"Of this big production OF motor

THAT the farmer is growing more and
more a factor in our prosperity is amply
proven by reports from the farming dis
tricts. We find that the cotton crop In
the south this year will be one OF the
greatest in history. and, while in some
places crop reports are unfavorable. /
am convinced that the general prosperity
OF the farmers will not be affected to
any great degree. Crops in the Dakotas
are bad, because OF the dry weather, and
similar conditions to a lesser degree exist
In Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and
parts of Texas The farmers are buying
cars, and will continue to buy cars In
greater quantities than ever before, be-
cause their use is profitable and they
make far better living conditions In the
agricultural districts"

From time to time we read in the daily
newspapers that the doctors attribute
some new, peculiar, unusual or obstinate
disease to the motor car. Nervous dis
orders, eye. ear and face troubles have at
times been laid to the automobile, in an
effort, as claimed by some Of the papers,
to keep up to date rather 'than give the
diseases their common or old-fashioned
names
However the car owner and the pros
may now cheer up, for noted German
physician comes out with the startling
statement that the automobile has de-
cidedly favorable effects on certain nerv-
Gus disorders. such as habitual vertigo
(dizziness) and paralysis agitans."s The
latter is. perhaps. not so widely known
as dizziness" which often goes hand In
hand with joy riders and motor cars.
If the automobile really has such good
effects. the belated diner may hail taxi
and reach home much better for the ride.

years the water was used in the post

Cochituate. In the SOs, 1t Is said. as

So highly was the water thought of by
the Boston public that persons would
take jugs and demijohns to the post office
to fill them with the spring water for
homo consumption, just as in the earlier
days Boston people carried their buckets
and their pitchers from the old spring to
their homes. When the Old South build

abandoned. 1t was claimed that at that

A fair sample of the way some
persons treat the editor of their To-
cal paper is given in this letter, which
was actually received by the publish
er of a Kansas weekly:
please send me a few copies of
the paper which had the obituary and
verses about the death of my child
week or so ago. Also publish the
enclosed clipping about my niece's
marriage. And | wish you would
make local mention, if it don't cost
anything, that | have two bull calves

extra this week. AS my subscription
has run out, please stop my paper.

on newspapers"
We have had just enough expert
ence in this line to enable us to heart
lily sympathize with the Kansas edi-
tor. We happen to remember in par
ticular a case in which a man stop
ped his paper because he didn't need
it" and then felt greatly grieved a
few days later when we failed to give
column write-ups of his daughters
wedding and his mother-in-law's fu-
neral obsequies.
There are a great many who have
very peculiar idea about newspa-
pers. They seem to think that news
paper workers are air plants, need
ing neither money, clothes nor food;
that newspaper space is valueless ex-
cept as it offers them an opportunity
to get into the limelight; that money
spent on newspapers is wasted" and
that a subscription contract is one
that can be made and then broken at
their own sweet will.
And usually it is the man of this
type who sends his small son to his
neighbours back door to borrow his
paper before the latter has had time
to read it.-Fort Myers Press.

THE BAPTIST oRPHANAGE ATT
ARCADIA ~

A special from Arcadia says that
extensive preparation are being made
by the management of the Florida
Baptist Orphanage, located in that
city, to raise large contribution on
their annual work day" October 7.
Literature has been sent to every
Baptist church, Sunday school and
church society in the state, and much
interest is being manifested in the eff
fort to raise $4,000 on this day.
Many towns are planning to have a
tag day" Many Sunday schools
over the state have arranged a pro-
gram for the Sth, and in large mum
Der of the churches the pastors will
take special collections.
This work day" idea is not new,
as means to raise money for benev-
olent institutions, as it has been sue
cessfully tried out in nearly every
southern state, and is found to be a
splendid plan.
The effort requests that every indi-
vidual friend to the institution give
their earnings for the day. Quite a
pleasant act for the individual and
appeals to the sentiment of all friends
of benevolence.
The annual work day" has Melted
the Florida Baptist Orphanage a
goodly sum heretofore, and has been
SO successful that the 18th of October
is generally accepted to be the an
nual day for individual offerings to
the work.
The Florida Baptist Orphanage is
a worthy benevolence. The friends
over the state have indeed been loyal
in their support to the home, and
eight years of work has seen a Won
derful growth and development in the
work
PLANS are on foot for the erection
of other buildings needed to enlarge
their capacity for training and pre-
pairing the inmates of the home for
self-support and usefulness. So all
the money raised on the 7th is under
stood to apply on the building fund.
1t is to be hoped that the manage
ment of the home will realize their
fullest expectations, and that the
friends of the work will be liberal in
their contributions on the 7th

Of birds for sport should be stopped
Although the writer has for many

hands with the above papers. Fur.

the Star, that the killing of all birds
except predatory ones, should be
stopped by law for two or more years
In some of the northern states many
farmers are ready to shoot anyone
who is caught hunting quail on their
lands, and they consider such birds
as the farmers best friends. Let our
southern farmers post their lands and
soon quail and other birds will learn
that posted lands are their haven of
