A Hint to the Aged.

If people past sixty years Of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or, two days, they would
recover much more quickly, especially
if they take 2Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also be less
danger of the cold being followed by
any OF the more serious Diseases

FOR EFFICIENCY IN FARMING
Big Corporations Might Succeed, but
at Expense of Nations
Foundation.

A dream of the day when American
farming shall be taken from the hands
Of the small bungling farmer, and put
into large business hands of high eff
cheney was spread before the Mime
sofa conference on rural life by Presi-
dent Vincent. He sees the farm lands
operated scientifically and in large
units by corporate owners, the farm
home converted into modern city
home, machinery Tightening both labor
and transportation, and factories utiliz-
ing the farmers time that now is
wasted in wet and chilly weather.
The saving under consolidated man
agement of material that now is
wasted under unframed individual
ownership might support one-third
larger population in greater comfort
than at present. We are the most
wasteful of peoples in the north tenn
perate zone, and the time will soon
come when the average American will
be compelled to adopt wiser methods
of dealing with his land or give up his
land.
But to take over the farnl-oWning
fraction of the American people, hire
it, think for it, house and care for it,
manage and market its goods, would
be to lose an educative force with
which the nation can i'll afford to part.
The sense of ownership distributed
among many individuals has been an
element Of moral strength that has
proved dependable in time of great ma
tional stress.-Minneapolis Journal.

We are a little too suspicious ana
cynical TO regard the resurrection OF
The kingdom OF Poland by Germany
and Austria as a wholly unselhsh ana
humanitarian act, in spite OF reports
that the Poles in Poland are showing
confidence in and gratitude for their
rehabilitation as an autonomous state.
We hope their confidence Is not mis-
placed and that the action OF the Two
Kaisers is not merely 40 insincere pc
litical trick for the purpose OF giving
the Central Powers some sort OF au'
thority to force the Poles into their
armies.
Talk OF recognition OF the new 10
land as de facto nation by the United
States government is entirely prema
ture. 1t will be time enough to recog-
nize a Poland created by one set OF be-
ligerents in the present war when time
has demonstrated that the act was not
a war measure pure and simple and
when, after peace has been declared
the map of Europe has been redrawn'
on something like a permanent basis
American sympathies will continue,
Of course, as they have always been,
with prosecuted Poland, and Amerl'
cans will sincerely hope that the day
is not distant when the 25,0O0,ooo
people of this nationality will have
real not merely ostensible, govern
ment of their own. An independent
Poland, not a Poland controlled by
Russia nor q Poland controlled by Ger
many, is a goal which this down-trod-
den but freedom loving race will never
be wholly satisfied unit it has reached.

Thanksgiving.

Probably In remote rural districts the
spirit OF Thanksgiving in its original
simplicity remains. Farmers are closer
TO nature than we are in the city. They
have good reason to be thankful II
their crops are a success. They are
like the New England fathers in that
respect, and while in these more pros
porous days OF agriculture one expects
something more than scanty living
from the soil, the farmer, we believe is
devoutly grateful for the good things in
life. He is indebted really TO the Max
er for the sunshine that has ripened
his harvest, and for the rains that have
watered it.
But city life is artificial. The battle
is not so much with the forces OF ma
ture but with men. We expect more
than we receive and feel injured when
we do not receive more. We are In
cined to thank ourselves for our sue
cesses, or TO consider ourselves lucky
when good fortune comes our way.
Thanksgiving for us is day OF feast
ing rather than OF prayer. We dine
at the cafe instead of around the fam
ily board at home. There is no bless
ing pronounced oyer the turkey. We
have lost our faculty for giving thanks.
Lest we forgetl We can at least
make someone less fortunate than
ourselves thankful and in doing SO
may feel in some measure the spirit

That American Plan,

Some Philadelphia paper reused up
once TO record this dialogue: "Well,
she makes him good wife, doesn't
she?' "Yes, indeed, and she makes him
a good husband, too" That's another
angle on the modern American scheme
Gf there Is one y of family life. We
are all accustomed to seeing the wife
determine where the family is to live,
what church they are to go to, where
the children are to get their schooling,
what lines of work the boys are to
take up, what chances the girls are to
have ct getting married Except in so
far as the younger women may have
say themselves), what standard of liv-
ing the family Is to maintain, etc, etc,
but It's rather a shock to be told, even

