THE PIONEERS. I remember lighting fires; I remember sitting- by 'em; I remember seeing faces, hearing voices through the smoke; X remember they were fancy, for I threw a stone to try 'em. "Something lost beyond the ranges" was the only word they spoke. Seeing faces and hearing voices through the smoke of campflres were a part of the glamour of the romance of the early pioneering of America. , Hard and stern were the lives of the pathfinders, but through all the hardships and deprivation was the spirit of high adventure and poetic fancy. The hope of advancement, of the acquirement of free lands, of the making of homes these were the motives thai moved the men and women who tools the trails. But beyond material prosperityThere was the lure of "something lost beyond the ranges," the quest for something new. Slowly crept the covered wagons along river beds and over mountain passes, slow and solitary beyond the Appalachians. The campfires moved faster over the prairies, then beyond the Mississippi, until came the rush to El Dorado, with its promise of gold and allurement of adventure. From "where rolls the Oregon" the tide re turned, and the frontiers were gone. Are there then no more pioneers? Has the restless, hardy , spirit of American life, bred in the bone and blood of many generations, been tamed? Does this persistent force still hold? If so, how to use it? Surely there is abundant call for all the courage and fortitude and initia tive that distinguished the fathers. And if one can find it there is even in our times the charm of risk and of adventure, because there are foes in our social life more deadly than the painted savages. v But How shall we fire the fancy of our youth to see the faces and hear the voices? How make them see that "something lost beyond the ranges?" If! If we are able to touch the imagination of our sons and daughters and make them see the need for chivalric 'effort we shall set in motion the determined strength and the love of danger that pioneered and peopled a continent A Call to Arms. Bang went the rifles at the maneuvers. "Oo-oo!" screamed the pretty girl a nice, decorous, surprised little scream. She stepped backward into the surprised arms of a young man. "Oh," paid she. blushing, "I was frightened by the rifles. I beg your pardon." "Not at all," said the young man. "Let's go over and watch the artillery." Cincinnati Times-Star. THE GAME OF GOLF. It Is a Very Serious Matter With the Real Scot Enthusiast. In Fife and the Lothians every one plays golf men of leisure, workingmen and loafers, the last class producing the finest players. Many of the Scotch towns hate public courses, and even where they are private the artisan clubs may use them on generous terms. Says Stewart Dick in "The Pageant of the Forth:" "There is something very Scotch about the Scotch golfer. He seems to suit the leisurely and contemplative game. 'Keep your eye on the ball. "Slow back" and 'Aye be up' are written all over him. As a nation one would say the Scotch were professional, the English amateur, golfers, for there should be nothing dilettante about the game of golf. "How serious a matter it is may be Judged from the old story of the Scotch minister. Kmerging after a hot and unhallowed strife in the bunker, his profane words still echoing ia his ears, he mops his heated brow and exclaims bitterly: . ' Ah maun pie it up! Ah maun gie it upr " 'What T cries his partner in consternation. 'Gie up gowf? " 'No, he replies, with sublime scorn; 'gie up the meenistrjT "This is the real old golfing spirit which still survives round the shores of the Forth."

Richmond in 1912 and 1913. The year now growing to a close has been a most prosperous one for Richmond and the prospects for the new year are of the best. . For its size, Richmond is one of the largest manufacturing centers in the country and the bulk of its manufactured products are for the tilling of the soil, consequently they are always in demand. Such being the case, constant expansion of the various plants has been required and this in turn has caused regular extension of the payrolls. Crops the past year were so large that local industries have been able to afford employment to their thousands of workers practically all of the time. Several well known manufacturers have stated that the thought of any industrial disturbances for the coming year is furthest from their minds, for the orders now on hand assure the manufacturing interests of the city a new year which will probably surpass the one on which the leaf is soon to be turned. The housing trouble, caused by the constant increase in the population of the city, has been experienced during the past twelve months but not to the extent it was the previous year. The Commercial club now has the matter well in hand and it is to be hoped that organization will be able to offer some manner of relief in 1913. More general interest in civic affairs has been noticed during the present year which means good for the city, and indications strongly point to the fact that next year this movement will culminate in the election of a mayor capable of giving the city a real business administration, which it most urgently requires. One of the greatest needs of the city is additional traction service. One or two more lines entering Richmond, preferably from the north and south, would prove an excellent tonic for local business. Richmond is the natural market for a number of towns in Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio, but this trade is not available because it cannot be reached by traction lines. However, the business interests of the city are keenly alive to the necessity of making Richmond an important interurban center and a corporation has been formed which plans to construct a line leading north from Richmond into a most prosperous community, which will welcome the construction of the road as enthusiastically as Richmond citizens.

