BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES

leaves so sympathetically that the pine
leaves felt worse than ever
SO all night long the pine leaves
fretted and sighed and begged the
wind to take them for a sail
And all night long the wind answer
ed back NO, we can't take you--you
are needed where you are!"
In the morning some people who
lived nearby went walking under the
pines and one said This is the poor
old pine tree that has been whining
and irett;ng all night"
Il wonder what it wants" said the
other person. II wish it was happy,
for l love its leaves that stay green
after the Others have blown away"
whats that; what's that?" whis-
pered the pine leaves, Somebody
loves us even If we are just common
green all the year through"
Think how lonesome those kind
people would be- whispered another
pine leaf, IF we had gone off and lett
our pine tree all alone!"
And every stiff little pine leaf bris-
tied erectly and shone happily in the
morning sunshine

MORE AND BETTER FARMING.

In speech delivered before the
Turner's Falls board of trade, Prof
IIurd of the Massachusetts Agricultural
college spoke upon farm bureaus and
county agricultural agents. He as
sured his audience that there was an
interest being taken in
agriculture all over the land, by the
people Of the cities as we'll as by those
Of the rural districts, an akening
that was accounted for by the fact
that we were approaching limitations
which not many years ago seemed so
far away as to make any provisions
for meeting them unnecessary. There
lis no more land to be exploited;
our margin of surplus products is con
.stantlv narrower, and unless we depart
from the old methods we are nearing a
point when the problem of feeding our
own people will by no means be sim
pie one. The latest attempt to meet
the conditions and help to solve these
problems all over the country, he said,
was through the organization Of farm
! bureaus and the employment Of trained
Iageuts, really efficient men who would
demonstrate the best agricultural prac-
tees and carry the latest scientific in
formation from the colleges, the United
States department OF agriculture and
| other agencies direct to the farmer.
The cost of maintaining farm bu
reau and county agent for n year i,
from four TO five thousand dollars
which he would have met by a thous
and dollars from the farmers, about
as much from the agricultural depart
ment and the remainder from the coun
ty commissioners, commercial organiza
lions and small subscribers. The Ques
ton is, what would farm bureau IN
der expert direction mean in the way
of benefits to farming communities
1.-THE answer is an increased production
Idue to better methods, n lower COS
drought about by saving in fertilizer
and other requirements of the business
and probably increased prices for pro
duets owing to a better understandin;
of what the market requires and tn
best way to meet that requirement.

There are 100000 Belgian refugees
in Holland and the Dutch do not wish
to assume the burden of caring for so
many during the coming winter. They
want them to 90 home to their own
country where there is even less to eat
than in Holland. Belgium is to all in
tents and purposes today a possession
of the German nation. They admin
lister the laws there and take the peo-
pie 5 money. But they are not feeding
the people and the people are cold and
hungry. Germany has so far been I'M
willing that other people should feed
the Belgians. The United States can
not give a loaf of bread to a German
soldier without violating its neutrality
Ialthough individuals of this country
can give what they like to Germans
or to Belgians if they can get the sup
plies to them. With this intense suf-
fering at the edge Of winter, what tale
there must be from stricken Belgium
before another harvest.

college and Governor A. NJ. Fletcher
relative to the resignation of Mr.,
Thomas as a member of the state board

where matters of state policy are in

dation to the educational commission

be your desire to reorganize the pres

| ton To this Governor Fletcher
! frankly replied: ''In compliance with
the spirit of the very kind and thought

MOTHER PRINDLE' DEAD.
Friend of Unfortunate Women Wa
a Former Vermonter.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20. -- Mrs Almira
Prindle, who for 40 years has been af-
fectionately called "Mother Prindle, -
because OF her efforts to rescue I'M
fortunate women, died yesterday at
40 Park place, Brooklyn, from acute
indigestion.
1t was in the '70's that Mrs.
Prindle left the mountains of Vermont,
where she was a member of a large
Quaker family, to undertake the work
to which she devoted her life Among
the cities which have known her best
since that time are Buffalo. Little
Rock. Ark. Philadelphia, Watertown
Mass, and Newark, Ohio. She co-ope

was for seven or eight years matron OF
the Crittendon Home in this city.
| Mother Prindle continued active Wort
until as recently as last summer, de
spite the fact that she was 5 years oil
age.

The Philippine independence bill, which
has passed the house of representatives, is
the embodiment of the anti-imperial senti-
ment which the Democrats expressed on
the stump before they got into power, as
well as in their Baltimore platform. 1t
does not grant independence, but talks
about it. There are to be two vetoes for
every legislative act of the Filipinos, one
by the governor whom we are to select,
and one by the President of the United
States This is a very safe bill, and it
may satisfy the Filipino politicians who
want more power, but we doubt it. The
anti-imperialists of the United States will
be easier to satisfy, and this bin may do it
The bill viii come before the senate when
! it meets again in December, and it should
1 be easy to pass this bill.

George Bernard Shaw drops his
ironical mood long enough to make a
prophecy worth clipping and FASTING
for a future reference. Says Shaw:
This war Of nations makes the Unit
ed States all-impOrtant. When peace
comes, it will not be arranged by col
Onels sitting around n drum. Instead
there must be a world conference, with
the President of the United States in
the chair. To that conference England
will, of course, come bleating But
when France has lost the eight billions
loaned to Russia, when the Gar s gov
eminent is bankrupt, when English
credit is desperately shaken and Ger
man industries are wrecked, the United
| Americans will be the leaders of to-
morrow For Europe must now breed
| from the men of the last reserve.
The United States does not gloat at
the opportunity ahead. No American
feels anything but sorrow and indigna
ton at the world 5 tragedy now being
enacted. But the rewards of peace are
honorable, and in them may yet shine
the great example to the future genera
ton.
The figures of gold production in this
country for 1913 show a decline from the
previous year The figures from Alask;
show similar decline, and the monthly
: figures of the Rand mines in Africa show
the same tendency. Gold production is de
: clining everywhere. 1t isn't because MAJ
E does not want gold as much as ever, bu
; because the costs of digging it out hav'
= risen to the point where the least profit
able mines are being forced out of produc
ton. Alaska produced 10 millions of gol
last year and is third among the states
California still leads in gold production
and Nevada in silver production. Col
production, which never needed to b
: greater, will continue to decline until tn
cost of mining is reduced.
