Memorial To DR.. Knapp

A sixty day compaign has been
inaugurated to secure funds for a
suitable memorial to that great
friend Of our Southern farmers, DR..
Seaman A. Knapp, organizer and
director Of the Farmers Co.opera-
tive Demonstration Work of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
No other man in the history of
the South probable ever did as much
as DR.. Knapp to interest farmers in
better methods of farming and di-
versifcation of crops and to get
them out of their slavery to cotton.
The demonstration work and the
corn club work, developed under
his fostering care, for the first time
brought our people to see that the
South is itself In the corn belt, and
that there is no reason in nature
why our farming should be depend
ent upon a single crop.
We are glad to know that the
campaign for raising funds in this
county has now begun. A special
committee has been appointed and
several local collectors are now at
work, handsomely engraved
picture of Dr.. Knapp and some of
his sayings being given each con-
tributor, even if the amount be
only dime.
Every farmer in the county
should give something to perpetuate
the memory of this great man.

The ALARMING INCREASE OF
BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
"He died of Bright's Disease. A."

liz hASA Vi III IL HASSoSNs
Hardly week passes that this state
ment is not made in reference to some
prominent citizen.
The increasing prevalence of this dis
case makes the present time seem most
opportune for discussion in the hope that
some who are unconsciously afflicted
with this dreaded disease may receive
timely warning.
A prominent citizen residing in a
nearby town informs us that he suffered
for nearly year from Bright's Disease,
but that he recently affected a complete
cure.
"What seemed to be the first indica-
lions of the trouble" was asked.
"They seemed hardly worth noticing.
My digestion bothered me at times, my
stomach seemed out of order, and had
occasional backaches, but 1 thought it
was due to too much work"
"Did you take anythipg?"
81 did not. Later, my strength failed
me, had severe pains in the back and
noticed some irregularities of the urine,
l couldn't sleep we'll at night. I then
used some simple remedies, but without
benefit"
ibid you realize that your trouble was
Bright's Disease?"
81 never thought of such thing. FL
naily, my condition became serious. MY

pains in my joints and a weak tired feel

fence aud preying upon neighbor-
ing corn fields when food is scarce.
His built naturally adapts him to
his manner of living since he is
long legged, narrow in chest and
has a long narrow snout.
With the "hazel splitter" it is
'root hog or die" hence the long
snout and narrow body aiGs him in
getting through small fence cracks.
And If he fails to find crack large
enough to go through the fence he
can soon dig under with his long
suout.
There is no standard excellence
for tie "hazel splitter" since he
may possess almost any form except
a beautiful one. He may be of any
color. He has the reputation Of
being able to stand all kinds of
rough treatment and still survive.
He Is regarded as being able to re
sist disease better than the improved
breed of hogs.
very much doubt wheather this
quality attributed to the "hazel
splitter" is true since | have noticed
that hog cholera takes the "hazel
splitter" the same as the well bred
hog.
One thing is sure that the "hazel
splitter" can consume more valuable
feed and give less in return than
any other farm animal know Of.
A farmer who owns a herd of "ha-
eel splltters" seldom needs any other
corn crib than his hogs. He never
gets rich selling pork and in fact If
he depended upon his hogs to make
him money to buy better bred hogs
he would never own better ones.
TIE DIGNITY OF YOUR CALLING
To maintain the dignity of his
calling the farmer much begin by
respecting it and himself. This Is
only possible when be begins to see
in his farm something besides a
place where drugery may bring
bare living.
A knowledge Of the science of
agriculture places the every day
processes of farming in an altogeth-
er different light. The field then
becomes laboratory where wonder
full transmu alton /, are forever taking
place.
Intelligent experiments give zest
and interest in the mole ruggid toll
of the passing seasons. These same
experiments suitably applied may
also prove the means of lifting him
beyond the pressure of financial
strlngency. This is, in its self, a
great factor in increasing a mans
self respect. No honest man can
hold to his dignity in the face of
an overwhelming debt.
When the farmer begins to respect
himself and his farm others will
begin to respect him and it in the
same ratio. This does not mean
that he should turn braggart and
sing bis own praises in the market
place. Bat it does mean that he
should do everything in his power
to increase the appearance, produc-
tiveneSs and general qualities of his
farm.
A place that is worthy to be
called home is worthy name. 1t
deserves to be known by some def.
mite term.
People will soon learn to say
"Ceder Hill" instead of cold man
Smiths place" especially if the name
is neatly painted on bulletin board
or over the doors of the barn. 1t
seems little thing to DO to name a
farm but it is one of the greatest
possible factors in increasing the
dignity of both the place and its

A Sermon on Newspapers

the Christian church of Fairfield,
Ill, in a series of sermons on the
different trades and occupations of
life, delivered sermon on "The
Newspaper" Among the many
good things he said were:
"What am doing for it? Kick
ing because it's not blowing my
horn? But how much of myself am
| lending to the paper by speaking
a good word for it whenever | have
chance? Really, how much of
my personal influence can Its editor
depend upon? Much, or is it very
little? If | grow big cabbage |
want him to publish it, but | may
hear item after item of news about
other peoples cabbage and never
drop him line about them. Now
as he Is not almighty enough to be
in all places at the same time why
not help him by making news for
his paper? It's rather mean thing
to take everything and give nothing
back but fault finding. If we never
feed the COW how can we expect
any milk, and can we blame Bossy
if she kicks the mixer and the
bucket? All IN all | find that our
country papers are doing their very
best for every part of the country,
even hundred times more than any
of the city papers can possibly do.
"The city daily or weekly cannot
deal with those, to them, small
items, which interest close neigh
bors. But the country papers tell
us all about them and keep us post
ed in all homes matters, from the
first baby down to garden truck and
the visit Mrs. Sallle Howcomerso
made at Pitchfork Creek.
''In fact the magic of the country
paper sets far off neighbors In close
gossiping contact-just as a rail
fence between. And where can the
preacher find more willing agent
than this same country newspaper?
1t gives him free ads, for his SER
mons, lectures, etc.
"And how many times its puff has
inflated the cash balance of the
church social! And he has to pay
for his ice cream and cake besides.
"Talk about men working for
glory. Why, the only share of
glory of half the editors of country
papers is like that of the man who
saw the father of his nation afar off /.
Yes; his glory is like some of those
weird pictures of Dore. And after
he has spent an hour or SO patching
up the spelling and punctuation of
some nasty brotler'S article or letter
so as to make decent reading out of
it he feels as if he had a mouthful
of mustard and sour dock when the
said brother goes around telling ev-
cry one how the said editor has
ruined his beautiful effusion. job
bad bolls to contend with, but the
country editor has to try to satisfy
men and women afflicted with an
elongated dose of twisted conceiU.
Job prayed that his enemy might
write a book, but if / could ever
pray for tue afiliction of a man |
didn't like I'd pray that he might
be an editor of a country newspaper.
1t would keep him hot through the
day, and he wouldn't have much
sleep at night. So my heart goes
out to the country editor. May
his paid up list grow as fast as the
gourd of Jonah, only with a better
staying quality and may his days be
long in the land, and may his shad-
ow never grow less and if we can,
let us send him to congress"

night, used the long distance telephone
this morning to inform the promoters
of the match that he will be Johnny

and that he is in training so that he
can put the Albany mat artist away in