Taking everything into consideration Richmond is a mighty good place to live and work in and what the new year holds in store for us promises to be more than satisfactory.

The Bryan Banchee.

"Marse" Henry Watterson has seen the Bryan banshee again this time in President-elect Wilson's cal lnet in the role of dictator, so he has blended his voice with the yelps of the New Ycrk press in warning the Princeton professor he will rue the day he ever handed the Nebraskan a portfolio. The colonel admits that Bryan cannot be ignored but he would much prefer to see him as consul to Zanzibar or Timbucto than secretary of state, because the colonel is absolutely convinced that the Commoner has presidential aspirations, consequently it would be dangerous to place him in the cabinet. In a recent Louisville Courier-Journal editorial "Marse" Henry sounds this warning to all good Democrats: "Naturally the composition of Mr. Wilson's cabinet is of great and general interest and inevitably the newspapers are full of speculation as to this, that and the other possibility. These are at best guesswork. They may for the most part be described r the idlest chatter. Not a little of this chatter eddies around Mr. Br an. "Obviously Mr. Bryan cannot be ifenored. Obviously he should not be ignored. Thrice defeated, he received with each defeat more votes than were polled for Mr. Wilson, elected, and, in the last National Convention he put himself forward in his role oJ dictator and had his claim allowed. "He is superman in the eye of his following if not in his own eye. The plank he inserted in the platform, touching a single term for the nominee and the point he made for this in the campaign, raises the not unreasonable presumption that he is looking to the succession in 1916. That, upon the threshold, is a serious matter for the president-elect to consider. "As early as 1844 the question of an unselfish, homogeneous administrative family had taken such shape that Mr. Polk, in offering portfolios to the gentlemen invited to become members of his Cabinet, exacted of each of them the promise that in tl e event he became a candidate for the Presidential nomination in 1848 he would at once resign and withdraw. "If Mr. Wilson should not require this promise of Mr. Bryan could he hope for a wise, disinterested counsellor, and, if he should couple his offer by its exaction, would not Mr. Bryan's self-esteem regard it as an insult? 'No candidate for the presidency,' wrote Mr. Polk in his diary under date of Feb. 21, 1848, referring to Mr. Buchanan, his secretary of state, who had given the pledge and failed to keep it 'ought ever to remain in the cabinet. He is an unsafe adviser,' Elsewhere Mr. Polk says he would have dismissed Mr. Buchanan except, for public exigencies which he names. "The experience of Lincoln with Chase and of Harrison with Blaine, gives emphasis to the Polk dictum. With these records and examples before him can Mr. Wilson afford to have Mr. Bryan in his cabinet? Would Mr. Bryan not be from the start a marplot?"

WILLIAM P. McCOOMBS. William F. McCoombs, chairman of the National Democratic committee and manager of the Wilson presidential campaign, was born in Ashley, Arkansas, December 26, 1875. He received his preparatory education in Tennessee and in 1898 was graduated from Princeton University. Following this he attended the Harvard law school, from which he was graduated in 1901, and was then admitted to the New York bar. For several years he was employed as a clerk by a prominent law firm. He then opened an office of his own and before long had attained a high place in his profession. Prior to his taking charge of the recent campaign his only experience in practical politics was in 1904, when he was an unsuccessful candidate on the Democratic state ticket for the New York general assembly. Mr. McCombs has been a close friend of President-elect Wilson ever sine he was a student at Princeton, where the President-elect was at that time a professor.

FIRE DANGER AT SEA. How Flames Can Sweep the Inside of Even a Metal Ship. The danger from fire on a transatlantic liner is more serious than is generally believed. It is much greater than the danger from collision and is becoming more and more dangerous with the increased outlay upon luxury arid display. The main structure of the ship and most of its essential parts are of metal, but many of the fittings, near-

ly every feature of ornament and every trapping of luxury, are highly iuflam mable.

