The Thrifty Farmer

The thrifty farmer has long been the
backbone of the country One good ag-
riculturist is worth more to the country
than a carload of politicians or ere
formers"
During the first year of the European
war the American farmer protited largely
by the good prices his products brought.
Rumors have had it that the farmer was
succumbing to the temptation of sudden
prosperity and was rioting in automo-
biles and other extravagances. An en-
quiry recently by a metropolitan news
paper to determine whether these re-
ports were true has brought out facts to
the contrary. The mail order houses,
which are largely patronized by the
farmers, were questioned. One OF these
said that the rural demand for merchan-
considering the buying power of the
farmer, and that their standard of living,
as we'll as of farming, had been advanced.
The buying of automobiles, this house
said, discontinued on such an enormous
scale that trade-student's perspective
might easily become distorted, "After
ALL" it stated, lis the automobile a farm
asset or liability" 1t depends upon
the automobile and the farmer
The high price of gasolene has about
the same effect in the country as in the
cities. Old users of automobiles consider
the cost while new ones do not, at least
not the first year or until the novelty
wears off" Farmers are enjoying many
other luxuries these days in their homes"
A banker, dealing in farm mortgages,
said that the supply of mortgages was
a usual, but that more people wanted to
purchase "The automobile trade" he
said, "is booming among farmers. Far
mers make their Fords and other small
cars save more in time than the cost of
upkeep and gasolene," or at least many
of them do and all should
"The standard of farm life and of farm
ing is rising, bnt there is not apparent
yet any tendency toward extravaganza. "

Eagle Pass

Eagle Pass is one of the important
points on the Rio Grande river, being a
short distance north of Fort Duncan, and
opposite the Mexican town of Piedras
Negras. 1t is I'VE hundred miles south.
east of FL Paso, and about 300 miles
from the mouth OF the Rio Grande 1t is
also 275 miles due east of the city OF
chihuahua, north Of which the Mexicans
are gathering to resist the American
forces coming from the north.
Eagle Pass has about 5000 inhabi-
tants in normal times, and it is located
in a coal-mining, Woodworking and
stock-raisng district Its railroad con-
nections make it an important trading
center and during the Civil war it enioved
a large traffic. In a succeeding issue we
shall speak at length of this point in con-
nection with various strategic consider
ations entering into the general situation
in the event of war with Mexico For
the present there is no indication of the
pro ability of fighting anywhere near
Eagle Pass, the tendancy OF Pershing' S
invasion from the North being to draw
the Mexican forces away from Eagle Pass
instead of toward 1t Free Press.

LATEST WORD OF SCIENCE.

The liquorites in their publicity arti-
Giles often quote what they call a re
cent" statement in the Lancet UCn-
don, England concerning benefits,
from the use of alcoholic medicines
and beverages. AS a matter of fact it
appeared some years ago and was pre-
pared by proliquorites in an attempt
to offset tie antialcoholic utterances of
leading English physicians and sur
geons-such men as Sir Frederick
Treves, surgeon to the king; Sir Thorn
as Barlow, physician to the king; Sir
Victor Horsley, England's greatest
neurological surgeon; Sir A. Pearce
Gould of the Niddlesex hospital, Sir
James Barr, dean Of the Medical
School of Liverpool university; Prof
Sims WoOdhead Of Cambridge univer-
sity medical school, and others of like
standing.
The statement received 16 signatures
of medical men, and half of these, it
vas discovered, were men who owned
brewery or distillery stock. 1t was
given conspicuous place in every bar
room in England and in many Ameri~
can saloons-and is still doing duty.
To the question, is alcohol food or
a poison, stimulant or depressant?
science is giving reply. It's latest re-
port comes from the nutrition labora-
tory of the Carnegie institution OF
Washington, where tests were made to
determine the effects of alcohol on mo-
tor and mental processes. The sub
jects were college graduates, some OF
them moderate drinkers, some hard
drinkers. In all the tests made the
evidence showed clearly that alcohol is
a depressant to the system, never q,
stimulant.

Why Do They So?

"a quantity of local news from a half
dozen towns and some advertising copy
is omitted from this issue, owing to the
late hour on which copy was received
and eXigenCies in the office"
The above is from an exchange and is
common occurrence in every news
paper office. Correspondents frequently
delay sending in their news items until
the last minute and there is a great rush
to get it in the current issue of the paper
and very frequently considerable of it
has to go over until the next week and
people wonder WHY" Advertisers also
have this habit of waiting until the pa
per is about ready to go to press and
they rush in their advertisement, which,
as a rule, might have been sent in sever
al days before. A little consideration a.
long this line would save the printer a.
lot of trouble and do away with many
mistakes that occur in the rush hour.
Think this over" correspondents, adj
vertisers and everybody else who has to
do with the newspaper. Printers are
nothing but a bunch of humanity and
they are quite as apt as anybody else to
get impatient over what some think are
little" matters.

ORGANIZERS STORY.

One of our pro-liquor friends told
the writer that women ought to stay
at home and bring up their families.
They ought to train their boys to let
liquor alone. Then he told a pathetic
story that he personally knew to be
true CD of a certain Mrs. Pingley out
in Kansas always KansasD, who
went out lecturing for the w. c. T. I.
and left her three little children for
their father to look after. He could
not be with them every moment, and
the three boys played on the railroad
track and were all killed by the cars
running over them. AS ! dryly COM
mented, all that spoiled the story was
that the w. c. T. L. never sends out
woman lecturers with small children
at home, and there never was any
Mrs. Pingley employed as W. c. 7.
L. speaker in Kansas. He was not
certain then whether that was her
name or not, and thought perhaps she
was speaking for some ~ther cause!

Profitable Stock RAISING

at Brattleboro, showed the value mt
upon such stock by men qualified 10
judge of values. No COW sold for less
than S14O. six animals selling for over

one tor $3.50, a record price for this
section. This COW is now giving, so it
was claimed, 10 pounds of milk per dav,
and is well worth the price paid. Why
should farmers keep bastard runts when
they might do so much better? At
another sale at the same grounds CT
animals sold for the great aggregate of
ST., 500, an average of $50 each. 1t
d 2es not cost SO very much more to feed
and care for high grade animal than
one of lesser value, and the profits are
many fold more. Why should some
farmers walk in the steps of their an
cesters of so years ago when so many

WHAT DOCTORS THINK.

When the liquor men circularized
the physicians of Vermont, urging
them to oppose statewide prohibition,
the replies were not what they had
hoped for. This is one of them:
eve, the members of the medical
staff of the Vermont State hospital
submit the following as an expression
of our opinion of the use of alcohol as
a beverage.
1--WE are now and ever shall be ut
terly opposed to the sale and use or
alcohol in any form as beverage; we
are absolutely opposed to any propa-
ganda that has for its purpose to le-
galize the sale of alcohol as a bever"-
age. It has no place internally as
medicine; it is always in all forms
poison and a destroyer of proto--
plasm and a paralyzer of protoplasmic
activity.
