ARTISTIC TABLE DECORATIONS.
In decorating your dining room
table aim to make it appropriate and
harmonious. Do not let it interrupt
conversation. Overdecoration is shod-
dy and heavy. A tumble of colors or
mixture of flowers is inartistic and
bad style. Decorations too high or
too massive are too imposing.
Aim for simplicity and elegance.
Do not feel that you must buy out
a dollhouse and fruit stand in order
to have handsome dinner table.
Wonderful effects can be had with a
few flowers and foliage.
Do not turn your table into jew
eler's shop.-New York Times.

nation as a whole, to realize that the
growing OF crops, though an essential
part, is only a part Of country life.
Crop growing is the essential founda-
ton, but it is no less essential that the
farmer should get an adequate return
for what he grows. and it is no less
essential-indeed. it is literally vital
that he and his wife and his children
shall lead the right kind Of life.
For this reason 1t is of the first i'm
portance that the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, through which as
prime agent the ideas the commission
stands for must reach the people,
should become without delay in fact
department Of country life, fitted to
deal not only with crops. but also with
all the larger aspects Of life in the open
country.
Three Needs of Country Life.
From all that has been done and
learned three great general and imne-
date needs of country life stand out:
First.-Effective cooperation among
farmers to put them on a level with
the organized interests with which
they do business.
Second.-A new kind of schools in
the country, which shall teach the
7 children as much outdoors as indoors.
and perhaps more, so that they will
prepare for country life and not. as at
present, mainly for life in town.
Third.-Better means of communica-
ton. including good roads and a par
GELS post. which the country people
are everywhere and rightly, unani-
nous In demanding.
To these may well be added better
sanitation, for easily preventable dis
eases hold several million country peo-
pie In the slavery of continuous i'll
health.
Organization Is Necessary.
The commission points out-and 1
concur in the conclusion-that the
most important help that the govern
ment, whether national or state, can
give is to show the people how to go
about these tasks of organization, ed
ucation and communication with the
best and quickest results. This can
be done by the collection and spread
of informal ton. One community can
thus be informed Of what other COM
munities have done and one country

OUR OPTIMISM.

There is no city in this country
where the citizens are so optimistic
as those of Winchester. Optimism
has had much to do with the progress
of the city. 1t was optimism that built
the two splendid hotels that we have.
1t caused us to establish the News
and to put in a perfecting printing
press that will cost complete, over
seven thousand dollars. Optimism
bought the first automobile fire wagon
TO come to the State. 1t has erected
business houses that are apparently
far In advance of the needs of the
city. 1t will build in the spring one
of the best fire proof Office buildings
In the State. While other cities lag

and are proud of it. But with all of

COMPLIMENTS PROF. sHIPP.

In Winchester last week, Prof. r.
M. Shipp delivered the address on
the birthday anniversary Of Robt. E.
Lee, before the Virginia Hanson
Chapter. His address is published in
full in the Winchester Sun, and was
an oratorical gem. Prof. Shipp said
Of his father, the late Thos. Shipp,
of this county:
Seriously, / am proud of the fact
that when my father at Camp Nelson
was asked by Union officer if it were
not fact that he sympathized with
the soldiers who wore the gray, he
impulsively answered, Sir, l am
proud Of the. fact thateyery drop Of
blood that pulsates through my veins
Is. Southern blood, and THANK God
that so far as ] know, / have not a
relative north of the Ohio River
Don't you know that this reply, though
"a truthful one, made the officer angry
an necessitated the payment of a
heavy fine"

One of the absurdities of our sys-
tenn of government is being forcibly
illustrated ia the case af California,
excluding the japanese children from
the Public Schools. Our government
has a treaty with Japan by which the
rights of the citizens of the two
countries are to be equal, whether a
Jap is in America, or an American in
Japan.
Now we have a State that repud-
iates that treaty. The question will
some day have to be settled whether
this is nation with power to enforce
1t treaties or conglomerate collec-
ton of Commonwealth, any one of
which at viii can nullify tn action
of the government.

