from streams. No one should be- come alarmed; the world will never starve.
 The consumer has always feared that the producer would not sup-I ply him and his fright has found expression on the statute books of our states and nations, and the farmer has been urged to produced recklessly and without referenceI to market, and regardless of the demands of the consumer.
 Back to the Soil.
 The city people have been urg- ing each other to move back toI the farm, but very few of them! have moved. We welcome our city cousins back to the soil and this earth's surface contains 16,- 092, 100000 idle acres of tillable land where they can make liv- ing by tickling the earth with forked stick, but we do not need them so far as increasing produc- ton is concerned. The city man has very erroneous ideas of agri- cultural conditions. The common ly accepted theory that we are short on production IS all wrong. Our annual increase in produc- ton far exceeds that of our in crease in population.
 The World as Farm.
 Taking the world as one big farm, we find two billion acres of land in cultivation. Ofthis amount there is approximately 750O00,0O0 acres on the western and f,2o0,- 100000 acres on the eastern hem isphere, in cultivation. This esti- mate does not include grazing lands, forests, etc., where largeI quantities of meat are produced
 The worlds annual crop ap- proximates fifteen billion bushelsI of cereals, thirteen billion pounds of fibre and sixty-hve million tons of meat.
 The world shows an average increase in cereal production oil B per cent during the past de cade, compared with the previous five years, while the worlds pop-I ulation shows an increase of onlvl } per cent.
 The gain in production far ex- ceeds that of our increase in pop ulation, and it is safe to estimate that the farmer can easily in crease production 25 per cent if a remanerst1ye market can be found for the products.

FARMER RADFORD ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The home is the greatest contri- button of women to the world. and the hearthstone is her throne. Our social structure is built around her, and social righteous ness is in her charge. Her beau tiful life lights the skies of hope and her refinement is the charm of twentieth century civilization. Her graces and her power are , the cumulative products of gen erations of queenly conquest, and her crown of exalted womanhood is jeweled with the wisdom of saintly mothers. She has been great factor in the glory of our country, and her noble achieve ments should not be marred or her hallowed influence blighted by the coarser duties of citizen ship. American chivalry should never permit her to bear the bur dens of defending and maintain ing government, but should pre- serve her unsullied from the al lied influences of politlc-, and protect her from the weighty re- sponsibilities of the sordid affairs of life that will crush her ideals and lower her standards. The motherhood of the farm is our inspiration, she is the guardian of our domestic welfare and a guide to higher life, but direct ing the affairs of government is rot within woman's sphere, and political gossip would cause her to neglect the home, forget to mend our clothes and burn the biscuits.

Notice. Delinquent Subscribers.

We hereby give due notice to all delinquent subscribers to the Carlisle Independent that their names will be stricken from our mailing list after next week $ issue of the paper, but we will -elve each and every one a chance to square themselves by the 20 h of February by paying S2 %, which will puy your subscrip. ton up to Jan. 1, 1916.

 We are strengthening out the business affairs of the Independ- ent and must get our books in shape this month, and if you don't like it you can stop the paper by the simple trick of paying your subscription and ordering it stopped.
 Remember, until Feb. 20th, S2 % will pay up all back dues and put you ahead to Jan. 1, 1916, so take advantage of this liberal proposition and we will both profit by it.
 You have been getting the paper long time now and it is time our money is coming ip. You can't help but agree with u, on this point of fact. It's true saying that newspaper men usu- ally carry their money in other peoples pockets, but it has come to pass that we positively have to raise some cash, and the only way possible is to get it from those who owe us.

The Poor Have a Chance.

While we were feeling blue and dejected one day recently, we happened to come across an article written by Robert Inger- sol, entitled, The Poor have a Chance, " says an exchange. We read 1t over twice, and felt much better after reading it. Here is what he says:
 There is one thing, however, of which 1 am glad and proud, and that is, that society is not, Tn our country. petrified; that the poor are not always poor. The children of the poor of this generation, may, and probably will be, the rich of the next. The sons of the rich of this genera tlon may be the poor of the next, so that, after all, the rich fear and the poor hope.
 It is the glory of the United States that the poor man can take his boy upon his knee and say: My son, all the, avenues of distinction are open to you. You can rise. There is no station, no position, to which you may not aspire. The poverty of your father will not be mill-stone about your neck. The public schools are open to you. For you there is education, honor, fame and prosperity"
 These thoughts render holy every drop of sweat that rolls down the face of honest toll.

TIE COUNTY FAIR
By Peter Radford. Lecturer National Farmers Union.

The farmer gets more out oi the fair than anyone else. The lair to city man is an entertain ment; to farmer 1t is education Let us take stroll through the fair grounds and finger a mo- ment at a few of the points oi greatest interest. We will first visit the mechanical department and hold communion with the worlds greatest thinkers.
 You are now attending a con gress of the mental giants in me chanical science of all ages. They are addressing you in tongues oi iron and steel and in language mute and powerful tell an elo- quent story of the worlds prog ress. The inventive geniuses are the most valuable farm hands we have and they perform an en- during service to mankind. Wi can all help others for a brief period while we live, but 1t takes a master mind to tower into the realm of science and light torch of progress that will illuminate the pathway of civilization for future generations. The men who gave us the sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and hundreds of other valuable inventions work in every field on earth and will continue their labors as long as time. Their bright intellects have conquered death and they will live and serve mankind on and on forever, without money and without price. They have shown Us how grand and noble it is to work for others; they have also taught us lessons in economy and efficiency, how to make one hour do the work of two or more :; have heightened our lives, multi piled our opportunities and taken toll off the back of humanity.
 They are the most practical men the world ever produced. Their inventions have stood the acid test of utility and efficiency. Like all useful men, they do not seek publicity, yet millions of machines sing their praises from every harvest field on earth and as many blows turn the soil in mute applause of their marvellous achievements.

We notice that every time the closet of your neighbor is opened you strain your neck to peek, and then afterwards strain your vile tongue in talking about it. Did you ever stop to think that some day a tradgedy might take up it's abode in your home? Gan t you get it through your head that some day the tongue of slan- der may cut you like a sharp sword and the whisper of your ueighbor be as vinegar to your wounds. Misfortune may have overtaken your neighbor, but it does not become you to get on the housetops and shout it out to all the world. You will not be called upon to pay for nor ans wer for any of the sins of your neighbors. You have all you can do to pay for your indiscretions. Some day one near and dear to you may fall-the prison walls may open to son or the scarlet letter eternally blight a daught- CT. When home is in mourning 2 over a tradegy the best thing you can do is to keep your mouth shut, unless you can say some thing that will come as a rift in the clouds. The only difference is that your neighbor was caught, and you. up-to date, have kept the sun light away Be charit- able, for you know not the day nor the hour when the blight may appear in your sacred circle
