Delay Not unexpected.

Washington, January 1.-When the
chester left Vera Cruz on Tuesday,
Navy Department officials said she
should reach Ship Island at midnight
tonight under normal conditions. un-
less an attempt was made for record
run. Consequently, in spite of the an
nouncement by the cruisers captain
that he proposed to steam across the
CUR in little more than twenty four
hours. no surprise was expressed here
to-day when no word OF the Chester's
arrival was forthcoming.
1t is said no effort was made to com
municate with the vessel by wireless
until tonight, when rumors reached
Washington that the Chester had been
delayed by fog or had met with an ac-

 Care should he given to the corn also, that it has plenty of room. Do not plant too thick.
 The farm garden should not be overlooked. It is one of the greatest assets on the farm, as we'll as one of the greatest con- forts in farm life. The garden should have the greatest of care. It pays better than any other part of the farm. Plant a good variety of vegetables, so there will be something for the table all through the season. If you can possibly do so, buy a small canning outfit, and let the moth- CT and daughters can the sur- plus vegetables. It will be the means of saving many dollars. The outfit can be had for S10.

est foundation for a good crop is good preparation of the land. The work put in on the land in getting it ready for planting is not wasted, but will produce good results in the growing of the crop.
 The land should be we'll broK- en, to a depth as great as last years breaking, or an inch deep CT. The disk harrow should be used where the soil is suitable, and the clods should be broken. A clod breaker or roller should be on every farm. The clods in a field are not only annoying, but they represent just that much useless soil, so far as the growing of the crop is concern ed. They add no plant food and retain no moisture that is avail able to the crop.
 In planting cotton there is of ten a grave mistake made ln planting too thick. The cotton plant is a sun plant. It needs warmth and sunshine. In it's early life it is one of the most delicate plants, and in it's ma- ture stage it is one of the strong est and hardest of plants. The cotton plant being so small and delicate in it's early life causes the farmer to hesitate to thin the stalks out enough. To do so makes the ground look so bare. It would be better if the farmer would keep in mind the strong sturdy stalks that were in his field at picking time, and give enough distance between rows and plants to grow the strong sturdy stalks altogether. It is a mistake to crowd your cotton. You can raise more stalks that way, but fewer bolls and smaller bolls. Be governed by your soil in fixing the width of the rows and chopping to a stand. Give

But, what sense is there in talking
about and groaning over conditions
of 40 or so years ago, anyway? Mans
views of God, government, the world
and man himself have undergone rad
ical changes since Judge Cullen was
young. In the past half-century there
has been more change, not to say
progress, in mems thought and ac-
ton than in any similar period in the
earth's history. The fellow who would
have human affairs as they were so
years ago is a thousand years old
and over and he must stand aside.
Even the principle of personal rights
has aged, somewhat, and we begin to
define it as that which is best for all,
a sacrifice of individual rights or ad-
vantages for the common brother
hood. At all events, man is arrayed
against monopolization of rights by
classes and only the especially favor
ed and the aged fear what he will
finally accomplish. R. Paine.

Permit me to quote from one who
has put more mental dynamite in

man. Bernard Shaw says, There is
no harder scientific fact in the world
than the fact that belief can be pro-

soning and even in defiance of both,
by the simple desire to believe found
ed on strong interest in believing"
