Mr.. j. S. Cobb, representative Of
the Department of Agriculture, has
given us the following items of in
terest to farmers, being nineteen
facts and sentiments taught by Dr..
S. A. Knapp, the father Of the Farm
ers' Cooperative Demonstration
Work of the Department of AgricUl~
ture.
No /. The primary purpose Of
the Farmers Cooperative Demon
StratiOn Work is to better the con-
dition of the Southern Farmer, and
its ultimate end is the general i'm,
provement of Southern rural con-
iitiOns.
No. 2. The opportunity OF the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstra.
ton Work was brought about by
wrong system of agriculture and
business methods in the South, ae-
eravated by the coming of the Mex"
lean boil weevil.
No. 3. The general policy of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work is to cooperate with every
force having for its purpose the GEN.
eral uplift of humanity.
No. 4. Efforts having for their
purpose the general uplift of human"
ity to accomplish the greatest meas
ure of good must begin at the bot
tom and work up. That was Christs
plan.
No. ). In the betterment of rural
conditions the first step is to teach
the individual farmer to increase
his earning capacity
No. 6. There can be but little
permanent improvement in a rur3
c immunity as long as the earning
capacity Of the individuals compose
ing it is no greater than the cost Of
necessary food and clothing.
No. T. 1t takes resources to build
and maintain high civilization

No. 10. Agriculture is not a

FOLIAGE SCREENS.

One phase of city beautiful pro-
paganda which deserves more at
tention than it receives is the utility
of the foliage screen. More eyesores
can be eliminated from sight by
means of the foliage screen than in
any other way.
These screens could be used to
advantage in screening off railroad
tracks such as the Monon and Erie
which traverse the residential dis
tricts of the city.
In the business districts climbing
vines can be used to advantage TO
screen off bare walls. Mrs C. c..
Smith has made her surroundings on
State street where she lives more
beautiful by utilizing vines to hide
the bare walls of nearby building.
1t would be a good idea for people
to make a study of the question of
the utilization of foliage screens.
They will find that they will make
life worth living in Hammond.

WHY THEY GO TO INDIANA.

1t is pleasing to see the Calumet
region grow even if of late most of
the gain has been in the shape of big
industrial developments on the Indi-
ana side of the state line
There are several reasons why in
dustries prefer to locate In the
Hoosier state. In the first place the
legislature there has passed favor
able laws and has maintained a
friendly attitude toward employers
of labor. This viewpoint is also
reflected in the county and NUM-
cipal governments of Indiana.
For instance, when a few streets
in name only, never used, never
recognized and not needed, are
sought to be vacated to enable an in
dustry to acquire a large undivided
tract, in Indiana the authorities do
not hold up the property owners for
large sums for compensation" In
Indiana the state freely grants sub
merged land to factories along the
shore of Lake Michigan The former
condition is held to be the reason
why the Baldwin Locomotive Works
did not locate north of Lake Calumet
lnear an unlimited labor market; the
latter has freely been stated as the
reason for the existence of the city
Iof Gary.
But these are not the only advan-
tages that Indiana holds out to pros

THE USELESS MAN.

In the state of pure savagery no
man depended upon others.
Today these is scarcely one man
in ten millions who does not depend
definitely upon the service of others
for part of his sustenance. In re-
turn it is necessary for him to repay
in kind.
The art of serving others has be-
come the science of existence.
Sometimes this service is direct
and personal. In other cases a man
renders it by becoming part of a vast
industrial machine. But always II
is ennobling.
1t is only when a man attempts to
reap where he has not sown that lie
becomes parasite-and to be a
parasite is to be criminal, whether
the unearned has come through iu-
heritance of burglary.
To have the right to eat you must
earn your food, and this means serv-
ice given in exchange to those who
serve you.
To earn bread by the sweat of the
brow is not only necessary; it is
magnificent. 1t is the badge oil
civilization for men and nations are
progressive only in proportion a:

There is no surer death-sentence
to civilization and commercial enter
prise than warm climate where
men may live without effort; and
to revert quickly to the baboon AM

Property in Indiana harbor and
vicinity is made attractive for indus

ments costing millions. Before Uncle
Sam had promised assistance the
Hoosier boosters built canals and
perfected plans for a grea develop

is now being dredged through Lake
George which will become Writings

Unless the opportunities for wat

region are improved at once by the
city with its 100000 bond issue
now available, it is likely that the

not in accord with the rules adopted
by the state central committee. The
mass convention is called to meet in a
room with a capacity of three hum

and Republican voters In vigo county.
Other counties of the Fifth district
are protesting against the plan. which,

vention can be held in counties which
have cities of more than five thousand
