| That's truth which applies not only to the general attitude regarding 1 lynch law, but most emphatically to 1 the general attitude of too many farm CTS regarding farm management and | farm work.
 It is worth any farmers while to take a day off,-a rainy day, that is,-' and spend some part of it refecting on the seemingly abstract but highly practical thesis that every result has it's cause.
 We've talked, more or less, lately, about symptoms and diseases. We've . laughed at the silly fatuity of those who attempt to doctor mere symp- toms, instead of trying to remove the cause which produces them. The disease. whatever it may be. is the cause of the symptom But the truly. Cure the disease? Why, of course, if you can. But the mandate of wisdonl,-ald by wisdom i I mean just plain, common, horse sense-is to search out the cause of the disease and remove that.
 Now, apply that same horse sense to farming operations. There isn't a single mishap which comes to us the whole season. through which hadn't it's producing cause. There isn't single crop failure which we meet Wl!'ct hadn't its producing cause. There isn't a single loss which we in cur which hadn't it's producing cause i Potato bugs don't hatch out til after the eggs have been laid. The 1 eggs can't be laid unless there are old bugs to lay them. We know the cause of young potato bugs, sand we apply some one and some the other remedy to stop their destructive work. But who tries to stop the cause?
 Did you have a bad stand of corr it. Perhaps the seed wasn't fertile perhaps the ground was too cold perhaps it wasn't properly fitted ant fertilized: perhaps it hasn't beer adequately cultivated since coming up; perhaps the weather has been agains it. I don't know about any of these things.
 But I do know,-and so do you il you'u give your brains a chance that, whatever has happened, there was a cause for it. That cause may have been within your control, or il may not have been. If it wasn't, ther your skirts are clear and you can ge to bed without fear of a spindling NCcfAly, yClIOW4oI COAH lJdlCu ing responsibility through youl dreams.

VENTURE.

l ventured Just over the line to Jobe
Boshears, in Perry county. Somehow
| appear to be held on to rather tena-
ciously by old Pulaski county, and 1
must confess I am 10th to leave it,
even for a short while, for I have
rafnbled over her hills and valleys for
year and have learned to love them
and their people, but now in the edge
of Perry or Pulaski, I look due south
from my seat on pine stump, in an
old clearing, I see what looks like the
west end of mountain that extends
to my left, just above it appears the
end OF another mountain from my
right or the west, above that and lap
ping over a little is another mountain
from the east, then beyond them rises
another and towering beyond and
above all is another mountain which
looks like Brushy or Round Mountain.

A PROVED PROPHET.

The Wandering Fairy has proven
herself to be a true prophet. When I
dug up the crystal battleship I dug
up with it a very artistic crystal form
ing a perfect letter Y l thought that
it must be intended for some one
whose name commenced with Y, but
I could think of no such person. Now
that my headquarters are temporarily
at wye realize that the prophe
ey was for the town of Wye. AS that
part is fulfilled, so will the battleship
part be fulfilled and we will soon see
America victorious and recognized by
Germany and her allies as well as by
our own as a leader whom she must
acknowledge victorious.
