MASSIVE TRUCK
 BRUSHES LADS ARM

Thomas Corrigan, who lives with a widowed mother at I'll Calhoun street, narrowly escaped death this morning g as he was violently thrown from a bi- cycle beneath a swiftly moving motor truck of the Wheeler & Howe Coal Co.,, said to weigh between eight and ten tons. The double tired rear wheels of the vehicle passed comp mpIetely over the boys right arm, splinter1ng the bone. 2 A fraction of a foot to the right of where he lay the massive wheels would have ground the vital spark from his breast.
 Corrigan was proceeding down Mid- dIe street, and was approaching Gold street, when an aged farmer, driving a. one horse market wagon suddenly swerved his horse throwing the youth from his wheel The large truck was immediately beside the boy and he landed under: the truck beneath the front and rear wheels. Witnesses stated that he slid far enough under the car to escape the wheels, but his right arm projecting it was dattened beneath the rubber fanges. Removed in the city ambulance to the ener gency hospital. Dr. Frederick Hale ap- piled splints and transferred the case to the Bridgeport hospital fos an K ray examination and further obServa- ton

HOW IT WAS 70 YEARS AGO.

HOW IT WAS 70 YEARS AGO. Editor Of the Farmer, Sir:
 In my boyhoO6 10 to F years of age there was q man, Winton, by name, from the town of EaSton, Conn.,, who made his weekly rounds distributing the only two weekly papers, Bridge port Farmer and New Haven Register, to his regular subscribers living with in a circuit of thirty n1iles-New Fair rode in a two wheeled one horse shay and carried his newspapers in a box not longer than fifteen inches, twelve inches wide and twelve inches high with a, lid. This was in 1850 and onward. He always stopped at my grandfather's Samuel T. Barnun. who was a subscriber to the Farmer. He sometimes stopped overnight at my grandfa ther's, but usually at Alvah Balls Pond. It was quite in con t~se< wit: ti1e times of this day in all respects. News was a scarce article. Foreign news was a month old, be- fore we got it and would have been stale very stale in this day. What q wonderful advance has been made since then. The present generation can scarcely imagine the state of things existing over eighty years ago. 1t would create a cataclysm in busi- ness and society. Deprivation of the telephone would demoralize business so completely that we would not know where we are. The telegraph on land and under oceans puts us in daily and hourly communication with the whole world, and Ariel is discounted in forty minutes.

PUBLIC OPINION
GOING OUT PARTY.
To the Editor of The Farmer:

10 the Ed1tOr of The Farmer:
 Sir-Five or six years ago a writ CT to The Farmer stated that G. O. P really meant Going Out Party! He in timated that the end of the Grand Old Party was certain and close at hand. Two years ago Congressman Hill claimed to be ignorant as to who his opponent-Lynn Wilson-was. But he found out the day after election when the returns rela ted how the said Hill lost 10000 votes to the unknown :? Wilson.
 After IS years in Congress Mr Hill is now around before the factory work CTS trying to answer the question:
 If it, took you IS years to do not dnss how long will it take you to do suntings?''
 Protection appears to be some thing great for our infant industries as the great trusts used to be called but it ain't so good for the "hands'' that work in the actories.
 The Bridgeport Trust company col 1ects rents from about 4,O0o tenants. Ehe Loewith company collects rents from about 2,500 tenants. Other real estate firms are in the rent collecting business. It is quite evident that all these thousands of tenants do not own their own homes. No party can take from them what they do not possess q real home. These rented homes are being broken up every day because of on-payment of rent What is ''pro- tection'' doing to help the corset iron CTS down at Warmers shop?

A Thanksgiving

Deepest Thanksgiving ! do give,
Because | didn't chance to live
In what they call the good old days
OF homely fare and simple ways,
like the days that we have now,
Instead of broom and churn and
plow;
| like to have q bed with springs,
And telephones and vacuum things.
Those good old times so praised
In song!
How did the women get along?
No ridge or suffrage or bead bags,
No motor cars or gladsome rags!
I'm very glad "old-fashioned cheer
viii not be offeed me this year; &.
No squash or pumpkin pie for me-

can't see how they lived at all
without a cafe or music hall;
Oh, earnestly | do thanksgive
That our times are not primitivel

A BUSINESS EDUCATION

In conversation recently with a
representative of the Remington
Typewriter Company, he stated that
in several OF the High schools he had
succeeded in getting incorporated
into their system of education for
students, courses in Shorthand and
Typewriting. He mentioned several
of the towns in Southwest Kansas,
which have adopted such measures,
and stated that Scott City has been
giving such training for four years.
Here is one of the most reasonable
and progressive ideas for Business
college at Liberal 1t is so logical
and practical, that the installation OF
such a course would be an adver-
tising factor for the town, that we
cannot afford to overlook, without

of towns having such courses, and

This typewriter Company has
made the plan so inexpensive, that it
is highly attractive to school boards,
and patrons. The instructor in short
hand might be separate teacher for
the purpose, or some one among the
many stenographers of Liberal might
be employed for 'part-time" plan.
There is competent help of this kind
among u.s.
This matter is worthy of the at
tention of every patron of the Liberal
schools, and can be established. 1t
means very much } pupils whose
parents could i'll afford to send chill
dren to Hutchinson or some other
place, and this course could be ac-
quired so easily in the four years
course Of study, that it should have
every consideration, and its large
benefit could not be questioned. 1t

The High Cost Of Lining,

We heard a man on the street the
other day lambasting the government
and everything else because the costt
OF living was high He said he had
a family of five children and he Jqet
Couldn't nrpylde for them, ne
harped a great deal on the high cost
Of meat. He talked more ABOUT meat
than anything else. We agreed with
him on everything, We always do
agree with a man who " bigger than
we are But we we're certainly as
tonished shortly afterwards when we
heard him ask the drayman II there
was barrel of beer at the depot Tor
him. The draynrau said that ne
thought not, whereupon the other
said. THAT beats thunder, | ordered
II fye days ago. Heretofore 1t al
ways came through in two days.
He left us and as he did so he TOOK
a ten-cent cigar from his pocket and
pnffed away on it. About an hour
after that we saw him In the drug
store eating an ice cream soda. II
beats all about this high cost Of Nv
ing. It's really the cost Of high NV
ing that's hurting, Altoona Fri.

The Melancholy Days

The melancholy days have come,
OF which the poet sings,
The days of wooden underwear
And other solemn things.
The leaves have fallen from the trees,
The sumac's lost its hue;
The turkeys being fattened, for
Thanksgivin's almost due.
The ducks and geese hike overhead,
Forsaking marsh and lake;
The frost is on the pumpkin and
The buckwheat's in the cake.
A purple haze Is on the hill,
And in the valleys eke
The furnace gobbles up the coal;
The water pipes all leak,
The gaSman dreams OF bigger bills,
The butchers prices soar;
The football fiend is in the field
In quest of human gore.
The melancholy days have come.
OF which the poet sings,
Of wailing winds and cloudy skies
And other mournful things.
