EARLY DAY FARM LIFE.

The Farmers Educational and Co
Operative Union, national organiza
ton, is holding . convention in ST
Louis this week Representatives of the
farming industry are present from all
/ parts OF the country, and the st. Louis
papers abound in interviews with
| them. Farmers from North Carolina
and Virginia are represented as greatly
impressed by the progress of the
west, They recall the days when hick-
DRY bark and grape vines entered large
~ into the construction of the harness
tackle OF the small farmer of the South
and when the life of the farmer gen
orally was life of organized mis- ry
and suffering from November to May.
A North Carolina delegate related
an incident of his youth, when he was
sent to a mill with corn. over the hills,
With the divided load across the back
OF an ancient mule. In those DAYS
each customer of the little water mills
waited his turn and took the meal
made from his own corn. The boy
was obliged to await his turn over
night, and his grist was placed in the
hopper just as the sun went down.
When he arose in the morning ready
for the return trip, he discovered his
meal had been ground during the
night and that two wolf hounds. which
stood at the receiving hopper had eat

One old lady on an isolated nosae-
stead, became very weary of the fare
and used to pray long and earnestly
that the Lord would send her some
bread. Two men ON a neighboring
farm, who had laid in a supply of
flour in the fall, knowing the old
ladys troubles, rolled several loaves
OF bread down the chimney while she
was praying. With gratitude the WON
an at once proceeded to thank ne
Lord for the bread. AS she prayed
the youths proclaimed themselves.

Weston,s Great Performance

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: In these
days of the auto, the flying machine,
the get-richquick scheme and the
presto change method of doing things
in general, walking doesn't especially
commend itself as mode of long dis
lance travel Eighty-five days or SO
from Los Angeles to New York may be
going some, afoot, but with most of
those who cross the continent the
burning regret is that it can't be done
! in less than eighty-five hours.
\ But Edward Payson Weston did not
4 set out on his long tramp to demon
strate the commercial possibilities Of
pedestrianism. He is to be credited
with a better purpose, or at least with
a better result He NAV have cared
more merely to do the thing than to
carry message to the multitude, but
the message he has carried anyway.
1t is worth something to the cause of
good digestion and strong limbs to
know that at seven.y-two man who
FOR forty yeers has been a long dis
lance walker has accomplished this
feat. And don't miss the point. Wes-
tn didn't ride ON street cars and loaf
on the corner all his life and then
tackle this job No. his performance
is the elimination of life of physical
activity out of doors.
The secret of Weston's success he
himself ascribes to clean living and
absolute abstention from stimulants
ind intoxicants He has been making
long walks for more than forty wears
In 1876, he walked from Portland Ne
TO Chicago, distance of 1926 miles
in one hour and twenty minutes less
than twentysix days. In 1907. forty
years later, at the age of sixty.nine
he repeated his feat, and covered 1.845
miles in twenty-four days and nineteen
nours, thus beating his record OF 1867
b. twenty six hours.
From the inception OF his heroic
tramp which began on February i last
at Los Angeles, the sprightly veteran
Eas found his progress across the
country triumphal march. Children
and country folk cheered him in the
smaller towns, while in the larger
cities caravans of automobiles fell in
behind him and thousands followed
afoot. The mayors of such cities as
