The Farm and the Farmer By William' R. Sanborn

GOV. McCRAY'S ADDRESS I In bis address before the convenlion of the Indiana farm bureau last Saturday Governor McCray said that farmers are bearing an. unfair proportion of taxes, and That he la doing everything he can to hold down, state administration expenses and to prevent waste of the taxpayer's money! He favored an income tax and the removal of tax exemptions from most of present non-taxable securities. Me pointed out, however, that high taxes are mostly local affairs, "because most of the taxes are spent for local purposes, and are levied by local officials. Congressman A. ; L. Dickinson, of Algona, la.,, the principal speaker at the session, said that: "The one big accomplishment of the farm bloc in congress Is the fact that through It we have made the cause of agriculture heard. The attention of the master minds of the day has been Attracted . to our cause. Farming interests hare ; been mentioned of tener, and bare had more space In all the big newspapers and trade Journals than In any other five years. We have passed more agricultural legislation than, at any other period in the history of the country." The speaker Insisted that all the . farm bloc wants is to make farming a substantial business that will pay a "living wage." He said that: "AH our legislation, passed, or proposed, has sought this . end." He challenged anyone to show that this legislation is economically unsound, or tinctured by class feeling or in any wsy against public policy or the general good. "It has long been my contention," said he, "that the problem of the farm is largely a matter of what your produce will bring, not what you are compelled to pay for what you consume." Next Legislature In the incoming etate legislature which convenes in Januarys there will be 12 tanners In th senate and 44 , farmers In the house of ' representa- ; tlves. With reference to this preponiderance of rurallsta a speaker at the : recent convention, suid: "The voters of Indiana have honored us. We must discriminate the good bills from the bad bills. There will be many bills offered of a political and selfish nature, as well as many good bills which will merit our support. We shall discriminate in our action on these bills, but the public must have patience while we endeavor to do tie best possible for the whole people. County Agent Dolan'ls in receipt of a postal card from Robert Ranck, of Centerville, pig club champion at the last two Wayne cour.ty fairs. Robert writes from the Chicago International, where he says the Indiana club contintent Is having a dandy time, which Is doubtless the tact. All the honor ciud youngsters visited Purdue and from Lafayette went on to Chicago where are assembled members of various agricultural clubs from all parts of the country. Having tho key to the city 1 and being down for shows and entertainments galore, ss guests of both . the show and the city, the youngsters are enjoying ever-to be remembered jRed Letter days. Isaac Wilson's Feeders ' ' . Isaac Wilson, well known farmer and feeder living south, of town on the Liberty pike, received a carload of feeder cattle front Kansas City a few days ago. There are forty head of them, all solid red. Shorthorn grades, judging from appearance, and about as likely a bunch as one could wish. Mr. Wilson did not go to Kansas City to make his own selections, but entrusted the Job to a commission, man named Stanley who operates In that market The cattle are an even-sized bunch, averaging around 550 pounds and are of the type that should make fine beef when fed out. Mr. Wilson always has a lot of hogs on the place and on Tuesday reduced the number- Off feed by selling 38 head to Rome Shurley, at the Glen Miller stock yards.Valuable Chickens Stolen. The most noted chicken robbery we have ever heard of 'occurred at the American Express room at the Illinois Central station on the lake front, in the heart of Chicago, on Monday even ing. Fortyone crates of fancy , S. C .White Leghorns, consigned to Theodore Hewes, secretary of the National Poultry show, now being held at the I Coliseum, were received from " Hill ;Vlew Leghorn ffrm, at Benld, HI., at 6 o'clock. When Manager Gloeckl, of Hill View, called for his birds at 8 o'clock he was shown the shipping reup congestion V-rrmmrm thn nalnfnl rliMt with a tight, clinging cold. Don't , let that develop. Break up the congestion and you are relieved of your cold. Apply Sloan's.. . Don't rob. It WiWrafcs strikes right into the sore spot, warms it up, starts the Wood coming and going. This simple, effective action banishes the congestion. Truly. "Tht WrlTt Ltnimtnt." Soan'aeases backache, neuralgia, sore, aching muscles, rheumatic twinges all the pains of congestion.

ceipt, which had been signed by one of four unlndentifled men who had hauled the chickens away in a truck at 6 o'clock. "Twelve years of my life's work has been wiped out -as a result of this loss," said Manager Gloecki. "While our estimated value of the birds Is $15,000, the actual loss , to HllLView farm would be at least 150,000V We could not replace one of the birds In America. I sold more than $2,000 worth of eggs from the hens mated to this bird this year." The American Railway Express company is being held responsible for the loss,, and has put a number of detectives on the case. Two or Three detectives of the city force have also been assigned to assist In ferreting the guilty parties out. It will be interesting to learn what is back of this robbery and the why of it, and whether these show birds have been sold for holiday poultry. Tfae Express company will spare no expanse in running the matter down, that is a certainty. The intercollegiate student poultry Judging contest will be held at the Coliseum Saturday. Teams from Purdue, . Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri. Michigan and. Wisconsin will compete. Each team will Judge four classes of Leghorns, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks. The Live Stock Show "There Is one exposition of tlfe many held during the year in this city," says the Chicago Tribune, "which has an especial significence. It is the International Live Stock exposition held annually at Dexter pavilion. Agriculture and especially that branch called animal husbandry or Just plain live stock is the mother of -Chicago. Transportation may be called the father, but. without the products of the farm, especially corn and corn fed stock, there would have been no railroads. The matrix of Chicago Is the black soil country of the great valley, which has made not only this metropolis of miraculous growth but the richest agricultural region on earth. "So to every intelligent Chicagoan this exposition of live stock must be not only interesting for its displays, but significant as- a picture of the source of our city's wealth and power, without which both would quickly fade away. "Perhaps It Is not doing the exposition a good turn to say a visit to it is an educational experience, but so it is, and one which every dweller in citiesJ ought to have. We do not underestimate the importance of cities or of those activities which, are carried on by city dwellers. W4 should have no civilization without them. Human life, including the life of the farm, would lose most of what gives security, complay of M . SL sians EXTRA 617 Main

Nevertheless, the city can not exist without the country, a truism we sometimes forget, and we in Chicago, a giant sprung from the soil and more closely related to and dependent upon the prosperity of the farm and the progress of the art and science of agriculture than most cities, should never forget it Our school children should learn it early and there Is no place like the live stock show for giving them the' lesson in its most eloquent and stimulating expression." Are Leaders of Progress The editor concludes his story of the International show with a touch of optimism which will especially appeal at thi3 time, in which he says: "As for us older visitors, the exposition is a sermon in optimism. It reminds us that the modern farm, with its diversified activities, is a laboratory where the inexhaustible mine of nature is being worked with steadily increasing profit. The thousands of farmers and stock raisers who year by year perfect their methods and their product are practical scientists, creators of wealth for all the world, leaders of human progress. T6 come in contact with them, to study their triumphs, is an inspiration. At a time like the present when so heavy a cloud hangs over the world, when debts pile high and wars are making, it is good to find men' in a rivalry for the common good, winning victories which are as beneficent to the vanquished as the victor, building for all and not destroying."
