Trying to keep the farmer satisfied with a sixteen-hour day and poor pay while the town laborer ", draws full days pay for six hours looks like a problem that nobody - but Mr. Ford can solve. A lot of former Adams county - folks will return next week to * spend their vacation among old . friends. The street fair becomes mm more and more each year an old ~ home coming and that is one of its best features. The French may have been a _ little slow in returning Colonel “ Lindbergh’s call but they finally ” came and they rushed on to Dallas to collect a little old $25,000. That will come in handy for tips around Washington and New York. “ Well are you all set for the big ~ street fair? The tents and the “ stands will be put up early Mon- 1 ” day - morning and the program will - start on schedule so far as is known now. It ought to he a big week for the Legion boys who are putton know how to do it. The total tax rate will show a slight increase if the dope avails’ able now is correct, which as we * have stated before may not be just satisfactory but about the only thing that can be done so long as we demand continuous and continual improvements. And who wants . to back up? Mr. Morrow, ambassador to Mexico, is to resign, showing that he is either confident that he will be elected United States senator or can get another job just as good as the one he is giving up. Mr. Morrow you know, is the wet republican candidate in New Jersey. Democratic headquarters will be opened here in a few days and you » are welcome to visit there as often * as you can, to make suggestions to » help in the campaign. You know <■ without our saying that the lead- * ers and the candidates and every - one who wants to see the party a win will appreciate your assistance. Buy an Adams county farm. * Others are doing it and within a 0 * year or two will profit. Then you » will wonder why you didn’t see . that good land, well improved, just 1 had to come back. The average farm here will produce a profitable crop on a value of $l5O per acre, so if you buy below that you must be on the safe side. The beet exhibit at tjie Van Wert fair this week attracted more attention, It is said, than any of the siiow, due probably to the fact that more and more farmers are beginning to learn that this is one

Olving advice to the young Is an art which has been sauiy overworked, says Edward Filene In The Kotarian. It is the young who should advise the old, for the young are more In touch with new developments. Youth Is living In (he present: the majority of people past middle age do much of their living in a world which has passed away. I am not one of those who believe that people should be chloroformed at forty: I am simply observing that a large percentage of them act as if they were. It is to youth that we must look for advice, and for advance notices concerning the life which lies ahead of us. The older generation has its place, but it is the responsibility of the younger generation to keep the old folks in their proper place: and 1 have the honor to report that the younger generation is working at the job industriously. Our function, as I see it, is not to peddle out advice. It is not to tell young people what to do. Above all, it is not to tell them what to think. Our function, as I see it, is, rather, to compare notes with the younger generation — to go over with the youngsters the facts which the youngsters find—and to employ our powers of analysis, if we have any, to help them organize those facts into recognized truths. o f'TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY i | From the Daily Democrat File 1 ♦ __«[ September 6, 1910. — Citizens Telephone Co. has assets of $85,451.

BRITISH LEARN TO SPECIALIZE WITH FARMING (iradual Change In Ceneral System Brought - About by Experience By Virgil Pinkley United Press Staff Correspondent London, Sept. 6— (UP) —Gradual changes since IS7I have altered the agriculture of Great Britain. Sixty years ago almost threefifths of the agricultural land was arable. At present, however, due to a gradual conversion of arable land into pasture, about three-fifths is nuder pasture. AH hough Great Britain is one of the most highly’industrialized countries in the world, the economic Importance of agriculture is tremendous. Farming in Great Britain offers a sharp contrast to that of the United States Argentina, Russia or even Germany. The nature of the land does not lend itself to large scale farming. There are few instan ces of holding exceeding 3,000 acres and when they do, the holdings tire divided into smaller sections, generally operate under single management. In England and Wales there are 216,700 farms and holdings of 20 acres or over. Small holdings and parcels of land under 20 acres number 159,800 while there are 28,400 fruit and vegetable farms and 4,500 poultry holdings with less than 20 acres. The same ratios ex ist, generally, in Scotland. Heavy, day-like soils are the most common in Great Britain. Wet and dampness, which is general throughout the island, keeps them jin a heavy, moist condition. Because of climate and soil conditions it has been found that fruit with the exception of small fruit and berries, is difficult to raise. Since grains are extensive crops. British farmers also-have discovered that it is almost useless so com petes with grain grown in Canada the Argentine, Russia, Germany. Australia and the United States. These facts have assisted the gradual change of agriculture.’ Dairy farming poultry raising stock breeding and the raising of fruits and vegetables is becoming the new order. / .Leading agricultural experts assert that specialized types of farming will pay profits to British, Welsrt and Scotch farmers. The Minis ry of Agriculture is now attempting to induce farmers to adopt specialized 1 fields and develop them. 1 ’ ♦ — —■ ———i 4 REUNION CALENDAR i 4 4 Sunday, September 7 Annual Ilaley-Bergman reunion, ‘ Portland Fairgrounds. 1 Second annual Bell Reunion, Le--1 gion Memorial Park, Decatur.

IVWCM-WEI BACK IN PEIPING TO SET UP RULE Famous Revolutionary Has Backing of Two Powerful Generals United Press Starr rorrospondont Peiping, Sept 6—(UP) — Second only to the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen tu his reputation as an earnest revolutionary In China, the Left Wing j Kuonilntang lender, Wang Ching- j wel, has returned to Pleplng to us-1 sist in setting up a government as a rival to that at Nanking. There la strong evidence that Wang Chtng-wei is being groomed as a "spiritual successor” to Sur. Yatrtvn, (ind that southern and j northern Politicians alike hope to build around him a party government which may be generally accepted as the "legal successor” to Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s original Kiiomlntang. As part of this plan. Wang Is staying In the elaborate house i which was turned Into a shrine for Sun Yat-sen by General Shaing I Kai-shek. He is being treated with I the respect, almost reverence, which Dr. Sun received from his dis-, ciples. , Just 21 years ago, Wang Chaing-! wei come to Peking as a youthful ! revolutionary, determined to kill j the Manehu prince regent, whom ho I blamed for assalts upon Kuomintang revolutionaries. He actually I threw a bomb a: the Prince-Regent, j and nearly killed him. Wang was arrested, and sentenced to prison for life. Y’uan Shia-kai is said to have interceded for him, and prevented his execution. Two years later the revolution come, and ho was speedily released. Coining hack to Peiping after 21 years. Wang Ching-wei has beeu guarded more closely than ever was the Manehu Prince-Regent he tried to assassinate. This time he has feared assassination himself. The Chinese newspapers claim that Gen. Chiang Kai-shek has sent 300 gunmen from the south with orders to k.ll Wang Ching-we. It is possible that this story is given out in order to enhance the impression that Wang is once more chief of the re volutionariea against oppressive rule. There is little doubt, however, that Wang Shing-wei is the most influential figure m Kuomintang circles. His record as a revolution ary is impressive. Ever since he graduated from the Tokyo law School at the age of 22, he has fought consistently for the revolution in China.
