THE VALUE OF LAND.

Location is more important than the yield of crops in the value of farm lands.
 Following an exhaustive investiga- tion by government experts it has been 9ound that those farms that are nearest to markeA arc worth more than more fertile farms that are further rom a convenient market
 Condition of the road was another Important factor affecting farm land value Those situated contiguous to hard roads six miles from town were found to bring more in the open market than similar farms on dirt roads two miles from a town.
 II was definitely demonstrated that most folks preferred to live six miles from town on a hard road than two miles from town on a soft road.
 This is the condition in Jefferson county as elsewhere. A combination of convenience 10 market and good hard road increases land values in this county.

DIR .L0sTr PRESTIGE.

Tn ths east Boston and New Yogk espccialiy-@t!iers is woe and gnash- ing of teeth over Uncle Sam's lost prestige.
 There is fright and consternation ever the futuno of our country
 We are told that the good old U. <. A. has lost it's prestige among the nations of the world and that any body will pick on us in the future.
 Whateve7 preaige we may have lost is due in large part to the news paper organs of these people. The great metropolitan organs in New York and Boston particularly the former city, have been fulsome in writing up" our native land in the worst possible light They apparent ly have considered it beneath con- tempt, and their utterances have been quoted abroad with considerable acclaim as "Ameiican sentiment"
 When will foreigners learn that the sentiments of any one American city is not the sentiment of the country? When will editors in such cities learn to estimate themselves with refer ence to the whole nation?
 \ few hundred Ame ricans have been lahoring night and day to in- volve this country in the European var. They want to defend the honor and prestige of the country.
 Of course, Wall street hasn't q thing to do with it.

THE COST DE SERVICE.

There are quite number of eco nomical philosophers who imagine re- tail merchants are pr-tty vel paid for merely handling goods"
 Such superelious thinking de- serves Iebuke
 A merchant in any line of fnhsiness must know the business" T must know the ins and outs of meechan- disc, the what's what of every article he handles.
 Knowledge such as this is cnti led to remuneration. just as 9 skilled mechanic is entitled to remuneration for being able to perform his work.
 Furthermore, handing" gaof's consists on being at tEe sergice of the public; on awaiting he sweet will of the public when l. is ready to buy. The element of mo consump- tion here is q big factor Consider the time a merchant and his aids have to put in in serving the public.
 And service costs money. II is worth money. Without it the public would be put to extreme inconven- fence.
 Yet t is something that the same public is prone to overlook entirely

"A farmer has as much right to
 paint a sign that he tas butter and
 eggs for sale on the front window Of the best store in town as the merchant has to paint his signs all over the farmers barns and f0nt yard fences" was the statement Of !. B.

The primitive man did not save He lived in caves and ate wild fruits, after a time he learned to cultivate the ground and raise grains and vegetables. hen he saw that it would be we'll to save seed for the next harvest. Thus 1t came about that men saved and passed on their accumulations and the results of their savings to the next generation and SO man became civil ized. That is why 1t is said that spendthrift is continually savage and generation of spendthrifts would throw society back into bar barism.
 We as individuals, and, therefore, as a nation, have been woefully ex- travagant. Our governmental ex- penditures have increased 400 per- cent in the last thirty years. Yet the campaign for thrift is now being car ried on so vigorously that thrift is in a fair way to become popular.

 Children of Cook County, Illinois schools are learning industry and thrift from their truck gardens. Many of the boys and girls in the rural schools can teach their fathers how to grow vegetables, how to im- prove the growth and prepare the land, and what IS still nore inter- esting, how to make money on a small patch of ground, worked after school hours. One little girl, Matilda Meyer, last season raised enough beans, to- matoes, carrots and other garden stuff to bring her $14665.