But the pineapple does not die after fruiting once. Down on the stem below the fruit and among the long, narrow leaves a sucker appears. If allowed to remain this will soon become the head of the plant, and within another year it will yield another fruit. This process may go on for a term of years. In the meantime, however, other suckers will make their appearance. These are broken off, and when stuck into the ground they put out roots and become other plants.

Good Roads are Needed by Farmers . To Further Their Many Interests

ISAAC L. TOTTEN. ! It is not the easiest thing in the j world to understand the farmer's mind ; at times. For reasons which we cannot un - demand, farmers will "sometimes oppose movem-. nts that mean much to thm boih from a viewpoint of p. of.: and of pleasure. The oiher day I read an article in The government bears a portion of the exjene of the 'farm manage ment" service to the amount of $1,300. The association of a commerce was to provide office rent, stenographer and stationery equivalent to. at least. $3t0 and the county board of sujvervisors was asked to appropriate $l.t"0 to make up the remainder needed. This service which the agriculture department was to give was entirely for th? b,n,fi of ttu farraers 10 htw them how to mak better use ot their j oppoi tunnies, to be mo.e modern in j their methods and more ! their business. successful in Is an Expert. The man who was assigned to take charge of the "farm management" service is a graduate of the agricultural that county had at his disposal a place to eo with his nroblems and nernlexgo with his problems and perple ities. j Now comes the surprising part of the incident. When the matter of appropriating the $1,m'0, as the county's share of the expense came up before the supervisors, had it not been for the practically unanimous vote of the city members, the proposition would have been defeated. Seventy-six percent of the tax comes from the city and twenty-four percent from the ok side townships, yet more than half the county supervisors were opposed to a service that is certain to make the farmers of that countymore prosperous. Another incident also came up in the matter of issuing bonds for $600,000 for the building of good roads, j The good roads were all to be in ;the country to make it easier for the farmers to market thir products. ' Twpnt v-fnnr nercent of the tav burden ,. , was aU tnat was asked of tne farm' era, wuiie me city was to pay seventysix percent, yet strange as it may seem, had it not been for the city vote the proposition would nave been lost. Instance after instance of this kind haul the produce a large number of farmers on the road would be opposed to it. Why? This is a bit of psychology which I will not attempt to explain here because I cannot. According to data that has been gathered on the road subject, a horse can pull 250 pounds over a muddy road, 1,500 pounds over dry dirt roads, 1.250 pounds over roads in bad condition: 3,300 pounds on the same road in good condition; 3.500 pounds on macadam roads, and 6,500 pounds on brick roads. If these figures are correct, It will jbe easy for any one to draw their con ! elusion as to what bad roads mean to ward reducing farm profits. The Farmers' Guide tells of a Ten nessee farmer who four years aeo had i baul a ton. The road was improved. j in one day and hauls a ton load eas- ; lily. : This means a saving of $30.00 per I I tun. Another Feature. There is another feature that enters into the road question and that is during certain seasons of the year it i is impossible to haul loads over bad ; roads. No matter how much the farmer i would like to get his produce to markjet, at that season of the year, it is im possible tor mm to ao so, and owing ;to this fact, the farmer on the bad1 i road is apt to lose many dollars be-! j cause he cannot get his crop to mark- i let at a certain time. j i In some sections of the country, ' ! there has been instances when prosignature f

duce had to be shipped in to the home market because the bad condition of the roads in these localities made it

impossible for the farmers there to jt - et similar produce to the market. An illustration has been given of a farmer on a muddy road who had 100 bushels of pouv.oes to market; but he cculd not the:'! to town so thev rotfe ! in the cellar. In the meantime, potatoes were worth ?l.4 per bushel at town.

Of course, it miiiil not be possible to jut accurate information ou this subject, yet 1 believe that it would be close enough to be conclusive evidence of tiiu of the greatest of all : farm wastes. j "There is more than one way to . meet tins road questi u. says a farm paper conti ibutor. "One can move to ft good road, he can settle down to live a life in the mud or he can move! to town and pay monstrous rates for i paved streets and sidewalks; but there is only one way to meet the question squarely aud settle it for all time, and that is; to improve the roads.
