The department of agriculture has
advised the farmers that the yield
of corn can be increased two bushels
an acre by scattering out the kernels
/ in hill instead OF dropping them to-
gether SO that four or FIVE stalks grow
/ in one cluster. About half the corn
/ in the United States is checked or
ple.nted with planters that drop the
1 kernels close together in a hill. II
is estimated that the substitution OF
kernal spacing planters would IN
crease the yield in the country hits
million bushels annually.

If ALL WHO HATE WOULD LOVE

IL y - ftf'O -
And all our loves were true,
TIE stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue:
If the cruel words were kisses,
And every scowl smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while;
If purses would not tighten
To meet a brothers need,
The load We bear would tighten
Above the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle,
And those who languish laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff;
If hearts were only jolly,
If grieging were forgot,
And tears of melancholy
Were things that now are not;
Then love would kneel TO duty,
And all the world would seem
"A bridal bower of beauty,
A dream within dream.
If men would cease to worry,
And women cease to sigh,
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has TO die;
If neighbor spake of neighbor,
As love demands OF all,
The rust would eat the saber,
The spear stay on the wall.
And every day would glisten
And every eye would shine,
And God would pause TO listen,
And life would be divine.

Death of Kaufman Baer.


The death of Kaufman Baer, the aged
father of Mrs. S. S. Frey, Miss Blanch
Baer, Samuel Baer and Meyer Baer, of
Cumbermede road, on August IS, ends
the life of a good man. He was
Hebrew by faith and birth and man
of the old school, He was eighty
years old, and up to a month before
he died was able to walk around town,
though still in feeble health He was
in the possession of all of his facul
ties to remarkable degree in his last
years. His memory was faultless and
his eyesight wonderful. He could tell
the motion of a hand a block away
with his naked eye, and, sitting on the
front porch of the Frey home, would
answer the friendly salutes of his
neighbors with unerring accuracy. Mr..
Baer did not belong to the present
day race of men. He was of the long
ago. and his ideals were Of another
day and generation. Himself one of
a fathers twenty children, he outlived
them all, and laid down at the last on
a pillow made comfortable by the low
ing hands of his own children, and
which was softened by tender recol
lections of life we'll spent and care
fully lived He did not live within
himself, for he always did for others,
yet he was a careful minder of his
own affairs. He never meddled, even
in home matters, and if differences
ever came about-the little trifes of
family life-this good old man might
have listened, but he never spoke. He
was for peace and he loved it. He
came to Palisade four years ago a
sufferer with many ills, but the balmy
air of the hilltops soothed him and
his aches and pains left him. 1t was
his joy to tell of how we'll he was in
Palisade. But gradually he grew
older and time set its seal upon him
after a while; and on that August day
at 3 a. m, with the morning star
sweeping in from the east in the
majesty of its glow, the angels beck
oned to Papa K. Baer, and his soul
took its flight to the realms of Para
disc
To dwell upon the career of man
of such sterling good qualities is
lesson of value. His life typihed the
benefits that come from simple de-
sires, aims and aspirations. He al
ways worked for others, and ever held
self in the background. When the
time came for him to retire, those he
loved cared for him tenderly to the
last minute, and soothed his brow to
the last breath The end came peace
fully like the gradual running down
of the clock of time, or the last flow
ing grains of sand in an hour-glass,
and he was asleep in the embrace of
the Great Reaper The angels sang
glad hosanna that morning as the
spirit of a good soul entered the por-
tails of the everlasting gates, and the
golden hinges swung silently to usher
in a new soul to Heaven.

THE MAN WITH A NEW IDEA
BY DR.. MADISON c. Pc

three years in the Colorado mines he
came back to Chicago and built two
cars costing $4,000 each. Everybody
laughed. at "Pullman's folly"
An UnseIRish Inventor.
Benjamin Franklin, of whom il was
said he snatched the lightning from
heaven" never took out a patent,
constantly discovering. His brain was
ever teeming with ideas He wanted
to unlock natures treasure box and
scatter her riches to the world. He did
much, all disinterestedly and without
hope of reward. Thousands had expert
mented with electricity before him, but
he was the first to evolve the idea or
taking lightning from the clouds by
means of a kite and store it in his
Legion jar. How much the modern
world owes Franklin is rarely &C
knowledged, but Indifference cannot
detract from his great life work. But
Franklin's electrical experiments were
only the embellishments of his greater
career as a statesman.
The Steamboat Man.
Robert Fulton the first man to apply
the power of the steam engine to the
propulsion Of boats in a practical way
was the son Of poor, Irish immigrants,
himself born in the wilderness OF the
Pennsylvania hills. He was looked up
on as a public enemy and people ridi-
culed his idea OF a steamboat as the
widest absurdity, but he pursued his
course and made the 'Clermont'' the
forerunner of the ocean greyhounds
which now plunge from shore to shore
in a few days. All his life he was har-
raised and worried by lawsuits and
controversies. but he braved all for his
ideas and devoted his life to the pro-
gress of humanity.
Northern Man Enriches South.
Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton
gin, was a northern man whose brains
enriched the south. When he applied
for his patent less than 10000 bales
was the total export of cotton from the
United States In so years the growth
of the industry reached. II. 900, 900 bales,
all through the wonderful invention Of
the young MaSsa chusetts man which
separates the cotton seed from the tex
ture. What was his reward? Thirty
years Of ingratitude, with scarcely
voice raised in praise Of his skill or in
gratitude for his life saving work.
Ideas i'm Action.
The lives of great men are great ideas
embodied in earnest action There are
plenty of ideas still in the world. the
supply is inexhaustible. but II takes
brain and grit and determination to
put them into effect.
Arousel Be one of the climbers and
do your best to attain those heights
where the world will be compelled to
look up to you Don't be afraid to be
laughed at. The world has always
considered its thinkers mad. There are
plenty ideas still IN the world. Every
thing has not been invented. All things
have not been done The world wants
