THE JOYS OF OTHER DAYS
Writer'S Memory Goes Back to De.
lights Of Which the Present Gen.
Grafton Knows Little.

We cheerfully admit that the fur
mace and the hard coal base burner
add whole lot of modern comfort,
but after all they have their draw
backs. For instance, you can't very
well pop corn in either a furnace or
base burner. 1t took those old
fashioned stoves, in which we used to
burn two-foot length of hickory
wood, for that sort of thing. When
the wood had burned down to glow
ing Goals, we'd open the front door,
rake the Goals down in front and pro-
ceed to pop corn. When we get rich
we are going to have one of those old.
fashioned stoves put up in our room,
with a lot of two-foot seasoned hickory
in the basement, and every now and
then we are going to start a fire in
that stove, get a good bed of Goals.
and then pop dishpan full of corn,
Just as a reminder of old days. OF
course, We'll eat the popcorn, not as
reminder of old days, but because we
are awfully fond of popcorn.-Yill M.
Maupin, in The Commoner.

THE MODERN FARMER.

The old order changeth and the far.
mer Is coming into his own. Not the
farmer of the funny papers, with his
patched jeans held ur by one "gallus,"
driving spawned team with broken.
down cart, says Portland Oregonian.
This class of agriculturists is rapidly
following the dodo, the great aux and
other rare old birds into the dead and
forgotten past. In his place has ap-
peared progressive. well-read, pros
porous individual, who seldom gets
beyond the reach of the telephone and
the daily paper. The old system of
haphazard farming has no attraction
for thsa modern agriculturist. and he
has reduced his calling to a science.
The lessons of adversely have aided in
bringing about this change, but to the
greatest extent 1t is due to the spread
of good farming gospel, as taught by
the agriculture! colleges and demon
strated on experimental farms. With
the elevation of his calling the farmer
is bringing about a remarkable social.
economic and moral change. The
change that has been wrought by the
gospel of better farming is strikingly
set forth in Pullman dispatch, printed
in yesterdays Oregonian, announcing
the resignation of Prof. George Sever
ance of the agricultural department of
the Washington state college. Prof.
Severance was drawing the very salts
factory salary of $4,000 per year for
his duties as instructor at the college.
but has resigned to become a farmer.
He is to take charge of three farms
just beyond the boundary line in Can
ada, and is to receive salary of $4,000 |
per year, with all his expenses paid,
and is also to have an interest in the |
profits.

The New York city empIoye who
wanted his salary cut Is per cent was
not such freak after all. He had a
string tied to the offer What he asked
for was a general revision downward,
not TO exclude the controllers own
pay, expressing willingness to suffer
himself if the rest did, and explaining
why all of them ought to. Evidently he
felt safe in anticipating the answer.
which was qu:ck-fire decision by the
controller that he had no authority in
law to make any such change of sal
ary scale. AS things turned out, the
city employe got a neat little indict-
ment of public salary methods into
print and kept his own wage intact

The French minister Of agriculture
has issued an appeal to the farmers Of
his country urging them to use goads
with blunter points in driving their
cattle. But not because the sharp
steelpointed goads are cruel; he says
nothing about cruelty; he does not
suggest that these pricks hurt the cat
tie. No; he bases his appeal on COM
plant from the American Chamber of
Commerce in Paris that farmers and
leather merchants find so many hides
spoiled by the little holes made by the
sharp goads that as high as 60 per
cent. of some consignments have been
rejected. And thus may business ac-
complish work OF mercy which socie-
ties for the prevention Of cruelty to
animals have failed to bring about

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
timable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautified, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfiguring rashes, itchingsl
irrftations and chafings dispelled.
To this end, nothing is SO pure, SO
sweet, so speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment
Send to Potter Drug G Chem. Corp,
sole proprietors, Boston, for their free
32-page Cuticura Book telling all about
the care and treatment of the skin.

Philadelphia.-At Tenth and Le-

dynamite was exploded under a
street car. The motorman was rem
dered unconscious and the car almost
wrecked, The conductor fed into a
cigar store, from which he was
dragged and severely beaten.
A policeman went to the rescue and
his revolver was taken away from
him. The arrival of the police re-

THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS.

AS everyone knows, G. w. Post of
Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a
maker of breakfast foods, but he is a
strong individual who believes that the
trades-unions are a menace to the lib.
erty of the country.
Believing this, and being a natural.
born" scrapper for the right, as he
sees 1t, Post, for several years past
has been engaged in a ceaseless war.
fare against 'The Labor Trust" as he
likes to call it.
Not being able to secure free and
untrammeled expression of his opin.
Ions on this subject through the regular
reading pages of the newspapers he
has bought advertising space for this
purpose, just as he is accustomed to
for the telling of his Postum STORY"
and he has thus spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars in denouncing
trades-unionism.
AS q result of Posts activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they OBJ.
struct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labor's output, hold
up manufacturers, graft upon their own
membership, and rob the public. Natu.
rally Post is hated by the trades
unionists, and intensely.
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men, and he defies
their efforts at boycotting his products.
Ihe latest means of getting" Post is
the widespread publication of the story
that car which was recently wrecked
In transmission was found to be loaded
with empty peanut shells, which were
being shipped from the south to Posts
establishment at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated with
president John Fitzgerald of the Chi.
cago Federation Of Labor, who. it is
said, stated 1t publicly, as truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitz- |
gerald the lie direct. He denounces
Fftzgerald's statement as a deliberate
[alsehood, an underhanded and coward |
ly attempt to injure his business, hav-
ing not the slightest basis in fact. AS
such an effort 1t must be regarded. It
Is significant that this statement about

newspaper publicity. In the patent

o physical force, that will destroy ma.

'nds, naturally would not hesitate to

We admire Post. While we have no
nmity toward labor unions, so long as

Belgium Has No Navy.

Belgium is, perhaps the most pros
porous state in Europe. as well as the
most thickly settled. The late kings
reign was at least marked by an enor-
nous advance In wealth and social re-
form. One of the country's special ad-
vantages is that its International neu-
