Agriculture is volume to itself and
has literature of its own. Modern
methods are gradually making the
yields larger. Historically, this has
been brought about by the course of
events. From colonial days, after the
question of labor was settled by the
introduction of "blackamores' by the
thrifty shipowners of the New Eng

a position if his own. Land was cas-

asked to be shown to a milk dairy.
Some one pointed out a low building

asked the milk man." who was dress

1.-The Progressive Party and Its Place
In Our National Life''
BY FRANK A. MUNSEY


This article is splendid analytical sidelight on
the complex national situation which eliminated in
the Progressive Party. It's worth your while.
The question of progressNeism," Mr. Munsey
says, lis by no means all that is involved in this
new party 1t has distinct work to do in giving to
the people of this country better politics, cleaner
politics, free from boss rule.
1T has distinct work to do, as only new party
do, in squaring itself to the needs of the hour
and to the needs of the future unhampered by party
traditions and by the sinister influences which, to
greater or less extent possess an old party Indeed
it is question how many decades party can sur

influences of bossism and special interests and
