FARMING ON A BUSINESS BASIS

Day by day the farmer is coming
to fuller realization of the fact
the farm as well as the factory must
be run on business lines if the farm is
to be rnade .really, profitable, .There
is no better proof of the great profit
possibilities jim agriculture than the
fact that farming has always been
the means of making a good living
and often a comfortable fortune, de-
spite the very ineffective methods
used in our grandfathers and even in
our fathers times,
The city manufacturer would be in
the bankruptcy court in very short
tinme if he employed merely hand
labor; if he did not use all the ma
chineIy applicable TO his business he
would find himself far behind COM
petitors. In fact he would not be able
to do any business at all, because he
would be unable to sell his product
at price anywhere near the compet-
ing price of the machinery using
manufacturer This principle of in
creasing production through labor
saving has been recognized on the
farm as well as in the city, with the
result that mechanical equipment of
all kinds has replaced to great ex-
tent the old, time-worn hand-work me-
thods of doing business.
And now the farm is following the
city yet another step toward real liv-
ing efficiency. Mr.. City Man has
learned that labor saving is a good
thing not merely in his business but
in his daily life at home; that he will
have more energy for his daily work
il he can enjoy his leisure hours to
the full without having to do any tir-
ing; non-proIuctive work, The farm
er is followinE his example in this re-
spect, and today, on farms where the
pumping, churning, sweeping, wash
ing. milking, and a hundred other tir-
ing chores were done by hand in time
outside of the real working hours, we
now find the farmer and his wife and
family enjoying the leisure that their
work entities them 10 Electricity,
furnished by dependable little light
and power plants has become the
household servant and extra hired
man on thousands of farms all over
this country. or course, light is the
first thing one thinks of when cleo
tricity is mentioned and it is true
that electricity is universally used
wherever it can be obtained. II is
also true that electric light makes a,
wonderful difference 'in the farm
home. Frightening and cheering every
phase of home life. But many farm
family is finding that the work cleo
tricity does through the many cleo
tric power appliances now available
for home use is even greater serV-
ice than the furnishing of light,

What pleases US is the prospect of
such a split as will put the grand old
party in the rubbish heap when the
vote is counted in the fall. Johnson
cannot become head of our govern
ment. Knox cannot as long as John
son has the strength he appears now
to have. And they must not forget
Wood.
The Democrats have the opportu
nifty Of their lives We hope they do
not permit themselves to become fed
up on anti-Wilson propaganda to
such an extent that they will forget
their party loyalty. If there is man
who has to abandon the president be-
cause somebody said he went to Rome
to visit the pope and kissed the pope's
toe in order TO get into his august pre-
sence (Which he did not do) then let
that unhappy democrat take cour-
age and remain loyal with the assur-
ance that Wilson doesn't expect to be
president much longer than March
fourth next year.
This is the day to fight cheerfully

may look for punishment OF the Sc.

RANCEHERS BECOMING VERY "TRA|LERW|SE"

The Salt River valley is becoming trailerwise, states c. w. Hartranft, distributor of Utility trailers This is evidenced by the large number of trail CTS in operation. and in an elemntary way, by the Penny wise and poud foolish" idividual who applies the u ailer idea to his farm wagon. While not conducive to long life of either car or wagon, this practice demon strates the tremendous pulling power Of the light automobile.
 During the cotton ginning season it is common sight to see a wagon carrying 40G0 pounds o cotton, pulled by an auto. Now this wagon is on steel tires, plain bearings, has a steering device adapted only to slow speed work and provides no protection to it. self or the car, from road shocks. Contrast this with the ton or ton and one-half trailer generally recommended by the foremost trailer manufacturers for automobile use.
 This trailer is equipped with rubber tires and ball or roller bearings. It is properly balanced and the frame is made of steel that will not warp and by so doing throw the trailer out of alignment. It is pulled from the frame so that all road shocks have to pass through the trailer springs before af- fecting the car. Spring drawbars are frequently used and with these fea- lures the car is practically freed from read shocks which the trailer wheels encounter

ROOSEVELT ON LABOR PROBLEM

(JoSeph Bucklin Bishop in Scrlbner
 Magazine.)
 In all his messages to congress, whenever he discussed the problems of labor, President Roosevelt defined his roSition with clearness and precision IE the annual message of 1903 he said
 Organized labor and organized eapi- tai alike should remember that in the lcng run the interest of each must be brought into harmony with the interest of the general public: and the conduct of each must conform to the funda- mental rules of obedience to the law, of individual freedom and of justice and fair dealing toward all"
 In 1904, he was especially emphatic in denouncing rioting and mob rule:
 There are in this country some labor unions which have habitually. and oth- CT labor unions which have often. been among the most effective agents in working for good citizenship and for uplifting the condition of those whose welfare should be closest to our hearts. But when any labor union seeks i'm proper ends, or seeks to achieve proper ends by improper means, all good citi- zens and more especially all honorable public servants must oppose the wrong doing as resolutely as they would op- pose the wrongdoing of any great cor pcration. Of course, any violence, bru- tality or corruption should not for one moment be tolerated.
 ''Wageworkers have an entire right to organize and by all peaceful and honorable means to endeavor to per sIade their fellows to join with them in organizations. They. have a legal right, which, according to circumstanc- es. may or may not be moral right, to refuse to work in company with men who decline to join their organizations. They have under no circumstances the right to commit violence upon those, whether capitalists or wageworkers. who refuse to support their organiZa- tions, or who side with those with whom they are at odds; for mob rule is intolerable in any form"
