With this issue tlu- Indicator be ! gins its third year. In a thougthless moment two years ago, we laid down the plow to take up the pen. We hud grown tired of plowing out roots and yellow jackets and be ing hissed at by reptiles hidden un der the delusive morning glories and thought we would henceforth follow the more peaceful occupation of jour nalism. Hut we Hnd the pen catches on hid den roots and rocks just like the plow- It takes the energy and watchful ness to keep it from dipping to deep I into the subscil of that which does not belong to the functions of the village newspaper, and, on the other hand, from running too shallow as well. There are bumblebees and yellow jackets in journalism. Throw a club in the right place anil you'll find it out. There are snakes in the grass. There are both droughts and water spouts of news. And groundhog holes come frequent in the news paper business. But with these there are the joys of the friendly sunshine of those who kindly appreciate your efforts. J And as on the farm, there are the | daisies and yellow corn and the birds singing in the trees. And the green I pastures with their gurgling brooks I lie before you and draws you on. Why cannot the farmer today en-1 ter the labor market and bid success- j fully against the others who are look- j ing for help? The fact is most un skilled labor leave the farm and go j to public works, performing the j meanest drudgery rather than fol- j low the plow. It may be that some j despise the plow but thai is not the main reason. A few days ago a man i who was reared on the farm but is! now working as a track hand on the railroad remarked that he much pre-1 ferred the farm and hoped to get j back to it but at present he would , work for the corporation because it ; paid better. For doing the hard work, of help ing to keep a railroad track in repair 1 in a lonely mountain pass he is get ting $40.00 per month. His work I requires muscle only. The modern farm needs much more than that,yet no farm in the section could pay §40.00 per month or anywhere near for muscle only. The farm today needs intelligence i and skill equal to that of the factory | or of the counting room- Let no, one smile until he has worked a sea son on a well equipped fan. The farmer can ill afford to hitch a loam of high priced horses to a costly and complicated machine and then put a boor on the seat to drive. Vet he must do it and for some time past many have been glad to get the boor. Few will contend that this is as it ; should l»e nor must continue to lie so. When the farmer gets a full appre ciation of the importance and dig nity of his calling and a clear concep- \ tion of what Is his by right it will not be so. The grange is taking; the lead on giving this knowledge and is organizing the power of the j farm, not to trample on the rights, of the others but to battle for simple i justice. When justice is secured the farm will be able to pay as much for | a man to fed and care for a valuable j team and a binder as a railroad can j pay for an engeneer to haul the pro- j ducts from the farm to the market. | A Happy Surprise All day Friday there were symp- 1 j toms manifesting something was! I going to happen and so it kept the I household in constant expectancy. | j with an apparent failure, when loj and behold there was heard a ! strange rap at the door, anil then 1 |it was clear what those strange; : things meant all day. They kept j coming in until the spacious house lof H. Mead was filled with friends 1 who wished to give them a real old , fashioned surprise. After exchange lof greetings and good wishes the ' game of Pit was the attraction of | the evening, with Mrs. T. J.Keeler and Rev. H. H. Kngler leading in calling out "corner." Very de lightful refreshments were served followed with singing of hymns and songs. The evening was altogeth er too short for such an entertaing ; company. William E.
