ger minded, finer moulded specie than
to linger in the depths of dispair ov-
er natures recent inclemency. A
loss now and then is all in the great
game of farming, which after all is a
mans game. And the beautiful sem
timent of it is expressed in the old
darkey's words, 81 jes don know if
de corn'll grow, but I plants hit jes
de same"
1t is this faith, this splendid coura-
geous hope that the next season will
be bountiful in its richness; that what
though the rain or the drought has
spoiled this crop, the next one will
be plentiful and munifcent, that
makes farming the first industry of
a country the faith of whose founders
overcame every imaginable hardship
of early settlement, and whose ideals
are founded on the comforting belief
that, Goods in His heaven, all's right
with the world"
Another sidelight on the question
shows that in intristic value, there is
hardly farmer in our county who is
not materially better off than he was
a year ago. Even in that length of
time, the value of his land has in
creased. His farm implements are
probably worth more than what he
paid for them, could not certainly be
duplicated for the same price His
livestock has also gained in valua-
tion.
The farmers are today the one
class in the country, who are respec-
ted and esteemed above all otehrs.
They do not. have to join any union.
By reason of their vocation they be-
long to the largest, the strongest
union of co-workers, a union of all
the public spirited, common sensed
citizens of the nation, banded togeth-
err by an mate feeling of brotherly
fellowship.
Yes sir, the farmer is the pet of
the nation today. All others bow
down in humblest reverence to the
Iller of the soil. Few farmers but
who could obtain substantial loan,
n dire necessity. Our government
las provided that in her Farm Loan
,lans and through her banks.
The farmer has come into his own.
And what though the clouds of dis
hover over the agricul-
ural interests of our country today,
When the. clouds are turned inside out
he bounties of Canaan will spring !,
rom the soil of old Henry, so why
worry?

INDIAN SUMMER.

We have this week been in the de.
lightful throes of Indian Summer
that pleasing respite from frost nip.
ping weather, that we enioy every
returning autumn, and of which our
foremost American nature poet
James Russell Lowell, whose centen-
airy has been observed this year, wri-
ties SO graphically in his, "An Indian
Summer Reverie," wherein he says:
"What visionary tints the year
When falling leaves falter thru
motionless air
Or numbly cling and shiver to be
gone!
How simmer the low flats and
pastures bare,
AS with her nectar, Hebe Au-
tumn fills
The bowl between me and those
distant hills,
And smiles, and shakes abroad
her misty, tremulous hair"
Truly has the songster applied the
epithets of visionary tints', motion
less air., and 'numbness" to Indian
Summer, that is characterized by an
almost cloudless sky, hazy atmos-
phere, mild temperature in the day
time, rather cool temperature at
night.
Another has called this span of
time, "the dead summers soul''. I'll

hood even in the face of the on-com-

adding their debris to the dust in
the prevailing dry atmosphere. The
summers soul is passing, and Mother
Earth, smiling thru the pleasant Wis
age of Indian Summer now lies peace
fully down for her long winters nap.
1t is the popular belief, that the
mild days, which compose Indian
Summer, were comfortingly predicted
by the Indians to the early settlers,
whom the first frosts found not en-
tirely ready with winter boards and
harvested crops. Hence the name
for these added days of grace. In
England, the season is known as GAIL
Hallow Summer" in Germany, as
"Old Woman's Summer" It is said
to occur also in China and Siam.

March Demands 100000
Men as Minimum Army

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-The opin-
ion of the army general staff and the
Administration is that peace-ti time
army of 100000 men is the minimum
necessary to care for the national in
terest. General March, chief Of staff,
declared to-day, correcting an inter-
pretation of his annual report, pub
lished Sunday. which placed the mini
mum at 100000. General March en-
phasized that he never had changed
his estimate of 100000 as the small est
upon which to rest the military power
Of the United States.
In his report General March recon-
mended one field army of FIVE corps
skeletonized to so per cent of it's
strength. Taking four divisions of &c.
600 men to a corps, such calculation
would result in 100000 men.
General March made it plain to-day
he was basing his estimbate on the
army corps completely organized with
all its elements for service. Five
corps on that basis would mean an
army in excess of 100000 men, which
skeetonized 80 per cent would make
the army of 100000

Battlefield Tourists
Expected to Swamp
Hotels of Europe
Lack of Accommodations
Will Cause Disappoint-
ment Unless Warming Is
Needed to Reserve Rooms

Americans who contemplate visiting
European battlefelds next spring or
summer should reserve hotel accommo-
datons we'll in advance or postpone
their journey until housing conditions
are more favorable, according to Percy
S. Bullen, treasurer Of the Association
of Foreign Press Representatives in
the United States, who has Just re-
turned from abroad.
Nothing but irritation, anger and
despair Will be the lot of visitors who
trust to luck to get hotel accommodate
tions,' said MIR Bullen. "Organiza-
tions of hotel keepers have been formed
to cope with the invasion. but they
are powerless because there has been
no building during the war, and prices
are still too high to permit brilding
on large scale. In London and Paris
some great hotels occupied by gov
ernment departments during the war
will soon be released, but they Will be
insufficient to accomm odate the many
persons who seem contemplating trip
to Europe"
To meet the situation IN London it
has been proposed that national
committee of reception be formed. to
be made up Of members of Anglo
American societies, including the
American Char Der of Commerce in
London, and leading Englishmen.
"The committee would list al! avail
able accommodations in hotels and
boarding houses and would enlist the
assistance Of every householder in Lon
don willing to place a room at the dis
posal Of the committee" Mr.. Bullen ex-
planned. "Thus London would keep in
touch with New York on the question
Of accommodation and peep in the
United States would be advised as to
the best time TO travel and the chance
of obtaining accommodation at reason
able rates"
Belgium is much better prepared to
house the expected influx of tourists
than either France or England, Mr..
Bullen said
Officials at the New York office of
Cooks Tours, which has been arrang-
ing trips for tourists to the battle
fields, yesterday agreed with Mr. Bull
len that hotel accommodations in Lon
don and apris are at a premium and
can hardly be obtained.
