Boon to

Ignatius Tootle, the renowned au-
thority on floral life, who lives near
the quiet village of Yankee Springs,
is at the present time trying to out
burbank Burbank, the wiz, by grow
ing a rectangular watermelon. Mr..
Tootle has noticed for years that ulti-
mate consumers have had much trou-
bic trying to carry watermelons from
the store, inasmuch as they (the wa
~termelons} are Of awkward shape and
quite slippery, and after a watermelon
has fallen and has hit the cement side
walk it's usefulness may be said to be
over. Mr.. Tootle's watermelon will
be long and will have square corners,
one Of which corners will fit into the
bent elbow when the melon is carried
on the inside Of the arm. Mr.. Tootle
expects to have his new melon grow
ing and on the market by 1927, if moth
ing happens.-Boston Globe.

REAL LIFE IN THE COUNTRY
Fact Is Shown by Mans E%aaerness to
Escape From Congestion Of
the Crowded City.

Why is it that railway magnates,
presidents of banks and heads Of great
enterprises who must perforce do
business in cities, almost all try to
have homes on farms in the country,
where they develop soils, plant crops
and breed animals? 1t is because there
is wearisome monotony in piled up
brick and stone. There is confusion
in crowded streets and changing troll
ley cars and hot smoky railways.
These things mar has made, and they
are needful, but they are not life, much
as the farm boy may imagine them to
be.
Life is in the open country. Life is
in the growing grass, the waving fields
OF wheat, the springing corn. Life is
in the trees and birds, life is in the
developing animals Of the farm.
Any nan who works with the land,
who feeds a field and watches the re-
suit, gains a real fundamental know
ledge Of the underlying foundation on
which rests all our civilization. 1t
makes him a sober man, a thoughtful
man, a reverent man, and II he expert
ments wisely a hopeful optimist. Life
is where things are born and live and
grow. On the farm Is real life.-Breed-
er's Gazette.

The American Farmer.

All things recalled, wouldn't it be
the part of craftsmanship to do con-
occasionally for the American farmer?
He's one-fourth of your population,
and the nations best hope. The
American merchant borrows at five
per cent. The American stock gam
bier, producing nothing, accomplish
ing nothing, a merest leech living by
the toll Of others, borrows for even
less. The American farmer, with all
that can be said to his good and solv-
ent advantage, must and does pay 8M
per cent.
And all the time the savings and
postal banks are bullying with billions.
If the government would make two
blades of grass grow where but n
has grown beforehand publicly it
would pay-the wide-fung chance lies
open. Let it model action on French
or German lines, and place the farmer
on a borrowing par with the merchant,
the manufacturer and the stock job
Der. Let it evolve a system of farm
loans which shall put those savings
and postal bank billions at a pei cent
within the farmers borrowing reach.

The Way Of Progress.

A dog barking at a passing automo-
bile is generally supposed to be as tell
ing a symbol Of futile objection to the
march Of progress as could well be
imagined. In almost the same category,
however, belongs the strike of the
st%evedores in New Orleans against the
introduction Of the electric truck to
transport freight between vessels and
warehouses. The wonder is that this
improvement has been SO long delayed
instead OF only now appearing-and
then as a source Of a new labor diff
Guilty. One cannot have much SYM
pathy for opposition in this particular
instance. The motor vehicle in all Of
it's forms has come to stay, and the

Probably the only people to benefit

Chihuahua. Feb. 16.-A review Of the
artillery corps, with its so field pieces
and rapid fire guns. with which General
Villa expects to accomplish much
against the federal army at Torreon,
presented a brilliant spectacle here to-
day. The parade ground was thronged
with visitors. Bands played and the
people cheered for Carranza, for Villa
and for the "martyred Madero" The
guns will be loaded on trains tomor-
row and will be sent south by Tues
day night or Wednesday morning un-
der the command Of Col. Servin.
According to Col. Servin's latest in
formation, he is superior to the federals
in artillery, which at first will be used
to shell the outworks in the hills south
and west Of Torreon. Some Of the guns
will be mounted on steel coal cars This
scheme has been a favorite one in
the revolutions Of the last three years,
and will be particularly valuable in and
about Torreon where there is q web of
