The conversion of raw material,

which, under ideal conditions of con-

IF the southern woodworking in

HOW TO KEEP MEN ON FARM
Well Known Author and Editor
Delivers Address at the Nation

St. Paul, MINI, Sept. This
was Farm Afternoon at the ma
tional conservation congress. I'VE
have too many people in the cities !;
too few in the country" said Henry
Wallace, author, editor, and member
of Roosevelt's country life commits
sion. of Des Moines, Ia, whose ad-
dress on "The Real Problem" was
one of the features of the day.
"The great problem is how 90
keep enough skilled men on the
farm to grow food at a price which
the people in the towns and cities
can afford to pay
''The city man does not obtain
food at anything like the farm price
He pays third more, often twice
as much-three times, sometimes
four and five times as much as the
farmer receives. So long as we had
virgin soil to rob We did not see the
inevitable end; but now that COLI
sumption has overtaken productions
the city wakes up and asks whence
is to come its bread and it's meats,
at price at which it is able to pur-
chase.
The city must be told with brutal
frankness that there are too many
consumers OF farm products and too
few producers.
The farmer, too, is beginning to
wake up, and finds that his yield per
acre has been slowly declining for
40 years The farmer is a hard fellow
to waken; when Roosevelt and James
Hill talk to him he rouses himself,
rubs his eyes, finally concludes that
it is only a scare, and then goes to
sleep
"If the townsman is to live on his
income he must get farm products
moved from the farm to his kitchen
door cheaper than he has been get
ting them. He must do the market
ing himself rather than ordering by
telephone. which adds about 16 per
cent to the cost He must set rid
of the baby trusts, which fix prices
for both town and city and, vermin-
like, live off the farmer and con-
sumner.
at is a burning shame that with
the finest body of agricultural land
in the world, we excel in wheat
growing only the peasants of Russia
and of India, that we should grow
less than one-half the wheat per
acre grown by England, France and
Germany on land that has been farm

Use of the Will.

Children as their minds unfold
should be taught something of the
universe in which they live, and of
themselves. OF the physical side they
should know at least the outlines of
their own constitutions the funda-
mental laws of health, and, as they
advance, their approaching RESPONSE
bilities, dangers, duties and capaei-
ties as men and women. Such in
struction, rightly impaired, would
have saved many wrecked life.
Then, rising to a higher plane, they
should learn that the personality, the
ego or which the body is the instru
ment, is made up of three distinct
parasitic intellect. which apprehends,
thinks, learns, imagines and reasons;
the sensibilty, which feels, loves,
hates, enjoys and suffers, and the will,
which directs, or which should direct
Evidently the most important of these
and the one which, if it assumes the
right attitude and asserts and main
tains the control which it is clearly
intended il should exercise, will domi-
nate and lead the rest is the will.
Anyone without it or who fails to use
it, is rudderless. and will surely drift
hither and thither a hopeless derelict
or be driven a shattered wreck upon
some of the many rocks and quick
sands which border the great ocean we
sail upon.--Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE REsTFuI FESTIVAL.

Thanksgiving Is the next holiday
and we approach that restful festi-
val with gladness Politics will not
interfere with the open -heartedness
or eral-handedness of that popular
feast dag
The farmers in this part of the
state are fattening their turkeys and
wondering who will win The Bulle-
tlps bonuses when the birds are
weighed in on the 22d inst; and the
annual recipients of the big birds are
whetting their appetites and sharp
ening their lead pencils for the reg
ular words of thanks.
We are all going to AVE something
to be thankful for, whether the polit-
zeal events are pleasing OF not. AS an
exchange says; Whichever way the
Washington will still live and the
country will have been ruined only
rhetoricslly or in the Pickwickian
sense. Where the democrats have been
victorious they will eat their turkey
with an appetite whetted by long alb
stinence from the sweets of victory.
Where the republicans have won they
will feel the cumulative influence of
continued good fortune.
President Taft feels sure we shall
all have something to be thankful for
on Thanksgiving and those who are
depressed or think that they see the
crack of doom can brace up and thank
God that matters are no worse, or the
crack of doom no wider.
There is nothing like a cheerful
spirit to garnish a feast with.

Forms of lying.

A provoking form of lie is the one
that cannot be denied, as when it is
said of a man that he would not steal
q red-hot stove. The victim can only
bow in silence before the soft i'm
parchment, knowing at the same time
that its promiScuous circulation does
not enhance his reputation for homes
ty. 1t is in a somewhat similar vein
cock as being good man, weighing
270 pounds. What could one answer
to that? Though true in a way, it
savors more of what Mr.. Chesterton
terms the faint damns that praise
than of profound appreciation.
The man who Lies like a gentleman"
is hard TO determine. The sense in
which it is most generally used, how
ever, seems almost to justify the Gym
zeal assertion that society depends ON
appearances rather than on realities,
and that the objectionable offense
consists not in doing q wrong thing,
but in being found out.
The fatuous liar and the cheerful
liar we have always with us, tiresome
but harmless, with their vain imagin-
ings, reaching all the way from fish
stories to the latest cute sayings of
little Baby Bright. 1t is only neces-
sary to leave them alone and they will
hang themselves with the rope of their
own weaving. However convincing
the original statement it always
breaks down under the burden of de-
tail which the hapless prevaricator
piles upon it.-Washington Post.

Luxury and Life.

DIR. Mary Noble, the missionary from
India. speaks of IAN appalling sense
of luxury which impressed her as she
arrived in the United States from the
Orient. She felt it, she says, when
she stepped on an American steamship
in England when she entered a Pull
man car at New York. and she has
observed it all along the line of life in
the United States and comments rath-
err chidingly upon it.
What DR.. Noble is reproving us for,
of course. is the element of needless
luxury, the lack of economy in our
living. She certainly would not wish
her people to restrict their lines of
life to the limit of doing without those
comforts and even luxuries they have
earned by diligence and toll and which
form the essential groundwork of mod
ern life today. We in America I'M
doubtedly live better than do the peo
pie in India, or any of the oriental
countries, and, of course, the contrast
must be striking to one just coming
from those lands. But our present
standards of living are the logical re-
suits of constant progress that be-
gan when the foundation of this re-

THE BLANKET BALLOT.
