A Good Word for
the Farmer.

1t has been truly said that without the farmer the
world could not live With all of his weary toll and sacr
fees the world does not give him the great credit he
justly deserves.
1t does seem that with many farmers in the United
States there could be better markets and less speculation
Although many Alliances and Unions have been formed
to help the small farmer there yet large work to be
done by these organizations We believe that the time
has come to put farming and farm products a better
basistO place the farmer the pinnacle of a better and
larger independence AS it is now very few farmers can
say that they independent for the gripping peculatOr

Sunshine and Work.

The last few days of good sunshine have made the

putting in time and dirt has been turned in the
last weeks than any month this year Many farmers
hrve planted and very few have fooled with the un
known quantity-cOttOn. Although more of it will be
planted than expected 1t seems that the farmers are
turning and more food products and as the United
States must feed herself and other nations this year is
very commemorate undertaking From indications now
it does that the market be gutted with grain

The Weather.

The weather gets it in the neck every day-really
gets more cussng and more praise than any thing under
the sun.
Conversation begins and ends with sghs regrets and
boosts about the weather 1t raned much OF too little
the sun shined too hot or hot enough So it goes
every day What would we do without the weather to
pave the way-tO get talk going?
Therefore as the weather has been SO good for the
past two weeks The Hummer desires give due notice
Did you ever see leaves grow any faster green stuff
grow greener in the last few days 1t is said that all
leaves must be fully developed by May first and now it
looks as if the event will come true About two weeks
ago. right after small morning shower, the whole cOun
try jumped into the greenet green and in the shortest
time we have ever observed in the spring of the year.
We began with the weather and end with the

Get Together.

In some localities there seems to be dislike between
the people on the farms and the people IN the towns inns
should not be for is justas dependent as the olneh
Each needs the other more than trade Neither one
is better physically OF morally than the other. Both
should boost each other and we believe better feeling
would be in evidence All town people are not tHcksters
or sharpers and all farming people not oaers and
'fgnoramuses EVERYBODY will admit there are lew Of
all kinds in both the town and country but we are happy
to say that the day of such dOngs rapidly passing INTO
better spirit of neghborly boosting and render assoca
tons Each man has a duty to perfOrm-One OF those
duties is TO live right and your conscience will tell you
every time Get together for gOod-or Chickasaw county

Bonds and Petitions.

Did you say Never Again" right after signing
petition or going bond for some friend That is
generally the expressOn-but very few stick their re-
solution
Petitions galore circulate over the country and if a
signs Of them he makes enemies and he doesn't
he makes just that many he does not 90 on a
bond for he ncurs enmy and many times when
he does put his to it he gets STUCK good and hard
So it is almost impossible to get around this method of
bonds and petitions Somebody do these things but
geewhillikens don't you wish it the other fellows
job to fork Over?
When man fails to live up to his bond you can be
sure that the bondsmen will puncture the air with several
choice vocabuac ventures that maybe sounds something
like Well old pal you certainly did US great favor how
can we ever repay you?"

Who Pays the Price.
ner Of the world

To kill human being is bad but to kill thousands
because Of the hack politicians passions cannot grasp
its awfulness and shuddeHngy wonder what God thinks
about it
Who pays the price of the slaughter? viii the
throned monarchs squirm in the birthstone of hell or
Oyully walk the golden streets oGod? What is the value
OF human life Think Of the mothers who suffered the
pangs Of birth and the anxietes Of motherhood Can
human life be estimated in cost? Where is the
glory and the honor Of war?
Who pays the price but the MOTHERS OF MEN?

GREAT WAR WILL NOT BANKRUPT ANY
 EUROPEAN COUNTRY
Says Great Remarkable In dustrial Activity Will Fol
 low Titanic Conflict.

Paris, Dec. 8.-The answer of Paul Leroy Beaulieu,- the French econo-
 mist, to the question twill Europe be plunged into bankruptcy because of the war; is '<No," not even Ger many''
 Concerning the result of the present enormous spending of money by all rThe- nations and the conditions follow ing the war, he forecasts the end of the war a year hence and after it's end
 a remarkable industrial activity with
 an international commercial rivalry leading to high tariffs in all the na,- tions now at war, including free trade England, and yet higher tariffs in the United States He said: While such a situation has never before presented itself in history and while therefore all opin- ions must be given with some reserve,
 am confident that no fear need be felt for 8 universal collapse of world finances. The destruction in this war,
 save. possibly in the lives lost, has
 been exaggerated in the public mind.
 Not<a single nation involved will be ir-
 retrievabIy ruined The enduring
 power of accumulated wealth has been
 underestimated. It will take not more
 than ten or twelve years for the world to recover from it's losses.
 t'I estimate that the war will have
 come to 9, close by next autumn. Then tn ere will set in a period of manufac- | have never known. This period has been made necessary by the physical
 damage done, by the diversion to war supplies of factories once engaged in
 making cloth, and what not. During
 this reconstruction period we will work harder than formerly. There I;wi1r not be the 4stagnation which par aly1ed the Southern States after the Civil war.
 mother result of the war will be the increasing takes by each nation in vo1ved and the raising of tariffs to collect revenues. England will do like the rest, free-trade country though she is, and despite her comparatively less war loss The United States,
 while it will not have to, will increase
 her tariffs. Although Germany is suffering far more than any of the othef nations, since she is fighting them all, and spending huge sums, will mot be totally ruined by the war. as It will, however take her longer to re- cover.
 Naturally, after a couple of years of intensive manufacturing, the na-
 tions will have caught up with their
 old supplies, will have replenished their depleted stocks of manufactured slowing down in industrial activity.
 'The United States is profiting, in a comparative sknse, by the war, but
 it is a mistake to say she is benefit ted by it. No losses can be sustained by her best customers without her feeling this loss"

FRED,K. PALMER TO LECTURE
 AT PARK STREET CHURCH

When, year or more ago, Lord Kitchener decided that only one war
 correspondent from neutral countries, and that an American, should be al lowed at the front with the British forces in France the corps of news paper men in London met and agreed to choose one man who would send
 his dispatches to the four big tele- graph news agencies in New York to be distributed by them to, practically all the newspapers in the whole Unit ed States This unique honor fell to Frederick Pa1naer, whD had come to Eirope as a magazine writer Palmer, with possibly a single exception, is the best known of all the men who make the reporting of war profession
 The Mems league of Park Street
 church feels therefore that they have been especially fortunate in securing
 MT. Palmer to give his splendid 1ec- ture,, Pack From the Trenches, as the first of the three entertainments in their course. He is to come Thurs day of next week. Dec. 16- His lee ture will be illustrated with both still and motion pictures taken by himself in the war zone, and his descriptions
 of what he has seen and heard will be of thrilling interest.
