THE FARMERS DAY is COMING.
He Will Be the Power and the Influ-
ence In the Land.

Washington. April 13.-An era of
the greatest prosperity ever known
to the United States and which will
be shared by all, was predicted by
Theodore N. Vail, president of the
American Telegraph and Telephone
Company, in an address here last
night before a special meeting of
the National Agricultural Society.
MIR. Vail based his view on the belief
that the small but productive farm,
and the small but prosperous far
mer, soon to be dominant in agricul-
ture, will bring about this prosperous
state.
The abundance of homes as
source of great national strength and
a noticeable trend toward country
life and country pursuits were point
ed out by Mr.. Vail. He also stated
that agriculture now offers probably
greatest opportunity for individual
success OF all the country's indus
tries, and that the farmer will be the
future power in the land. He said:
The strength Of 4 nation is in its
abundance Of homes--homes, though
of small size, Of abundance of COM
forts and plenty OF all that is essen
tial. We are on the threshold of
such an era. Country life and coun-
try pursuits have become more at
tractive and more profitable. Oppor.
tunities for moderate, but sufficient,
success are as great in rural pursuits
as in the great ceuters of industry,
while the comforts and even luxuries
that are now available in the country
put it on par with urban life, If not
superior. The rural home, with its
diversified production, will be re-
stored. The farmer will be the
power, the influence in the land.
ITO get all there is out of rural
life. the farmer must keep in close
touch with the world, should know
and understand what is going on in
the world, should understand the con-
ventions and organizations Of the
social, commercial and industrial
world, should not isolate himself and
become narrow, full of prejudices
and unintelligent conceits, as those
who live too closely by themselves
are apt to become.
Farmers must not allow any dem
agogue who promises everything, but
has never performed anything to in
fluence them and guide them into all
sorts Of plausible, hut impractical,
reforms which are impossible of full
filment and lead nowhere. Trust
should rest with those who have
demonstrated ability and honesty.
Votes and influence should not be
traded off for prom ises. Don't put
into the hands OF The untried the well
fare Of The community and the con-
troll of affairs either personal or pub
lie, the most valuable interests of the
community.
'"The day of the small but pro-
ductive farm and small but prosper
Gus farmer is coming, and with it
will come a country Of such prosper
ity, all having sufflciency, as never
was known"

 News of Death.

Ossipee, N. H., Jan. 6.-The de- fense in the trial of Frederick L.. Small for the murder of his wife. Mrs. Florence A. Small, today endeavored to emphasize the fact that 8 lock, with the bolt shot and the key on the inside was found in the ruins of the cottage. Arthur W.

AMERICAN ROUGHLY TREATED IN GREECE
Seized by Soldiers and Was Being
 Led Out for Execution
TROOPS STEAL HIS CASH
Official Inquiry and Indemnity Asked for By American Legation-FOOl Restrictions Approved Constan- tine Unable to Move.

London, Jan. 6, 8. m.-News de- spatches from Athens quote passages from a note presented to the Greek government on Dec. 24 by the Amer ican minister, detailing the case of an American citizen Basil Saff1s, who was arrested on Dec. 2 as 8 revolu- tionary by Greek soldiers. The sol- diers are said to have ignored Safflis' Am erican passports and to have taken 3,53s fEancs from his pocket. although after examination he was liberated.
 As quoted the note described how Saff1s left his dwelling to buy food when he was seized, despite his pro- testations and the production of his passport and taken before a high officer who refused to hear him and ordered the soldiers to take him away.
 Saffis soon realized that he was being taken out of the city and from jests exchanged between his escorts and various passing patrols realized that he was about to be executed. He implored his guards not to put him to death, but, according to the de- spatch, he was forced along with blows from fists and the butts of rifles until they were outside the city when an orderly overlook them and ordered that Saffis be taken back to the barracks. Here he was examined by several officers who. being con- vinced of his nationality, ordered him released.
 According to the despatch the note stated that Saff1s was in no way con- nected with Greek politics and was about to start for America when ar rested. The legation delayed taking up the matter with the government, the despatch says, until convinced of the truth of the mans story and now asks for the restoration of his money and an official inquiry.
