FARMERS uP-To. DATE.

The farmer was once caricatured as
the embodiment of ignorance and cree
dulity. He was pictured as the prey of
gold brick vendors. He was thought
to be totally without SAVIOR faire in
personal conduct-and far behind In
abreast of-the- times information.
But the day when such an idea of
the farmer had much application has
gone, Evidences that it is gone are to
be found everywhere.
Here is a very recent one:
Questions asked the prospective
jurors thus far have disclosed the
fact" says news dispatch of he trial
of the packers at Chicago. that farm
ers are closer readers of the newspa-
pers than are persons who live in the
city. AS result the lawyers have
found that men from the rural districts
as a rule have decided opinions on gov
eminent regulation of business and in
many cases are better versed in the
intent and meaning of the sherman
act than many Of their city neigh
bors."
The old notion of a farmer was al
ways a gross exaggeration. Now it is
too far away from the truth to even
arouse smile.
The farmer may know fewer things
than does the city man. What he
knows he knows thoroughly-an not
specifically. Superficial knowledge
is characteristic of dwellers of the city,
particularly of the large cities.
The newspaper is the one best means
of conveying Acknowledgement only of
current events. but OF the course of
Observation-Disclosures the develop
ments be commercial, civic or political.
The farmer. cut off from the many
distractions of city life. not only reads
his newspaper, but he studies it. He
thinks on his own account.
His grasp Of public questions equals
where It does not exceed--that OF the
average city man.

Take Your Time.


What's the use of all the hurry,
All the sl1urry and the furry?
There's no use to try and get ahead
too fast.
Ease up sometimes on the hustle
That Is strainin' every muscle,
Just rest up and watch the tide of
life go past
Course you've got to keep a-goin'
II you want to keep a-growin'
But you do not have to hit the top
most speed.
There's no use to strain your b'iler
To become the fastest miller,
For you're usin' up the strength
you're goin' to need.
Teller needs a little leisure,
And frequent dash of pleasure,
And he's got to sand the track and
slack his pace.
Or his engine viii be breakin'
And his nerves will all be shakin'
And he won't be At to finish in the
race.
Course. you got to keep a-joggin'
OR your wheels will all be cloggin',
But you needn't be the swiftest in
the game.
Learn your speed and then go to it
And you'll never have to rue 1t,
Take your time and you will get
there just the same.

TUESDAY. DEC. 10. 1911.
READY FOR CHRISTMAS.


There is great rush and hustle OF
preparation for Christmas. Some peo-
pie enter into the spirit of the occasion
with about the same cheerfulness as a
small boy gets outside of dose of cas-
tor oil.
There are few small souls who de-
ride the custom of giving and point to
the fact that many people are wildly
extravagant-buying valuable Christ
mas presents for people and leaving
their grocery and coal bills unpaid.
And some part OF their criticism is
true.
Christmas giving-like anything else
in this world--should be temperate
sane. Gifts beyond the resources Of
the giveY should not be sent.
But with the exception Of few Of
the worst pessinists and the chronic
kiclsers--the great majority Of the
American public dotes on Christmas
1t is the one season of the year--when
the hearts of mankind open up. There
is genuine spirit of helpfulness and
q widespread desire to do something
for near and dear friends and loved
ones. Everyone wishes to help the un-
fortunate-especialIy the little ones
who may otherwise have occasion to
doubt the existence Of Santa Claus.
Fargo has been doing its share to
make Christmas an ideal occasion. OF
course there are some who have not
yet purchased their Christmas pres-
ents-but a great many forehanded
people have already done so and many
have sent those intended for out of
town people. The tardy buyers will
have an inning for the remaining four
days of this week-and will wind up
with wild scramble Saturday night
that win send the poor. tired shop
girls home in a ondition verging onto
exhaustion and hysteria.
But the Christmas spirit is on. II is
seen in the happy smiles on the faces
of the old and the eager anticipation
OF the young. 1t is the time of the
year the average bachelor would like
to trade his loneliness for a wife
and a bunch of kids. 1t is the season
when you can tell the papa of the
household by the broad smile he wears
land can guess the number of Riddles
at his house by the size Of the Christ
mas tree he carries home.
It's . great occasion--and a whole
lot of grown-ups would give all they
ever hope to have-if they could be
children for a day-and revel once
more in the delights Of Santa Claus.
Fargoans should and win see that
the unfortunate boys and girls of the
city all have some remembrance Of the
occasion.
Don't let any child in this land Of
plenty wake up Monday morning to
sob its little heart out-over an empty
stocking.

THE AUTO AGE.

Eighteen years ago less than $780,
600 was invested in all the automobile
factories in America.
Today hundreds OF millions are in
vested in automobile factories.
American cars are in use the world
over, especially the low cost cars made
in this country.
One American company alone re-
ports more than s1.Ooo.OOO worth Of or
ders for export cars.
Pleasure cars have attracted the
most attention. but now the auto truck
and the business wagon are having
their inning.
The reign Of the auto has only begun.
