With The Farmer, Ills Fairs
and His Work.

After 3 recent trip through some Of
the best farming country in the central
west, [ am Impressed more than ever
with tneidea that advertising pays for
the farmer, am further convinced
that We in Forest county have better
prost ects than the fellow with his $500
acre lane in Iowa and Illioois Itis a
fact that we are raising more on the
acre shan they are there and we get as
high and even higher prices for the
produce Ehat Is che difference? They
have sestled up their country by adver-
tisiag and getting people t2 comethere.
/ believe we have q more desirable
place to live than they. We have bet
ter schools. we have more beautiful
country, with lakes, streams and
woods.
Itis up to you farmers to show peo-
pie what we can dc. viii you let ad-
joining coartiee take all the best prizes
and then the best settlers? You say
II havn't time tc- gather bunch Of
that fine clover. That is the most
important thing you can do. So often
we neglect the little things when it
really Is of iauch inheritance. What
pride are your children taking in your
work? Are you allowing your COM
manity to stand still and your homes
with it? Are you helping make a good
place for your children? Get a sample
Qf that clover, timothy, wheat, or
athher crop ready for the State Fair
and for the county and local fairs.
Your town chairman is on the conn
nlittee to prepare she Exhibit for the
State Fair and-you should band Jour
stuff to him. The committee, with the
iAgricaltural representative, are work.
Iiag hard for a good showing Every
thing we can do VIII help educate the
lpeople farther South to the possibilities
Of this county.
Watch Tor good things. Get the
boys and girls interested in serding
taings to the fair. Help them select
theI3ght things.

Sharp Fight Precipitated in
Senate Over Measure.

Washington, Fet. 10-Prcsident
Wilson has endorsed the plan of SEN
ator Tillman to pu.h his arlnor plate
bill to speedy passage in answer 20
the threat Of private firms that, if
the government did SO, they would
stop their plants and raise prices.
As a result, Tillmar obtained the
permission of the floor leaders today
to call his measure up before the reg
alar order of business next Monday.
He wishes to pass the measure early
enough in the session to cradle the
house to vote on it, if it passes the
senate.
1t will be attacked sharply by Sem
atorS, Penrose Lodge and Smith, of
Michigan, as an assault on private in
dustry and capital. They will charge
too. that in case of foreign attack the
government plant would be inadequate
and that therefore Tillmans bill is a
blow at preparedness.

EYES ON GUARD
Discipline Tightening Around
Kansas CitiZen-SOIdierS.
Code Authorizes Fine for Alb
SenteeS From Drill.

Comment has been made recently
upon the increased tendency toward
tightening of discipline in the Kansas
national guard it is said. Throughout
the state. company. battalion and regl-
mental commanders are making every
effort to induce guardsmen to attend
drill regularly. In few instances un-
excused absentees have been brought
in by a squad detailed for the purpose.
The Kansas military code sives com
manders authority to fine such alb
sentees and. in event they are unable
to pay, to compel them to work out
their fines at the rate of a dollar a
day. The guardsmen are given the
right to appeal to a general court
martial appointed by the governor
THE nation has its eyes on its SOL
diers." c. I. Martin, adjutant general,
said today. And congress has its
eyes on the national guard with a view
to determining whether or not to give
the department of war greater control
and place it on pay basis or to or
ganize a continental army exclusively
under the federal control. Our men
must come up to the mark set by the
regular army as far as the limited time
in which they are engaged permits
Failing in this they are not wanted as
members of the Kansas national
guard"
