the world except to do, under
cOmpulsiOn, its rough work.
The male man is supposed to
be the strong man; and it is
singular that woman, supposed Il
be the weaker vessel, is, when
not spoiled by luxury, the will
ing worker of the race. Let there
be a fight or an alarm of fire
or an accident in any city, and a
crowd will gather at once. They
seem to rise up out of the
ground; but it is a male crowd
The women are at work. They
are busy, and not watching for
happenings outside. Possibly
when we get equal suffrage and
female independence, they may
settle conclusions with some of
these MASTERS or wastrels, men
without a vision. Let us hope
so.
How will a man get a vision?
What vision is before the farm
boy? If his parents teach him
that farming is drudgery, a mat
ter Of luck or accident, that their
lives have been lives of drudgery
the boy is not very apt to get a
vision. But the boy who can
take an acre of his fathers land,
plant it with good seed corn,
cultivate it by the best methods,
and see an increase of ten to
fifteen bushels per acre over that
treated in the common way, that
boy will get a vision of the pos
slbllities that lie before him. To
do this he will have to read and
study and observe. If he does
this, he will get a vision, and will
not be merely a newer of wood
and a drawer of water. If in
early youth he gets a vision of
a home of his own, a wife and
family of his own to love and
cherish and protect, that boy
will get along.
If the girl gets a vision of a
well-ordered home, a husband
to protect her, a family to love
and serve, and is willing to work
for them, there is no trouble
about her. But if either gets

farm life or in home life; if they

Ignorance compels us
to pay a heavy tax and bear
greater burdens than the ear

Therefore, we say to every
farm boy and every farm girl:

everything in it or on it save
your fellowman. If you are to
find life worth living, you must
be better, much better, than the

sPELLACY IS DEFEATED
With Fifty Delegates instructed for
 Baldwin and Like Number for
 Mahan, a Hot Contest Is Predicted for the City Convention Tonight. i

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 3.-In one of the closest democratic caucuses in the history of the city 50 delegates were, tonight elected. to the city convention, instructed to vote for Gov. Simeon B. Baldwin for the United States sena- torship. and 50 delegates were chosen, instructed for Congressman Bryan F. Mahan of New London. The ticket headed by Mayor J. H. Lawler, which is pledged to Governor Baldwin, actu- ally defeated the ticket headed by ex- Senator Thomas J. Spellacy by, 23 votes: but each side elected 10 dele gates from each of the five wards. The total vote cast was 3,549. which. Is 59.T per cent of the registration
 How the Wards Were Divided.
 The Lawler forces carried the first third. fourth, ninth and tenth wards, while. Spellacy carried the second, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth wards The spellacy delegates are also for for governor. Both factions are said to be agreed upon Congressman Au- gustine Lonergan for a renomination.
 City Convention Tonight.
 Although the delegates elected to- night were on tickets for either Gov ernor Baldwin or Congressman Mahan, both sides claim some of the delegates elected on the opposite tickets. This indicates a spirited contest at the city convention tomorrow night. If the delegates do not change, it means a split delegation to the state conven- tion.
 There was also a split vote tonight in the second senatorial district, which means a contest for the position of state central committeeman held by Charles J. Dillon.

TURKEY DECLINES REQUEST OF UNITED STATES
For Permission to Send North Caro- lima Through DardanelIes, Saying They Are Mined.

Washington, Sept. S.-Turkey has declined to grant the request of the United States for permission to send the cruiser North Carolina through the Dardanelles to Constantinople. to de- liver S150,000 in gold deposited here for the relief of Americans in the Otto man empire.
 The grand visier has informed the American government that the waters of the Dardanelles had been mined and that it would be unsafe for a ves- sel as large as the North Carolina to go through the straits. He suggested that the American naval yacht Scor- pion on duty constantly in Turkish waters be sent to sea to meet the North Carolina.
 This was the substance of a long cablegram received at the state de- partment today from Ambassador Nor ganthau, the first message from him in several days. He made no mention of any declarations of war. but re- ferred to the diplomatic situation as highly critical.
