The average farm is too small and
the land too rough, however, to JUS
tify many farmers in buying ma
chine, is the one and only argument
against the use of the tractor i'm this
county, they say. This objection is
at least partially met by the argu-
ment, that the tractor can be readily
used for number of other purposes
on the farm than breaking land. Here
is Il suggestion: Would it not be
paying investment for several farm
ers to club together and buy ma
chine? If not this, let some man buy
a machine and run il for the benefit
of the community, at so much day,
or per acre? The tractor, it is believ-
ed, like the automobile, has come, to
stay. Just rs the horse and buggy
became too slow and tedious, so will
the old custom become on many
farms, of blowing with horses-a
slow and a heavy work.

NOT DEAD, ONLY SLEEPING.

The Democratic party in this coun-
ty is only dormant for the time being
hot dead. Democratic principles are
MS immortal as the principles of the
Ten Commandments. This year there
will be no contests in the county for
any Office. The party is IN no con-
dition 10 vote its strength at the Mo-
vcmber election. Poll taxes have not
been paid. There is no organizatio,
and so, the Democrats will let the
oilce-hungry crowd on the other
side have clear field, and will get
in shape for the future The new
chairman has job on his hands to
collect and organize the scattered
forces of the historic old party, and
to stir its fighting blood Whether or
not he can deliver the goods remains
to be seen. He certainly thinks he
can-the Committee thinks the same,
else he would not be in the Office of
county Chairman. He should have the
support of the entire party to Il man.
No, the party is not dead in the
county. lf~indiffercncc squabbling,
talk, etc, could kill il, it would have
been dead long ago. The party
Woodrow Wilson will never die. The
sun never sets upon the devotccs of

THE STRIKERS BOOMERANG.

1t is an age-old principle that sup
ply and demand determines prices.
Scarcity of any commodity means
that higher price will be placed
upon the commodity. The cure for
high prices is production. Any thing
whatsoever that limits, curtails or
prevents production, cause scarcity
and hence an increase iii prices.
When employees strike for shorter
hours, or stop work entirely they cut
down production, and this causes the
strikers themselves to pay higher
prices, as well rs other people.
If the above be Il true statement
of facts is it not also true, that the
workmcn who are complaining of the
high cost of living, and demanding
higher wages, can lower the cost of
Ewing and at the same time increase
the purchasing value OF their wages,
by doing all in their power to pro-
duce. The more or less, they produce,
the greater of less, the purchasing
power of their wages. But the Union
don't seem to see this phase of the
subject. How on earth can they low
cr the cost of living by quitting work
on by getting higher wages if goods
etc. are scarce.

THE GOVERNMENTS CRIME.

A day or so ago we saw citizen
of this town buy 1000 stamped and
printed envelopes, in the post office
here, for which he paid $2l.I4. The
stamps, at cents, cost $40 90, which
left $1.44 for the 1000 envelopes, with
the firms card printed on the corner.
No censure for the purchaser of the
envelopes. Every man has the right
to buy where he can buy the cheapest.
But why will the government COLI
tinue this practice which is robhirg
the printers of the county of daily
bread? If it isn't crime it doesn't
not lack much of it. The government
runs its own printing Office; has high
salaried employees, and can furnish
and print 1000 envelopes for $I.44
delivered. There is no profit in the
job to the government except the
sale of the stamps. Then why does
the government continue this act of
robbery? The people (including the
prlnters,) support by taxation, the
printing office in Washington, also
pay for the delivery of the cnve-
'opes to the purchaser, through the
post office. If this is square deal
to the printers of the country, then
we don't know stealing and robbery
when we see ii. At the same time
here comes the departments, bureaus
etc with continuous stream of prop
uganda, of one kind and another.
with request that the same he "in
serted in the columns of your paper"
free of charge, of course. AT the
same time an opposition printing of
flee is being conducted daily in Wash
ington, robbing the printers of rev
enue.
In the meantime, for years the
Senators and Representatives, many
of them, if not all of them, were
helped on their way to Washington
through the influence of these same
printing offices, go steadily on their
way without so much as lifting IL
finger for legislation favorable t,
newspapers, so far as known to this
writer.
The country newspapers have been
the "hack horses" of the government
from time immemorial almost, and
1t is about time there was change.
We were about to say that the coun-
try publishers ought to strike but
perhaps had best not say it.
However, we know of one country
weekly that has about reached the
limit of endurance, and patience, and
is now considering the purchase of
a larger waste basket and another
waste paper baler.

THAT kLU KLUX STORY.

Enlistment and the erection of prop
or monuments over all the caves.
Discussion of this" subject starts
up anew with frequency somewhat
mysterious as there seems to be
nothing like or approaching general
demand here in the United States for
the bringing back of our dead, and
not Il few of their relatives and men,
bers of their families have manifest
ed sometimes willingness and some
times wish that the colossal task
of removal be not attempted.
Its undertaking has in its favor, in
deed, little more than the argument
of custom as hitherto followed by
our Government. In this case, how
ever, the circumstances are withou,
precedent, and our relations with
France, as with England, are such
as to give sufficient warrant for a
break with the old custom. In the
soil of either, our dead will not be
far from home except by distance.

And | have no place to lie down.
You have asked me how long I've
been travelling.
And living this kind of life?-
! will tell you my story, kind mister,
AS it pains my heart like II knife
On the eighth day of last October,
We started drive on hill,
With troops that were tired and
hungry
And they fought to capture or kill.
1t was in the Argonne Forest when,
The shrapnel was bursting all round,
| saw that my comrade was wounded,
With his face turned down on the
ground.
AS / leaned on my long, trusty rifle,
! turned the poor boy on his side,
And with quivering lips he whis-
pered,
Gil iiiolici WIS True I'LL uleu.
Thru. the tree tops the cold wind
whispered,
And with cold was chilled to the
bone,
l turned my poor dying comrade,
who said,
Goodbye, old boy, I am gone"
Over the top we went tired, hungry,
Thru jungles we fought like hound,
For the stars in Old Glory, like
heaven,
No nation can ever pull down,
1t was the last night we stayed in
the trenches,
The battalion was growing small,
And cast my eyes to'ard heaven,
Saying, chow did | live thru it att 2"
| am sure there's a God in heaven,
In whom | was taught to believe,

The dom which he ougth to receiv.
