LEARN ABOUT
THE FARMER.

Back Of all legislation must stand
united public opinion which always is
to be trusted in this nation when the
people have intelligent understanding.
Most of our troubles come from inn
perfect knowledge and consequent lack
of interest in public questions. For
years this has been the cast with the
American farmer whose situation and
importance until lately has not been
even measurably sensed AS soon as
the people generally in the great cities
as well as in the smaller communities
come to realize how much of the ma
tons prosperity depends on the farm
then the wheels of reform will begin
to turn with rapidity, and all the peo-
pie will benefit.
Almost half our population is rural,
living on six and one-half millions of
farms which employ approximately
thirteen millions of workers. The
value of the annual production of these
men is $19,176, 015. 900, which is greater
than that of mining or of any branch of
manufacturing.
What a sad commentary 1t Is upon
our legislative intelligence when we
realize that in spite of these stupen-
dous and important figures, the income
of each factory or farm mine, which
ever way we choose to visualize it,
averages only $2,793.
The province of government is to
cNsate prosperity, the greatest good for
the greatest number, to harmonic the
laws under which we live so that re-
ward shall come to the people in rela-
ton to their service. There are be-
tween the City Hall in New York and

TOO PROUD TO
VOTE

We have in mind the fellow who is
dissatisfied with the price of wheat
sees a crop failure ahead, is in fin.
ancial difficulties, and to show his re-
sentiment, announces that he won't
register and vote at the primary and
general elections. Too proud to vote.
Well enough, there will be those
aplenty who will vote a verdict at the
polls They will endorse men and
defeat others. They will strive for
better government, better laws, better
support to their business and protec-
ton for their own life and property.
All that is gained in America toward
the goal of better government is gain
ed at the polls. The citizen who is too
proud to vote won't be too proud to
register the first complaint against
the laws and policies enacted by those
who do vote. Every citizen should
register and vote and encourage
others to do likewise.

SCRAPS OF PAPER
WE KNNW.

1t took the Kaiser to popularize the
now famous words scraps of paper"
Mere scraps of paper play the most
prominent part in u local business
That merchant or professional man
who deals too heavily in notes and
checks not properly secured or endors-
ed soon realizes for a fact, that they
are in truth mere scraps of paper"
Spurious checks float about freely.
The sheriff could be Kept busy "a
hours every day, tracing out the
writer's of worthless checks. The
writer's are of all sorts. Some have
no funds in the bank, some have nc ac-
count, some forge another's name,
others raise the amounts. The check
is the handiest business tool of the
legitimate trader as well as the crook.
Professional check raisers make for
tunes every year. Often the amounts
cleaned are too small to merit expen-
sfve prosecution.
The common form of note is another
scrap of paper that too often flukes
out. On record in this county is the
case of a man who owed some $12,0 0
for which he gave note secured by
mortgages. The man took bankruptcy
and there was no equity to speak of left
for the holder of the notes. They
were as scraps of paper.
Something should be done to remedy
an increasingly serious problem that
of financial paper control. 1t has
ruined many a good business man and
many a thriving institution.

The Land Of BLADES.

Japan is called "the land Of blades"
by its W people, some OF the older
scholars having declared that the first
sword was invented by the same god

George Danerel
Appears Here In
The Red Widow'

Many a good show is ruined by
rs chorus
Unfortunately for George Damerel
ne opened his latest stage Offering.
The Red Widow" al the oliver
theater last night for its hrst night
on the stage. That his troupe lacks
training was apparent 20 the capac-
ity audience that greeted IL on the
frs. night OF its two-day stand.
And while the chorus OF men and
women In "The Red Widow" knew
It's lines and could sing, it did not
know its steps-and IL lacked the
beauty that is expected IN a musical
comedy. But one person, a stranger
20 a company, oft-times lowers its
standard. Such might have been the
case last night.
George Damerel pleased. Myrtle
Vain, as the Red Widow" pleased.
But the chorus and rs mediocre
ability disappointed. The show un-
doubtedly would have gone over bet
ter without the appearance OF the
chorus on the stage.
Diminutgve Dorothy Oaks, as
Yvette, a dancer. danced her way
into the hearts OF the audience with
her vivacious personality and spright-
~ youhtfulness.
A bad cold impaired the work of
George Damerel, well known to local
theater goers as a comedian OF high
rank. Although incapacltated by a
husky voice. he succeeded in living
up TO his reputation.
