ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

Saturday, March II, is st. Patrick's
Day the world over. The day recalls
to all and to the Irish especially the
Celtic Trinity.
The fact must never be forgotten by
Irishmen that, like the shamrock, ST.
Patrick's Day stands for three things
pre-eminently. Aristotle, the greatest
philosopher of any age, although a
pagan, long ago observed that the
trinity exists through all nature. The
heavens, the earth and that which he
designated space, are three; and the
trine exists in literature, art, logic and
philosophy itself. Man himself is a
trinity, composed of soul, mind and
body. The Celtic trinity, which ST.
Patrick's Day recalls, is religion,
nationalism and advance. The Celt was
religious before he became Christian
Religion is a part of his nature. He
cannot shake it Off He must not try.
In doing so he would destroy himself
as human being The Celt has always
been intensely patriotic. He always
will be. Patriotism, like religion is O
part of his nature.

Open April lst
Preparatory Work of Committees
~ Is Progressing Nicely.

The Union Evangelistic Meetings con-
Quoted by the Loose Party will begin
Sunday, April lst, instead OF Mar. 25,
as previously announced. This is the
date that was asked for in the beginning,
and the Committee in charge are glad
that arrangements are now completed,
AID that the later date is secured.
Various Committees having charge
of the details OF the work are already
at work, and everything seems to be
moving smoothly. Prayer meetings are
being held in homes in different parts
of the city. Elsewhere in this paper is
the announcements in regard to these
meetings next week.
All Church organizations have sus-
pended their meetings during the
month of April, and the Executive
Committee OF the Campaign is asking
the different Women'S Clubs to do the
same. The Lodges OF the city are also
being asked to join in this movement,
so as to give the meetings in the Tenn
pie Theatre the right of way for April.
Next week we expect to publish a
full list of all the Committees. The
men and women who are acting on the
different committees are guarantee
to the community OF the character Of
the work.

INTENSIVE VERSUS
EXTENSIVE FARMING

The magazines, newspapers and some
farm journals are having a good deal to
say these days on the subject of In.
tensive Farming. They have been
urging the American farmer to increase
his yield per acre. Some Of these
publications have made inviduous COM
parsons between the German and the
American farmer and have cited the
larger acre yield OF Germany as con-
vincing reason why our farmers should
adopt the intensive farming methods OF
Europe.
The general trend of these articles
has led the man in the street to believe
that the American farmer is inefficient
and incompetent.
These writer's either forget or ignore
the very radical differences in condi-
tions that exist in Germany and with
us. The fact is, that taking him by and
large, the American farmer is by far
the most competent agriculturist in the
world today Statistics show that he
produces the greatest yield per unit of
producers.
His total average product is more
than three times as much per man as
the German.
The term Intensive Farming implies
well supplied labor market. II the
writers referred to above had only
taken the pains to consult any farmer,
he would Immediately have upset their
argument by the statement of simple
fact, viz, that it is next to impossible
to get any more labor than he now EN-.
ploys.
If our condition was like that Of Ger
many, with our present population
crowded into an area twice the size OF
Texas, then we would be forced to
adopt intensive farming methods; but
when we have one hundred million
people scattered over these United
States Of ours then extensive farming
must necessarily prevail, for the SIM
pie reason that il is the most profitable
AS one writer has very we'll said:
"The American farmer, considering the
present supply and price of farm labor
is practising correct systems of produc-
ton, and is doing better than any other
agriculturist in the world"

1.-THE COMMON LAW"
AT Temple Theatre Next
Tuesday, Mar. 10th.

OF all the film productions announced
none has aroused greater interest
among the millions OF motion picture
fans than the presentation Of that
beautiful and tremendously popular
star, Clara Kimball Young in six-reel
adaptation OF Robert w. Chambers
world-famous novel "The Common
Law" which will be seen at the Tenn
pie Theatre, on Tuesday Mar. Goth. In
addition to the interesting combination
OF fayorite star and favorite American
author the production is particularly
worthy as the first offering of the
Clara Kimball Young Film Corporation,
organized by Mr.. Lewis j. Selznick for
the purpose of presenting the noted
screen star on the open-booking plan,
free from the restraining influence OF a
program system.
This picture was produced under the
guidance of her Director General,
Albert Capellani, the famous French
master Of screencraft who is best
known to American picture followers
as the producer of such illustrious fea-
ture plays as LES Miserables" and
Camille" II is expected that the pic
ture will set new mark for novel and
artistic Photographic effects as well as
for breadth and power in action.
The star has been surrounded by a
cast of players of the highest order.
The leading male role has been en-
trusted to Mr. Conway Tearle, for years
one of the best known and most popu-
lar of the leading men on the American
stage Paul Capellani, who played
Armand to Miss Young's Camille, will
be seen in the role of Querida, the
villain" Miss Edna Hunter, long a
favorite with Universal and Vitagraph
followers, plays the sympathetic part Of
Rita" and Miss Lillian Cook, formerly
with World Film productions, lends
her charming personality to the por-
trayal of the ingenue part. Others in
the cast include Julia Stuart, Edward
Kimball, Lydia Knott, ID. j. Flanagan
and Edward Mortimer.
The story OF 'The Common Law"
has been changed very little in its
adoption to screen requirements. The
millions who haye read the Chambers
novel and thrilled with sympathetic
solicitude for its heroine, will find the
picturized version even more TO their
liking, while those who have never
read the story will enjoy the picture
for its own sake as one OF the few
worthwhile film production OF the
wear.

EDUCATE MORE FARMERS.

II is coming to be recognized as a
most obvious fact that if We as people
are to again put our country on an
equitable living basis we must educate
more farmers. Not educate more
farmer boys for professions, but educate
more Boys for Farmers.
From the incipiency OF the public
school up to within the last decade the
entire trend Of education has been
away from the farm and toward the
professions. Even the manual training
schools have tended to swell the ranks
of the mechanical trades at the expense
of the farms.
No nation can achieve permanent
prosperity without great and prosper
GUS farming class. When the farm de-
Gays the nation deteriorates. Our
farms are the very life and heart of
our country.
Some, though, may ask how we are
to educate more farmers.
Very simple. Make every free school
in the laud primarily an agricultural
school, and literary school as a Sec
ondary matter. Bellies letters is not
the crowning necessity of existence.
Bread and meat are. Educate the youth
of the land first toward that which is
most vitality necessary to our national
life, and when this is accomplished, if
there be leisure and means for adding
the frills, let them be added
Nine out of every high school pupils
on emerging from that school enter the
ranks OF the toiers, in some depart
ment or other. II in their education
the farm has not only been made at
tractive to them, but they have been
given thorough and practical knowl-
edge of its workings, then large per
cent OF them will as matter of course
choose that as their occupation in life.
When war broke out between the
allies and the central powers the world
stood amazed at the wonderful perfec-
tion OF the German military machine.
But the cause behind it was as simple
as A, b, c. Every German youth had
been educated and trained as soldier
First of All-after that for a vocation.
But in time war will cease. The arts
of peace will again demand the atten-
ton and energies of the world, and
among them there is none to compare
with the great art of coaxing from
Mother Earth her golden harvests.
But, you may ask, if all OF the boys
are educated to farmers life, what OF
the professions?
There will always be some who, by
natural fitness, will gravitate to the
professions, enough to keep their ranks
recruited. AS a matter of fact, these
same professions could spare half of
their present members and not suffer
in the least.
Educate farmers! The farms are
suffering for them, and the professions
and trades are overburdened with
them.
