It is habit you want to produce—the habit of reading your ads,
coming to your store, buying your goods.
This is the only way to keep your merchandise continually on

conditions socialindustrinl and politica!

wns printed lrecember 8 and was
followed by others which, for graphic
description and masterly presentation

Sutherland is familinr to newspaper

North American to the Boer Republic
in the concluding days of Kruger’s
Presidency, as a stafl correspondent for
the same paper in the mining districts
of Pennsylvania, his work attracted
widest popular interest as well as the
clo-est consideration of the students of
economics, politicaland otherwise. Mr.
Sutherland is conservative and of the
widest intelligence. His articles are of
unique interest, as they are characteriz-
ed by truth. Prejudice, either for or
against a master-ridden race, does not
enter into the work. So far as one of
blood and flesh may do so, Mr. Suther-
land has divested himself of human
sympathy and gives the plan cold facts
of the situation. Ireland’s wrongs, her
real constitutional injuries and her
oppressed state have not been told of
Jate. Government espionage, the cer-
tainty of a term in jail, social and busi-
ness boycott operate as a press censor-
ship in Great Britain as though, if less
direct, as in autocratic Russia. News-
papers dare not print, correspondents
dare not tell the story of Ireland’s woes.
Public speech is a felony, the printing
of a Nationalist newspaper in Ireland
a crime without defense.

Correspondence ConrEes in Agri-
culture.
The Pennsylvania State College has
for a number of years been conducting
for the benefit of the farmers of this
state, correspondence courses in agri-
culture. The present year the College
is offering courses in thirty different
subjects. Each course consists of from
five to ten lessons on the subject treated.
While each is complete in itself, these
courses may be conveniently arranged
in groups according to the special
phase of agriculture of which they
treat. Arrangingthem in these groups,
it is found that there are eight courses
in General Agriculture, seven courses
in Animal Industry, four courses in
Horticulture, six courses in Dairying
and five miscellaneous courses.
The student is required to report on
each lesson before the following lesson
of the course is sent him, in order that
the instructor may judge of his prepar-
ation and ability to proceed further
with the work.
Tuition is free in all of these courses,
and most of them are given independent
of text books, the only expense of any
kind to the student being for paper on
which to make his report and postage
on these reports as sent in to the
College. In order to obtain the benefit
of these courses it is necessary that
students make formal application for
enroliment to the ‘Superintendent of
the Correspondence Courses, State
College, Centre County, Pa.
Report from the Reform School.
J. G. Gluck, Superintendent, Prunty-
town, W. Va., writes : “After trying
all other advertised cough medicines
we have decided to use Foley’s Honey

most effective and absolutely harm-
less.” E. H. Miller.

and will prove themselves wvaluable
assistants of a very good sheriff.
When a farmer who saw a football
game the other day was asked about
it by a neighbor, he said: *“Neothin’ to
tell. Just let twenty big hogs out on a
soft field any day and then throw down
a peck or so of corn in a sack and see
’em go for it, and you'll know “bout
what a game of football looks like to a
farmer. Only the hogs don’t cripple
each other quite so badly.”—Ex.
Milton and Richard Beachy started
for Esbon, Kans, last Wednesday
morning. They went as far as Fair-

so they returned on the evening train
finding their mother somewhat improv-
ed and out of danger by the next morn-
ing, when they resumed their journey
home. —Carleton (Neb.) Leader.
