nIr1InING uP THE FARM.

The address Of p. G. Holden here
Saturday was one that all farmers OF
the county should have heard. He
has been a foremost worker in get
ting the influence of the railroads
for farm Improvement. 1t is nearly
10 years since some Of the men in
charge Of the railway interests of
the country inaugurated' systematic
plaza Of encouraging the farmers adj
jacent to their transportation lines
to study more closely their soils.
t6 nultivate lands with greater care,
to acquire more information upon
the most advanced methods Of farm
ing, and through all these to pro-
duce greater crops, and thus earn
larger revenues.
The exhibits of farm products sent
Throughout the country by these far
seeing railway managers, the trains
that carried lecturers upon agricul-
tnral subjects to the stations along
the lines in order that the fairness
should be able to meet with scien-
lists and experts who had become
specialists on farming interests,
these have served to create immense
wealth for the country at large,
have benefited the farmers to a
great degree and have furnished
millions of more tons of freight to
the railways than they would other
wise have had offered them.
It was a wise and profit-produc-
ing enterprise upon the part of the
railway managers, and they deserve
the thanks of the entire people of
the country for bringing 1t to the
successful results it has already
shown.
The various state governments
and the federal government should
supplement this work on the, wide
awake railway chiefs by every means
in their power.
They can do 1t most effectively
by adopting the very plan WHICH
has succeeded so admirably under
the direction Of the railway Off
Gals.
Every township of every county in
the United States can be made to
double and treble its agricultural
productions through thorough and
careful dissemination of knowledge
OF practical farming among the
people who cultivate the soil.
No class Of instructors in any
branch Of business can do more for
1.-THE world at large nor for the peo-
pie of the United States under pres
emit conditions than can the agri-
cultural Instructors OF the states
and OF the republic in their most
important spheres Of action.
The good work has scarcely COM
menced. but It should be developed
In every direction and IFS financial
support by states and by nation
should be ample and freely and vel
carefully bestowed.

That is a fine thing W. T. Cough

That is a fine thing w. T. Cough
is doing in giving to each school
district fifty trees for the school
yard. Nothing is quite so disgrace
full to a country school district as
to allow its school house to stand
for years, as many in this county
have done, in bare square OF grass
while the homes around are orna-
mented by shade trees and shrubs.
It is time to reform and here is the
chance.

NATIONAL RANK NOTE ISSUES.

In discussing currency re-
form It is beginning to be seen
that 1t is unfair for national
banks to issue currency st all.
The government virtually pays
the, national banks interest on
their capital stock. The banks
have bonds and the bonds pay
interest. Upon these bonds
currency Is issued and in this
way the government pays ma
tional banks interest on their

SUPPORT OF 7. R. LOSES
JOB FOR HERO'S WIDOW
Mrs. Longstreet Fought for Col

GAINESVILLE, Ca. Jan. 25.-
When Colonel Roosevelt announced
himself as a candidate for the pres
idency last year one of the first per-
sons TO offer him good wishes and
assure him of support was Mrs.
Helen d. Longstreet. widow of the
famous Confederate general and
of this place.
Mrs. Longstreet had no vote to
give the Progressive candidate her.
self, but she made up for that de-
ficiency very easily. To practically
every visitor, male or female, to her
postoffice she presented strong argu-
ments in support of the colonePs
candidacy, thereby switching many
ballot over to the Progressive
ticket.
OF course word of this reached
Washington and came to the ears of
President Taft. fragrant efforts
against the administration by Fed
eral employee would be looked on
almost as treason under ordinary
and in the case OF
Mrs. I.ongstreet, in view of the
broken friendship of Taft and Roose-
welt, the sin was. regarded as par
ticularly base.
After his defeat the President did
not forget what the Southern hero's
widow had done during the campaign
and Mrs. Longstreet is now slated
for dismissal.

though each dose contains power suf-

what will please you most, is that
you will feel that your stomach and
