A Commercial Lubricant.
Never was there an era in the
worlds history when so much atten-
ton was being given to agriculture
by the public, which is evidence of
the high opinion in which farming is
held. This is not an unselfish tribute,
it is simply recognition on the part of
the people that they are dependent
upon the farmer for the lubricant
necessary to the wheels of commerce.
This Farmers Institute will help
correct any errors that may be in
the system in these parts. Meetings
of this kind are especially necessary
to us at this time, and it is to be earn

burg and this district will accept these
privileges, and draw inspiration there
from.
Local Productiveness.
THE future of this country lies in
its agriculture. The maintenance of
values, railroad tonnage, in fact every
feature of our business will in the
course Of time bear the stamp of the
character of our agricultural develop
ment.
mo country offers greater agricultu-
al possibilities than this particular
section. Statistics prove that no lands
produce more tonnage per acre, and !
if one viii inquire into details, he will |
be astonished at what he will learn.
ut matters not what possibilities |
are, the fact remain that people must |
do things, and it behooves us to study
the lore of the fields.

Farmer a Business Man.
"The farmer is only business man

lose sight of the fact that it is his duty
to instill into his management the
most approved ideas of action. He
must economize as would the manu-

SOUSE EXCURSIONS

WHISKY JOINTS WILL CONTINUE
AT SAME OLD STANDS.
And Failure of the Last Legislature
To Pass Search and Seizure
Law Fosters "CIub" Idea.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 29.-With
majority of the communities in this
state reported in readiness for the en-
forcement of statewide prohibition
laws, enacted in the last legislature,
what some people regard as a most
remarkable state of affairs exists In
Memphis. The new law becomes OPP
eratice July 1, yet with but one day in
tervening, in which to suspend bust
ness, few proprietors of nearly 700
saloons in all have made any pretense
at all to desert their leases, and all
insist that they will open their doors
on the morning of the day the new law
starts with nothing but soft drinks
so-called near-beer and fermented bev-
erages of Notwithstanding brand on
hand.
Failure of the lawmakers to pass
search and seizure bill over Governor
Patterson's veto, during the closing
hours of the Legislature has resulted
in the formation of hundreds of So
called social clubs, all chartered under
the laws of the state.
Headquarters of these clubs" in
many instances are over or adjoining
locations where saloons have flourish
ed for years under the old law. The
locker system will be installed for
members of the clubs, and mammoth
ice chests have been introduced so
that members may take warm stock
from their lockers and with little de-
lay may store all sorts Of wet goods
in the club ice chest.

Karma on the Job.


Put in everyday English. Karma Is the
law that whatever you have coming to
you Is bound to catch up with you sooner
or later and you can't side-step il. II
may be good, or it may be bad, or 1t
may be little OF both. but it will find
you. no matter how many times you
have moved away without leaving your
new address. And whatever 1t is. it will
be exactly what your own actions have
made you deserve. Not an ounce more
nor an ounce less, nor a fraction thereof.
Some people call this law Nemesis.
Some call 1T by other names. Some
don't call 1t at all. but they don't need TO.
1t comes without calling. Some people
say they don't believe in it. and some
scon at it, But the law goes right on.
minding its own business and saying
very little.
Probably the majority OF thinking peo-
pie agree on this much-that somehow or
other things are to be evened up in the
long run; that we are all going to get
our just deserts before the final gong
sounds, II there Is any. So suppose We
let the word Karma stand for that idea
and go ahead to see how the thing works
out in the realm Of modern business.
The principle that we are punished
by our sins, not for them, Is pretty
evident anywhere, but IL you want to see
ii working hard and fast and all the
time, just take a look into the average
commercial concern. For quick returns
in this karma business commend me
to the marts OF trade.

Austria and Cremation.
From the Brooklyn Eagle,

From the BROOKLYN Eagle.
The decision OF the supreme court OF
Austria that cremation is Illegal because
opposed to the Christian idea Of burial
raises no new question, though it may
center the interest of many thinking peO-
pie on an old one. Though seeming to
be inconsistent with the resurrection OF
the body cremation does not appear to
have aroused any great antagonism
among Christians up to the fourth CEN
fury The disposal Of the dead was left
TO local or national customs. 1t was the
habit of the Jews to bury in sepulchers;
OF the Egyptians to embalm; OF the Chi
nese to bury as We do. In the earth The
Romans, like the Greeks, preferred the
funeral pyre. II was not conventional to
substitute anything else. Among the
Athenians, We are told, only persons
struck by lightning. suicides and very
young children were barred from crema-
ton.
II is to be doubted whether the court
decision will long stand even In Austria.
II is almost certain that the example Of
Austria will not commend itself to other
countries. That there gre hygienic rea-
sons for the use of cremation no one
questions. But local customs. especially
in the matter of disposing Of the dead,
are very slow I'm changing.
