entitled "Can Poor Men Become Farm

the nan with a little capital can
get started in agriculture much cas-
ier than the man with no capital
precisely as in the case of other busi
neSSeS. He does not absolutely dis
courage men taking up agriculture
without any capital, however. His
article is filled with practical advice
founded on experience. In the follow
ing passage he shows how on the farm
it is necessary for man to work
harder than anywhere in ten world:
"The new farmer should refrain,
at first, from hiring much help. He
should plan to do most of the work
himself. And he must work hard
harder probably, at times, than he
ever worked before. For although
there are slack times on the farm
as in winter, when the farmers work
is easy and his hours short, or in
the early autumn, which is proverb-
tally the farmers holiday-it is not
so in the busy season. His plowing,
planting and harvesting must be be-
gun and finished each in its proper
season or result in loss; and nature,

The Democratic party will have but
one candidate for President in 1916 and
his name happens to be Woodrow Will
son." said the Vice President. He will
have the enthusiastic. unqualified and
united support Of his party. Fair
minded Democrats will recognize that he

ming rods already up may as well be
taken down and preserved for future
use; Democratic lightning will not strike
a rod in 1915"

not develop this fall He predicted that
owing to the war in Europe politics In
this country would be silent.
