FARMING HE FARMER.

One of the moro popular of indoor as well as out
door sports is farming the farmer.
It is largely engaged in by agitators. demagogues
and politicians of the peanut breed.
They seek to impress upon their farmer audiences
that they are hopelessly in debt that the hand OF every
other interest is against them and unless they havs d.
rect help from the government they are sure TO go
INTO bankruptcy and lose their farms
As a matter of fact many of the more important
industries have suffered to greater extent than farm
ing and today are infinitely worse of than tho people
fuel
These willing little helpers and advisers Of farmers
usually have a dull little AZ to grind. There is al
most invariably a matter of self interest hidden IN
their advocacy of measures of help. You never hear
them explain the operation Of the well known law OF
supply and demand, and they offer you no light upon
the matter of business r~eadjustment after a season
of high priced production
There is too much of the faint of North Dakota in
their program. Too much in endeavor to create new
offices like farm demonstrators, farm agents, county
nurses, child inspectors and other willing little help
ers for pay. An inclination to increase boards, com
missioners, aid societies, tatting associations and the
like, all to offer the farmer aid he does not require
and still must pay for in the form or taxes
All such frils cost money and are designed to be-
come a permanent burden on the taxpayer.
The taxpayer has all the burien he can carry for a
long time in the future and especially the taxpayer
who owns land. The present agitation Is rather be-
coming a menace to land ownership.
If all the alleged help is granted and ofices and
Jobs created to put it into operation taxes Will go up
alarmingly and the sherifs will be kept busy selling
farms and turning farmers out on the world TO make
their living by other means
Left alone to work out their salvation, the farms
will be saved to present owners and farmers, now dis
tressed will later come out on top in the prosperity
that is surely not far off.
Whoever tries to make farmers or anybody believe
that a change has come over human experience and
that a share of the bitter does not come with the
sweet and that Burbank has eliminated the thorns
from roses rs little better than a fool, and his advice
Is worthless.

Push the Yellowstone Highway

important feeder to the Yellowstone
National park. /. Q. the Yellowstone
highway.
They do condescend to show the
highway rs far as Douglas. at which
point It is supposed to run into n
tree. and end. Casper is shown in
very small type. and Graybull is not
on the map ut all. and neither is the
east gate to the park. Wouldn't that
jar you. II did me. and 1 was all
boiling over. and then Charlie Stafford
FOUND a date OF the map. and we sup

lotter from A. T.. Bement. executive

that there is a gate to the Yellowstone
park or the asst side of the park at
ali. although all other gates are
shown Even the south gate which
vas not opened for two years after
the map was published is shown. and
a wonderful road as shown by this
map extends from Rawlins via Lam

How would you like to sec n fine

Texas cast its vote in favor of the Democratic candi-
date for president, whose mind WINS at one with Will

vived by passage of the resolution over the presidents
veto, has loaned more than 5000, 600 on agricultural

Gates of a protective tariff is a Texas man who has
