A PROPHECY.

Mr.. Bryan, some years ago, in one
of his addresses, said: "Destroy your
cities and they will spring up again
as if by magic; destroy your farms
and grass will grow in the streets of
of every city in the Union"
The newspapers bring the news of
the destruction and ruin of many
cities and towns in the great Euro
pean war. The small, thriving towns,
and villages, the splendid cities in the
path of the invading armies, are
RACED to the ground by shot, shell and
fire, and their inhabitants scattered
and slain. Splendid cathedrals, art
museums and agc-old institutions are
gone in n day. The work of ccntu-
ries obliterated and crushed and
smashed by shells and bombs, from
earth, sea and sky-al this is too
horrible to think of, much less de-
scribe. But more horrible, indie
scribable and unthinkablc still, if pos
sible, is the destruction and ruin of
homes and farms of Europe. AS a
material loss this is inestmablc. The
cities destroyed would "spring up
again as if by magic" but alas, the
FARMS" too, are destroyed. And,
too, not only the farms but the farm
ers, are themselves destroyed. The
pillow is rusting in the field for want
of hands to guide and power to move
it, The horses and farm animals
also, have been swallowed in the
bloody vortex. a nations greatest
assets is not its cities and ships and
museums. It's men and women arc
its hope. The boys, the schools, the
homcs-how can these be replaced ?
And all this devastation and multi
piled horrors taking place among
"the most highly civilized nations on
earth" 1t is perfectly clear now
that civilization does not necessarily
imply or include Characterization.

CUT THEM OUT.

1t is not questioned now that such
concessions" as were granted on the
Fair grounds this year for the most
part should be cut out entirely. There
could be no objection to stands offer

where articles are to be gamblcd for
and won, if at all, by mere chance or
"luck" there should he absolute pro-
hibition of such. A number of boys,
and women, too, took chances" with
number of the fakes on the grounds
and of course, lost money. One
young fellow reported in this Office
Il loss of an entire months wages.
The loss of money which is consid-
cradle is not the worst. A taste for
gambling is cultivated. "Cut 'em
out" is the opinion expressed. Also,
those fake fortune tellers." They
are humbugs and frauds entire. One
woman from West Virginia went up
against the Great Egyptian Wonder"
and lost 5000, besides the Gee" a
sleight of hand performance in max
ing change did the trick. And there
we're others. Cut 'em all out.

MIR. SLEMP'S QUEER TALK.
bristol Herald Courier.)

If Mr.. Slcmp is correctly quoted he
has been indulging in some queer
talk in some of his recent speeches.
And 1t is all due to his eager efforts
to create dissatisfaction with the
Democratic tariff.
In response to the request off the
Administration, Congress is prepar-
ing to levy war tax. This measure
is made necessary by the falling off of
imports due to the European war.
The war has stopped the wheels of in
dustry in some of the European ma
tons and those countries arc not
making large shipments to the Unit
ed States. Hence less tariff revenue
is being collected at our ports.
Mr.. Slcmp rejects this explanation
of the trouble, and in chorus with Re-
publican candidates for Congress in
other parts of the country, declares
that the Democratic tariff is the
cause of it all. In support of his con-
tcntion he cites the alleged fact that
lmpor. duties for the month of August
this year are equal to the import du-
ties for the month of August, 1913.
The reader will remcber that Pres
idcnt Wilson was indicted into Office
March 9TH, 1913; that in April he call
ed Congress in extra session to enact
the reforms promised by the Demo-
cratic party; that Congress began with
the tariff and wrstled with that prob
lem all summer; that the present
taritfif law was finally passed, and
that it went into effect early in Octo-
Der, 1913.
The present tariff law succeeded
the Payne-Aldrich law, which Mr..
Slemp helped to foist upon the coun-
try. In this law the tariff was re-
vised upward instead of downward,
in violation of Mr.. Taft's campaign
promises. That was Mr.. Taft's I'M
doing.
If the present tariff law did not go
into effect until October, 1913, the
reader will readily understand that
the Payne-Aldrich law was still in
effect in August, 1913. And if the
import duties for the month of Auu-
gust this year, under the Democrat
lc tariff law, were equal to the i'm
port duties for the month of August.
1913, under the Payne Aldrich traiff
law, it would be interesting to know
what complaint Mr.. Slemp has to
bring against the Democratic tariff
law. 1t would also be interesting to
know how he expects by such a line
of talk to convince intelligent Repub-
licans of the Ninth district that the
Democratic tariff law is running the
country.
The fact is that in normal times
the present tariff law will yield album
dant revenue, for reduction of du
ties will result in an increase of i'm
ports. But these are not normal
times, by any means. The falling off
of imports on account of the Euro
pean war makes the levying of
war tax" necessary, and it would
have been necessary had the war oc-
Cured last year while the Payne-Al-
drich law was still in effect.
In his anxiety to bring the Dem
ocratic tariff law into disreputc Mr..
Slemp has overdone the thing.

