the largest and best herds in north

Believing that this is a matter of
great Importance that the farmers
in this section should get a start in
hogs Immediately, the ADVOCATE
will be glad to give particulars to
those who desire to procure one or
more of these pure bred animals.
No charge will be made for our

Farmers Institute.

The regular annual Farmers In
stitute is to be held in Timber Lake
on October grid and 4th, 1912, and
it is the desire of the Advocate
that every farmer tributary to
Timber Lake be present and take
an active part in the meeting.
The Farmers Institutes in South
Dakota are accomplishing an un-
told amsunt of good. Crops adj
apted to the soil conditions are be-
ing practiced, farms are being
handled in more rational and
scientific manner, more and better
live stock is being raised and
prosperity is evident on every
hand. This has been, in part, at
least, due to the efforts of the
Farmers Institutes.
The corps of lecturers will be
stronger this year than ever be-
fore. The whole United States
has been secured in order to Sc
cure the best Farmers Institute
lecturers obtainable.
Then let everybody, both coun-
try and town people. turn out and
make the Farmers Institute day
this year the gala day of the year.

GRIrMRIERS

We are all natural born grumblers.
From childhood to the grave, we look
for the few things that are wrong
and forget the many that are right.
When we are strong and healthy, we
offer no prayer OF Thanksgiving. But
let us have an ache or pain, cut
finger or sore thumb, and hear the
walls of distress.
We expect to be healthy, happy
and well. We feel that that is an
inheritance to which we are entitled.
So we think nothing of it; but how
we magnify our little troubles!
We forget that if we inherit
health, so. we may also have an In
heritance of suffering. If we have
days of sunshine, we must also have
days of storm. If we expect to en-
joy happiness, we must also antici-
pate hours of pain. If we have Joys,
we must also have sorrows.
We never voice contentment. We
always proclaim our discomfort. Hear
the cries of unrest by those who
magnify their grievances against the
present order of things. This has
much to do with the clamor in favor
of upsetting our established form of
government and trying experiments,
costly, unnecessary and in many in
stances foolish.
The grumblers are responsible for
the unreason, discomfort and unbe-
lief that so widely prevail 1t has
been so always, from ancient Bibli-
cal times to this so-called new CEN
fury of progress.

Sir James Outram, known as the
Bayard Of India, was mighty hunt
err and an accomplished swOrdsman.
He once performed the hazardous feat
Of killing a tiger with his sword and
from the back of his horse. General
Nicholson performed similar feat.
He rode round and round the tiger at
gallop, gradually narrowing the circle
until at last he was near enough to de.
liver his blow. He had only the one
blow and If he had failed would have
been slain. The explanation Of the feat
Is that the tiger does not spring upon
the horseman during the circllng proc
ess because he Is watching his opportu.
nifty. AS the circle draws closer and
closer upon him he becomes bewlldered
by the strange maneuver, so unlike
that Of any hunter he has ever encoun
tered.

The following article appeared in
the Hutchinson News of last Thurs
day morning:
Authorized to employ five hundred
men with which to break the labor
famine threatening the broom corn
raisers of Seward county, H. j. Hea-
ton of Liberal, Kansas, the largest
broom corn grower in Kansas and
perhaps in the world. came to Hutch
shown and the temperature is below
to Kansas City Wednesday morning
normal give aromatic spirits of am
inson yesterday morning and began
to organize colony of laborers to be
shipped to Seward county at once to
help save the broom corn crop. Hea-
ton was sent on his labor hunting
mission by the Seward County Broom
Corn Growers association and the
Liberal Business Mems club.
That close to a thousand men are
needed in that county now to help
save the broom corn, was the state
ment made yesterday by Heaton. He
says no farmer now has enough men
to make a full crew of harvesters,
and many have none. The farmers
are paying the top wages for men, he
says, that wages running as high as
1925 in some instances, but the pre-
vailing scale is so day with board.
Hundreds of farmers are losing
from 800 to $3.50 every day on ac-
count of not having men to gather
the broom corn" said Heaton yester-
day. "The loss is caused by the
corn ripening, which reduces the
quality of the brush. The crop is
good and the quality of brush this
year was never better
1--WE have got to get men to help
cut this broom corn. We are call
ing on Hutchinson-the one rity
that is always loyal to the farmers
of my section of the country, as we'll
as closer territory-for at least 900
men. If | can't get them here, am
going to Kansas City, Chicago, and,
in fact, l am going to keep travelling
until | get enough men to save this
valuable crop of broom corn. Upon
whether or not they can obtain
crew of broom corn hands within the
next few days depends the financial
turn of many farmers in Seward
county If they don't get them,
many farmer who has worked hard
raising this crop will go broke"
That a lack of transportation need
not keep men from these harvest
fields was the assertion made by
Heaton He says farmers will gladly
pay the transportation of anyone
who will agree to work for them,
and In addition to this, they win
pay the top wages and give the men
the best of grub" while they work.
Heaton says there is enough work in
the broom corn fields to keep nearly
thousand men busy for the next
four or five weeks.
Farmers are walking the streets
of Liberal begging for men, HeatoI
says, and are sending appeals to east
ern newspapers as well as the Kan
sas press, begging for men. This
is one time the farmers fully real

and tho Government Fell.
Many interesting side lights on a
court and the unexpected trials and
troubles incident to 1t from which re-
publics are free are given in William
Miller Golfers book Of "reminiscences
Of his days as minister to the Spanish
court, "At the Court Of His Catholic
Majesty" That a government should
fall as the result Of ribbon bestowed
for purely ceremonial purpose seems
rather absurd, but, says Mr.. Collier:
ut is historical fact that not many
years ago certain minister Of the ma,
rine In one of the European countries
resigned because the ruler Of foreign
country, on the occasion Of his visit to
its capital, gave him a certain rank In
a certain order and gave higher rank
to his colleague. the minister Of war.
The minister Of marine contended that
It was an insult to his country's navy
and the fact that he received the rank
which the rule required in such cases
and that the minister Of war had re-
ceived higher rank only because the
lower rank had been given him pre-
viously made no difference to the az
Rrieved minister.
"In his opinion his own government
In not demanding that the foreign gov
eminent give him also the higher rank
In this foreign order had permitted its
navy to be insulted, and so he resigned,
and the government fell. Thus does
the fate of nations hang not on threads,
but on ribbons"
