DAYLIGHT AGENTS
START FOR CAPITAL
Cincinnati Men Begin First
Concerted Move In Ma
tional Campaign.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 16.-With
the departure for Washington at noon
today of a party of Cincinnati business
men, the first concerted movement to
bring the national daylight movement
to the immediate attention of President
Taft and executives of the Fedora de-
partments was begun.
The paTty consists OF z. II. Murdock
president of the National Daylight As
sociation; former Mayor Julius Fleish-
man, l. A AuIt, Charles Christie.
George R. BaIch, and ]. O. Schmidlap,
all OF whom arc among the prominent
men of this city, and lifelong friends
Of President Taft
1t is the plan of these advance agents
of the movement 20 secure the indorsc-
ment of the President, Cabinet officers,
and department heads for the move
ment, and endeavor to secure its im-
mediate adoption by the Federal Gov
eminent for it's employees
According to a statement made by
President Murdo.k before the party left,
it is believed tqat If the Federal Gov
ernment adopts the idea It will soon
become a reality throughout all the
States of the Union. With the return
of the party to this city a permanent
organization win be formed and head
quarters established. A bureau to dis
tribute literature covering the aims of
the movement will be opened and a
vigorous campaign inaugurated-
Although those heading the movement
are sanguine that 1t will be adopted
within month, they are ready to pros
ecute their work for the adoption of the
idea a year hence If it is not TO be-
come a reality this year.

lieves that it is best for the farmer to
stay on the farm. Since that is his
conviction, he does not hesitate to
assert that the farmer who retires to
a town or city does so usually to end
his life quickly. The Iowa professor
deplores drugery, but he recognizes
that, like an artificial stimulant such
as whisky or coffee, it may in time
become a physical necessity.
Not long ago an inquiry was made
by a sociologist with curiosity as to
the fate of farmers who quit their
country places to live inactively in a
town or city. His report was start
ling. If his figures are right it is
well nigh fatal for a Woodworking
farmer to stop suddenly and spend
his days in idleness. The organs of
his body have grown accustomed
through life to the process of destroy
ing muscle and rebuilding it which
continually goes on within the work
ing man. There are physicians who
say this is the normal life, and there
is much in reason and record to sup
port them. But it also does seem to
be true that in the last years of life
ones body cannot adjust itself to a
radical change in habits. 1t requires
the most rugged constitution to- with
stand sedentary occupation. The far
mer who quits his field to take abso-
lutte rest is going into the abnormal.
A better plan, perhaps, would be
for the farmer to make his farm life
easier. 1t may be more sensible for
him to work only eight hours a day
through his prime than to put in
twelve or sixteen hours a day until
he is rich and then expect to live in
comfortable idleness for many years
at the close of life.
1t is anomalous that the rich towns
man should be building country
homes and the rich countrymen leav.
ing for town houses. There must be
a way for the farmer to get as much
pleasure out of country life as his
city friend.-Sioux Falls Press.

Iowa's best eight counties last year
produced crops worth 500, 7S3,210 and
South Dakota's best eight counties
produced crops worth $31. 324,3 $40.
The eight South Dakota counties beat
eight Iowa counties by a crop produc-
ton Of 81, 541, 295. We do not speak of
this at all in a boasting way, because
South Dakota has long since passed
the point where boasting is necessary,
but we mention the fact just to keep
the record straight. There was a time
when land in Iowa sold for $40 an
acre more than land across the line in
South Dakota, only a few miles distant.
But that time has zone by, and no in

The government crop experts state
that there has been an increase of
about seven per cent in the acreage
devoted to wheat this year. This is
