that IL the people OF the state would

portions and the thugs and ballot
box manipulators have succeeded
without official interruption so often
that they have gone from bad TO

10 these Fairgrounds and in their
work lie the beginning Of social re-

VALUE OF AGRICULTURE.
The Backbone of Any Community. Says
Congressman Champ Clark.

Agriculture Is the backbone of any
community One may go further and
say it is the backbone of civilization
The world travels on its stomach. just
as an army does, and if the world is
to be fed there must be farmers to
grow the produce. In view of this
vital fact and the present tendency of
farm people 10 flock to the cities and
quit farming these words of Congress-
man Champ Clark. minority leader in
the national house Of representatives,
are worthy of serious notice:
The present high prices for farm
products have come to stay The rural
population is playing out. The present
census, II IL classes the unincorporated
villages as towns, VIII show between
60 and G5 per cent Of the population as
living In towns.
AT the present rate in twenty years
the United States will cease to be an
exporting nation for agricultural prod
ucts except as to cotton. One of the
principal causes Of the high prices OF
farm products Is the world movement
Of people toward the towns and cities
While few people In towns and cities
have barns and raise chickens and oc.
casionally pigs, practically the entire
town and city population are non
producers Of anything to eat, but are
consumers only.

BACK YARD BEAUTY,
Suggestion For Transforming
Rear OF Homes.
THE LESSON OF ONE WOMAN

How Yard In Back Of the House Of
Mrs. pennison In Scranton. Pa, 10
Utilized During All the Seasons Of
the Year.
There il study In contrasts In
back yards. and it demonstrates what
may be accomplished by the expendi.
ture Of some effort and little skill IN
Horticulture. Anybody with q back
yard. no matter how liliputiap in size
or how steep. may have pretty little
dover or vegetable garden. In many
large towns and cities there has long
been successful movement for the
identifying Of that traditional eye
sore. the back yard. where most people
appear to think all kinds Of rubbish
and debris should be piled up and
displayed In q conspicuous manner
Flowers and vegetables In the back
yards keep the young folks-aDd the
older ones, too-out Of mischief. and q
housewife who has 10 care for a few
plants has not much time for gossip
ing and comforting with gossipy neigh
bors over the rear fence. Aside from
having this highly beneficial effect a
yard full Of nice things Is most In.
etructive. II takes people back TO the
soil and gives them something more
to think about than the ordinary work
aday matters of prosaic life. As a
rule. those interested In land culture
not only take their work seriously. but
find in II one Of the greatest pleasures
Of life. During an Investigation Of
towns and cities for the betterment
Of back yards one that was a pleasure
TO the eye and a credit to the city of
Scranton, Pa. was the rear yard of
Mrs. F. E Dennison. There Is quite
a plot Of ground In the rear Of her
house which was sight to make the
spirit rise up and rebel when she FIRST
saw It. There were old tin cans and
boots. and weeds sprouted in much
confusion. But she soon changed all
this.
Purchasing some seed. she fell to,
and In very short time that unsightly
back yard blossomed like the proven
bal rose garden. Now she has ever
so many kinds of plants. She has
made II practice in the morning be-
fore attending TO her household duties
