The Irae American Spirit

When Thomas jefferson deliver

come classic, aud which, if | had
my way about it, every child in
America should commit to memory
as a literary exercise, he said inter
ALA: "We are all federalists; we
are all republicans" If be were
here now yolciug the same senti-
menL with our changed political
nomenclature, he would say: "We
are all republicans; we are all
democrats" What he meant was
that on the great fundamental pril-
ciples of free government we are
agreed. When we come to devise
ways and means to promote the pub
lie welfare we differ, and upon these
differences ere built political parties
in this republic which we all adore.
The chief end Of every political
party should be To- increase the safe
ty, prosperity and glory Of Ameri
ca. In a country whose instltu-
tiGns are bottomed on a popular suf.
frage, every man owes a part of his
time, his energies and his talents to
the service of the state. In the
preservation of our free institutions
every citizen should do a mans
part, for in them every citizen has a
stake, particularly if he has child

Oakland Farm Notes

Get into the habit of winter plow-
ing and you will find the method
less laborlous and better blowing.
Set into the habltof winter plow
ing and you will find the method
less laborious and better paying.
A farmer may be thrifty and
successful man and yet do no fall
plowing; but Judging from my own
experience, | would say that when
spring time comes, every farmer
who did q lot Of blowing in the
winter will be very glad he has got
that much done. For many reasons
that may exist in the spring plow
ing may be made pretty late and Of
ten a man is obliged to plant less
land in spring crops than he want
ed to plant, because he could not
break enough land. There are
springs one after another when it
rained so much and kept wet so long
that the farmers are obliged to plant
less corn and spring crops, simply
because he cannot plow as much
land as he wanted to. So d is ba.'
TO make a rule to plow as much as
you can in the winter. admit that
IN the old times before the disc har
rows and other disc tools bad come
into use, we sometimes had very
hard work and put in lot Of time
in getting fall plowed land in real
ly good condition for planting.
But with the disc harrows TO cut
up the old tall sods, even though
the grass has begun to grow in the
spaces between the turned slices, l
find that | can put the ground in
perfect condition, even though it
was plowed as early as October
And in this connection it is worth
while to mention that narrowing
fall plowed land with a disc har-
row is not nearly so hard on the
horses as it Is TO run the disc or
harrow over fresh spring plowed
land.
1t also seems to me that it is easi-
er on the team to plow in the fall
than IN the spring. a good team
that has come through the summer
work IN good shape, will be in
prime condition to do the best
blowing. While on the contrary,
| know of horses tc have very sore
shoulders and disposed to run down
in flesh if they have to plow very
steadily in the spring. | am sure

bringing to you some of the things
Mr.. Purkins mentioned. The first
Of these is the religious discussions,
in which he mentions the evils, such
as bloodshed and wreck of homes.
Oh, how foolshly some of us think!
How we gasp at shadows for the

work Of Satan rather than OF God.
Yet some try to lead us up to such
'srot' and proclaim it an example of
good in The church. l can not ac,
count for such stand, by sane
man of our times, unless 1t is the
influence of athletics. Also he tells
the need of modern education, in
order that we may think correctly
of this progressive age. What is
modern education? What are the
texts studied? If you had been
keeping up with me you would have
an idea of modern education. The
great themes of the times are on
foot ball, basket ball, base ball and
track. Spaulding furnishes most of
the text books. My friends what
business could you carry on with

starving. Both soldiers and nom

only of rice and water. All the

have been seized by the Turkish

the Christians to be postponed
to the last desperate gasp.
To add to the privations of the
