FARMER'S INSTITUTE.

The Farmer's institute next week should be the best attended institute in the history of the organization. .Anything that is worth maintaining as the institute has been, is worth improving, and for this reason, if no other, the coming institute should be the best ever held in Greenfield, But there is another reason why it should be the best, and that is, because the business of farming and stock raiseing never offeied so great returns for efforts exerted as at the present.

The program includes special features not only of interest to the men but also to the women. Prizes have been offered for the best bread, cakes, cookies and butter. The woman's part in the institute like her part on farm is a very important one. Their program in the institute is an interesting one.

AID THE POOR.

This is a good time for people who are in comfortable circumstances to allow their sympathy to be inlisted in behalf of the poor people of the city whose conditions deprive them of the necessities of life. Many of them have scarcely fuel and clothes to keep them warm, and but limited amounts of food. If disposed to aid the poor remember that J. K. Henby, the President and Mrs. G. W. Gordon, the secretary, of the charity association are thoroughly informed of the immediate needs of the poor of the £\ty," and that they are in the beg£ position to know where acv donations will do the mot*-gt6df

President Taft is having trouble in trying to get his legislative program through Congress. At least this is the information that comes from newspaper men who are on the ground. It is also reported that the President is being driven to use his "presidential influence" as he never has done before to spur the law-ma-kers to action. It will be remember ed that President Taft was said not to believe in executive interference and dictation to the extent that former President Roosevelt did. He was praised for his position in this re spect, and the country was compli mented upon its escape from presidential dictatorship. It will probably be recalled also that these compliments came mostly from the promi nent officials who were given the most trouble by Mr. Roosevelt, and they are the same officials who today are blocking the attempts of President Taft to put through a legislative program which he thinks the people' of the country desire. So they are driving Mr. Taft to adopt Roosevelt methods. We suspect that the time has come when the Executives are compelled to use much pressure, and even force of ascertain kind, if they

are to be more than a mere figure head.

Many persons here regretted learn that the Greenfield boys were connected with the New Palestine bank robbery. There was quite a feeling in Greenfield that while Martin and Derry were guilty of many little thefts heretofore, that after their jail experience of a few months ago they, or at least, Martin would "square away" and lead an honest life, but the New Palestine bank robbery with which they seem now to be positively identified, has completely eliminated every particle of sympathy, and there now seems to be but one sentiment toward them and that is they should be sent to prison in order that they may not prey upon honest people.

A surprise party was given Forest Steele Saturday night. An enjoyable time was had by all present.

Temptation to Spend Money

Ask your druggist 25 cents the box

Is greatly lessened by not carrying any more than absolutely necessary in the pocket. If you put your money in the bank it is just sufficient trouble to draw it out again to make you hesitate about spending it. It forces you to think twice: and if you think twice before spending each dollar you will find yourself'much better ofi at the end of the year. You will discover that you are spending a great many dollars unnecessarily, which if saved and deposited in THE CAPITAL STATE BANK would enable you to make a nice investment sooner than you might think. Try it! Courteous treatment and strictly confidential.
