There are farmers today holding

sold in 1920 for 40 cents, they held

HAVE YOU MADE YOUR WILL?

1t is common thing to read news
paper story of contest in the courts
over the possession of property which
the original owner did not divide prior
to his or her death.
The only possible reason for a per-
son failing to leave a will is neglect.
1t is foregone fact that the earthly
possessions of an individual, regard
less of whether these possessions are
of little consequence or amount to mil
lions in value, will be divided among
relatives after death.
Many family has been permanent
" broken up because of dispute over
the property of a deceased member.
And while this smacks of "battle for
the spoils," it is human nature more
or less and can be avoided easily. The
simple making of a will removes the
possibility.
The late F. w.. Woolworth, who or.
ganized the famous chain of five and
ten cent stores, and who died recent
ly, left a will less than two hundred
words in length. But it was sufficient.
He was worth millions, although at
the time the will was made he was
a country clerk working fot $40 a
week. BE left the entire fortune to
his wife. At the time of her hus-
bands death Mrs. Woolworth was suf-
fering from a nevous breakdown and
is still unable to assume active charge
Of the estate. In all likelihood guard
ians will be appointed for her. 1t is
likely that if Mr.. Woolworth had fail
ed to make viii extensive legal pro-
ceedings would have taken place, es-
pecially since Mrs. Woolworth's ply
sical and mental condition is such that
she would be seriously handicapped
in successfully protecting her own in
terests. AS it is, this will not occur.
The short will settles it.
Even if a man only has ring or 4
watch or book that is dear to the
family he should make will. 1t is
not a permanent document and it can
be changed from time to time. Mr..
Woolworth never changed, his first
will, he was young and in possession
of his faculties when he made it years
ago, but it saves a lot of litigation
and expense today.
1t doesn't matter how much you are
worth in dollars and cents, it is your
duty to leave will signifying your
wishes as to the disposition or dis
bursement of whatever your earthly
possessions may be.
A will is the legal and only safe and
sane method of disposal and this
should not be neglected until the in
dividual is advised by his phyrician
that his case is hopeless.
Making will will not hasten deaht.
Making will will not hasten death.

Bank Account VS.. Store Account

All farmers are anxious to make
money to educate their children and
to provide the comforts of life. How
ever, it is a regrettable fact tina! only
a very small per cent. of the far7ers
are really making money. There arc
no millionaire farmers and very few
worth as much as 100000.
1t is almost impossible to make q
large sum of money on the farm, bit
farmers open to learn by the worlds
e. eyperience can live well, educate Their
children and keep some money in the
bank for the rainy day.
We can,ot fill a cisterr antll wc
stop the leaks. This being true, it is
necessary to grow practically all fool
and feed needed on the farm in order
to become prosperous farmers. The
diversifying farmers usually have
bank accounts, while the one-crop far
mers usually have store accounts.
An ignorant farmer can succeed on
very fertile soil until he wears it out,
but the most intelligent farmer will
remain poor on land that yields one
third bale Fer acre, unless ne builds
it up. A systematic rotation OF crops
including leguminous crops, the use
of strong teams and large plows TO
turn under corn and cotton stalks,
weeds, grass, ETC., the application OF
commercial fertilizers whenever Meet
ed and the terracing of the land means
bale-per-acre.
BY keeping all the poultry, hogs,
sheep, cattle and horses the farm VIII
support, the waste products and the
roughage are utilized to the very best
advantage and the fields are CLEANED
after the crops are harvested. The
legumonous crops that must be grown
to enrich the soil economically are al %
converted into animal products for
home use and for sale.
Horses and mules should be raise !
to furnish the necessary power Tor
tie economical production OF crops.
insufficient horsepower is guarante1
of small profits on the farm.
The most prolific seed instead OF
seed that have run out should be
planted. Like produces ike.
The lack of prosperity on many
farms is largely due to the absence OF
good permanent pastures. Bermuda
carpet, Rhodes and other grasses are
good for permanent pastures.
Pasture grasses and grazing crors
that will grow healthy, vigorous live
stock must ever remain the basic fac
tor in successful livestock raising. VI
course, a certain amount of grain or
concentrates is needed to grow live
stock with the greatest profit, but II
should be used only to supplement the
feeds which the stock harvest for
themselves in the pastures and the
fields.
1t is not advisable to- attempt to
grow corn on land that yields less
than 20 bushels per acre in normal
seasons. Better plant cowpeas, soy
beans, peanuts, velvet beans, sorghums
and other feed crops on the poor land.
Reduce the cost of growing croIs
by increasing the fertility of the soil,
the use of sufficient horsepower and
labor-saving implement, the use OF
the most prolific seed and by keeping
busy twelve months in the year.

Insurrection and Invasion

The governor of West Virginia has issued public
statement of the why he recently called upon
the federal furnish troops for the defense
of the people of the state Governor Morgan that
his request made because 5000 in insur-
reeton against the state in defiance of law
at time when the state without national guard
and her quota of 200 police engaged other points
in the enforcement of law.
Governor Morgan further says that while this insur
recton against the state government ostensihly
organized against the enforcement of martial law in
Mngo county and to obtain the removal of Baldwin
Feltz mine guards, there were no Baldwin, Fets
other mine guards in Mngo county when this insurrec
ton occurred. The law being enforced by duly
stituted authorities of the county and state.
The real question at issue in West Virginia
whether the government established by the people, and
the officials elected by the people, and the laws enacted
by the peoples representatives should have authority
in that state whether its industrial affairs should be
controlled by another organization, working to promote
own interests in defiance of the people law and the
peoples government.
In attempt to Justify nsnrrection and invasion
of this kind it is commonly claimed that the state
eminent is not really the peoples government but that
the is unfairly controlled by wealthy
and big corporations that themselves engaged
in courses of lawbreaking There is some justification
for such claim, but if it true to much greater
extent than it is that would give warrant for nsur
recton and invasion One wrong ustifes another
wrong Lawlessness never be cured by lawbreakng
The system of popular self government estsb
shed in the states of the American union is not perfect
plan execution but it is the best system that has
been devised It's safeguards of life, liberty and
property cannot be bettered by permitting any other
kind of an organization to exercise authority in defiance
of the people s government and the peoples laws

the transportation needs of the country is generally
admitted. This inadequacy due in part to changed
conditions and in part to mistakes that made IN
the development Of the railroads of the United States
In some places there too many railroads with the
result that weak lines being stranged by competition
where one strong line would do profitable business
In other places there railroads where railroads
are needed In some instances railroads have been aban
doned and the tracks removed because freight and
sengers be moved economically by automobiles
or by electric lines. s&
What is true of the railroads in material way is
also true of their financial affairs Some roads over
capitalized and others undereaptalized. Most of
them earning very scanty returns upon the invest
ment few, perhaps, have greater income than they
fairly entitled to.
Some sort Of reorganization therefore seems
necessary if the nation is to have the transportation
system it needs. But there many practical diff
cues in the way 1t may be good thing for the people
generally that the strong railroads should help TO bear
the financial burdens of the weak but this principle
does not accord with the constitutional protection of
property rights including those of railroad stockholders
