To reason against the necessity of
continual personal approach to God
on the grounds that God needs no urg-
ing and is forever acting for us, is
simply to obliterate our souls, that
one part of us which only knowledge
of God can fill.-John Hamilton Thorn.

Wants $4,000 Damages.

NJ P. Simpson sues the Illinois Gen.
trail Railroad Company for the sum of
$4,000. The plaintiff was a passenger
on one of the company's trains. He
alleges that while the train was run
ming at an excessive rate of speed it
ran down and killed Newton Dun, and
the consequent sudden stoppage
brought the train up with such jerk
as to cause the door to swing vio-
lently to, catching the plaintiffs hand
and mangling it fearfully.

vent of the R. f. d. While country
roads in many places are far from be-
ing ideal as yet, still the length of
time when they are not fairly passable
has been reduced to a minimum. Most
of the main roads are well graded. and
nearly every farmer has a road drag
with which to keep the road along his
farm smooth. Graveled roads are be-
coming common, and macadamized
and oiled roads are being extended
into the country
All these modern improvements have
added much to the profits of farming.
They have added more to its pleasures.
They have given to the farmer the aG
vantages of the city without taking
away any of the advantages of the
farm. They have made the farm thr
ideal place to live.

RAILROADS SHOW GAINS.

6. l. Report

6. l. Report.
The quarterly reports of three of the
most important and best-paying rail-
road systems in the state, just receiy-
ed, carry. some rather interesting sta
tistics. The trio alluded to are the
Gulf and Ship Island, Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley and the Illinois Central
systems, which cover a large proper
ton Of the railway mileage IN the
state and all sections.
The statement received from the
Gulf and Ship Island shows the re-
ceipts from transportation revenue to
have been 4T3,540.89, while miscella-
neOus revenue amounted to S8,27714.
The operating expenses, taxes and mis-
cellaneous charges against revenue
amounted to 310,1S727, leaving net
revenue balance of $171,G307G,.
The report from the YazOO and Mis-
sissippi Valley shows a decided pick
up in revenue. There was a total for
transportation Of passengers and mer-
chandise of $2,258, 279.08, with an adj
ditional $25,06494 for miscellaneous
revenue, which gives a gross income
account of $2,283,344.02, which was an
increase of over a quarter of a million
above the same quarter of 1909 The
report of the Illinois Central shows
the largest volume or business, and
while there was a balance to credit
account a slight increase in that re-
spect is shown compared with the
quarter ended June 80, 1909. There
was received for transportation the
sum of $3,50S, 646.96, and incidental
revenue Of $29,089.SS, giving a gross
revenue account of $3,537, 1868. The
total for operating expenses and taxes
amounted to $2,783,165.72, which left
a net revenue account of $754,571 The

telephone lines are connected with the
central switchboard In town. so that
a toll call will get any one in the conn
ty or in the state. Market and wealth
er reports are sent out over the rural
lines at certain hours each day. If the
market is especially good the farmer
can call up the local buyer and con
tract his hogs at once, or if he prefers
he can call up the railway freight Of
fee and arrange to have stock car
ready for him the next morning. IL
most communities tie practice OF
changing work" at thrashing time is
still followed. This used to necessitate
a days work notifying the neighbors.
and then frequently it all had to be
d, ne over again on account Of break
down to the machine or bad weather
Now the notifying is all done in Il few
moments by phone.
On many occasions a prompt teie-
phone call has brought the nearest
doctor to the bedside of a sick child
who would not have lived until a trip
could be made TO town for the doctor
This is one of the reasons that IA tele-
phone is seldom taken out after it has
once been put in. In a hundred minor
ways the telephone has become ncces
sary TO the farm folk Often after the
farmer has left for town his wife will
think of something she wants him to
get. All she has to do is 10 call up the
store where he does his trading ana
leave a message for him. When the
young folks want to give party the
telephone viii quickly bring in every
one in the neighb0rhOod. \ stray
horse is soon located and brought back
home In weather too bad for the mail
carrier to get through important let.
tiers can be received over the tele
phone.
One other step is necessary TO enable
the farmer TO make the greatest use of
the rural free delivery and the tele
phone. 1t is the parcels post. Local
merchants have objected to a parcels
post on the ground that it would favor
the mail order houses at their expense
This can be overcome by giving Il low
er rate to packages that go over rural
route only \ parcels post of this kind
has been recommended by the post
master general He figures that it
would prove profitable for the govern
ment turning Ne postal deficit into IA
surplus. With a cheap parcels post in
operation on the free rural delivery
routes the connection of the farmer
with the town will be complete lie
can order parcels from town and have
them delivered at his door Il few hours
later Things which he cannot get in
his local town he can procure from a
mail order house in two or three days
The farmers are united in demanding
this convenience. and it is bound to
come before long.
The final step IN the emancipation
Of the farmer was taken when the troll
ley line and the automobile came into
general use The trolley has meant
. better schooling for his children. 1t
has brought theaters, lectures and bet
/ ter churches within reach of the farm
er's family. Best of all. the competi-
( ton with the cities has brought about
4 much needed awakening of the coun-
/ try schools and the country churches.

week Of the markets was doing well.
AS a result he usually managed to
strike all the slumps in the market
when he had stock or grain to sell.
With a market paper delivered at his
gate each morning he could follow
prices of farm produce closely and
take advantage Of a rising market.
This one factor alone has paid the cost
of the rural free delivery many times
over.
The market reports were not the
only part of the paper that benefited
the farmer. He no longer got his news
a week old. but had it served up al
most as hot as if he had lived in town.
