National Destiny and Country Life The cause of the farmers has been misunderstood for many years. A wall of prejudice has been erected between the city dweller and the farmer. Neither understood the other. Fortunately, this condition was not permitted to reach a crisis, and today the agrarian and industrial interests are slowly drawing nearer. Even the press in the great industrial and commercial centers is beginning to appreciate the gravity of the farmer's position and is trying to help form public opinion to an understanding of the crisis that arises from his economic helplessness. The Chicago News illustrates the point. The recent report of the census bureau on the population of the United States, showing the drift of persons cityward, prompted that influential journal to assert "that the industrialization of this country is approaching that dangerous stage where the task of provisioning the people suggests forcible expansion beyond political boundaries and tariff walls into new fields of raw products. The pull toward the city, this disproportionate industrialization of the people that creates a volume of consumption out of balance with the production of raw materials, results in

an intricate and delicate economic fabric and in a seriously strained national mechanism with increased centralization of government." The ews believes that the increases of urban population at a rate seven times of the country is not attributable to the lack of land, nor to the fact that the country is crowded, but is due to an unintelligent rural policy. On this point it says : "The evil is largely in the instability and the meagerness of farm profits. For crops put in and cultivated at high cost, farmers have seen in recent weeks, for example, a sudden and unpredictable decline in prices which may wipe out their profits. A broad analysis of farm incomes made by the federal department of agriculture shows that the average farmer receives less than $500 a year for his work and management. An average profit of $9.61 a week affords no sound economic basis for the nation's food supply. "By better methods our cultivated lands could . be made to produce 10 to 100 per cent more than they now produce. Besides there is much vacant land. But this possible increase in production is restricted economically. Under present conditions increase in production does not always pay. Distributed, unorganized agricultural interests cannot compete for labor or for profits with the highly organized industries of the cities. Besides, there are many other obstructions, such as lack of agricultural skill and expert training on the part of a large proportion of the farmers. This, as in most other cases, such as lack of rural attractions and of educational facilities, is really an aspect of the farmer's general economic helplessness. "The American rural problem is not the least of the grave issues of the day that insistently demand the attention of constructive minds."

Answers to Questions

Old Reader When, and how did Great Britain capture Gibraltar from Spain? Gibraltar was captured in July, 1704, by Admiral Sir George Rooke. This famous admiral was born in 1650 and died In 1709. He did good service at the battles of Beachy Head and La Hogue In the war of the Spanish succession, also, he distinguished himself by destroying the combined fleets of France and Spain in Vigo Bay. "' His great service, however, was the capture of Gibraltar, a prize the value of which Was not recognized at the time. The British landing on the isthmus which joins the rock to the mainland of Spain carried the works by storm in the face of a heavy fire." Subscriber Please describe the Matterhorn? The Matterhorn is one of the peaks of Pennine Alps, one of the highest, rising to a height of 14,700 feet. It is situated in Southern Switzerland, near the town of Zermatt. The first successful attempt to climb the peak was made in 1865 by Edward Whimper, and resulted In the loss of four lives. The ascent is still a matter of great difficulty and danger.

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

THE APPRECIATOR. v Pat your horse on the nose every once and u, while and he will go twice as far. Even the dumb animal knows the weaning of appreciation. Thoy eay t hat "man can not lire by bread alone." That is right He muut h.ivn bread and appreciation for what lie does. Everything that Is beautiful In Art or Nature draws out the latent appreciation In people. One Is thrilled by a magnificent sunset or group of trees, or by some unusual sight of loveliness.' But the appreciator, as a product in life, seems to receive scant appreciation. If you want to get "cheered up" hunt out some genuine appreciator and walk around with him for awhile. You will leave htm. with the very perturue of his presence on your soul. I recently witnessed the play called "Abraham Lincoln." I noted that the playright had gotten one of the deepest characteristics of this great man his appreciation of every kindness and courtesy. All through this -unusual ilfe ot trial and travail was the little i,luse of a permanent habit "O, thank you!" We are bound to be more appreciated if we will but appreciate more. And the more you learn to appreciate, the more things of every character you are sure to appreciate. It is wonderful to acquire the reputation of an appreciator! The appreciator forms a part In the eternal link of time and circumstance and through its mist he pierces his endless smile that it may play among the stars of his better self dead to everything mean and sordid. The appreciator lives forever!

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

Physical culture lecturer says a woman should be able to touch the floor with her bands without bursting a seam in her clothes. But that would rob the stunt of the Invaluable element of surprise. FOOD AS A STIMULENT We are Informed by a learned scientist that food will shortly take the place of liquor as a popular stimulent. This is not an entirely new idea. If memory does not fail us entirely, Mr. Thomas A. Edison made the announcement about four or five years ago that it was entirely possible for a man to become intoxicated on food. Mr. Edison claimed there were food topers the same as drink topers. Uncle Horace Fletcher, who invented slow chewing before they put jazz bands In the restaurants to make people chew faster, held the same idea. He believed that men could go staggering home at night under the influence of clam chowder and porterhouse steaks. "The Elite lunchroom was the scene of a brawl last night which resulted in the arrest of seven men who had been In the place all day eating pimento sandwiches. Toward night they switched onto something F .ronger garlic salad. Several mirrors were smashed and the furniture was reduced to kindling wood." "Jerome Kinkle has been arrested for carrying a corned beef sandwich on the hip." "Elihu Pringle was arrested last evening while clinging to a lamppost after he had beaten up a taxicab driver. The man bad been on a bean Jag all week. He has taken the cure three times without result. He is believed to be one of the heaviest beaneaters in this town." Whales are the only animals that don't spout more in presidential year.

