How to Build Up or Tear Down This Community The Farmer and THERE can bo no doubt that tho prosperity of the country the entire people Is based on the quantity of produce RAISED ON THE FARMS, and no other one thing so seriously affects the business Interests of the country as a general crop failure. If tho crops are generally good throughout the country and happen to be a failure In one par ticular locality the merchants are not dependent on the homo farmer, but can have his goods, produce, etc., shipped In from other sections and thus supply the demand of his customers, while, on the other hand, THE FARMER IS ALWAYS DEPENDENT ON HIS HOME MERCHANTS the town or city which Is his marketing place and the home banks for the handling snd disposition of his products. THE MERCHANT NEVER BUYS HIS PRODUCE, HAY AND GRAIN FROM OUTSIDE POINTS WHEN HE CAN GET THEM FROM THE FARMER, BUT THAT THE FARMER IS GIVEN LARGELY TO THE PRACTICE OF ORDERING MANY OF HIS NEEDS FROM STORES IN OTHER CITIES, MORE PARTICULARLY THE LARGE MAIL ORDER HOUSES, IS A WELL KNOWN FACT. Not a day passes that goods of almost every description, from soaps to farm Implements, including gasoline engines, manuro spreaders, seed planters, cream separators, cooking stoves and ranges, clothing, groceries and what not, nre seen In our depots and express offices addressed to local farmers. MR. FARMER, DO YOU THINK IT RIGHT TO COME TO TOWN WITH A LOAD OF PRODUCE AND SELL IT TO THE MERCHANTS OF YOUR MARKET PLACE AND THEN TAKE THE MONEY HE PAYS YOU AND SEND IT TO SOME MAIL ORDER HOUSE AND BUY GOODS THAT YOU COULD BUY JUST AS CHEAPLY AT HOME AS FROM A MAIL ORDER HOUSE AND HAVE THE FURTHER SATISFACTION OF SEE ING WHAT YOU BUY? You may say, "Oh, well, I sold my butter and eggs to tho grocoryman, but he doesn't handle clothing!" Yes; but, my farmer friend, If the clothing man does not sell his clothing ho must go out of business, and tho groceryman loses a good customer, his business Is curtailed, and he then must needs buy less of your produce. You are just as much iu duty bound to buy your cloth ing, your hardware, your farm tools and other necessities from your homo market as if these merchants nil dealt in your wares first hand. THESE VARIOUS BUSINESSES ARE INTERLOCKING AND INTER DEPENDENT, AND ON THEIR SUCCESS DEPENDS YOUR SUCCESS. A certain good farmer In this county ordered a corn planter from a mall order house and, owing to delays In freights, did not get his planter in time to do his planting whllo a good spell of weather woS'fcn. However, It finally came, no got It to the farm, set it up and started In with his planting. Through carelessness or oversight a small gravel got In one of tho holes through which tho corn drops and there lodged, with tho result that tho plate was broken. This put tho planter out of commission. Tho farmer had to stop lis corn planting and come to town to seo If he could get another plate. He called on the hardware stores and implement dealers, but as none of them carried these mall order house planters in stock ho could And no plate, and the final result was ho was forced to follow the plow and drop his corn by hand. Had ho purchased his planter from n home merchant he could easily have got tho necessary repairs and not been delayed. It certainly was moro costly to tho farmer than if ho had paid his home implement dealer many dollars more. Furthermore, tho implement dealer had been buying corn every season from this farmer who bought his planter from a mall order house. Every dollar you send to a mail order house is taken out of local circula tion entirely, and tho good of it is lost forever. IT HURTS YOU IN THE LONG RUN Just as much as any one. Therefore, before you order anything else from out of your home town go to town and seo if you can find what you want, or if you can't get to town telephone a merchant, and if it Is a small package he will send it out by parcel post If It Isn't satisfactory send it hack. Merchants guarantee tho goods they sell Just as well as mall order houses. Thero is not a local merchant who will not treat you right Give him a chanco and ho will appreciate it To bo continued under tho' title, "THE STRENGTH OF THE WHEEL." BAREFOOT MAX OX STREET CAR. It Wns a Cleveland, Ohio, Xot a Honcsdalo Cat- Conventionality Tlirown to tho Winds Carries Shoes in His Lap and Balks at Pink Socks. Uncle Jeremy Beeman, prominent horso doctor and real estate dealer of Smlthville, Ind., rode barefoot with his shoes In his lap when he boarded a Broadway car at the Pub lic square in Cleveland, Ohio, Wed nesday to attend tho Beeman family reunion held at the homo of his cous in, Mrs. Josle Peebles, nee Beeman, at Newburg Heights. It wasn't because his shoes hurt him that ho rode barfoot with the shoes in his lap. Ho couldn't get them on. In fact, as he explained, the shoes he carried In his lap were not his own shoes at all, but those of a young man whom Undo Jenny Beeman could descrlbo only as a nlnnyhammer, a poplnjoy, a coxcomb and a nincompoop. This ninyhammer wore pink socks, smoked cigarettes in the smoking compartment of the Pullman, and occupied the berth below Uncle Jeremy's on tho trip to Cleveland, Mistake, Somewhere. Both had put their shoes on the floor to be polished. When Uncle Jerremy awoke' In Cleveland the berth beneath him was empty and his shoes wore gone. In their place were tho shoos which the young nin compoop had worn. Uncle Jeremy Beeman recog nized at once that his earlier Judg ment of the young nlnnyhammer had been too lenient. Any ordinary nlnnyhammer, he said, could not have mistaken his own for the shoes of Undo Jeremy. Uncle Jeremy looked out of tho window and saw a young man who looked like the nincompoop who took his shoes, going through the station gate. He grabbed his suit case In one W. W.

