from Madison's irresolute hand and
recklessly pointed the vessel straight
into the teeth OF the storm. The sea
board East was more for peace and at
that time the military section was the
new West. where the Tennesseans and
Nentuckians, Indianians and Ohioans
were Justify shouting "On to Canada -
Overborne by their rash counsels. Mad
ison consented. as he said. To throw
forward the flag Of the country. sure
that the people would press onward
and defend H."
Without competent civilian military
leaders, without financial credit, with
out war equipment, the people could
not press onward. as any history of
the dismal war OF 1912 will tell you.
Even the capital was left undefend-
ed, and Madison, ain little round
hat with big cockade" ran about in
helpless bewilderment as the British
marched upon Washington.
With the invaders entering at one
side Of the defenseless town, the
president fled at the other. AS he
turned he saw the flames shooting up
behind him. he fed faster and farther.
While the British commander was
blowing out candles on his dinner Ia
bic that he might feast In the light
Of the burning White House. It's fugi-
tive master was hiding In q forest but
% miles away.
After an absence OF three days, a
heavy-hearted. shattered, houseless
president returned TO view the
charred walls of his official residence
and OF the capitol. At every turn he
was greeted by ugly mutterings Of the
general disposition to make him the
scapegoat for all the national short
comings In n war that had been thrust
upon him. But with victory at New
Orleans and the return OF peace, the
voice Of the Pathfinder was drowned
in the hum of sudden prosperity. And
In the closing days OF his admins
tration Madison was cheered by many
assurances that his countrymen were
not forgetful Of the 40 years that he
had served them In pure devotion.
Like John Adams, he emerged from
bis retirement TO sit In the constitu-
tional convention Of his state,
where the aged statesman closed his
active public life. as he had opened

 of people planted their Irish pota- toes in February and March and
 they rotted. planted mine on March 25 and % and they are just now be-
 ginning to peep through the ground and 1t is still most too early, judging by the frost in the air, to plant any thing except peas, lettuce, radishes
 and such things, so il is good thing
 that Wanda has held me back from planting my garden so long. Other people, who planted early, have some awful sorry, stunted-looking stuff growing. Even the fruit trees set out have had the leaves killed on them, and the upper part of the trees.

Good management is the first es- sential to success in farming, just as 1t is in any other business. The good manager is always on the alert for ways to improve his farm. He is always planning for and securing things that will save his time and la- Dor, cut his production costs and en- able him to make more money out of his farming business. This year there IS a special test for farm man. agement. Some farmers, because dis appointed in regard to last years crops are disappointed in regard to results. They are timorous and per plexed. Their plans for the year are indefinite. They are too likely just to drift along, missing opportunities to advance themselves along the road of accomplishment. The good man., ager on the other hand is out to make the most possible from this year of farm operation. Though prospect for profits may not be so promising as it was in the spring of recent years, he sees opportunities as good as or better than they were in years before the war, and he is studying out the ways to take full advantage of those opportunities. The good farm man. ager knows the value of farm imple- ments, knows that in year like this, when crops production costs must be kept low, good implements are more important than ever. If he needs new implement, if careful considera- ton shows him that the use of the implement will aid in making his farming more efficient, make his time and labor worth more and make him dollars ahead at the end of the year, he doesn't hesitate in buying it. With hia the purchase is simply a requirement of good farm manage ment.
 Our spring seems to have turned to winter, but guess 1t is for the best. Our strawberries will not all open at once. Our peach trees are too full. The cold weather will cause some to fall off, and give the best better chance to make fine, large fruit.
 The storm of Friday night did con siderable damage to crops and prop erty just north of us. Several houses were blown from their foundations.

SALARY TOO MEAGER

Denver. Dec. 2o.-Declaring that in
six years as pastor of the Montview
boulevard church. in the fashionable
Park Hill district he has spent 32,4oo
more than his ''meager salary" all in
the interest of his church Rev. Robert
d. Caldwell yesterday rendered his
resignation TO his congregation.
This action is made easier on my
part when l reflect that something is
due my family" the pastor told the
congregation.
The meager salary I have received
all these years after house rent and
upkcep of automobile was deducted,
has been insufficient by $500 to $500
annually to meet my necessary ex-
pcnses of living on Park Hill.
BY a little calculation of your own
you will sec that i have in these years
actually given you some $2,4oo for tho
privilege OF preaching to you, besides
having worn out one automobile and
well on the way with another in your
service"
