In 1880 only 28.6 per cent. of the people lived in the cities and 71.4 per cent. lived on the farms.

He talked of ‘coming up from the farm’ as if a farmer was at the bot. tom of the social ladder. Did you ever hear a chautauqua lecturer emit that oft-used phrase which runs: * I am looking into the faces of the country's future statesmen, and politicians, and engineers,” and everything else from astronomers to eye-doctors-—except the farmers? If a speaker ever sald he wis looking into the faces of the fu ture farmers of the nation, the audi ence would fall off thelr chairs. “This attitude is the fault of the farmer. He belittles himself. id you ever hear a man say: ‘Don’t ask me, I'm only a farmer?” If he ever wants to got national respect, he'll have to say: ‘Listen to me: I'm a farmer.” LOCAL RED (CROSS NEEDS ¥OUR Ar 8 4 {5h for Yi Necessary Detlelt It Work Fuces a Board Finds tall Much dertaken, of ure In fo Heretofore — * Ferm in Western Pen, A A———— Tobacco Crop Sold. # MeClenahan's FARM ithe market Graln House, ERS pay best We hb P £440 fis md of card For gives the Decide We have HOUSE ave re f finest YW building or repairing. nothing endurance nent to nothing but the it MCLENAHANS GRAIN Et ——— Easter Hats at Mrs. Henney's, Mrs. Lucy Henney recently received a fine assortment of Easter and spring hats and bonnets—something suited to all ages of customers.

Of course, each candidate will have a following, but the men and women who are always looking for crumbs and have mnde themselves belleve for years they are Republican leaders would be willing to follow any one of the can: didates certain to win, With these fit- ness is non-essential; they want to follow into the winnig camp. Forme er Judge Dale was the only “politic lan” who sensed the gut wagon when Pinchot was a oandidate four years ago, and he has had meat aplenty ever since-—a $6.000 job especially cre- ated for him, he ls enjoying now.
