10 farm successfully as it does for
almost any other business or occH-
patton
But in order to get the best re-
sults. or even to succeed, one must
BE- prepared and know how to use
improved farm machinery. The
time has past when YOU could take
mule and scooter pillow ami freak
your land, you can't 90 i with The
Dixie nor even the two-horse pillow,
all of these'a are too slow, II niust be
done with TRACTORS and gang
pIows and lie cultiyating with cu'-
tivators that will take one or more
rows at time.
But this cannot be done until the
land has been cleared There are
thousands Of acres Of farms IN tins
country that have been pIowcd oHer
and cultivated at, that have never
been really cleared the trees haye
been cut of and the smaller stumps
and roots have rotted out; but the
thousands Of stumps, some OF which
would not rot ont for q century,
have been left to drag the pillow
around, to make a grass patch from
five to fifteen feet across, to- break
pillow tools and TO take up ground
that ought to be producing some
thing. But the best farmers are
making some efforts to get the
stumps cleared off Of the fields, but
how to get them out with the least
effort and expense has been ques-
ton with them. There are many
stump pullers that will pull them
mp successfully but then the hole Is
to be filled and the stump split up
so il can be moved out OF the field.
Burning them out is a slow process
and does not always get the roots
out OF the way of the pillow. Then
fuel is becoming too scarce in this
country to burn them in the field,
they are worth from five to ten
dollars per chord for fuel.
The DUPONT Powder Company
has had demonstration, Mr. w. B.
Afford, in this county two days this
week showing the method of taking
them out with dynamite, which
seems to be the most economical.
We went ont both days and watch
ed the demonstration, not only Of
blowing up stumps but ditching
with dynamite as well, and both
proved to be u success.
Mr.. Afford showed that stumps
could be taken out al a cost of from
eight to twenty cents each, accord
ing to size, and then they are split
up ready for fuel He also showed
that ditch five feet wide and four
feet deep could be cut for about ten
cents running foot.
Mr.. Afford is coming back to this
county in a few days and it would
be well for the farmers to witness
these demonstrations.

sight into the labyrinthian paths Of
service he frequently embarks on.
And what a bewildering medley of ex-
periences our social condition offer for
useful endeavor! Too often, alas, life

he binds the wound, soothes the sor.
rowing heart, feeds the hungry,
clothes the naked, gives cover to the
shelterless, defends the innocent, and
encourages the dropping spirits; in q
word, brings light and sunshine all
about him. All, what a joy fills his
heart realizing the unremunerative
service he renders his fellow-men!
Furthermore, perhaps is no other
profession is it possible to become so
nearly part Of the lives Of others az
in the ministry. Both in moments Of
gladness and Of sadness the rabbi en-.
tiers into the hearts of his congregants
Thus, when he confirms the young az

feels as close to them as TO his very

not but feel peculiarly close relation.
ship. The same is true in the case Of
weddings. He is by far more than the
religious functionary. In some sub.
tie manner, he enters into the very
lives Of the happy couple and Of their
parents. He rejoices in their JOY and
feels keenly for their happiness. Con-
trariwise, his heart is torn when
dear one in the congregation is taken
away. He mourns with the bereaved
and sorrows with the suffering. In
sickness and in trouble he is the gen.
uine friend, lovingly watching over
those in distress. In word, to no 9TH
er one is the privilege accorded to en-.
ter so fully into the hearts and lives
OF others on all occasions Of Joy or
sorrow, as to the earnest minister who
labors zealously for the welfare Of the
congregation.

Nor must one ignore the privilege
Of being recognized at all times as q
man Of standing. Wherever the rabbi
turns, the dignity Of his office be-
slows on his certain charm. From
time immemorial the religious guide
was looked upon as a man Of lofty
motives and ideals, and this social ira
dition is too deeply ingrained among
all not to consider the rabbi at least
as man Of some worth. Accordingly.
in all his relationships, in his relig-
ious, social and communal activites,he
is ordinarily met with respect and
honor. In no spirit Of levity, but rather
Of genuine truth, it may be said that
at a wedding, for instance, the rabbi
occupies, even more than the groom,
the place Of Importance next TO the
bride. This is no small distinction in
an age like ours when religion is TAX.
en- lightly. And in social, civil and
communal matters that he may be tax
ing q part, he is invaribly receievd
with esteem and regard, as the repre-
sentative Of an ancient and honored
calling, and as one generally recog-
nized as worthy Of more than every
day consideration.
Moreover, TO the rabbi as spokesman
and representative Of his people, the
privilege is ever accorded to partici-
pate in public efforts making for the
welfare Of his fellowmen. The educa-
tionl and the philanthropic agencies
invariably call on him to lend what
ever ability or influence he may pos
sess to the furtherance Of their aims.
Organizations aiming at the better
ment OF the life Of the community usu-
ally enlist his interests. Even without
any effort or his part, his very posi-
ton makes Of him the man Of repre-
sentative character. He thus stands
out as n factor in the larger life about
him, favorably knowns as a man Of
public spiritedness, and generally rec
ognized as a important citizen.

