Egypt irrlgates by Sweat
This is all in strange contrast with
Egypt, where the unprogressive farm
ers irrigate their fields by the same
toilsome, ineffective methods that
were used thousands of years ago. A
favorite device is the shaduf, operated
by men, or the sakiyah, operated by
o1eE.

Farmerttes May Prove Angels

The experiment Of the farmerette in some of the eastern states
,rray prove OF greater import to the farmer than he imagines. If
the experiment be extended to the young men Of the colleges there
will soon be an intelligent awakening to the fact that the farmer at
best gets. . poor share of the value he produces. When thinking
men are compelled to work for small wages because the industry
in which they are employed cannot afford to pay them decently, the
wheels will soon be set in motion to bring about a new order Of
things.

expenses. They will keep house comparatively and live in cottages,

farm can De affected until the plan is extended to include man labor.

Citrus Advertising a Success

The Florida Citrus Exchange is making an appeal to the
growers of grape fruit to cooperate instead OF compete in the
marketing of their product, and states that the keynote OF it's
success up to date has been found in newspaper advertising.
Ten years ago, the exchange says, it started to educate the
American housewives to the food and health values OF grape
fruit. Today, as a result Of newspaper advertising, one-fourth
of the American people eat grape fruit. There remain, how
ever, threefourths of the people yet to be reached.
The potential market for the canned grape fruit alone is
staggering to contemplate. The canning of grape fruit now
has been perfected. 49,
All that remains is to have the people told about it. The
citrus exchange is to be compimented on its vision in seeing
that only newspaper advertising can accomplish such mutually
beneficial education. The housewives Of every small town in
the country will learn through advertising in their local news
papers all about grape fruit. Then everybody will profit.

representative men of the party from the State, have been made
through the unit rule simply the tools OF a party boss whom
they despised, and the assets of a system of control against which
their judgment revolted. Yet because the boss had a majority
it may be only Of one vote in the delegation-he has assumed
the right to vote the entire delegation and has been permitted
to do so by the Convention.
No man named by such a body represents anything but the
will of the bosses-which is another way of saying he has been
chosen only by the masters of the bosses. The unit rule is q
relic of the stone age in politics and it should be discarded

purpose of training two poultry

The school on Saturday, the

ceived from 33 flock owners who
culled 1905 birds, taking out 1870
as culls. During the week follow

flock owners can do this culling
almost as efficiently as the spec

Lost.

A wild, wild bird in cage was
locked
By a thoughtless boy one day,
And it beat its wings against the
bars.
The child saw that the bird was
dead,
And in sorrow long he cried.
But the tears could not bring life
again
To the bird that in bondage
died.
A beautiful thought in my heart
sealed,
With a stone against the door
And, like the bird, for freedom
fought
Until it was no more.
Then the world cried out for my
beautiful thought
That would ease all its grief
and pain;
But the tears of earth and eternity
Could not bring it back again.
