A nonagenarian advises the reading
of newspapers and keeping youthful
company as recipe for longevity. rte
believes in lengthening life by refus-
ing to grow old. There is much sound
philosophy in this theory of keeping
young, for, even if it does not lead to
the century mark, it makes every mo-
ment of life worth living.

FARMER REAPS GAIN
BY E|CHT.H0UR LAW
Prevented Tying Up Of Crops
Valued at S6,0OO,0 100000.
BY FRANK G. 0DELL
Editor Nebraska Farm Magazine.

The New York Sun quotes James
Wilson, of Iowa, former Secretary of
Agriculture, as saying that the farmers
were hit hardest By the Adamson
Eight-hour Law, which stopped the
threatened general railroad strike.
According to The sun Mr. Wilson
said:
THE farmer has no eight-hour day.
Should that number Of hours become
general in all occupations, Including
the farm. the prices OF food would
rise still higher than those current"
The logic OF the venerable ex-Sec-
rotary is bad. The farmer is not wor-
rying about the high price of food.
He raises his own food. He grows
food for sale. Thnts his business
IT, MS the exSecretary says,-the
eight. hour day will increase the cost
of food the farmer has everything
to gain.
And Uncle Jim" has overlooked the
fact that the farmers of the United
States had not less than S6,000,OO0,0 900
worth of products practically ready
to send to market when the strike
crisis was imminent at the first OF
September. Tho threatened strike
would have paraIyzed the farmers
market ard stopped the wage OF the
worker in every industry.
lncalcnnbe losses, running into
hundreds Of millions, were averted
when the strike was prevented.
Woodrow Wilson did It.
"Tama Jim" was Secretary OF Agri-
culture through four Republican Ad-
INSTRUMENTATION years. These
were sixteen years Of monopollstic
control of The farmers market. Dur
Ing this period, these great combina-
tons. which have stood between the
producer and the consumer, reached
the zenith of their power. Greed and
extortion ran riot.
During this period, the farmers OF
the country complained continually OF
capitalistic eytortion. They held con-
yentlons throughout the great grain
and live stock belt to voice their pro-
test They sent deputatlons Of able
men to Washington. They sent their
appeals for justice to the Secretary OF
Agriculture and waited at the door
Of the White House during the admin
istratlons OF Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft. They asked for bread and re-
celved stones of Indifference. They
demanded justice and received plat-
tudes about prosperity" content
ment," and making two blades Of
grass grow where one grew before"
Then came another Wilson-Wood-
row Wilson. Things began to change.
David F. Houston was made Secretary
Of Agriculture. For the first time in
the history of the Government, the
business problems Of the farmer re-
ceived the attentions Of his Govern
ment The Office Of Markets and
the Bureau OF Rural Organization were
created to help him break the strangle-
hold of entrenched monopoly. The
epoch-making Rural Credits Law was
passed by Woodrow Wilson and a
Democratic Congress. The power of
the usurer and extortioner was broken
when that Act was signed.
The farmer has good memory. He
does not forget his lifelong battle
with entrenched privilege-organized
and grown purse-proud during forty
years of Republican indifference and
misrule. He will not forget that 1t was

Russians Advancing on Mesopotamia

Petrograd, May lO.-The British
reverse at Kut.el.Amara. instead of
causing the Russians to abandon or
change their plans for invading Meso-
potamia, appears rather to have in
spired them with fresh incentive for
reaching one of the principal objec-

Since General Townshend's capitula
ion the Russians have made conspicu
Gus progress along the difficult roads
of the Persian mountain province
which borders Mesopotamia, and, ac.
cording to the latest information,
have strongly fortified Serinal-Kerind,
recently captured, and have driven the
Turks from another series of positions
far to the westward and close TO their
own frontier.
The main threat upon Mesopotamia,
however, consists not in this isolated
Persian expedition, which is far re.
moved from the other Caucasian arm.
les, but in the concerted Russian fef.
forts to drive the Turks southwark
from Mush in the direction of Diabekr.
This direction provides the shortest
route to the Bagdad Railway, the pos
session of which by the Russians
would, it is generally agreed here, be
equivalent to Turkish renunciation OF
Mesopotamia.

Fashion Always Show People Young and Slim Which Ought
COAL JUMPS UP
Patient Consumer Called on to Pay so
Cents More per Ton.

Burlington, May 10-As was to be
expected, the increase in wages paid
to the anthracite coal miners falls on
the ultimate consumer, and local deal
ers have advanced prices so cents per
ton. They say that such action could
not be helped since prices to them are
exactly 80 cents per ton above last
years cost
III this connection the Coal Trade
Journal of May said
Sense and sensibility have prevail
ed over pride and prejudice. A com
promise has been effected between the
members of the subcommittee rep
resenting the anthracite operators and
those of their employees belonging to
the U. NJ. w. Both sides to the con-
troversy are to be congratulated as to
the outcome Of what appeared to be
most serious situation. AS in all COM
promises concessions on both sides
have taken place and peace is now as
sured in this very important industry
for a period of four years. Increases
of wages have come about as was TO
be expected from the industrial condi-
tions in the United States at the pres
ent time. These increases naturally
mean something TO be added to the
price of coal over and above that
figure which is usually made when
the coal year opens with the first Of
April This is quite III line with what
has been suggested would be the case
and naturally comes as no surprise
either to those engaged 10 the handl.
ing of coal. either at wholesale or re-
tail, or to those who use this particu-
lar class of fuel. With such condi-
tion prevailing 1t remains to be deter
| mined if there will be economies in
the use of anthracite which may lead
to a lessened production. Upon this
question there is difference of opin-
ion among those who are we'll inform.
ed, but of this circumstance the fu-
ture must tell the tale.
Following the announcement of
the new anthracite wage agreement 1t
was stated on behalf Of the operators
| that the concessions granted would
| probably mean an increase of between
| 10000, 900 and $12OOOOOO annually in
the wages paid the mine workers
| Practically all of this amount will
have to be absorbed by the domestic
sizes, of which the shipments last
year aggregated 100000 gross tons
This would necessitate an advance in
price of % or 30 cents on these sizes
for the one item of higher wages, but
there have been many other increases
In the cost of mining which will also
have to be added to the selling price
"The operators have been hoping tC
avoid the necessity of actually raising
the circular price by changing the
sizes in such way that larger per
centage of the total output could b,
sold for domestic use. II remains t
be seen. however, if this plan will e
through at the present time. This vii
probably be decided in another weel
or two"
