be well one must be hopeful.
That the lower bowel is responsible for
most bodily, ills is now being recognized
by the leading physicians throughout the
world. There is further excuse for be.
ing bilious, for having headaches, for
suffering with dyspepsia or indigestion, for
putting up with sluggish or lazy liver,
for poisoning the blood result of con-
-stipaton, for Munyon's Paw Paw Laxative
Pills are positively correcting all these all
ments. They assist in dgesting everything
that is put into the stomach. They slim
the secretions of the stomach, which carry
off all the bile and poisonous matters
through the bowels. They strengthen the
lower bowel, so that it empties itself nat
urally, without the aid Of cathartics OF
foreign substances.

and to do his shopping, with much less
than the former bother
We say that the farmer should be
asked to attend town meetings and to
JOIN in the discussion of such important
questions as those of good roads, better
paved and better lighted streets, better
telephone service, better train srvice,
tn location of manufacturing plants and
other matters of similar Importance.
Select prominent farmers, representa-
tlves OF different communities surround
ing the town, for membership in impor-
tant committees in the commercial club
Set the meetings at times when these
men can be present. They will carry
back into their communities the friend
illness of the town people. The coun-
try people will feel that they have rep.
resentation. Let the farmers take a
part in selecting the Chautauqua
courses, the lectures and instructors in
the short courses, have vote in the
administration of the public libraries
and in the discussion of other public
affairs. Do you intend to outline a new
system of street lighting or a series of
street improvements Let the farmer
come in and discuss them with you, for
he is interested in lighting and in paw
ing. Nor will it harm the townspeople
to discuss with the farmer methods of
promoting good roads.
In score of ways is the town linked
to the country, the city people with the
farmers. Let this middle ground OF
common interest be the meeting place
where shall be established a friendly
relationship that no outside influence
can affect. For the town and the coun
try are interdependent. What helps the
farmer helps the dweller in the town
and most of all the business men of the
town. Let the merchants visit the coun
try and become acquainted with its de
sires.
Let us be friendly, and the farmer 4

Winning the Farmer.

Winning the farmer has become a
most popular pastime in this country,
played at by many interests that here
tofore have been ignorant of the exist
ence of such a factor in life. Thus is
the farmer coming into his own. For
he is as much of a business man today
as any of us-a business man with a
professional training, says Merchant
and Manufacturer.
We like the phrase, Winning the
Farmer 1t expresses the situation
well. For the friendship of the farmer,
becoming appreciated as it should be,
is to be won (not forced) by sincere
(not assumed) friendship, by honest
<not make-believe) cooperation, to pro-
duce conditions that will benefit both
towns-people and country people; by a
getting together on the firm basis of
mutual helpfulness. Aand this much-to-
be-desired friendship will be won on
no other platform than this.
This platform presupposes belief on
the part of business men and jewellers
in towns that the farmers who live in
the vicinity are actually part of the
life of the town, are interested in the
affairs that concern the town and be-
lieve that the prosperity of their trad
ing point affects their own prosperity
This belief is growing because it is
right. Unfortunately it has been long
in coming, and the feeling of the aver
age farmer, wherever he may be, is that
the townspeople regard him as rank
outsider, to be bled on all possible oc
casions for the benefit of the town.
This is a condition which must be
faced. 1t is being met successfully IL
many communities. Those communities
may be singled out on the map of pros
perity for just that reason. Year by
year the farmer is taking a more active
interest in the town life. This interest
must be nurtured and encouraged II
every way. Trolley lines bring him into
closer touch with buying centers. Auto
mobiles have annihilated distance anC
brought the country dweller within
few minutes ride of the town, to which
he may go to entertainments, lectures

Statistics relating TO the oats crop

1T Is based on tabular summaries pre-
pared under the direction OF Dr.lIse
Grand Powers. Chief statistican for.
agriculture in the 9ureau OF the Gem
sus.
The statistscs presented cover
acreage, production. and value fer
the crop year 1893 as compared with
1893. In making comparisons be-
tween the two censuses the data for
acreage are the most significant, az
changes IN the area planted to a given
crop are due largely to broad econ
onic tendercies, which are fairly well
indicated by returns Of one year out
OF ten. The production, however,
auctuates from year to year in ac-
cordance with current conditions OF
rainfall, temperature, etc, SO that
comparison between one deeennial
year and another mag. not show the
true general tendencies. Such tenn
porary annual Quotations in produc-
ton also affect current prices and
consequently the aggregate value Of
the crop for any given year. OF
course there are broad tendencies
with respect to values IN addition to
such temporary Quotations. but these
broad tendencies are not always fully
indicated by decennial statistics.

PROPOSITION BY
ATWOOD JENKINS
To Be Made City Insurance
Inspector Received by
Board of Works.

The board OF works received an i'll
surance proposition from Atwood L.
Jenkins this morning, providing that
if the city would appoint him insur-
anCe inspector, he would examine all
city property and suggest where inn
provements could be made to lower
the rate OF insurance Mr.. Jenkins
asks that the board pay TO him one
half the saving that his work will be
to the city, based on the present rate
of insurance. He wants a contract
for five years. 1t was taken under ad-
visement and will be investigated by
the city attorney
The question was made by Gardner
whether the city could make contracts
longer than the remainder of the pres
ent term of Office of the Republican
administration. He said there had
been rulings in the supreme court OPP
posed 10 this. Upon hearing this
statement, Mayor Zimmerman said he
would then be in favor of revoking
istrationS.
Among the most important CON
tracts that might be revoked under
this ruling is that OF the pavilion pri-
vileges at the Glen Miller park, now
held by Charles Fetzer. The mayor
said that several persons had asked
to have the privilege of bidding for
the stand rights. Fetzer's contract
was made in the Schillinger admins
tration and holds good for two years
yet. 1t is considered very valuable
contract.
w. H. Campbell, Harry Gennett and
Frank Land have been appointed ap-
praisers for the old engine to be sold
at the municipal light plant, The APP
praisement will be made tomorrow
morning.
