PRoGREssIvENEss In SOUTH
Dr.. Maurice r. Egan, Minister to
Denmark, Relate His Views of the
Farmers of Dixie.

A new solution for the high cost OF
living problem has been found by Or.
Maurice Francis Egan, American min
lister to Denmark, after months
Journey through the south. Mr.. Egan
was invited to make the trip by the
Southern Commercial Congress. In
order to lecture ON farming in Dixie"
Mr.. Egan's opinion Of the farmer
Of the states he visited is not very
fattering, but he declares that they
are rapidly advancing, and In the
course OF time will be on par. In
so far as efficient conservation OF
crops is concerned. With the ruralites
of Denmark" To newspaper repre-
sentative Mr.. Egan said:
''The Danish farmers are an inte1li-
gent class of persons and devote all
their time to close study Of their soil
and how to improve its income. They
are all members OF the Cooperative
Society, which, to my mind, Is the
solution Of the high cost Of living
problem. Such a society does away
absolutely with the middleman, and
/ in addition to reducing the price OF
! the commodity to the consumer, yields
a larger profit to the producer.
Denmark is purely an agricultural
country There are no industries and
4 no minerals, therefore, the people
must turn their attention to earn their
| living by agricultural pursuits. They
4 have their choice between conserving
their SOIL and emigrating, and they
have chosen the former with all ths
patriotism worthy Of good Danes.
IAN opinion formed on my tril
may surprise the majority of you
readers, but am convinced that 1t II
a fact. believe that the farming
country Of the southern states Is NOR
adapted to the production OF butter
eggs and bacon than It Is for the rails

American farmers do not. One Mis-
sissippi farmer told me that he ha'

had not seen her since and saw her
only twice before the marriage.
Smyser testified that he made the
acquaintance of the actress while
walking along Sixth avenue, Manhat-
tan, one night. He was eighteen years
old at that time. He said he repre-
scented himself to be the son of rich
man.
The second time they met they
made an engagement for August 10.
Smyser said that the two visited sew
eral Newark cafes, and the last that
he remembers they were in Electric
park, a pleasure resort on the out
skirts Of Newark.
According to one OF the witnesses.
the young woman asked Smyser while
seated at a table:
Jack, will you marry met"
Sure, I'll marry everybody" was
the reply young Smyser was alleged
to have made.
Smyser said that he had a hazy rec
objection Of sitting In rocking chail
| in somebody's house, and that a mar
whom he did not know was standing
before him. He said that at s &. n
the next morning the girl told hin
that they had been married.

answered:

Advantage of Cooperation.

An English hotelkeeper stigmatizes
yankees" as excessively mean be-
cause no matter how wealthy they
are, they want their moneys worth
every time. In other words, Amer.
leans who do not submit to being
plucked, are mean in the eyes Of those
who are unwilling to give them their
moneys worth. Cheerfulness in addi
ton to willingness to be cheated liz
rather a startling standard to set
even for bold hotel pirates.

Better Pastures.

A little observation will prove to any
one that great change for the better
might be made in the pastures Of this
country. There are many farmers
who are not getting what they ought

Of the worst features about the pas
ture is the use which many are max
ing of the feed by feeding nothing but
moor cattle.
