THE A R o Y CREED.

A Farm Boys Creed is going the
rounds of the press; origin is unknown
but it is good stuff. It goes as fol-
lows;
: l believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
Of doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life of man. 1 believe
that work with nature is more inspi7.
ing than work with the most intricate
machinery. I believe that the dig.
nifty Of labor depends not OF what you
DO, but how you do it. that opportun.
ity comes to the boy on the farm as
often as to the boy in the city; that
life is larger and freer and happier
On the farm than in town; that my
success depends not unpon my loca
ton, but upon myself; not upon my
dreams but upon what 1 actually do:
not upon luck, but upon pluck. !
believe in working when you worl
and in playing when you play, and i,
giving and demanding a square dea
in every act Of life.

The Democrats are now seeing the
folly of the low tariff, and are begin
ming to squirm. One argument is that
there is nc reason why provisions
should rise in price in America. They
blame it to Legitimate profit taking
and speculation. But the prices seem
to go up just the same, and we rise
to ask what is to be done. No mat
ter what the cause, the Democrats
have failed to reduce the price of iv-
ing as they promised, but on the 9TH
er hand prices on nearly every COM
modify has advanced until even the
administration views the present con-
dition with alarm. They are even
sending a committee to North Dakota
to investigate the high prices of COM
modities.

The world is conquering the alcohol

Perhaps the best picture ever Of.
fered in this city will be thrown On
the Charles theatre screen next Mon
day and Tuesday, matinee and night.
Kenean Buell., who produced this pic
ture ~"The Weakling'' tells graphic
ally a story with an abundance Of
human significance, and has made it
an offering full Of merit.
The picture sets before us the tror-
bles of a youth richly endowed by na-
ture, but sorely tried by lack Of phys
ical courage until, at the end, he over.
comes the defect, winning thereby the
girl Of his choice. It makes 1t very

not to heredity but to environment.

and more sensitive, he '1s the butt Of
his elder brothef's brutality and Of

We have heard q number of men
say that the present poor crop is 81
blessing in disguise, as it will be the
means of forcing the farmers into
raising more stock and corn and in
stead of trying to raise grain for the
market they will be feeding it to
their stock and sell the finished pro-
duct. This is the right system. Ev-
cry business man and farmer should
be singing the praises of mixed farm
ing.

 WIN MAINE

PORTLAND, Me. Sept. 15.-Mayor Oakley c. Curtis. of this city, Demo crat, has been elected Governor of Maine, defeating present Gov. William IT. Halnes, Republican and candidate for reelection. by plurality that may exceed 5000.
 The indications are that all the present Congressman have been re- elected, with the possibility that Rep, resentatlve John Peters, of the Third district. has been beaten by Demo crat.
 The Progressive candidates made a neghble showing. The party was ev- erywhere a distant third.
 The election of Mayor Curtis will make him the third Democratic Gov ernor of Maine since the Civil War. The first was Gov. Hugh M Plaisted, elected in 1880; the second was his grandson. Gov. Frederick W. Plais- ted, elected in 1910.

 SLAUGHTER
 IN POLAND

LONDON, Sept. 15.-A dis patch to the Chronicle from Pc trOgrad says:
 ''The fiercest fighting of all that which preceded the Rus sian victory at Lublin was in a gorge near the village of MikO- laieff, which the Russians have named the ''Valley of Death"
 .'The gorge was fairly filled with dead men when it was abandoned by the Austrians. The dead in it numbered 15,OOO, practically all Austrians who were moved down by the Rus sian artillery while their com manding general stood on a hill and quietly watched the scene.
 ''The army, including eight standards, finally surrendered. This was more than the general could ebar, and he drew his pis- tol from its holster and shot himself through the head"

GERMANS RETREAT
 THROUGH STORM

LONDON, Sept. 15. = The Times correspondent, communicating from a point near Melum, wires a descrip- tion of the retreat of the Germans, which became a route, during hurri' cane and torrents of rain. The cores pondent says:
 "Imagine roadway filtered with guns, knapsaci:s. cartridge belts, maxims, heavy cannons-there were miles of It. And dead, those piles of horses and those stacks of men-I have seen again and again men shot so close to one another that they re- mained standing after death.
 "The retreat rolls back as trainload after trainload cf British and French are swept toward the weak points of the retreating hosts.
 "This is the advantage of the battle ground that the Allies have chosen. A network of railways like spider webs is spread over the field and as all railways center on Paris it is possible to thrust troops on the foe at any point and with almost incredible speedH

 French forces to the east of Argonne, it is said, have made retreat in that direction impOs- sible. His army, therefore, is probably moving nOrthward, it is figured here, in the hope ap- parently, of joining the other German forces along the Meg ieres St. Quentin = Peronne line.
