EDUCATION AND THE FARMER.

EDUCATION AND THE FARMER.
Dear Daddy Jim:-Will you open

been long since I visited your Club.
will not stay very long. The subject
that some of you have been discuss
ing is one of great interest to the
farmer boy, and should have fair
discussion on both sides. If it does,
it will arouse the ambition of most
of the farmer boys and girls for a
classical education. | believe a col
lege education is needed by every
farmer who intends to make a COM
plete success of his profession. A
classical education is a help to all,
it matters not what his profession
may be. The better education he has,
the better chance he has for success.
Most of the farmers are looked upon
as the most ignorant class of people
going, and in order to lift them up
on level with the better educated
people, they should have the very
highest education possible A farmer
should have a college education. the
same as a lawyer. Some of our
greatest men were raised on the
farm. Well, Daddy Jim, I will de-
scribe myself and leave before you
run me off. I have black hair, blue
eyes and fair complexion. I am five
feet six inches high, and weigh one
hundred and ten pounds.-Your
cousin, Robbie Sawyer, Conyers, Ga.

it has been forced upon him three

Of course there is little danger
that he will be elected, but election

ing the circulation Of the Appeal to
Reason another quarter of a million
or so, and that prospect makes his
nomination most desirable-from
Wayland's viewpoint.
Debs would not believe this He
believes that his nominations were
the spontaneous, insistent and uni
versal demand of his party, and is so
supplemented and innocent that he
cannot see how cunningly that de
mand" was created by Wayland's
forces.
He will be the Unanimous choice
of his party again in 1912, but it
will be ]. A. Wayland who from be-
hind the scenes gives the party it's
cue and sees to it that the party's
choice is his choice, and after the

the Government which he processes
to be trying to overthrow-and lock
them away in his private safe where
he now has many others, holding
them against the day when the APP

pertinent.

Dear Daddy Jim: VIII you let an
other Georgia girl join your happy
band? Father takes The Jeff, and I
like to read the young folks page. I
am fifteen years old and weigh about
lO6 pounds. I have dark hair, blue
eyes, and light complexion. Father
is farmer, and he thinks it is fine.
AS this is my first attempt I will close
by answering and asking some rid
dies. Leonard Hunt, your second
riddle is a white dog running a white
COW out of a white cotton field. Jew
ell Owens, your second one is smoke.
Leola Newton, your first one is be-
cause they are long enough. Annie
Lee Butler, your first one is because
neither one is very long, and your
second one is the moon or sun. If
these answers are right, I will look
for postcard from each of you.

NO WASTE BASKET FOR YOU.

Dear Daddy Jim:-I have been
thinking Of writing to you for long
time, but I was afraid that my letter
would fall into the waste basket.
Papa takes both the Jeffs, and we all
like them fine. Father thinks Mr..
Watson is the greatest man in the
United States, and I do too I no.

Watson says he cannot run for Con-
gres. Father says we can put new
brooms on and keep them sweeping.
We think he is doing more good than

MORE FROM MISSISSIPPI.

Dear Daddy Jim:-Will you admit
a Meridian girl into your happy band?
[ am fourteen years old, and I go to
school every day, while it lasts. but
our school is now out. I certainly do
enjoy reading the letters from the
different. States. I have not seen
many from Mississippi, but we will
try to do better than this. I think We
could do as we'll as many other
States, don't you, Daddy Jim? I will
ask some riddles: What is the differ
ence between a pie and a pair of
pants? Leonard Hunt, the answer to
your second riddle is: A white man

ton patch. Am I right? If so, I will
ask you for postcard. l will close

LIKES POULTRY AND HOGS.

Dear Daddy Jim and Dixie
Friends:-I have been thinking of
writing to the Club for some time. I
certainly enjoy reading the letters
from the different States. | have not
seen many from South Georgia, es-
epcially Bulloch county. So we must
try to do better. I am fifteen years
old and in the eighth grade I like
all of my studies very much, but
like mathematics best. My teachers
name is Miss Addie Dalton, and 1 like
her very much. | like to raise poul-
try and hogs. I have about twenty
five turkeys and thirteen hogs. They
are all very pretty. I think Daddy
Jim is very kind to allow us space in
his paper for our letters, and think
we should try to please him more by
improving our letters. We take both
the Jeffs, and I like to read them
fine. AS this is my first time guess
I will stop, hoping it will escape the
waste basket. If it does | will come
again some time in the future. I will
close with best wishes to Daddy Jim
and the cousins-Judge H. Lanier,

TEXAS KEEPS COMING.

Dear Daddy m:-Here I come
for the first time, as I have not seen
anything from this art of the grand
old State of Texas. We take both
Jeffs, and could not do without them.
[ think Mr.. Watson is the greatest
man the South has ever known. I
wish to accept Thos. H. Gibbons
challenge as to which is the most de-
structive, fire or water. He the af-
firmative, and the negative. AS the
affirmative always has the first say, it
will be proper for my opponent to
come with his part first. With much
success to the Jeffs and cousins,

age, but boy in size, and I like to