Rabbinical Pleasures and Satisfaction.

and the bad, the bitter and the sweet.
the pleasant and the unpleasant.
Rarely does one find in life's expert.
ences the good or the bad entirely
separate and alone. Even such a ca
lamity like war has a modicum Of
good in it, for there is soul of good
in things evil. And conversely, in
every manifestation of good, there is
frequently involved an element Of
evil. Life is so constituted that the
two opposites blend into one another.
The two extremes meet.
This general observation may be
applied to mans vocations. No occu-
patton has a monopoly either on the
favorable or on the unfavorable ex-
periences No profession offers either
bed of roses or a road Of thorns.
Whatever life work one selects one is
bound to find in it discouragements
and disappointments as well as pleas.
ures and satisfaction. Life's tasks and
duties furnish both aspects woven to-
gether. Pleasant and unpleasant fea-
lures are combined in every calling.
There are but the sides Of the medal.
The rabbinate is no exception to
this rule. Undoubtedly, it is one Of
the most exacting and difficult of pro-
LESSONS. Though this may not be ap.
preciated by the laity, it is a fact
nonetheless. Like all other pursuits
serving the public, the ministry furn-
ishes many unpleasantnesses, as we
have seen in our former essay. The
chronic complaints, the carping crit.
cism, and the incessant fault-fnding,
certainly constitute a discouraging
element. And undoubtedly there are
other bad features in the rabbinical
office, so that the average layman
does not look favorably at it. Never
theless, there is more than one pleas.
ant aspect to the profession. In GER
tain ways the rabbi is even to be en-
We'd. From many a point Of view his
life Is blessing all around him.
There is so much good in his work re-
sulting in happiness, genuine pleas
ure and satisfaction that it more than
offsets the unpleasant features Of his
calling.
The crux Of the matter is that now
adays one frequently measures sue
cess solely in terms Of dollars. From
the point Of view Of economic returns
the Jewish ministry may not be en-
tirely alluring. Although the rabbits
work requires years Of patient prep
aration, and although his duties are
exacting and manifold, the literary ge-
MUS who is to coin the epigram, "as
rich as the rabbi" is yet to be born.
The rabbi may live long enough to be
rich in years, in services to his fel.
low-men, and in the harvest of bless
ings, but rarely, IL ever, rich in world
ly goods. He may be, and frequently
Is. comfortably situated, yet those
who make wealth their criterion Of
success, will not find his life their
ideal. Measured by financial returns,
the Jewish ministry is not altogether
what Is ought to be.
But "man does not live by bread
alone" There are other human val
ues quite rs important in the making
Of life. A phenomenon as complex as
life cannot be made up Of one ingredi.
ent; and the absorbing material out.
look should not warp our vision in
appraising the realities Of our being.

BURNING OPIUM
IN SHANGAM
$24,OOO.OOO Blaze De-
stroyed Large Cache
Of Opium
AN EYE WITNESS
]. D. Gillian

The government of China is
divided between two factions, the
legal rulers of the north, their capital
in Picking, and the pseudo governors
of the south with their headquarters
in Canton.
The Pekingese have endeavored by
every means in their power to stamp
out and utterly destroy the opium
traffic in all the land, but there are
so many opponents that it is prov
ing a difficult matter. By the state
the planting Of the poppy and the
possession of the opium are both
punisha yet the southern forces
are fighting against this method OF
reform with much poweI. They are
strongly supported in their plain out
lawry by the Japanese and others
who are smuggling the drug over the
widely extended border continually.
Recently there was captured a
large cache of opium; the govern
ment paid the owners for it and after
quite lot of discussion and waiting
it was decided to destroy it at one
burning.
AS a foreigner and an American.
l was asked to become witness of
the wholesale holocaust in the city of
Shanghai. The cache was taken to
a large building where in the pres
ence of many picked witnesses the
cases containing it were opened.
There were 1907 of these boxes, each
containing forty balls; each ball was
valued at $500, so that the value of
hn VIyoc eO0.A00 Tho total
value was $24,140,O0O. After care
full examination of all these 1907
cases they were taken across the
river to the city of Poo-tung and
there in furnaces specially prepared
for them they were publicly con-
sumed. Persons standing on the
Shanghai side of the great Whangpoo
river could see the white smoke of
the $24,000,000 fire rolling heaven
ward for they had been built high |
enough to prevent the fumes sicken-
ing any who ventured too near.
Speaking of the Chinese north and |
south there is very notable diff
ference; they of the north being tall |
and we'll built, they of the south be-
ing stocky and much shorter. The |
ones we see in America as laborers |
are mainly the southern people. The
hatred between them of each part of |
the land is considerable. Sun Vat |
Sen and WI Ting Fang, names we'll |
known and perhaps the best or most
widely known of all Chinese by our
Americans, are the distinguished |
leaders of the factions of the south,
and as such are both cordially hated |
and feared by them of the north.
These leaders are encouraging the
people in continuing in the cultiva-
tion of the poppy in the south, where +
i saw it in their fields last Christmas
time near Hong Kong.
So, while it is understood that the
opium traffic is dead in China, it is
thus seen how it is likely to become
standard crop as formerly unless
there is good hand governing the
Republic of China. Japan is assist
ing the southerners in their rebellion
and in many ways working havoc
with ediots and laws. The Japanese
is considered an element of actual
danger in the Celestial land
