One Young man Who Left the Farm

Now and is Contented.

Butler, No. Oct. 13.-Two men, each
more than 30 years of age and neither
much older rode on the same train to-
day to station in Bates county. They
had known each other as boys. They
discussed what had happened in the
fifteen or twenty years that had in
tervened.
Both had grown up on farms in this
county. One was the son of prosper
our farmer. He had received a good
education and went to st. Louis, where
he found employment in commercial
work He was going home to visit
friends. He was tired of the city and
not sure that he was wise when he left
the farm.
The other boasted with much self
satisfaction that he was making a
good living and putting away some
money on 90-acre farm near small
town in this county.
Il bought 1t for SIC an acre." he
said. 1T was all run down and part
of it was in brush. l cleaned it,
changed the crops and mended the
fences and now you couldn't buy 1t
for $50 an acre"
This led to discussion. Both men
had the same capital twelve or fifteen
years ago and energy and ability to
work. The man who went to the city
had the best start because of his edu-
cation. Each for himself had settled
the question of where to start in the
contest for success. Talking with
reporter the man who went to the
city said his reason was that he didn't
have sufficient capital to start farming
for himself and besides he believed
the city offered better chances. The
other said he worked for farmer
because he could not afford to start
farming on his own account and he

known that Frank H. Hitchcock,
postmaster general, is dissatisfied
with his treatment at the hands OF
President Taft.
The split began to open up be-
tween Hitchcock and Taft several
months ago and it has been widening
gradually. During the summer the
president and the postmaster general
have disagreed many times over
matters of politics and patronage.
The postmaster generals recon-

there comes the word that the trouble
is that MI Taft seems incapable of

S.S.S.
PURELY VEGETABLE
The ONE SAFE LO0D REMEDY

1t is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan-
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
i'll every way than those composed OF
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest Of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
fers and the finest of all tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. 1t is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scroiulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, car
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. S. S. is unequalled as
tonic; it invigorates every portion Of
the system, and the healthy blood II
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement of the stomach
and digestive system. If you need
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. 1t has been in
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on
the blood free to all who write.

HISTORIC ELMS
OF HARVARD DIE
Leopard Moths Kill the Trees in
Quadrangle Famous for It's
Beauty.

Every tree in the Harvard yard is
doomed.
Unless the most drastic measures are
taken within the next year to save
them, within five years the Harvard
quadrangle is likely to be barren Of
foliage. says the Boston Post. The
price of saving the elms. according 10
II. P. Frost, well-known forester of
Arlington, will be the wholesale lop-
ping off of limb after limb and branch
after branch from the majestic old
trees trees that have east their shadow
upon so many generations of Harvard
men.
According to the specialists. who are
now hesitating over what course to
pursue, within five years, if the pest
which is now eating al the vitals of the
famous grove continues, every tree in
the yard viii be dead and not a leaf
viii be left.
For nearly two years the leopard
moth. one Of the most insidious tree
parasites known to the entomologists,
has been eating and breeding under
the bark of the old eims, and each sea
son spreading by the thousands over
every tree in the yard.
The only method so far discovered
for coping with the destroyer is to cut
ruthlessly from every affected tree the
parts in which any trace of the subtle
pest can be discovered.
At such severe treatment the college
custodians have baked.
The main quadrangle, it is under
stood, is already so badly infested with
the leopard moth that one or two of
the trees are nearly followed.
The moth begins its attack with the
tender twigs.
The larvae are deposited in crevices
of the twigs and hatch within ten days.
The eggs are sometimes placed in the
rough crevices of the bark in the
spring. As soon as Matched they bur
row tunnels straight to the pith of the
twig or branch, gradually eating away
the wood which surrounds the pith. AS
the worm increases in size from one
inch to two or three times that length,
they attack the stronger and larger
branches and there commence to wreck
the tree. BY instinct they move from
limb to limb, cutting steadily and ruin
ing the sap ducts. The length Of life
is two years, in which time a colony
can completely wreck tree.
As far as is known, the first discov-
cry of the leopard moth was made by
Dr. H. p. Walcott, who found it in
the branches Of his lilac bushes in 1908.
Very soon after W. s. Burke. who is
in charge of the college department of
grounds and buildings, detected the eff
fects of the pest in the quadrangle.

FARMERS WANTED

Schemes similar to this have worked
out very proftablv in other States, and
the Governor believes that this can be
made to do much for the prosperity Of
Hawaii and her people.
There viii be one or two such expert
mental farms on Kauai, one probably
in the Kula district of Maui and per
haps another in some other part of the
island; probably three in various parts
of the Big Island.
Considerable work of this character
has already been done on Molokai by
a private corporation, and the expert
ments have resulted profitably. Gov
ernor Frear expresses the belief that
the extension of the work will do much
toward the real Americanization of the
Islands.
In all probability most of the expert
mental farmers will have TO be drawn
from the mainland, though Governor
Frear says he hopes to be able to find
among the present American popula-
ton one or two men who viii be will
ing to undertake the work.
