the southern states. as these were
considered to have a greater ecoLJm-
ical need for 1t. Also the general ed
ucation board of New York city offer
ed to help out the work in the south
In order to remedy bad agricultural
conditions, and this board has ma
terially aided in inaugurating clubs
to interest boys and girls in growing
corn, tomatoes and cotton.
In the mean time an urgent demand
arose in the northern and western
states for similar cooperative work
for young people. The successful
club work in the south furnished an
impetus for nationwide work and
the youth of the north and west have
taken up the national club work with
much enthusiasm. In the cooperative
arrangement with the southern states.
each state had leader in charge of
the club work whose expenses were
paid. half by the department and half
by the local organizations interested
The demands OF the north and west
have been so urgent that eight states
are now waiting 10 pay half the ex-
penses Of this club work. but the de-
partment Of agriculture has not at
present the funds to furnish the other
half. However, the work is continu-
ally being pushed into new territory
as the funds become available.
The individuals and local organiza-
lions throughout the north and west
have been most enthusiastic regarding
the work of the boys and girls. Sena-
tors and representatives sometimes
aid the work by generous contribu.
tions Last year Ave congressman
from Illinois alone each furnished sue

men from the New England states,

East India seems to have inspired
many of the elaborate and novel head
dresses which are being displayed in
anticipation of the opera season. But
no matter what their source. the new
head-dresses are dazzling. Many of
them are so large they might be
classed as crownless hats. 1t is not

worn even among the ultra fashion

1t was addressed to ar. arc Mrs.
Roy ID. Lee of Pueblo, who were here

he hung it up over his desk That

Then some one told him he was in

another address on it and forwarded
1t after the happy couple.
One motto said: May all the
troubles be little ones" Another said:

card asked the clerk. in the event he
could not deliver the postcard, TO re-

would undoubtedly be their stopping

The card had thirty-four stamps on

Massachusetts TO grow potatoes. and
there are now $4,000 young people en-

Will Have Hard Row to Hoe.

Speaking of the decision of the
Senate subcommittee to defer to the
demands of President Wilson and
place cattle and grain on the free
list, the Brooklyn Times says:
Naturally enough there will be
strenuous objection to this new fea-
ture of the Tariff bill by the farmers
of the States bordering on Canada.
The free importation of live stock
and other agricultural products, which
was provided for in the scheme Of
reciprocity engineered by the Taft
administration, was one of the most
unpopular features of Mr.. Tafts ad-
ministration, and the presentation of
the issue in the border States did
much to help Col. Roosevelt's fight
for delegates.
OF course, Mr.. Wilson has still
three and half years in the White
House in which to demonstrate the
wisdom of his judgement, but the
Congressman who will be compelled
to vote for Free-Trade in agricultur-
al products with Canada, while ex-
acting no reciprocal benefits from the
Dominion, will have their own sins
to answer for i'm the election of 1914.
The Senate does not face this diff
Guilty to such an. extent, although a
successor TO Root is to be elected
next year in New York, and the Dem
ocrat who endorses Canadian Free
Trade minus reciprocity will have a
hard row to hoe in Northern New
York. a... - .......
The monstrous blunder of subject
ing American farmers to Free-Trade
competition, while retaining Protec-
ton for the manufacturers, cost the
Republican party the presidency and
both houses of Congress and gave
the country Free-Trade government
The Democratic party participated in
that blunder, for it was only by the
aid of Democratic votes that the Ca
madam Agreement bill was passed in
both House and Senate. The Demo-
cratic party escaped punishment for
that act of gross injustice to Amer
lean farmers merely because of Roose-
welt. Now, however, the Democrats
propose to take upon themselves the
entire responsibility for Free-Trade
in farm products. They will, in con-
sequence, have a hard row to hoe,
senators as well as representatives,
i'm more sections of the country than
Northern New York. 1t is true, as
the Jersey City Journal ingenuously
observes, that 1.-The farmers are not
majority" but it is also true that
no political party which gains the ill
will of seven million farmers can ev-
or hope to remain in favor.