The government through the de-
partment of agriculture does not cul-

does put at his service useful knowl-
edge that he would not otherwise get.
In the same way the national and

ton which is being given by the
zens of the towns to their own better
ment. For just this reason the intro
duetion of effective agricultural CO.
operation throughout the. United States
is Of the first importance Where
farmers are organized comparatively
they not only avail themselves much
more readily Of business opportunities
and improved methods, but 1t Is found
that the organizations which bring
them together In the work Of their
lives are used also for social and in
tellectual advancement.
The cooperative plan is the best
plan Of organization wherever men
have the right spirit to carry it out.
Under this plan any business under
taking is managed by a committee.
Every man has one vote and only one
vote. and every one gets profits ac-
cording to what he sells or buys or
supplies 1t develops Individual re-
sponsibility and has a moral as well
as a financial value over any other

raise the standards Of living and Of
intelligence in other caIlings.
Those engaged in al other industrial
and commercial 'callings have found
it necessary under modern economic
conditions to organize themselves for
mutual advantage and for the prOtec-
ton of their own particular interests
in relation to other interests. The
farmers of every progressive Euro
pean country have realized this essen
tial fact and have found In the CO.
operative system exactly the form OF
business combination they need.
Now, whatever the state may do to-
ward improving the practice of agri-
culture, it is not within the sphere of
any government TO reorganize the
farmers business or reconstruct the
social life of farming communities
1t is, however. quite within its power
to use its influence and the machinery
Of publicity which it can control for
calling public attention to the needs
and the facts. For example, it is the
obvious duty of the government to call
the attention of farmers to the grow
ing monopolization of water power.
The farmers, above all, should have
that power, on reasonable terms, for
cheap transportation, for lighting their
homes and for innumerable uses in
the daily tasks on the farm.
Farmers Own Work Needed.

on the farm occupies as good a. posi-
ton I'm dignity, desirability and bust
ness results as the farmers might
easily give it If they chose. One Of
the chief difficulties is the failure of
country life as ii. exists at present to
satisfy the higher social and intellec-
tual aspirations of country people.
Whether the constant draining away
of so much of the best elements in the
rural population into the towns is due
chiefly to this cause or to the superior
business opportunities Of city life may
be open to question. But no one at
all familiar with farm life throughout
the United States can fail to recognize
the necessity for building up the life
of the farm upon its social as well as
upon its productive side.
1t is true that country life has i'm
proved greatly in attractiveness, health
and comfort and that the farmers
earnings are higher than they were.
But city life is advancing even more
rapidly because Of the greater atten-
The Winchester news. [volume] (Winchester, Ky.) 1908-19??, 1909-02-09

and most needed IN our American life.
Upon the development Of country life
rests ultimately our ability by meth
DDS of farming requiring the highest
intelligence to continue to feed and
clothe the hungry nations, to supply
the city with fresh blood, clean bodies
and clear brains that can endure the
terrific strain of modern life. We need
the development Of men In the open
country, who, will be in the future, as
in the past, the stay and strength Of
the nation In time of war and its guild
ing and controlling spirit IN time of

ideals and local leadership. Every
thing resolves itself in the end into
the question of personality. Neither
society nor government can do much
for country life unless there is volun-
tary response in the personal ideals Of
the men and women who live in the
country.
Plea For Farmers Wives.
In the development of character the
home should be more important than
the school or than society at large.
When once the basic material needs
have been met, high ideals may be
quite independent Of income, but they
cannot be realized without sufficient
income to provide adequate founda-
ton, and where the community at
is impossible to develop high aver
age personal and community ideal. In
short. the fundamental facts Of hui
man nature apply to men and women
who live in the country Just as
they apply to men and women
who live IN the towns Given a sufi-
cient foundation of material well be-
ing, the Influence Of the farmers and
farmers wives en- their children be-
"o1acs the factor Of first Importance
in determining the attitude Of the next
generation toward farm life. The
farmer should realize that the person
who most reeds consideration on the
farm Is his wife. / do not in the least
mean that sic should purchase ease at
the. eEsecEe of duty. Neither man nor
woman is really happy or really useful
save on condition Of doing HIS or her
duty. If the woman shirks her oaty
