The happiest man in the land
today is the successful farmer.
He sits under his own vine and
fig tree. undisturbed by the mad
deding noise of the great city.
Banks fail, railroads 20 into the
hands of the receivers. booming
towns collapse, business stagnates
but the wise farmer can snap
his fingers at these things. He
is the monarch Of all he surveys
on his broad acres.

The farmers have just as much
to do in building up and improv-
ing their town as do the citizens
of the town. 1t is to their inter-
est to have up-to-date merchants,
machinists and mechanics. How
can they expect these conven-
fences if they send to all the large
cities for merchandise that should
be bought of the home dealer ?

Az the Progressive has chang

get in right with the editor by
paying all back subscriptions and
renewing for year. The paper
is only one dollar per year pay
able in advance. No new sub

amount accompanies the order.
Look at the date on your paper

The Teter building which wa S
was one of the handsomest in
this section surely is an eye-sore
to the citizens of the city. Since
we have been here we have had
several strangers to ask us why
it remained unoccupied. Of
course we gave them the reason
because the insurance people
have it in for Belington.

ENCOURAGING MATRIMONY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10
Representative France proved him
self true matrimonial agent when in
the committee on public lands In the
house he moved the passage of bill
that if enacted into law will permit
homestead entryman and home
stead entrywoman to marry after
each shall have resided upon the re-
spective homesteads for a period of
not less than one year.
The bill was favorably reported,
and Mr.. French declares that there
is no reason why it should not pass.
Mr.. French says: II don't believe
the government ought to charge a
homestead to a person under the cir
cumstances, who wants to get mar
ried. Within a week case of this
kind has come to my attention and
unless this bill can pass, either the
couple will need to postpone their
marriage for year or so, or one of
the parties will need to surrender
his homestead entry. Other similar
cases are occurring from time to time
and it strikes me that matrimonv
ought to be encouraged"

NOT SO BAD
(Goodwin's Weekly

We have a pessimistic friend who
sees little ahead for our country, but
disaster and sorrow. He insists that
society is drawing apart; that the
rich are drawing to themselves much
more than their share of the
country's wealth; that the poor see
this and are already banding together
for protection, which will soon ad-
vance into plumber, and that the sit
uation gives us all to see how the
French revolution was begotten and
the bloody harvest that followed.
We confess there is much cause
for apprehension, the very worst fea-
ture being the springing up of such
multitudes of men who in simulated
sympathy for the poor are spreading
discomfort and hostility to order and
law In the land.
Still our faith is mistaken in the
ultimate triumph of the right.
We believe that special design
was formed in the creation of our
republic; that though its beginning
was in sorrow; though many sorrows
have come to it since, and though
many more sorrows are to be suf-
fered; as from each proceeding great
trial the great republic has emerged
stronger, so it will be in the future,
because the world needs our country
for a beacon and ballast, until the
time shall eventually come when SO
exalted will be our flag, that it will
shine out symbol of peace and
strength to all the world.
But the people have grown to de-
pend too much upon the government,
to think, If not to say: LET the
government cure the evils"
That is not the right thought.
Were our country to become involved
in a war with some strong foreign
power, or should the present discon-
tent eliminate in a civil war, each
state each city would be called upon
to furnish men and means to restore
order and peace.
There are few malignant diseases
which science has found means to
prevent If not to cure.
Why should not each state and
city begin the work of prevention,
rather than to fail to battle with a

disease which might be fatal?

disease which might be fatal?
How much is Utah and this city her
capital, looking to the condition of
the people?
What authority Is there that can
change the condition of the poor peo-
pie in this city? There should be a
patrol for every block who should
report to some central authority
every week the conditions of the
poor, the possibility of some places
harboring criminals, how many earn
est men are unable to obtain employ
ment, what women whose home pri-
vations and sorrow are calculated to
drive them into crime. With that
done there should be means of re-
lieving real distress and supplying
labor to those who want to work and
can find nothing to do.
The above is but an outline 1t
might cost some money but it would
cost far less than a war. And with
that done in every city and state
there would never be any war unless
it came from abroad.
Were that the rule in both state
and city our land would soon be ex-
allied in the eyes of all the world.
There are thousand other things
to be done. The schools should be
more practical and more patriotism
should be taught in them.
Generally speaking every American
should be impressed with conviction
that it is duty to be a perfect citizen
with all that perfect citizenship i'm
plies.

general, ancient or modern, ever did
anything that established for the doer
a more acute brain; more superb
tenacity of purpose; steadier patti
ence more undisturbed soul in
the midst of unparalleled difficulties;
a more splendid triumph than Grant
achieved there.
When the war was over, there were
thousands in the north who believed
that Sherman was greater soldier
than Grant. Sherman himself settled
that in an instant when he said: IT
was never in a close place that I did
not know that Grant was thinking of
me-"
Without disparaging any other
soldier it is fair to say that the silent
Grant never struck a foe in the war
that the foe was not either shattered,
annihilated or taken in. 1t was 80
at Fort Henry, at Donelson, at Shiloh,
at Vicksburg, at Chattanooga and
though 1t took him little longer, 1t
was the same way east of the Allie
ghanies.
He went down into the very shadow
of death in the battle of the Wilder
ness, but in the early morning next
day he was moving by the left flank
he never relinquished his hold until
all opposition was silenced.

TREES FOR WINDBREAKS
What to Choose for Planting i'm Dry
Land Territory

BY c. S. Harrison, York, Nebraska.
If you want drouth-resistant trees
or shrubs for a windbreak in semi
arid territory, or where dry-land
farming is practiced, choose either
Russian olive. the bull or ponderosa
pine, the silver tamarisk or the sand
cherry. Make your Enclosure 100
feet square and set the plants about
two feet apart; you will need about
200 plants. Draw a straight furrow
around the plant. 1t would save
sparding if you put your clevis up
and let the pillow down as deeply as
you can get it.
Never set plants or trees on a ridge
in dry region but always in de-
preston. If your furrow is dry,
water it or water the holes in which
you set your trees. Don't let the fur
row dry out. Set the trees at least
six inches deeper than they were in
the nursery. 1t is we'll to dip them
in a puddle of mud before planting
as that keeps them from drying while
you handle them.
In planting stamp the ground solid
around them. Don't put all the fur
row back at first. BY leaving the fur
row partly filled, you will catch the
rain. If your plants are set on a
ridge, of course the water runs off.
If the trees are given the best of care,
well MANFRED and cultivated, in
year or two you will have a good
compact windbreak.
Hardest of the Evergreens
The bull or ponderosa pine is far
the hardies of all evergreens. Once
established, l have never known one
to fail You had better get young
trees about two years old. Put them
in pen foot high to keep the wind
from cutting them. Plant in rows &
foot apart and six inches in the row.
Let them grow two years and then
put them where you want them to
stand. They will be we'll rooted N
two years. Plant little deeper than
in the nursery, press the earth solid
about them and see that they have
water the first year.
Most persons plant evergreens that
are too large. Suppose you send 200
or 800 miles for them and they are
in dry and windy time. No
matter how careful you are, you
stand a chance of losing them. But
if you have them on your own ground
you can take moist and cloudy day
for it.
The Russian olive is grown from
seeds, but it is better to get one-year
trees which will cost about SIS
hundred. The silver tamarisk has a
soft silver foliage and twigs lined with
delicate pink blooms. They cost
about $40 a hundred for plants IL
to Is inches high. There are many
kinds of .tamarisks. We have dis
carded all except the silver variety
which also is called the Siberian, the
and odesiana. They are
all one and the same thing. Any of
these shrubs will make a good wind
break.
