LIFE ON FARM:

For independence and Freedom
From Competition Life on
Farmais Preferable to All.
Sometimes a farmer gets the idea
that farming is monotonous and that
there is but little to do but toll.
This impression is wrong, for, the
farmer is a man of leisure compared
to the man of business and CONNER
eial life who ever amounts to any
thing in the way Of success. J There
lis no other man under the sun who
can enjoy life half SO much as the
farmer. The rainy days and the
time of rest never come to any other
man but the farmer. The change
of seasons and the big crop years
are events in the life Of. those who
dwell in the codntry, but, the man in
the city seldom knows. when such
conditions prevail and it takes a
stout heart to be thankful when
each night comes around, and a
brave spirit to face the days work
when morning comes.
+ There is no monotony in the life
I of the farmer. Every morning in
the springtime there is bird to sing
a new song, there is a new field to
plow, there is new task to begin
and there is a continual round of
the same old thing to comfort one
day after day. It is hard to think
about some of the duties that con-
front us in this way, but there is no
way to shuttle off the duties. that
rightfulIv belong to us in life.
And there is one blame to be at
tached to the average farmer, tits
the lack of habit of thinking and
planning. Many of them go on
without giving any thought to what
is really best to do. Many q tiller
of the soil has a set plan that he
pursues with each days coming and
no matter what better Judgment
would dictate the same old scheme
| is followed day after day, and when
at last the, course of life is run he is
no nearer his earthly goal than when
he first begun But right there is
where a great consola lation may be
gathered by the aver tiller Of the!
sol. 5
The man WHO lives the life he
Should, close to the breast of nature,
out in Gods great realm, there is
always something in his favor. No
matter if he does, not accomplish
what the world calls. great things,
still he may become benefactor to
mankind and his reward will be
above the price of rubies and his
fame shine on past. the limit of ages
land light the years or eternity.
But it, should be kept in mind
that mans duty does notie in effort
alone for achievement is the thing
THAT counts. Still remember that
there are, hundreds of cases where
mep mismeasure the scale Of achieve
meAt and often it is the little things
that count.
But the time is here when farmers
must take up new ideas suited tc
their own communities and do
something to develop their section
The man who depends on the Other
1 fellow will come out without any
honor or profit. But there is one
i good thing about the man who pre-
severes, he will set his own reward
I don't care where may go, mo-
longing for a nice country home

uppolluted in purity across fields o
waving corn and growing cotton il

can be,seen green IN winters disma

It is not unlikely that out of this occasion will grow more compact and serviceable organiza- ton of the democracy of Globe than has ever be- fore been attained. It is hoped that such will be the case. For surely the presence of the great est figure in national democratic politics should give the local democrats incentive to so perfect their party union that it's efforts in the post statehood campaign will be richly rewarded, And in this organization, which is now the cry ing need of the democracy of Gila county the national leader may reasonably be expected to take part in purely influential way.
 But whatever good the local democratic or ganization may derive from the commoner's visit, it is certain that merely narrow political interests will not lend tone to the festivities during Mir. Bryan's stay in Globe The day of his visit will be the day of all the people regard less of political sympathes. Not only will the people of Globe participate in the welcome, but in response to the invitation of the entertain ment committee, representative people from all over the territory will be in attendance. Most especially, the twenty of November will be day of united spirit on the part of the Globe public, for the predominant idea will be to sec, to greet and to honor the truly admirable char acter of William Jennings Bryan.

While it is trite fact that Globe real estate IS always on the move, yet still more trite oc- currence is the hurtling of large part of it through the air on every winday day. The city of Globe with stiff breeze blowing is mild representation of a Kansas dust storm. No amount of sprinkling down Broad street seems to suffice, for on the many side streets there is enough dust to choke the most vigorous pedes- trlan. Every vagrant zephyr sets some quanti- ty of dirt a-winging in the residence streets. May some kind agency speed the day when free use of oil on the streets of Globe will abate the present dust nuisance.

Ihe Sayings Of Mrs. Solomon (Being the Confessions of the Seven Hundreth Wife1
 BY MAUD MARIE

Oh my daughter, heed my wisdom and learn my ways; for men are unto me more simpIe than words of one syllable, and more easily read than the rhymes of the canned soup ad- vertisements.
 Lo, love is like unto pie: a wise maiden knoweth when it is done, but foolish dam sel stirreth up the flames until it is oyerdonel
 Now. when a man first kisseth maiden her mlnd leapeth to the altar; she sigheth for a solitaire and yearneth to settle things.
 Yet, l charge thee, whether it be love or champagne or question unto man, that which is settled is finished.
 Verify, verify, when the doubt goeth out of love It becometh flat-even as champagne out of which the fizz hath departed
 Behold. damsel that hath been kissed is like unto novel, the last chapter of which hath been read in advance
 But wife is like unto book that hath been read from the beginning unto the end. Her ways are plain and she hodeth no sur prises; for he hath discovered where she get teth her complexion, and how her mind goeth round, and why she doth things.
 Lo, how shall he mistake subtle sachet for a subtle personality" when he knoweth the exact price thereof? How shall he wax senti- mental concerning the curls of her head when he hath seen them in the process of construc- toni
 Go to! I charge thee, let the fire of love burn slowly; for the end is ashes.
 Yea, the sweetest kiss is the one untaken, and the tenderest word is the one unspoken, and the happiest day of married life is the day before the wedding
 Verify, verify, love is not an endless chain, neither continuous performance, but com edy in one act.
 Blessed be the demsel that knoweth when the fire is out and the play is over; for she shall wake up in time! Selah!
