United States than any conscious social or political movement ever consummated, with the single exception of the abolition of slavery. "Until after the Revolutionary War, the farmers of this country used the same crude tools used by the Egyptians and Israelites. As late as 1837 the iron plow was rejected by New Hampshire farmers on the ground that it poisoned the soil, checked the growth of useful plants and promoted the growth of weeds a state of mind as commendable as the ancient belief in Ceres as the founder of agriculture, and the fear of arousing her wrath by adapting only change in methods. "The farm implements and methods of 1800 are no more to be compared with those of the present than are the home and business conveniences of former times to be compared with the marvels which make life comfortable today. "The bushel of corn takes more labor than wheat, by about forty-one minutes, but it took nearly four hours longer than that in 1855 before the development of corn planters, cultivators, and binders for cutting. Less than one-third the former labor cost is put into each bushel. The farmer receives more for his labor and the consumer can pay the profits of handling all along the line, and still eat cheaper corn-bread than the second or the third generation back. "Farm machinery of all sorts has been substituted for men, in releasing labor to the factories, and the power of animals added to reduce the cost of producing food. Speed Is Apparent. "A bushel of what formerly gave a man employment for 3 hours now only 10 minutes. Where our grandfathers put in 10c worth of labor and only 20c worth of soil fertility to the bushel, .keeping a man at fork for 3 hours Now in three hours we pay the man 6& ' cents and he takes $3,600 worth Of fertility out of the soil, which is all right if we are properly paid for it. "A hundred thousand picked American farmers went to- Canada last year with brains, tools and capital that we need. Every man of the hundred thousand could find profitable employment on our own farms if we would carry manufacturing processes only a little further, making beef, pork and mutton, baling our hay, shredding our T WOMEN TESTIFY WhatLydia&Pinkham'sVegetable Compound Did For Their Health Their own Statements Follow. .

GASCARETS CLEANSE LIVER AND BOWELS. Cascaret users never have Headache, Constipation, Biliousness or. Sick. Stomach.
It is more necessary that you keep your Bowels, Liver and Stomach clean, pure and fresh than it is to keep the sewers and drainage of a large city free from obstruction. Are you keeping clean inside with Cascarets or merely forcing a passageway every few days witji salts, cathartic pills or castor oil? This is important. Cascarets immediately cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and fermenting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system the constipated waste matter and poison in the intestines and bowels. No odds how badly and upset you feel, a Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from your druggist will keep your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Don't forget the children their little insides need a good, gentle cleansing, too. (Advertisement) fodder or making it into ensilage, producing milk and butter, raising fruit and preserving it in the community. "For every dollar's worth of fertility we take out of the soil, we get in domestic markets: $2.67 for corn; $2.79 for timothy hay; $2.88 for oats; 3.37 for wheat; $3.76 for sugar beets; $6.43 for milk; $13.71 for potatoes; S24.32 for apples. "If we separate anfl feed our milk and sell only the cream, we still gei over $600.00, and if we get back the refuse from the sugar factory, our dollar's worth of fertility will return, nearly $1,000 cash. Quality Required. "The first great period in American civilization called for a conquering of the streams, the field and the forest, by the quickest and most certain methods, regardless of waste. The farm let men go to dig for minerals and pump for oil to run blast furnaces and refineries and in these primary manufacturing industries, as on the farm, the spirit of the age cried quantity rather than finished quality. Now our Eastern oil fields show a rapidly declining importance, and out of the enormous production of the Pacific coast, over 60 per cent is burned under steam boilers, returning in useful work only five per cent of the total energy value found in the raw product. "The manufacturing industries of America need skilled laborers. The farm under bread national treatment is equal to even greater things in the way of maintenance of those who are pressed into service in the factories. "The educated farmer must have more capital. Public welfare demands that our methods of farming be changed, and the broader agricultural education that we are seeking will make possible the introduction of new methods upon our farms. You must bear in mind, however, that they will necessitate the employment of vastly increased capital. Actually the American bankers and financial centers are facing a task that exceeds that of fifty years ago, when thousands of millions had to be poured into railroad construction. The investment to be made upon farms will be a long-time investment and cannot, on that account, be taken from the deposit funds of our banks. Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR. Gennett Theater.

INSANE ROAD SYSTEM
Maintained in Indiana Where Dumped in the Road and and the Elements to BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. J This is the time o' year when you walk abroad and observe the beauti- j ful working of our road system. ' Good roads! When you get at the heart of things you'll find good roads at the bottom. Napoleon understood this among the . ten thousand other things he under- j stood, a little better than anybody j else. And inaugurated a system of roads I which has had no parallel. The Progressives recognize it That's the reason they are progressives. And that the Indiana system of working out the road tax and other forms of mongrel road-making is about the worst in the more advanced states is widely known and a blot on the Hoosier 'scutcheon. The good roads people have tried, legislature after legislature, to get beneficent measures passed. But have been defeated. Their defeat at the time of the last Indiana assembly was notorious and due to opposition which the publicunderstands. The assinine policy which Indiana pursues in regard to its road system is only equalled by its puerile attitude toward the efforts to reform its housing system. ; Or its child labor law. And, if past events point the way, ! this general position of inactivity will be continued. There's nothing to be expected from the next legislature.
