FIX UP THE FRONT YARD

Just why the average farmer cares
so little for the appearance of his front
yard-if it be permissible to call the
plot of ground in front of his house a
yards a mystery. says the. Kansas
Industrialist. 1t is hard to understand.
Is the average farmer careless, does
he lack a sense of appropriateness, or
hasn't he the time to put things right?
What's the matter with him?
Some of the neatest yards in cities
represent the labor and thought of
men that put in as long hours in Of
fees or shops as the farmer works in
his fields. And they have real homes,
too, these city workers. 1t is not a
matter of money. These homes are
owned. or rented. by men that have
only their time to invest early in the
morning or after supper in many
cases., and few ideas as to what it
takes to make an attractive yard.
A well-kept lawn, some trees, a few
flowers, porch that is inviting-a
good place to enjoy and get acquainted
with ones family or friends, or to
read awhile-these add immeasurably
to the joy of living Their influence
in keeping the family circle intact and
contented cannot be overestimated,

A home should be more than a
house where one eats and sleeps.
The farmer complains that his chill

don't know exactly what. but it is
something they miss at home. The
fact that too few of the. country houses
and their surroundings are really at

KANSAS CONHENT
SUNDAY BASEBALL.

One or the usual things in connec-
ton with session of the Kansas leg
lslature has already happened in this
one: The introduction of numerous
petitions against Sunday baseball
without wishing to seem depraved or
is to be hoped that the usual thing
viii happen to such petitions and
measures, and that the lid for Sunday
baseball will be postponed for two
more years Besides giving the great
American game a further chance 20
please its followers, it will also leave
the preachers a great moral issue to
work on before the next session. And
this is said without a disposition to
find fault with the preachers. Sun
day is their busy day, and they could,
for the most part, handle more BUSH
ness on that day; in other wordsj they
want the men to go to church, instead
of to the ballfeId But they forget
that baseball is one of the finest,
cleanest sports the world has ever
known; that it has the largest follow
ing of any pastime, and thai many,
1t most, can take advantage of it only
on Sunday. To the man who has set
all week at a desk, or stoo6 behind q
counter or over a lathe for six days
of the week, working long hours, per
haps there are many worse ways of
spending Sunday afternoon than at
the ball park. The numerous anna
teur teams which are the best feature
of the game, their players coming
frcm shops and offices, would never
play if they didn't play on Sunday.
True, baseball game is bound to be
but it is, at least, a wholesome noise,
which is hard to say for some of the
voices raised against it.-Atchison

CH1NA's POPULATION.

Statisticians everywhere are begin
ming to doubt the stories of great
populations in China which have of
late years been constantly assumed to
be more than 400,000,000. There new
er was a census in China. A recent
calculation based on the rice tribute
places the population at 100000
and an examination of the reports of
missionaries to ascertain it's wealth
corroborates the conclusions of the
German officers who participated in
the raids of 1897. They said that
away from the rivers and canal there
was nothing but uncultivated lands,
wheelbarrow roads, huts and poverty,
and that Chinese statistics were
worthless. Truthful travellers and the
missionaries who have penetrated the
interior have been saying the same
thing ever since. When these state
ments become the accepted facts, the
great interests that have been PLAN
ming to exploit China will perhaps
again turn their attention to exploiting
the labor of civilized lands-lands
where there is something to be grab
bed.-Ottawa Republic.

Baldwin's may be profitably balanced
in the days work against the closing
of the Carnegie Trust company in New
York, with deposits of $10,000.000.
The trust company is a disaster of
the past. It's credit was shaken in
1907. It has been reorganized more
than once. Its fall was, certain when

quence of the group of Robin failures,

prosperity of the future. 1t means
work, wages and expanding business
for BaIdwin's Locomotive company
and all about it. 1t is a proof that the
great western crops have brought a
railroad like the Union Pacific, which
was economizing at every point a
year ago, to a situation where it can
begin to order equipment on large
scale.
What is true of this line is true, of
all railroads. They had their squirt
of prosperity in 1908. Various causes
cut down their profits at the end of
the first half of 1909. Their business
has increased on a great scale, and
they are again where they can place
orders for equipment in figures which
must quicken all the industries of
Pennsylvania, among which Baldwin's
is one of the largest.-Philadelp

what will mean a decided cut in various
