SAFETY FIRST

Ex-congressman Martin Little ton tells the story of a railway that was built thru an obscure part of the West, where no rail- road had ever had the hardihood to venture before. On the day the first engine ran over the line with its train, the engineer, on pull ing out from a small railway station, discovered that a cOun- try boy was riding a horse be- tween the rails short distance ahead.
 The engineer sounded his whistle again and again, but the rider only lashed his horse into a gallop, and made no effort to turn off into the farm lands that flanked the right of way. At the end of a mile-long chase, the engine was so close upon the laboring horse that the cow catcher almost touched his heels. The pestered engineer leaned out his cab window end yelled:
 You idiot Why don't you get off the trackY'
 Over his shoulder the fright ened youth flung back a desper- ate retort:: Nav, sir! Elf ever you git me out wander on that thar pIowed ground you'll ketch me in a minute!"

Third, those who never advertise their business. Fourth, those who distrust public spirited men Fifth, those who show nc hospitality to any one. Sixth, those who hate to see others make money. Seventh, those who oppose every movement that doesn't originate with themselves. Eighth. those who put on long faces when q stran- ger speaks of locating in your town. Ninth. those who oppose every public enterprise which does not appear of personal bene- lit to themselves.

Uncle Jud on How toAdvertise

Some folks who mean all right would open wide their eyes if you should tell 'em that they don't know how to advertise. They think that with success their efforts surely will be crowned if they employ small boys to throw their printed handbills round: the handbills litter up the porch; are swept into the dust, and seldom get inside the homes to be read and discussed; it's just waste to throw them out broadcast into the street for the same amount of money one could advertise in the home sheet; the ad would reach the women folks, for they're the ones who buy, and they're lookin' out for bargains; looking out with eagle eye. Other merchants waste their money paintin' signs on barns and trees, and disfguring the landscape with announcements such as these: Go to Murphy'S $ for your school books. Bradley's drug store leads 'em all. Pat ronize the one price clothier! Buy your feed of Smith X Hall, y Why not be a bit progressive; boost your town and do your part: and patronize the paper with your interests at heart Thus. you not only get results, but help the paper build a pros porous community with happy merchants filled.

Are You Educated?

A professor of the University of Chicago has evolved series of test questions for the educat- ed which, he avows, are the best evidences of a real education. If you can answer yes" to all the questions you are truly edu cated, the professor says. Here are the questions:
 Has education given you sym pathy with all the good causes and made you espouse them?
 Has it made you public spirit ed?
 Has it made you brother to the weak?
 Have you learned how to make friends and keep them?
 Do you know what it is to be friend yourself,
 Can you look an honest man or pure woman in the eye?
 Do you see anything to love in little child? ~ Will lonely dog follow you in the street?
 Gan you be high minded and happy in the meanest drudgeries of life?
 Do you think that washing dishes and hoeing corn is just as compatible with high think ing as piano playing or golf?
 Are you good for anything yourself?
 Can you be happy alone?
 Can you look out on the world and see anything but dollars and cents?
 Can you look into a mud-pud de by the wayside and see 5 clear sky?
 Can you see anything in the puddle but mud?

"SAFE FARMING"
Department of Agriculture Explains ''Safe Farming" h Circular to Baukers
 and Farmers.

The program of Safe Farm ing" for the South is outlined in a circular which the United States Department of Agricul- ture has sent to bankers, busi- ness men and farmers in the cotton states. The history of agriculture in the South, it has been said, has been one of lean years and fat years. Short crops and high prices have almost in- variably been followed by big crops and low prices and, in con- sequence, the farmer has exper- fenced much distress. The in- creased attention which has re- gently been given to supporting the people upon the land has al- ready resulted in much good, but there is some danger, it is point ed out that, with the price of cotton rising. there will be a tendency for farmers to return to the old system of gambling on cotton. If the people of the South produced their own living the circular points out, it would steady the whole system and keep the boat from rocking. The safety measures recommended are as follows:
 First: Produce a home gar den for every family on the farm. the year round, paying special attention to a plot of Irish or sweet potatoes sufficient to supply the family with food of this character. Where feas- ible, have a patch of sorghum or other cane to produce syrup for the family.
 Second: Produce the corn necessary to support all of the people on the farm and the live stock, with absolute safety.
 Third: Produce the necessary oats and other small grain to supplement the corn as food. Pay attention to winter grazing.
 Fourth: Produce hay and forage crop, sufficient to supply all of the live stock on the farm. Use legumes such as clover, cow peas. velvet beans. soy beans and alfalfa for the production of hay and to enrich the soil with nitrogen and humus.
 Fifth: Produce the meat ne- cessary to supply the people, thru increased attention to poul- try and hogs, especially. Plan to increase gradually the number of cattle and other live stock so as to have a sufficient number to consume the waste products of the farm and make the waste lands productive.
 Sixth: After all of these things have been amply provided for, produce cotton for the mar