kept washed off will make an old car
out of new one in the shortest time.
The automobile people would do well
to consider this matter. Some day
the roads will be covered with a coat
of tar or some preparation which
will protect and preserve the costly
roads as well as the costly cars. The
question of road maintenance and
car preservation are closely connect
ed. To destroy both or each wan
tonly is foolish extravaganza. There
is IA problem for those most interest
cd to puzzle over.

YOUR SEED CORN.

The corn crpo of 1915 should be
better than that of 1914. Certainly
there is room for Improvement in
many of the farms of the county, cv-
en- the best of them. In even the
best fields there were many sorry
half-filled and half grown ears. and
many stalks barren, with no ear at
all. Other fields were reasonably
good so far as to the number of ears
of corn, but the chracter of the corn
was poor-more cob than corn, loose,
shallow garins and unsatisfactory
yields. No use grieving over split
milk, but there is no reason why any
one should keep on splitting the milk.
The corn crop of 1915 can be improy-
ed by planting good seed. Sorry seed
means a poor crop. What is good
seed? Which is the best variety L?
An expert judge at the fair last week
selected from number of samples
what he considered the best corn
shown. Large ears, deep grains, we'll
filed out, straight rows, ears well
shaped. If you are not growing this
kind of seed corn yourself, get it
from some one who is growing it.
Discard your old rubbing corn.
If not already selected before the
corn was cut, as it should have been,
select seed ears when shucking. A
goodgood authority says: Take only
those ears that grow on strong,
healthy stalks, stalks not too tall, and
ears formed about four teet from
the ground. The ideal ear is nearly
cylindrical in shape, tapering slight
ly from butt to tip. Rows of grain of
uniform size, straight, fitting snug-
ly on cob. The dent not too deep
and chaffy. Get the best, store j: and
preserve it carefully from rats and
don't allow it to freeze" ~A better
corn crop" is the slogan for 1915.
The first step now is the selection of
seed.

THEY SHOOT DOGS.

The newspapers give accounts of
the continued dcprcdations of sheen
killing dogs all owe rthc country.
Laws enacted, dog proof fences, moth
ing seems to avail against the marau-
ders. The best AMI latest resort is
the rifle or double barreled gun load
ed with buck "Shoot all dogs
found n the farm" is the order
which the sheep grower should give
every hand and tenant on the place.
The trouble is that these sheep-kill-
ers slip in at night time and in the
darkness, while the farmer sleeps, to
do their devilment. Shoot every dog
found roaming around on the farm or
anywhere else without its owner.
Shoot and shoot to kill. Tell nobody
about it. Bury the carcass deely
Say nothing, not even to your folks.
Load up again and be ready. If
sheep are killed sprinkle lot of medi-
cine on their bodies where they lie, in
the field, after giving due warning
to the owners of valuable dogs. There
are very few dogs in the coutry worth
their keep. If the owners are indiff-
ercnt, and do not try to keep their
dogs at home at night, particularly,
no complaint should be made when
they are shot or poisoned. Shoot ev-
cry sheep-stealer found roaming at
large and keep on shooting.
