SUCCESSFUL MEN
THOMAS ALyA EDISON

"Nfy own experience" says Edison, us
that If you get something for nothing, you
may be sure you are on the wrong road.
II you get the result without strenuous
effort, there is only one rule. apparently,
to follow, and that is to cast 1t aside and
begin all over again." And to accomplish
what he has 1t has been necessary for
him to practice what he breaches. All Of
his life he has been strenuous not only
with his head but with his hand.
As a newsboy at twelve, Telegraph
operator at fifteen, and then an inventor,
he attributes all of his great achieve
ments to his unceasing labor. The car
bonized, bamboo which finally made the
incandescent electric light a success, was
the result of years of research and ex-
perimenting with other materials.
The phonograph was perfected at
equally as great an expenditure of labor.
To the uninitiated his great workshop
and laboratory in East Orange, N. j., the
greatest In the world, is temple OF mys-
terry, where magieians turn everything
into gold, but to Edison it Is simply
place Of work.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERs

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di.
rection of cultured, clean and com
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at.
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character. so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around 1t and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

PAYROLL Of
CIVILIZATION MET
BY FARMER.
WANTS NO "DEADHEADS" ON
LIST OF EMPLOYEES.
A CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS
TO PREVENT USELESS TAX
UPON AGRICULTURE.
BY Peter Radford
7 ect,Irer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer is the paymaster of
industry and as such he must meet
the nations payroll. When industry
pays it's bill it must make sight
draft upon agriculture for the amount,
which the farmer is compelled to
HONOR without protest. This check
drawn upon agriculture may travel to
and fro over the highways of COM
merce; may build cities: girdle the
globe with bands of steel; may search
hidden treasures in the earth or
traverse the skies, but in the end 1t
will rest upon the soil. No dollar
will remain suspended in midair4, it.is
as certain to seek the earth's surface
as an apple that falls from tree
When farmer buys plow he pays
the man who mined the metal. the
woodman who felled the tree. the
manufacturer who assembled the raw
material and shaped it into an ar
ticle of usefulness, the railroad that
transported it and the dealer who
sold him the goods He pays the
wages of labor and capital employed
IN the transaction as well as pays
for the tools. machinery, buildings.
etc, used i'm Nthe construction of the
commodity and the same applies to
all articles of use and diet Of him.
self and those engaged in the sub
sidiary lines of industry.
There Is no payroll In civilization
that does not rest upon the back
of the farmer. He must pay the bills
all of them.
The total value of the nations
annual agricultural products is around
$12,000,000,000, and it is safe to esti-
mate that 95 cents on every dollar
goes to meeting the expenses of sub
sidiary industries. The farmer does
not work more than thirty minutes
per day for himself; the remaining
thirteen hours of the days toll he
devotes to meeting the payroll of the
hired hands of agriculture, such as
the manufacturer, railroad, CONNER
cial and other servants.
The Farmers Payroll and How He
Meets II.
The annual payroll of agriculture
approximates $l2,000,000,000. A por-
tion of the amount is shifted to for
eign countries in exports, but the
total payroll of industries working for
the farmer divides substantially as
follows: Railroads, $1,252,O00, 900;
manufacturers. $4,365, 100000; mining.
$685., 100000; banks, $200,000,00O;
mercantile $500, ,O0O, 600, and heavy
miscellaneous payroll constitutes the
remainder.

NATIONS LABOR
PROBLEM
OVER A MILLION AND A HALF
WOMEN WORK AS FARM HANDS
IN THE UNITED STATES.
BY Peter Radford

Lecturer Natlonal Farmers Uhioh
Our government never faced so Il e.
mendoas a problem as that now lying
dormant at the doors Of congress and
the legislatures, and which, when
aroused, will shake this nation from
center to circumference, and make
civilization hide its face in shame.
That problem is-women in the field.
The last federal census reports
show we now have 1,514,000 women
working in the field, most of them
south OF the Mason and Dixon line.
There were approximately a million
negro slaves working in the fields
when liberated by the emancipation
proclamation. We have freed our
slaves and our women have taken
their places in bondage. We have
broken the shackles off the negroes
and welded them upon our daughters.
The chaln-Gang Of Civilization.
A million women in bondage in the
southern fields form the chain-gang OF
civilization - the Industrial tragedy
of the age. There is no overseer quite
SO cruel as that of unrestrained greed,
no whip that stings like the lash OF
suborned destiny, and no auctioneer's
block quite so revolving as that of or
ganized avarice.
The president of the United States
was recently Iauded by the press, and
yery properly so, for suggesting medi'
alton between the engineers and rail-
| road managers in adjusting their
schedule of time and pay. The engi
neers threatened to strike II their
wages were not increased from ap'
proximately ten to eleven dollars pei
! day and service reduced from ten to
eight hours and similar readtust

