The Farm 'Wood-Lot Problem.

The farm wood-lot problem may
be put in four words. 1t is the
problem of making the wood.lot
pay. Farmers can no more afford
to keep Improbable land than they
can afford to keep Improbable
cows. Idle land which is not
growing more valuable is like a
boarder in the dairy herd; it eats
up part of the profits made else
where, Good farm management
may or may not call for the open
ing OF an actual book account with
the wood lot, but every good farm
er needs to know at the close Of
the year whether he is richer or
poorer for his timbered land.
1t costs money to hold land.
Every acre means carrying cost.
The tenant farmer pays this cost
in rent. The man who works his
own farm should be able to at
least earn rent and wages. If be
sold the farm and put the money
in good savings bank it would
yield him a yearly income without
the lifting of finger. His farm
is an investment. 1t should be a
paying investment. A bank which
paid no intesest would be poor
place to put savings. So farm
which does not yield its owner
and user a fair return on his in
yestment as we'll as a fair return
on the labor and industry of him
self and his family is a poor place
to work. Its possessor is paying
for the privilege of owning it in
stead of making it pay him for
what has been put into it. II the
wood-lot does not directly or indi-
rectly compensate for taxes and
interest allowance on its value, it,
is not doing its share toward max
ing the farm pay, 1t is being car
ried at a net loss.-Year Book
1914.

TOOK PART IN 300 BATTLES
Ninety-Five-Year-old Michigan Vet
eran Was Hurt Just Once in
all His Fights.

Kalamazoo, Mich.-Ninety-tive years
old and veteran of three wars, to
Luke H. Haughey of this city belongs
a distinction no other man in Kalama-
zoo can claim. He Is the only veteran
Of the Mexican war residing in Kala-
mazoo county and as far as known
he is the only veteran Of three Ameri-
can wars who still lives in Michigan.
He fought in the Mexican war, in
the Civil War, and later went west
and took part in the Indian wars. He
served in the Civil War in the Seventh
Michigan cavalry. During his entire
life he has taken part in nearly 800
actual battles and never suffered a
wound His only injury, and that a
temporary one, came in the Civil War
when he was knocked from horse by
a bursting shell.

Forest Culture.

Forest culture is as much OF an
art as is corn culture. A good
woodslot, like good cornfeld, is
the result Of applying intelligent
methods to produce afull, valuable
crop. A cornfeld with fail spots,
empty hills, feeble stalks, and
half-6lled ears is neither a credit
to the farm nor a paying invest
ment for the farmer. No more is
a woodlot half stocked with inferior
trees. When timber is cut is the
time of all times to apply forestry.
The way in which the cutting is
done will determine what the
subsequent condition Of the wood
lot will be. Yearbook, 1914, U. S.

At the special invitation of Mr..
Jim Perkins, we drove out Friday
afternoon to see the half-mile
section of model road being built
from Hall-Moody institute to the
Dr., l. N. Johnson residence. The
road is we'll crowned to the CEN
ter and is being given four coats
of gravel coarse, heavy rock for
a foundation, then smaller rock,
then fine gravel and last coat
ing of very fine rock, each coat
rolled and thoroughly packed.
Citizens OF Martin contributed the
money for the purchase of the ma
terial and farmers who travel this
road are hauling the gravel out,
while the city Of Martin furnishes
the large steam roller. We predict
that within a very few years the
road from Martin on to Union City
will be a metal road just like this
half-mile section and that it will be
done without extra taxation. The
sum of $4,000 ought to be set
aside annually in this county for
the construction of a road similar
to this one, which cost 81, 400 per
mile.
On Thursday, while accom-
panying the fair boosters over the
county, we were afforded an OPP
portunity Of inspecting the Sixth
District Central High school
building. We pronounce this a
handsome structure, we'll equip
ped with almost every modern
convenience. The building is sit
uated on.a beautiful elevation, the
large campus has been sodded
and all roads leading to it are
kept dragged by patriotic, public
spirited citizens Five wagons
convey the children to and from
school, landing them at both
places dry shod, warm and COM
Portable. Ny, what a wonderful
age we are living inl Time is
rapidly approaching when every
boy and every girl of the rural
districts will be given educational
advantages equal, if not superior,
to those enjoyed by the boys and
girls of the towns and cities. OF
course, it is to be expected that
some would object to these
modern ideas. 1t would be i'm
possible to get all the people to
see any question alike, No reason
able person has Alright to expect
unity in all things. This is true
Of educational matters as well as
religions and political issues.
But, Just the same, the time is
coming when country boys and
girls can get an education at
home and be fitted to compete
with boys and girls of the towns
and cities.

