A STRONG EFFORT.

We acknowledge receipt of Congress- man Wallace's speech on "The Tariff and It's Relation to the Farmer and Home Builder" " delivered before con- gress last month. Mr. Wallace takes his text from The Crisis which says: Wealth not yet dreamed of will flow out of this land'and rot all save the pure, and corrupt all save the incor- ruptible Half-hearted men will go down before that flood. And breaches eloquently and logically, quoting con yincing statistics and unprejudiced data, until his views seem invulnerable.
 He reviews the recent, or existant, panic conditions, and puts the blame where 1t properly belongs. He says:
 We are forced to see as we would not have seen but for this furry, that the prosperity of the country depends at last not upon the tariff protected manufacturers and the trusts, but sole ly and alone on the shipment of agri- cultural products from the unprotected class. Currency, under republican mis- management, contracted to the verge of bankruptcy. The government rush ed to the aid of the powerful banks, but entirely overlooked the weaker ones of the farming districts. Banks issued cashiers checks and refused to pay de- positors their money except by stated amounts each day or week; they then took the depositors to task for drawing outtheir own money ' money for which they received no interest and created drastic rules to prohibit man from getting his own; they scritieized and condemned the farmer for holding back his crops for higher prices and threat

ened not to lend money on stored cot ton. .. The farmer, already over taxed by the tariff and the trusts, must be further punished by refusing loans unless he patriotcally sacrificed his pocket book !" thr further relief of the banks. l. Euot ,A.p Lto goods at once at low price or any price--to bring gold to the country and to further con- tribute to the great prosperity of the country, which takes special care of the manufacturers and the trusts.'
 Then in conclusion, he raises his voice in the following earnest plea for the common people:
 "Why hinder in this way the poor mans endeavor to build home? In l90j something more than $14,000, 900 was collected by the government from duties on building material. That is, less than per cent of the Federal customs revenue come from this source It is not needed for revenue, yields comparatively little revenue, but en- ables those who command the home market to increase the price of home building fully 30 per cent, shielded as they are by the Dingley tariff. A S2,- 900 home under the Dingley tariff would cost $3, 900, a $1, 900 home would cost $1,5J0, and a $500 home S750. These profits makes it possible to have host of combinations that thrive un- lawfully and unrighteously at the cx- pense of American home builders And it may be well for them who thus thrive, to remember that, 'Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet of fend in one point, he is guilty of all ;"

REMEDY FOR WRITER'S CRAMP.
Various Ways of Overcoming Common
 inconvenience.

What an annoyance 1t is to spread tie down to whole afternoon of let ter writing, only to find after half an hour that you have the writer's cramp. After the first letter or two you give 1t up in despair. and the friends who are waiting for letters are disap- pointed.
 This writer's cramp is a serious mat ter to people whose work requires that they use pen very much, while for the unaccustomed writer who takes an afternoon off now and then to catch up with her correspondence it Is, to say the least, very discouraging. The trouble is more than muscular in this kind of cramp. Very often low nervous condition will cause 1t. Then one should take it as a warning that the system is run down and needs gen. eral toning up. Very often. however, the trouble is in the way you hold your pen.
 Children now in school are not like ly to be troubled with writer's cramp, because they are being taught to hold the pen lightly and make all the movements from the arm instead of the hand. The old-fashioned meth cd which most of us learned, of hold ing the pen between the thumb and forefinger is also very likely to en. courage a cramp. The muscles be- come tense and hard until finally they contract so much that all control over them is lost. The pen should be held between the two first fingers, well up toward the joint. The trouble may often be relieved by putting the hand and wrist into the hottest water one can stand.

gress and prosperity is lack of dwelling houses. Several fam flies have been forced to take up their abode elsewhere during the past few months on this account. 1t seems if you want a house to live in it is necessary to buy it and turn some other family out, who must either build or leave town. Rents are high here and will pay nice returns on a small investment, and now is an oppor- tune time to build as all mater ials, especially lumber, are Cnedp. .st

BELLslRD BROUGHT TO LONDON
Rare Specimen That Has Been Se-
 cured for the Zoo.

A specimen of the naked -throated bellbird (Chasmorhynchus nudicollis) has just been received at the Zoolog- ical gardens, London. The most re- markable thing In connection with the bellbird Is its powerful voice. it ut ters a clear. metallic note which can be heard at distance of three miles
 It's noise is like that produced by a blacksmith striking his anvil. Some times it repeats its notes in quick succession, sometimes at fairly long intervals. There is no mistake about the voice of this bird; 1t is loud and piercing, and would be heard above the din produced by every inmate of the ZOO raising it's voice at once. FIX cept for a space of naked skin on the throat and around the eyes, which, during the breeding season, is of a green color. this bird is pure white. The contrast between the sexes in the bellbirds. of which two species have been exhibited in the menagerie, is extreme. For while the male Is pure white. the female Is brownish green. Darwin refers to the bellbird when he points out that white Is very rare color in terrestrial species of mod crate size and inoffensive habits"

Importance Of Good Roads.

The Gaffney Is. c. Ledger gives the
following fact and comment, which af-
. ford practical argument on the sub
ject Of highway improvement in a
nutshell:
Some Cherokee county land sold the
other day at public outcry and brought
from $16 to $3.50 per acre. This land
was twelve miles from the county seat
at that. If we had macadam roads
this same land would have brought
$50 TO 800 per acre. Half a million
dollars spent in building good roads
III Cherokee would mean an increase
Of million dollars in the value of our
farm lands alone. Will people never
awake to their own interests and be-
gin doing something for themselves, or
will they continue to abide in the
mud?

PLAN OF PLANK DITCH CLEANER.

PLAN OF PLANK DITCH CLEANER.
BOARD should be shod with an iron plate
e-quarter inch by inches by feet
5esld in position with three-eighths inch
bsslts countersunk. The cross brace
should be followed three inches on
each side Mt the middle the following
9p begin not less than four inches from
,esch end in order that its bearing
against the guide and mold board
planks shall not be shortened nor the
mailing space decreased. This is done
TO prevent earth from heaping up in
front of the brace. A light platform is
needed to make the use Of the ditcher
safe.
The ditch is made as shown in the
illustration Of the plan. the short side
of the chain being about two feet three
inches in length and the long side eight
feet three inches. The chain is made
ito pass over the moldboard. SO that 1t
may clear itself more readily. Two or
three horses, according to the difficulty
OF the particular condition, are neces-
ssary to clear ditch.
To secure the best service from the
.dltcher a weight of about 200 pounds
shonld be placed over the front end.
The essential thing to be gained Is to
afave the ditcher maintain a smooth,
even surface on the bottom Of the
ditch. There Is then no obstruction to
the flow Of water. This requires that
soft. muddy holes be passed over light
~ and hard high places be reduced.
This result is obtained if the driver
shifts his weight forward or backward
rs high point or a mudhole is APP
proached. If the driver shifts his
weight forward the point of the ditch
"a r is driven into the ground II he
1anyes back the pressure on the for

Good Roads Movement Progressing.

Postoffice department officials are
enthusiastic over the movement in
some of the larger states of the Union
for the improvement of the highways.
and 1t Is claimed that the liberal ap-
preparations for the rural free delivery
service have stimulated this move
mG-. from information being re-
cet-cd at the department. 1t is believed
by the officials that highway improve
ment will be stimulated in all the more
fhickly settled states as rapidly as the
rural delivery is extended, and one Of
the conditions for establishing a new
route Is that the roads must be in good
condition. 1t is claimed also that the
service is enhancing greatly the value
OF farm property.
