Friend Death

Of goodness, friend Death,
Men have you bereft,
And clad you black and drear;
Made you Prince of Fear.
But we know that Life
Has much to fear from Strife,
And Hate and Greed
Often seek you to intercede.
All joy in Life's brief reign,
Comes not without some pain
Of those who give and lose;
And cannot life's full cup refuse.
Death l call you friend,
For you are not the end,
But merely open wide the gate,
Where Joy and Life await.
To be game and play the game, game
when the game is lost, is the true spirit of
gameness.
Anybody who has the money can bet on
horse race, but it takes good horse, a
wise jockey and knowledge of horse sense
to win the race.

conception full of idealism. was at its best
but the mere theory of monarchist. l.

god and then crowning him is the worship

seek to idealize heroism, they are becom-
ing idealistlc in menship, and that is bet

There has been great deal of criticism
as to the manner in which the present great
war is being fought. The critics should re-
member that war is war, and things will
happen during war time that would not be
sistently criticise war for being war.
"Men ought to regard their language as
an inheritance to be conserved and i'm
proved SO far as that is possible, and ought
not to degrade it by reversion to lower ty-
pes. -Herbert Spencer.
That is the opinion of the premier of all
English philosophers. What would have
been his views on George Ade's-"Fables
in Slang?
There has appeared recently several eff
forts to convince the reading public, that
will power is the all essential faculty by
which to achieve success. If do" is adj
ded to will, success can be easily gained, for
with will alone you have faculty which
can only create. DO gives impulse to that
which is willed and created. To will is
not to edo" and if one possesses the most
powerful will, he is impotent if he cannot
carry the dictates of his will into execution.
1t was predicted by the base ball experts,
here in our midst, that we would not get a
score Saturday. Another proof of the un-
reliability of expert testimony.
These October days are so beautiful that
each of them ought to count as ten served

Think Happy Thoughts, 0 friend,
in sunny weather!
IT'S easier when skies are deep
and blue.
Let thy heart and the robins sing
together,
And thy clear eyes be tranquil as
the dew.
So rich store of memories shalt
thou gather.
So tranquil grow thy spirit and
thy brain.
Then when the winds blow fog
and stormy weather.
Thou shalt have sunshine though
the earth have rain.

Mr.. z. proved to he an excellent
critic and gave very good report

farmers Meeting
National Organizer Adds Many New
Members.


The local union of the Farmers So
cicty of Equity held very enthusiast
tic meeting IN the assembly rooms
on Wednesday, February 3rd. About
$50 farmers were present and listen
ed closely for more than two hours
to Mr. A. J.. Satterfleld the national
organizer.
The speaker emphasized the mar
kcting side Of the farmers work, and
his remarks were full of interest to
those present Among other facts, II
was shown that out of the sixteen bill
lion dollars paid by the consumers of
America, only five and one-half bill
lion finds its way to the producers,
he balance aside from about three
billion paid for transportation and
handling, represents middle mems
profits.
In the United States there is one
middle man to every twenty-four
producers, and statistics show that
'Hlh but uidIl Hldh'o dS iuIh 40 tire
twcnty-four
There are twenty thousand multi
millionarics in the United States.
while there Is not one I'm Denmark
The reason for this, said Mr.. Satter-
field, was the fact that In Denmark
the farmers are organized, and specu-
latiCn In products thereby prohibited
out Of one dollar paid In Denmark
by the consumer, ninety-three cents
goes back to the producer.
The speaker referred to the work
accomplished in Idaho during the last
sixteen months, and said they had
handled three thousand car loads of
potatoes alone. and also a great many
cars of grain, hogs, cattle, etc.
In regard to grain the speaker
showed how by eifecting an organiza-
tion, We would be placed In touch with
regular quotations from the exchange
at Los Angeles and Portland, giving
the farmer first hand information as
to what he can get for his grain
Eighty-iive per cent of the grain ship
ped from this intcrmountain country
goes to Los Angeles. and the other
fifteen per cent TO Portland
Mr.. Satterfeld spoke at some length
on the purchasing side. and said that
they had been able to save idaho
farmers 40 to 100 per cent on alfalfa
seed, IL to 20 per cent on lumber, so
to 100 per cent on burlap bags, and
10 to 80 per cent on farm tools.
The purpose of the union is not to
make the consumer pay more for his
goods, but to see that more of what
he does pay, finds its way back TO the
producer.
After the meeting the number OF
charter members was raised to "a,
quite a number of new members sign
ing up
The society hopes to he ready IN
the very near future TO favor its pat
rons, both by handling any produce
they may have, and also by saving
money on the purchase of implements,
lumber, burlap bags, seed, etc.