completion.
Mr.. John M. Gardner is one Of
Martins most patriotic, public
spirited citizens. For some weeks
he has had a crew of hands at work
widening, grading and dragging
the road leading by his magi6cient
palatial home, east of Martin.
This work has cost him, no doubt,
several hundred dollars, besides
the land he has given. We pre-
dict that when Gardner complets
the Job he will have to his credit
the best piece Of road in the
county. He has given it ample
width, with sufficient drainage
and crown, and with the use of
the split-log drag will be able to
keep that road in frst-class con-
dition throughout the year.

the young man. who was a mem
Der of the Houston fire depart
ment, met death while fighting a
fire, but this was not true; he was
stabbed to death by a treacherous,
murderous Mexican, the Mexican
claiming that it was a mistake, as
he thought Gardner another party
whom he wished to kill and that
he did not intend to kill the man
into whom he plunged his cruel
dagger. The blow proved fatal at
once.

Chapelle des Iuvaiides in Paris. for place tU fmpart the KISS:
 Where are you going, Uncle FrankT' called one of the children, seeing that Frank Elwood was making for the door.

 Right you are, Frank. But you're not going to spend your Christmas alone. You're going to spend It right here in the home you've saved from a permanent wreck"
 The mother said nothing, She dared not trust her voice to speak. She went to Frank, put her arms around bis neck and kissed him, while one of the girls took hls hat away from him, and the youngest boy, Seizing his cane, ca pered around the room using it for a horse.
 Christine entered and announced din. ner.
 "Dinner!" exclaimed Elwood. "l thought we were brought here for an other purpose than dinner Can it be true that we are all to dine together in our own home on Christmas eve with our own children|
 And Uncle Frank" put in one of the boys
 Did you provide the dinner. Frank|' asked Mrs Elwo0d "l thought ron were rather given to providing essen tias of another kind

 That was the end of the troubles for the Elwood family The Christmas they spent united was made the more delightful in contrast with the Christ mas before, at which they were sepa rated and their sudden and uncXpect ed coming together

CREED AND POLITICS. - Your
article on dragging religion into pol
itics is timely and thoughtful. 1t puts
the little Day Book upon such high
plane Of independence that the big
red ink sheets should be ashamed of
themselves and hasten to consider
something outside the real estate and
want advertising.
1 would amend your article by
changing the word religion" into
''sectarianism. A lot of real religion
could be mixed into politics without
harm, but the sort of religion that
divides the people into sects and
breeds hatred between different
churches is the same counterfeit re-
ngiOn that crucifed Christ and fol-
lowed it up by burning heretics at the
stake for centuries afterward. It is
not, religion at all, but creed wor-
ship that allies itself with the NAM
mon of unrighteOusness as represent
ed in government rotten with special
privileges.
It is neither Catholic nor Protes-
tant, and you have done well to warn
the people not to be deceived into
balloting under the influence of this
false religion.
Under another name it is the same
sort of bigotry that called attention
to in The Day Book recently that
is, the bigotry of partisanship. The
man that votes for Sweitzer because
he is the Democratic candidate com
mits the same crime against liberty
as the one who votes for or against
him because he is a Catholic. The
man who votes faor Thompson be-
cause he is a Republican is as much
a bigot as the man who votes for
or against him because he is a Prot
estant.
This kind of politics has no place
In this I111InioinaI election and fha