women are working in the field, many

cents per day. and their schedule is

ing over their problems, and to whom

to those who toll at the forge and be-
hind the counter, and many of our
statesmen have smiled at the threats
and have famed the flame of unrest
among industrial laborers. But WON

industrial warfare as they are the
burden-bearers in the war between ma
tions, and those who arbitrate and
mediate the differences between capt.
tai and labor should not forget that
when the expenses of any industry are
unnecessarily increased. society foots
the bill by drafting new consignment
of women from the home to the field.
Pinch no Crumb From Women's Crust
OF Bread.
No financial award can be made
we commend to those who accept the
responsibility of the distribution OF in
dustrial justice, the still small voice of
TIE woman in the field as she pleads
for mercy, and we beg that they pinch
no crumb from her crust OF bread or
put another patch upon her ragged
garments.
We beg that they listen to the
scream of horror from the eagle on
every American dollar that Is wrung
from the brow of toiling women and
hear the Goddess of Justice hiss at
verdict that increases the want OF
woman to satisfy the greed OF man.
The women behind the counter and
in the factory cry aloud for sympathy
and the press thunders out in their
defense and the pulpit pleads for
mercy, but how about the woman In
the field? Will not these powerful
exponents of human rights turn their
talent, energies and influence to her
relief? Will the Goddess of Liberty
enthroned at Washington hold the cal
loused hand and soothe the feverish
brow of her sex who sows and reaps
the nations harvest or will she permit
the male of the species to shove
women-weak and weary-from the
bread-line Of industry to the back al
leys Of poverty?

OYSTER SUPER.

If any in Johnson City
Think the Williams Bible class
Can't cook and screw a supper
That in cooking may surpass
The common hotels and restaurants
Then last Friday night
They ought to had that supper
That soon went out Of sight.
A crowd of handsome gentlemen
Sat down that night at eight
To handsome tables finely set
And walters up to date
With stew and oysters fried
The best ever got
Pickles, crackers and butter
And coffee rich and hot.
1 ate two bowls of oyster stew
And a good man by my side
Had such a gentell appetite
Hhe couldn't eat his fried
And SO I cleared the plate for him
The best I ever ate.
In fifty years and pom my soul
seem to taste them yet.
Six different kinds or sandwiches
And eloquence on toast
Side dishes of hot orators
We got with many roast
If all those funny fellows
Who keep US laughing yet
Could joke like that for nothing
What could they do on a bet
If any we'll bred gentlemen
A peasant hour would pass
Come in and hear Gilbreath
Talk to his Bible class
He'll give you gospel feast
And the men who gather there
You'll find as good society
AS you can get anywhere.
1t pays to be religious
In more good ways than one
You'll get more friends on earth
And when this life is done
Then join the ransomed Bibel class
While endless'eyes roll
That the peace and joy of the Lord
May be the feast Of the soul.

an increase in the expenses of in
dustry without due regard for the men

lash of be it enacted" goad him on
to pull and surge at the traces of civil
ization, no matter how he may sweat,

legislatures "cut a melon" for labor
they hand the farmer lemon.
The farmers Of the United States
are not financially able to carry dead
heads ON their payrolls. Our own
hired. hands are not paid unless we
have something for them to do and
we are not willing to carry the hired
help of dependent industries unless
there is work for them. We must
therefore insist upon the most rigid
economy.
Legislative House. Cleaning Needed.
While the war Is on and there is a
lull in business, we want all legisla-
tive bodies to take an inventory of
the statute books and wipe off all
extravagant and useless laws. A good
house-cleaning is needed and econo-
mics can be instituted here and there
that will patch the clothes of INDECENT
children, rest tired mothers and lift
mortgages from despondent homes
Unnecessary workmen taken off and
useless expenses chopped down all
along the line will add to the pros
perity OF the farmer and encourage
him in his mighty effort to feed and
clothe the world
If any of these industries have sur
plus employees we can use them on
the farm. We have no regular
schedule of wages. but we pay good
farm hands on an average of $l.50
per day of thirteen hours when they
board themselves; work usually runs
about nine months of the year and the
three months dead time, they can do
the chores for their board. II they
prefer 10 farm on their own account,
there are more than 100000, 900
acres of idle land on the earth's sur
face awaiting the magic touch OF the
plow The compensation is easily OBJ
tainable from Federal Agricultural
Department statistics. The total
average annual sales of farm in
the continental United States amounts
to $4,000; the cost of operation is
$4,000; leaving the farmer $176 per
annum to live on and educate his
family
There is no occasion for the legis-
latures making a position for surplus
employees of industry Let them come
back to the soil' and share with us
the prosperity of the farm.

the fee system for few years
