Nkg8gHlN to-day is agriculture. as
ag2D it enters into the lives of
the people to-day more than any
one thing in the world. in fact you
might say that it is the main
artery through which flows the
very existence of the human race.
It has more to do with the pros
perty of a state or country than
any other known industry, and it
is we'll known fact that where
ever you find a community where
the inhabitants are engoged in
agricultural pursuits, you will al
ways find a prosperous neighbor-
hood, and a contented and intelli-
gent class of people.
Up to the beginning of the
eighteenth century agriculture
was frowned upon by most people
as an undesirable occupation owing
chiefly, | presume, for the proper
machinery to till the soil, and was
only resorted too, by a few of the
people when all other means of a
livelihood had failed. But to-day
with the modern machinery in
vented for this purpose, with agri-
cultural colleges established and
maintained by the different states
for the education of those who
desire thorough learning in the
methods of cultivating the soil. not
to mention the valuable lectures,
help from the county agent en-
ployed for that purpose. the help
full suggestions obtained from
countless magazines and papers
that deal exclusively with farm
life. makes agricultural industry
not only one of the greatest sub.
jects in the world today but also
one of the grandest occupations
that a person can engage in.
Money is a subject that is most
important and leading factor in the
prosperity of all civilized coun-
tries, and more or less comes in
daily contact with the lives of all
people. In fact through this
medium is recognized the financial
value of all business transactions,
and is the foundation or back bone
of all industries. Without its use
it would be difficult for any nation
to ascertain its financial worth or
for one person or nation to trans
act business with another. In fact
currency is the medium by which
one individual or nation is recog-
! nized by another as regards their
financial condition.
One of the most interesting sub
jects of today, a subject that is
holding the attention of the peo-
ole the world over is amusement.
Something to entertain the people
and divert their attention from the
work and toll of the day and act
as rest cure for strained nerves.
A means of enjoyment where a
person may 60 and for the time
being forget every thing pertain
ing to his business cares and live
in an atmosphere of enjoyment,
the proof that the people realize
the Importance of this is vouched
safed in their willing cooperation
in any movement to better that
line that may be advanced. Of
late years, the subject of play
for children have been taken up
by the people of most large cities
and ground for that purpose has
been set aside and in a great many
instances large donations from pri-
vate individuals have been given to
further help the enterprise along.
During the late war the good de-
rived from entertainment for the
boys in the trenches was seen and
was introduced by several societies
and organizations formed for that
purpose, and the result was that
the soldiers and marines, in fact all
branches of the service could for
