INSPIRATION Of
The COUNTY FIR
ey Peter Racford.

When Won enter the agricultural de-
partment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplited and YOUR life takes
on a new uuwer-that is the inspira-
ton of the soil You are oyerpcne-ed
by the grandeur and magnihcence OF
the scone-that is the spirit Of the
harvest. You can hear the voice CT
nature calling you back TO the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is a good chance TO spend
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection Of nature md 10 sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its pc
These products as food are fl for
the gods. and as an article Of com
mcrce they ought to bring up-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products Of the soil are teachers
and preachers as we'll Their beauty
gives human life It's first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth Of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and We inquire into the won
derful process CT nature.
Before leaving the parlor Of agricul-
ture where nature is plrading in her
most graceful attire and science 10
climbing the eiGGy heights of periec-
ton. let US pause and take q retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised. they can seldom be
marketed at profit? Take the blush
ing Elberta. for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The oniOn-the nation iayorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want Of
market and as a result hundreds OF
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-naturc's CaDitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
II is great TO wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast OF tho marvellous
fertility OF the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
It is also well to remember that there
is a market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships in the
exhibits at d county fair.

The Term Of Life.

\ rule which holds fairly true
among the higher mammals is that
an animal lives five time Is long as
it requires for his muscular system
20 reach its full development.
The dog is fully developed al be
tween , and 5 year, of age, and
lives IS years; The horse reaches
his prime not later than 5, and if
he escapes overworl; and III usuaGe
lives to be 3 years and even 80.
II fact, the rule seems to be an
understatcment of animal eNpecta-
ton Of life. rather, than al over
statement.
The one conspicuous exception
in man, who seldom reaches his
full muscular strength before he IS
> and counts himself living on
borrowed time if lie passes the age
Of 70. If man were well circuru-
stanced to this matter as the horse
dog or cat, his average term Of
life would vary from 40 20 125
years, says the Chicago Journal.
To state the case thus badly
makes it sound Fanatic, yet if
there IS any reason why human
beings should not be as tenacious
of life as other higher mammals,
science has failed to discover that
/ reason. Only the other day the
retiring president of the American
Medical association said the adop-
ton Of few simple rules of COM
munity hygiene would raise the
I average expectation of life from ~
years, as at present, to 65 years
and his trained and critical au-
diene agreed with him. What,
then, may we expect when science
turns its attention to building up
individual vitality as well as to
checking the spread of contagious
disease?

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst CT
a controversy as TO how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and il is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded ag-
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny Of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter of century we
have fought many a duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians 70
carry on q guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to CRY
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched fer explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions Of war should be given a
III,
versal Peace. Let US by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity
should begin at home.

GRASpIhG At The SHADOW

No man-especially if he is mar
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give US peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all is said and done, is not
the selection of the butcher more i'm
portant to the home than the election
of a mayor; is not the employment OF
the dairyman a far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment of a postmaster; is
not the selection Of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for Jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit of woman
hood that it is not, as a rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; it Is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Now | lay me down to sleep"
tkat-harangues the populace; it'js not
the daughter who hopes to reign as
queen over happy home that longs
for the uniform OF the suffragette. Il
is. as a rule, the woman who despises
her home. neglects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads paradeS
Rpd smashes windows.
