Farming the Farmer Again.

II must strike the observer as little in
congruous that congress OF farmers, gathered
for the purpose of considering matters of eco
nomic Importance. should devote the greater
part OF day to debate purely political and
partisan in its nature. While the purport OF the
resolution offered contains nothing any one
could particularly object TO, the obtrusion of an
acrimonious discussion indicates that the con-
vention Is apt to swerve from its prime purpose.
Interested politicians not likely to give over
their practice OF farming the farmer, and so it
is up to those here assembled, who seriously
intent on doing something of service to agricul-
ture. to assert themselves and put an end to the
antics OF chronic objecters and interested dis
turbers. 1t will not be hard for the convention
to fill all it's time with debates Of topics vitality
important to the farmer, and on which definite
action should be taken here. For example. the
subject of rural credits might be given a great
deal OF attention without being finally disposed
Of and other easily suggested subjects of
much greater Importance TO the farmer right
now than mere political pyrotechnics.

Long Distance wireless Telephony.

Another wonder has been transferred from
The laboratory to the busy world OF affairs, the
wireless telephone being the latest addition to
the list Of accomplished facts. test talk across
the wide continent has demonstrated the feast
bility of the device end its sdaptability is now
only a question OF detail The possibility OF
this achievement has long been known to cleo
trical engineers, who have patiently studied and
finally mastered the problems involved till the
wonder is now complete. Man is still mystified
by the mechanism OF the telephone In daily use,
but the wzardry OF the wires is now surpassed
by the magic OF the wireless. and the voice is
carried over limitless space by waves Of energy
in obedience TO laws simple in their statement,
but majestic beyond comprehension in their APP
plicatlon. II is another step forward in mans
subjugation Of natures forces The light OF the
electric age is becoming brighter, and as the
imagination leaps forward under its influence,
the ambition tolls TO achieve. newer uses being
found for this primal energy. until no dream OF
its service seems unreasonable. America will
have quite list OF useful things to offer Europe
when the savants of the old world turn their
attention from destruction to construction and
not the least will be the wireless telephone.

Merely Looming Goods.

NORTH LIoUP. Neb., Sept. 9O.-To tbs
Editor of The Bee; There Is a genera
discussion OF the allied powers borrowing
N.OOO,OOoOOO from the people of the United
States. WIN the loan cause a financial
stringency. and win there be an economic
disturbance because OF making that loan?
l will say no.
France is good for loan OF 5000. 900, OOe
Great Britain is good for s.. 900. 100000. and
Russia Is good for 10000 10000. They
do not want gold. They want goods.
Suppose we would deny the credit to
them. They would be compelled to un-
lock their gold reserves and ship the
gold to the western world in huge guam
titles. That influx of gold TO the United
States would very soon cause an infla-
ton OF prices in every commodity. Horses
would soon sell for twice their present
value. All other commercial conditions
would follow the upward trend OF prices.
When the war would close, those prices
would fall to their former level. causing
a panic for years 70 come. Should we
unbalance our economic conditioner Bet
ter. by far. give them the credit than
undo the present range OF prices.

ALEXANDRIA. Neb., Sept. 29-To the
Editor OF The Bee: BILLY" Sundays
preaching and platform performance
have occasioned many criticisms from
lawyers. local editors. politicians, saloon
keepers, farmers, professional knockers
and even preachers. One can not help
but observe the manner in which these
endeavor TO air up their knowledge OF
the teaching Of the meek and lowly Naz-
arene. IL passes my comprehension how
certain people use Him for an authority
on vital issues. but do not exemplify His
principle in their daily life. Many OF
these critics make awful plumbers in
quoting Christ. thus manifesting a lack
OF accurate knowledge OF His teaching.
In my opinion, n proper understanding
of the New Testament Scripture will re-
veal TO billy" Sundays critics that the
Nszarene did not only preach the Gospel
of peace, love, truth and righteousness,
but lie also preached with equal en-
phasis the Gospel OF repentance. hell and
damnation
wish to cali attention particularly to
His accommodation Of lawyers in Luke ii:
46-4. Woe unto you lawyers, for ye
load men with burdens grievous 20 be
borne, and We yourselves, touch not the
burdens with your fingers. Woe unto you
lawyers. for you took away the key OF
knowledge; We entered not in yourselves
and them that were entering. ye hin
dered."
These few lines are not written in
defense of MIR. Sunday; he is plenty able
to defend himself. However, they are
written for the purpose of throwing a
little light upon the teaching of Christ,
from which so many writers and glibly-
tongued orators are supposed to quote.

Easy TO Open Gate.

A simple device for the operation Of
the heavy ana cumbersome barnyard
gate is that OF attaching a wheel to
the free or swinging end In many
instances farm gates are so long that
the ordinary hinge is not strong enough
to support the entire weight, and it
is necessary to allow the free end to
rest on the ground The use OF a
wheel makes it unnecessary to lift
the gate when it is desired to open
or close it.
