- ing bought the 96 acre sandy hill farm on which he has since lived. At that time he was not only S1 ,000 in debt, but had no money and had to be furnished with team, tools, implements and supplies. It was an unpromising beginning yet by reason of hard work, intelligent planning, and good management he paid for his farm in five years.
 Mr. Fleming is not an all-cot- ton farmer, but believes in diver sifieation. He had 65 acres in cultivation divided usually about as follows:
 Ten acres are in cotton, IF acres in corn, 25 acres in peas for pea hay, followed by oats which is cut for hay, 2 acres ir watermelons, ? acres in canta lopes, 2 acres in Irish potatoes 3 acres in sweet potatoes, anc the rest or about 10 acres, ir peas, part of which are in drills and part broadcast. This last ten acres furnish some hay anC all the seed for the next year Peas are also planted between the corn rows at the last cultiva- ton and are hogged down.
 It is Mr. Fleming's practice tt raise all his supplies of hay corn, and meat, and he usually has surplus of $50 worth ol hay to sell every year. Int average yield of pea hay is about one ton per acre; and O. oat hay nearly as much, and the price received is usually abou S15 per ton.
 MT. Fleming's land is mostly quite sandy and rolling, ol slightly billy. It's fertility it naturally inferior and it washes badly if given chance. The washing, however, is checked by deep blowing (breaking) and by the crops of hay which bind the soil particles. He uses all the manure made on the farm ano buys some commercial fertilizers, particularly for his vegetables. He breaks his land flat and prac tices shallow cultivation.
 Mr. Fleming is a reading far mer and a man who studies his business. He does not believe that success in farming depends entirely or mainly on "main strength and awkwardness, J but that there is such a thing as scientific farming. He believes in and practices diversification He also plans his crops so that his work will be distributes q throughout the year.
 MT. Fleming has wife and two children. He says that his suc- cess would have been greater il he had not been troubled so much with ill health.
 This is an instance reported to The Tribune by the Department of Agriculture of the United States. It IS parallel case ol many other Arkansas farmers and there are plenty of farms around Green Forest on which ar industrious farmer could make just as good a. record.

BRADY BRAVELY CLINGS
TO RUNAWAY TEAM
Spirited Horses Drag Their In
jured Driver Long
Distance

Several hundred persons narrowly es-
capped injury early yesterday evening
when spirited team of horses, driven
by w. J. Brady, superintendent of the
Pollard steamship company, who lives
IN Oakland, attempted to run away
Brady was driving toward the ferry
preparatory to taking the boat for Oak
land.
As he neared the loop the axle of the
buggy snapped and the noise fright
ened the horses. They leaped forward
and tore around the loop, barely miss
ing several pedestrians. Brady hung
on TO the reins and pulled with all Of
his strength. The horses suddenly
sweryed, throwing Brady from his seat
on to the pavement When Brady hit
the ground he sustained a sprain of his
right ankle He did not heed the pain
that his ankle gave him, but held on to
the team, which dragged him a con-
siderable distance before he got them
under control. When the horses were
quieted Brady limped over to the har-
Dor emergency hospital, where his ankle
was dressed.

ISLANDERS FACE
MANY PROBLEMS
Former Governor George Carter
Frankly Criticises the
Government

George r. Carter, former governor
of the Hawaiian islands, arrived on the
Korea yesterday, intending to proceed
to Rochester to meet his wifes family,
to join them on a trip to Egypt. He
received word yesterday, however, that
Mrs. II. A Strong, his mother in law,
had recently undergone a trying opera
tion and that the trip would have to
be abandoned.
I am merely sovereign citizen and
stroller" Carter said yesterday at the
Fairmont, where he registered. There
are many problems vexing the island
ers which we would be glad to see
happily settled. We suffer from being
listed under the same rules that gov
ern coastwise trade, and are thus pre-
vented from taking passage or ship
ping freight on a foreign vessel. II
the American people wish to make of
the islanders homogeneous whole
with the citizens of the mainland, the
more communication permitted the
more healthy the spirit of the islanders
''On the national campaign the island
ers generally stand for Taft. There is
little immigration into the islands. We
have labor enough now, but with the
restriction the government has placed
on importing white labor and the senti-
ment against bringing more Japanese
into the country, the problem of sup
plying labor for the future growth
of the plantations is a vexing one"