Democratic tariff making, is shared by
many men oflarge business experience
The sudden ending OF war in Europe
would be an event SO fortunate to the
world that few Americans would look
upon it as unfortunate merely because
OF the stoppage Of war orders. Busl-
ness would adjust itself to new condl'
tons, gradually no doubt but surely
and it would be shown that Democra-
tic Administration is not wrecker OF
prosperity. Democrats will hope for An
early ending of the war and the early
beginning OF demonstration OF the ef-
feet of Democratic Government In
times of peace. Nobody--not even the
Republican who is predicting catastro-
phe when the war ends-is afraid OF
peace in Europe and Wilson in the

Affected SLIGHTLY BY SEA
General Opinion That Tides Have
More or Less Influence Over
Flowing Wells.

In their investigation of the under
ground water resources of the coastal
plain of Virginia, the biologists of the
United States geological survey have
collected data relating to many hun
dreds of artasian wells that yield eX-
cellent waters. The variation in flow
exhibited by these wells with the rise
and fall of the tide is of peculiar inter-
est, the flow being notably greater at
the flood than at the ebb tide. 1t is
the general opinion among well drill
ers that practically all flowing wells
near tidal rivers or inlets from open
bays do feel the distant sea, but some
of them so slightly that the variation
in flow is not noticeable. The geolo-
gist in charge Of the ground-water In
vestigations in Virginia states that
changes in water level in wells due
to fluctuations in the height of the sur
face of some neighboring body of wa
ter, have been observed all over the
world. 1t is customary to explain
these changes by supposing a direct
connection between the river, lake or
bay; but in many places, as in east
ern Virginia, such connection is clear
ly impossible, owing to the depth of
the wells and the nature of the in
tervening beds, some of them dense,
tough marls and clays. These beds,
however, though they do not transmit
water, nevertheless contain it, and as
water is practically incompressible,
any variation of level on the river or
bay is transmitted to the well through
the water-filled gravels, sands clays,
and marls. When porous bed is
tapped by well the water rises to the
point of equilibrium and tluctuates as
the hand of the ocean varies its pres
sure on the beds that contine the ar
tesian flow.

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER l6, 1916.

The result OF last weeks election
though close is definite and decisive
enough TO be gratifying TO those, IKE
us, who believed that the reelection
of President Wilson was requisite for
the best interests OF the country, both
in domestic matters and in our foreign
relations. Mr.. Wilson has an ample
plurality both in the electoral college
and in the popular vote. And his cleo
ton without the help Of the populous
Northern and Eastern states is in effect
a new declaration OF independence
No other candidate has lost New
York, Indiana and Illinois and still
been elected. 1t has been an axiom
in politics which none was bold
enough TO dispute that generous snare
OF the electoral votes OF these three
"pivotal" states was essential TO sue
cess. II was conceivable that can
didate might lose New York with It's
as electoral votes and yet be successful
II he captured Illinois and Indiana with
their co.. blned a, but that a candidate
could lose all of the 80 electoral votes
Of these three great commemorative
and still be the choice of majority OF
the electoral college was never dream
ed Of. The election Df Mr.. Wilson this
year has overturned the old theory and
has demolished the fancied supremacy
OF the big states OF the East and Mid
die West In the politics OF the country
The Far West and the South have
Joined hands for the vindication OF
democracy.
1t is in no sectional spirit that we
rejoice at the evidence thus presented
OF the potency of the West and South
working In unison. 1t is high time
that the politicians and plutocrats OF
the East awoke TO the fact that New
York, Pennsylvania and New England
are not America Too long have they
subordinated other sections OF this
great country to the selfish interests
OF small radius, with Wall street as
its center. Too long have they oper-
ated on the theory that the government
OF the United States should be Admin
istered Tor the profit and gloriiicaSion
OF themselves, and that incidental ben
eff Is as tr ckled through them to the
masses we're ample recompense for the
votes that kept them in power.
IL would have been calamity for
this country had Mr.. Wilson been de-
ieated for reelection, because OF the
grave effect upon our foreign relations
which his apparent reputation by
his countrymen would have. But en-
tirely aside from that phase OF the
matter, and aside even from the reac-
ton TO Bourbonism and special privi-
lege which the election OF Mr., Hughes
would have Insured In domestic affairs,
tho triumph of President Wilson by
the votes of the West and the South Is
matter for congratulation and jubila-
ton for the wholesome effect it will
have upon the East, too long afflicted
with swollen sense Of its own polti
cal Importance.