meeting will be held tonight (Sat.)

tY with 81, 900, 100000 of capital in it.
Now you say the Bell system is ready
to install any new superior phone.
Would the Bel company scrap its
billion dollar investment In the man
ual phone in order to demonstrate
the superiority Of the automatic?
Sunny-WeH, think the answer to
that is that If the automatic Is more
successful the Bell would adopt it as
the standard.
Foster-W What would the Chicago
Telephone Co. do with the automatic
system in Chicago If permitted to buy
it for $4,000, 600 as proposed?

investigate its uses. That would take
about six months. Then we would
decide what to do with It

Automatic phone system of Chicago
was brought out today before council
gas-o1 committee. ..>-.. d..
B. F. Sunny, the $3.50 a year
president of the Chicago Telephone
Co., testified. Stephen Foster, attOr-
new for the committee, put the
screws to Sunny, Foster knows the
inside. He is attorney for companies
fighting against being strangled by
the Bell monopoly. By hard dragging
and many keen questions, Foster got
from Sunny these facts:
Patent rights worth big money win
go to tie American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. (the Bell monopoly if
the city permits the Automatic sys-
TEN to be sold to the Bell
Nobody at the Chicago Telephone
Co., not even Sunny himself, is sure
the Automatic system viii be used if

Chances are it wiz be seEapped.
Sunny, the Ben crowd. AMI every
body in on it, are planning to add the
$500, 900 sale price to the Chicago
Telephone Co, capitalization. This
would shoot phone rates higher than
now. -.,-.
The amazing thing of the day was
the bum memory of Sunny. There
was surprise or laughter on nearly
every face IN the room when Sunny
cooIIy said he didn't know anything
about the proposed sale Of the auto
matte to the Ben monopoly except as
he had heard it talked about among
A. T. & T, officers and among Illinois
Tunnel Co. officers,

fast and jumped. The car was

Curtis-Pyatt

A very pretty wedding took
place at the residence of Rev.
Frank Ellis, II miles west of
Hartville, at ) o'clock Wednes
day afternoon, in the presence
of a few relatives and friends,
when the Reverend Ellis said the
words that joined the lives of
H. H. Curtis and Miss Effie
Pyatt.
The bride is a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Pyatt, and
was one of the teachers in the
Hartville public school during
the last session. She is a young
lady possessed of many friends,
worker in the Baptist church,
a girl whose smiles are as con
stant as the hours of the day,
and is loved and respected by all
who know her.
The groom is a son of James
Curtis and is member of the,
Curtis grocery firm, of Hartville.
He Is an active and prosperous
young business man, attends
the Christian church, and is a
young man who believes if one
cannot pull for his community
he should not put a stick in the
spokes of Il wheel some one else
is trying to move.
Mr. and Mrs. Curtis came to
Hartville, where they have a
beautiful home already furnished
in the rooms over the Bank OF
Hartville, where they immedi
ately went to housekeeping, and
all Etfie has to do is to look out
and call To Herbert for groceries 5
when she wants to prepare a
meal.
Their many friends worked
long and hard with horns. bells
and tin pans Wednesday evening
to show their approval, and the
esteem in which they are held.
The Mirror joins in congratu
lations.