America expected nothing out of the war and got Just what she expected. The navy always keeps on fighting four or five years after the war is over.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

EVENED UP With Fate, unfair. I used to quarrel, because my hair was dingy sorrel. My neighbor, Horn, ha raven ringlets, that might adorn the brows of kinglets I envied him his tresses shining, and life seemed grim, and I was pining. The years have sped, as years skedaddle, and Horn's bald head looks like a saddle. And I have hair to feed the chickens; to Horn's despair it grows and thickens. I envied him when we were younger; now in his glim I see soul hunger. I see his eyes with envy kindle; oh, how he'd prize my liair all brindle! I envied Mott his unearned riches, when I was hot from toil in ditches. All Jealous-eyed I used to worry to see him ride In gorgeous surrey, while I chased hogs through prickly hedges, or whacked up logs with rusty wedges. But now he eats things predigested; by pies and meats he'd eoon.be bested. The doc doles out his daily vittles; a Brussels sprout he slowly whittles, and feeds to Mott the sickly shavings, which makes Mott hot and starts his ravings. Is his life sweet, or 6ad and tiring? And I can eat what I'm desiring. Vain envy seems, when swift years trim it; of all bad dreams it is the limit.

GABLES

DURING WAR ISA ROMANCE OF TRUTH

(From the New York Sun.) One would have imagined that in the flood or war romances and tragedies and mysteries told in news publications in the last six years, that there would be nothing more to tell, but now a new story of the war, concerning which only a few guarded words have previously been spoken, has come to light in a short news dispatch from Washington. This is the story of the cables, and how they were controlled by the allies during the war. The dispatch concerns the disposal of the former German cables, which are to be divided among the allies, but-the story which will be of most interest is that of how these Important systems of com munication that were blocked to the Germans during the war days when they needed their assistance the most. Cut in Straits of Dover. All the cables connecting Germany with far off countries have their base at Emden and all of them must pass through the Straits of Dover. August 4, 1914, ships of the British navy cut these cables and immediately the plot and intrigue and the secret instructions of destruction which had been gliding their swift way over the cables were stopped. The most important cable cut was the one which ran from -Emden to the Azores and from there to the United States. Germany was then forced to depend wholly upon her powerful wireless station at Nauen to spread her commands. The cables connecting Germany with her African possessions were also cut as well as those which carried her messages to the Isle of Yap and from there to the far East. In this way much important news was held up. U. S. and Japan Want Same Cables. It was not until 1917 that any attempt was made to turn the use of those cables into the Bervice of the allies. Then one of the cables running to the Azores and from there on to

the United States was repaired and diverted to connect with Halifax and

Penzance, England. The main splice was made at a point about six hundred miles off the shore of Xew York and carried from there to the Halifax station. At about the same time the French also diverted another cable to Serve them at Brest. Both of these cables are in service today. ' That the disposal of the German cables will be of tremendous Interest to all the countries concerned is assured. Of particular lnterst to the United States are the cables which center on the Isle of Yap and connect there with the Pacific cable, which send their messages to the Pacific Coast of the United States and to points in the far East. Lying between the United States possessions at Guam and the Philippine Islands, cable connections there are of vital importance to the interests of the United States. Similar control is also highly Important to the Japanese, and the question of the division of the spoils at thi3 important center is expected to engender difficulties.

Gooseberry tart and apple pudding reposed in all their luscious temptingness on the table in front of him. The boy liked both. He was torn by conflicting emotions. "Which will you have?" his mother asked. "Gooseberry tart," he replied after a long and painful struggle. "Tart what?" said his parent, wishing to make him add "please.' He didn't understand. "Tart what?" she repeated sharply. Then the boy had an idea which seemed to solve his difficulties and make the world bright once more. "Tart first," he answered. "We had a safe and sane Fourth of July, didn't we" inquired the aggressive person. "I dunno," answered the diffident man. "After listening to some of the unsafe and insane oratory I heard I would have been willing to compromise on ordinary fireworks."

by female trouble. 1 felt so tired all the time, had bad headaches, and for six months I could not work.' I was treated by a physician and took other remedies but got no relief. A friend told me about Lydia E. Pinkham's 'Vege table Compound and it has helped me

very much. I am well and strong and now able to do my work. I cannot thank you enough and I recommend your medicine to my friends who are sick." Mrs. Srsre Sacatanskt, 25 East 17th St., Bayonne, N. J. It must be admitted by every fair minded, intelligent person, that a medicine could not live and grow in popularity for over forty years, and today hold a record for 6uch wonderful success as does Lydia E.
