TAKING THE FARM TO TOWN.

Perhaps no single endeavor to con-
summate the "back-to-the-farm" move
ment, which has been given much
space in almost every sort of publica-
ton during the last few years, is
likely to ultimate in greater effective
ness than that begun by the School
Garden Association, which was
launched at the San Francisco meet
ing of the National Educational AS
sociation this year. 1t is not the OBJ
ject of this organization to induce
those who moved from the farm to
the city to return, but it is probable
that it's work will have the effect OF
inducing a great number OF children
to 20 back to the farm when they
attain their majorities. This per-
suasive force will not consist OF a
bucolic existence, nor of pretty books
with colored plates picturing these
beauties. But the compelling argu
ment will be more tangible, more
realistic in every way, and will be
exercised at time when the child
: is receptive of object lessons and be
fore the Establishments of an uroar
existence have determined him upon
a life spent among brick walls, where
the struggle for existence is more
strenuous than the quiet fields and
meadows of the country.
The School Garden Association pro
poses to as nearly as possible have a
miniature garden for every pupil in
every school in every city OF the
United States. The argument justi
flying the movement becomes rather
forcefuf when it is pointed out thai
every child should have proper
amount of outdoor exercise, and that
this is especially desirable when il
will not only give exercise, but will
at the same time inculcate love OF
nature and impart knowledge of the
proper methods of planting and cult
waiting those plants and flowers mos
needful to the harmonious existence
of humanity. 1t is proposed to have
in each school with school garden
regular course of this kind include,
in it's curricula. Each child is to hav'

MORE POPULATION THAN PRO-
DUCTiON.

A New York banker offers the fol-
lowing as a partial explanation of the
high cost of living:
Probably few people appreciate
how difficult it now is to increase the
countrys production of the staple
crops to meet the requirements OF our
growing population. The cities are
growing rapidly, and the acreage IN
farms is increasing only in the far
West East of the Mississippi river
there is less land in cultivation than
ten years ago, and much OF the IN
crease west of the river during that
period has been in regions having I'M
certain rainfall or in areas made
available through irrigation"

Governor Woodrow Wilson gets on
the best one we have yet seen on the
so-called dissolution of the trusts. He
SAYS: when we see the effect OF
these dissolutions on their stocks and
bonds, a sense of gratitude suggests
that on the first moonlight night OF
the October term the trust quartet
serenade the court with:
'Hafielujah, hallelujah, thine the
glory; Hallelujah, amen.
"Hallelujah, thine the glory. Dissolve

Our farmers say, and they are sin
cere in it, that cotton is the only
money crop that can be grown in this
country. They say this and believe it
is true, and yet the physical TACT
stares them in the face every day that
more than half the money received
for the cotton crop every year goes
for feed. This feed can be grown here
with one-third the work necessary to
raise and gather a cotton crop.

why He couIdnt slt Down.

Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care Of him.
The first pair of knickerbockers we're
secured recently, and 1t was proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement Of knickerbockers,
and there was suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed, as
the little chap trudged happily along
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped of
again, Harry, you must sit down."
Grandma, can't. My pants is chok-
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be-
fore. Harry stood up during the re-
mainder of the service.

LAWS INJUSTICE MADE PLAIN
Farmers Grievance Was That Story
Once Accepted Should Not
Remain Good.

A story Is being told at the expense
OF an old English farmer who was
recently called upon to explain why
he had failed to take out license for
a favorite fox terrier dog. "'E's mob
but puppy" the defendant remarked,
In response to question as to the
animals age. "Yes, yes! So you say.
But how old is he?" "Oh, weel,
couldn' tell to Bit" was the reply,
Il never was much good at remember
Ing dates, but 'e's nobbut puppy"
On the other hand, it was maintained
that the animal in question was a
very, very old-fashioned puppy, and
the magistrate inflicted the usual fine.
Shortly afterward the farmer was met
by friend who wanted to know how
he had Jared at the police court
''Nobbut middlin'," was the reply
did they fine you?" Yes" respond
ed the victim; IAN 'ang me II l can
understand It'll Last year an the year
afore that told the same tale about
the same dog, an 1t wor allus good
enough afore! Who's been tamperin

a HOld-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association in ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas ]. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there is in existence
coffee combine which Is ''the most monstrous i'm
position in the history Of human commerce."
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement. It comes very close to being literally
true. There is coffee combine in Brazil from
which country comes the bulk Of the coffee used
In the United States, which is backed by the gov
ernment of Brazil and financed by it, which com-s
pels American consumers, as Mr.. Webb said, 'to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this is that the consum.
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced an imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon
coffee up to the full amount Of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to the treasury of Brazil. The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
s'valorization" plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses takes all of the surplus crop in season Of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from us. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed, and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con-
sumers to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
they use. What is the remedy?-Ssatt@ PostIa-

Standard statistics of the coffee trade
show falling off in sales during the last
two years OF over two hundred million
pounds. Authenticated reports from the

tremendous increase in the sale of Postum
In q like period of time.
While the sales of Postum invariably
show marked increase year over year, the
extraordinary demand for that we'll
known breakfast beverage during 1911 is
very likely due to public awakening to

outlines the plan that will be follow
ed in submitting to congress a budget
of public estimates and expenditures,
declared that "by ten years Of con-
tinuous persistent effort, the govern
ment could reduce its running ex,
penses nearly $500, 900, 900 a year.
The genera purpose of the proposed
budget which President Taft has d.
rected Secretary MacVeagh to send

to the usual annual estimates was
outlined in President Taft's public
letter September 10. .
Doctor Cleveland gave out the fol-

ton Of the commission"
1T Is proposed that the budget
should be made up Of five parts, as
follows:
"A budget message, setting forth In
brief the significant proposals.
"A summary of the statement. (The
purpose of this is to give a picture
of present financial conditions and OF
past operating results.)
"A summary Of transactions show
ing contracting and trading relations.
(The purpose of this Is to serve as an
index to the detail facts, pertaining
to economy and efficiency in making
purchases. It would show how much
the government has paid for fuel,
clothing forage stationery etc. The
supporting details concerning things
bought prices paid and the purposes
Of their use would be found in de-

would be in the nature CT a brief

administration thinks desirable to en-
able it to do business with great econ
omy and efficiency at the beginning OF

es in law dragged in as riders" in

rolling behind closed doors in a com

In Nicaragua are promised by Gen.
Juan Leets, who arrived here from
Salvador to appear before the special

American marines to suppress the re-
volt of the people Of Nicaragua
against President Diaz Is resented In
every Central American country as
an unwarranted interference in the
domestic affairs of those countries.
He declares that unless the United
States senate should take some ac-
ton to counteract the anti-American
feeling engendered by the state de-
partment's actions in the Nicaraguan
matter, a propaganda favoring a boy
colt against all commodities from the
United States will sweep every Latin
American country from the Rio
Grande to Cape Horn.

POS E KILLED IN MEXICO
About a Thousand Men Engaged In
Battle.

Eagle Pass, Texas.-Two hundred
and five men are reported killed In
a battle in which about n thousand
rebels and Federals participated at
Aura Pass, not far from Monctova,
Mexico, according to reports reaching
here.
There is no way here Of confirming
the apparently heavy death list. Seven
Federal officers were reported killed.
There were about five hundred men
on each side, the Federals being com.
manded by General Banquet. The
battle was apparently a draw. but the
rebels r~etreated in the face OF Federal
re~inforcements.

ment apparently is making no secret
of the fact that it is now negotiating
with the rebel, Zepata, for peace, &C
cording to reports to the state de-
