An event unusual and unique in the hardware field was the convention at New Haven, Conn.,, of Presidents and Secretaries of the Winchester Clubs of the United States from which Dan Pittman, the local dealer, whose store has become the Winchester store for this territory, has just returned.
 The session brought together some three score of the leading hardware retailers from every section of the country representing the Winchester clubs that are now organized. These clubs comprise Winchester Stockhold- ing Agents, the representative of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in their districts to handle the new products which this world famous gun and ammunition organization is now to manufacture.
 Among those who attended this gathering were several past and pres ent officials of state hardware deal CTS associations and Charles T. Wood ward of Carlinville, 9Hl., past presi- dent of the National Retail Hardware Dealers Association.

THE INDEPENDENT MAN.

There is no man or set OF men IN
the United States Independent OF their
fellows. But if there is one class that
approaches independency it is the
farmers of this country. Take 1t right
here in Harrison, and while the men
folks are out stalking fuel the good
housewife is wracking her brain and
digging deep into her purse to find
something to cook when she gets the
fueI And out on the farm-in every
section of this great country-whlle
the world is tied up in the grip OF
winter, the farmer has only to step
to the shed for wood, the cellar for
potatoes and the pantry for meat and
lard and flour-all of his own produc-
ton.
That is the one great reason why
we shall always argue that the boy
who leaves the farm for a small-sal
ried lob in the larger city is making
the greatest mistake Of his life. Right
now you can't do anything but breathe
in city but you're charged for it
And the boy in the city who is max
ing five or six dollars day has
hard struggle to make both ends meet
The boy on the farm always knows
where his next meal is coming from
and he also knows that if he is care
full and frugal he can, with no greater
amount of work than done by the
city boy, put two or three times as
much money in bank, or invest it as
he sees fit.
The city is full of failures-you
rarely find one out on the farm. And
the city is also full of successful men
who remained on the farm luntil they
had become far enough along to have
some valuable business judgment be
fore they actually started in to bump
up against the world,