LEWIS the Merchant. hand and the young nincompoop's shoes in the other and ran after him Xot for Uncle Jeremy. The young nincompoop was half way up the hill when Uncle Jeremy Beeman overtook him. And then he turned out not to be the nincompoop who had walked off with Uncle Jeremy's shoes, but an entirely dif ferent young nincompoop whom Uncle Jeremy never had seen before. Uncle Jeremy Beeman made up his mind then, he said, that his shoes were gone for good and all. He tried again to put on the shoes the young nlnnyhammer had left him, but found ho couldn't even get his feet in them. The sox the young (fly-up-the- creek had left with the shoes were tho bright pink ones Uncle Jeremy had observed the previous evening. He decided that he would go bare foot. Thero might bo precedent for going barefoot, he said, but none for walking up the street in a pair of right pink socks. All's AVell That . Station policemen suggested that pink socks wero better than no sox at all, and that Uncle Jeremy would do well to wear them until he could get others. But Undo Jeremy said he'd be durned if he would wear pink sox either In Smlthvllle, Ind., or In Cleveland, O. 'i When JUnclo Jeremy Beeman got to Public Square he made; ud his mind thdre was no" sense squan dering his oney on a new pair of shoes when more than likely there would bo an old pair he could wear at Mrs. Joslo Peebles'. All the others at the reunion were surprised to see Uncle Jeremy com ing barefooted up tho street, carry Ing the shoes In his hand. Undo Jeremy was telling them all about the young popinjay and nlnnyhammer and nincompoop who bad no more sense than to walk off In the wrong pair of soes, when a messenger from union station ar rived with Uncle Jeremy's own shoes and a note requesting him to send back the others. The note said Uncle Jeremy's shoes had been found out of sight under the berth, and that when he ran off with the young nin compoop's shoes the young nin compoop, in traveling slippers, was shaving himself in the wash room of the Pullman.

PROGRESSIVBSM THREATENS RAGE So Dr. E-liot Tells Congress on School Hygiene, SEGREGATE DEFECTIVES I President Emeritus of Harvard and President of the Congress Recom mends Segregation as tho Only Solu tion of Problem Civilization Pro motes Own Destruction. The fourth International congress on, school hygiene the first to be held on American soil which has been In session at Buffalo, heard some direct language from Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard and president of the congress. "The progressive civilization of the last 100 years," he said, "has worked terribly against the health and per petuity of the whole race. This Is seen In the reduced vitality of the multi tudes that inhabit closely built cities, in the diminishing size of families. In the incapacity of many women for bearing and nursing children and in the disproportionate increase in tho number of the insane, tho defective and the criminally Inclined. "Such cities as Paris, London, Ber lin, New York nnd Chicago bear wit ness to tho fact that modern civiliza tion is all tho time preparing and pro moting Its own destruction. Segregation For Defectives. "It Is a plain duty of tho stito to provide segregation of tho defective, the insane nnd the habitual criminal In order to prevent the breeding of human beings from such stocki It Is not yet clear how good breeding can be promoted among free men and wo men, but it is clear now bad breeding can and should bo prevented. "The outcome of this international congress should be tho enlightenment of society concerning tho means of de fending civilization against its own tendencies of decay and dissolution and the strengthening of tho social resolution to put into execution nlUtho measures which Christian ethics and tho medical arts and sciences recom mend. "Among defensive measures nguiust the evils which crowded cities and the factory system have brought ou man kind the subject of this comparatively new sort of congress, school hygiene, Is of first Importance. Tho evils which result from bad housing, overcrowd ing and unwholesome excitement In cities and from the factory system which prevails in many important in dustries have their worst effect on 'children and young people. It is to tho rising generation, therefore, that preventive and remedial measures may bo most hopefully npplled." Over 2,000 Scientists Present Attending the congress wero upward of 2,000 scientists nnd educators, these coming from every civilized land. On behalf of the federal government Sec retary Wilson of the department of la bor extended tho nation's hand of friendship to tho visiting delegates. He said that school hygiene is one of tho greatest problems of the present day and was followed by Dr. John A. Ferrell of tho Rockefeller sanitary commission of Washington, who told pf tho work of tho commission in the southern states, and where, according to his paper, tbo investigators had ex amined COl.CSl persons, nnd of this number had found 320,573 infected with hookworm. "As an indirect cause of death," Dr. Ferrell said, "the hookworm has no equal. In many localities 80 to 100 per cent of children in tho schools have been found to bo Infected. These mako 00 per cent less of progress than do tho healthy children." TO MAKE TARS SWIMMERS. Trophy Offered to Enoourago Men to Learn to Float Himself an expert swimmer, Acting Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt has decided to try to In crease the Interest throughout tho Uulted States navy of officers and men in tho Indispensable art of swimming. His encouragement of tho sport will tako tho form of a largo trophy cup to bo competed for every year by tho per sonnel of tho battleships of tho At lantic fleet, to bo held for a year by the ship that shows tho largest qualified percentage of swimmers. Tho test is to bo arranged by tho commander In chief of tho fleet, and probably tho requirement wOl bo that each man shall bo ablo to swim a cer tain number of yards within a given time, tho distance and tlrao not being excessive. Tho malrr object of Mr. Roosevelt 1? to lncreasrftho number of men who could keep themselves afloat a reason able length of time If they fell over board or met with somo mishap Inci dent to tho service. Tho competition will apply to every man on hoard, from tho commanding officer down to tho latest enllstod man. It tho plan works out it will bo extended to tho other fleets. Swam While Asleep.

WILSON BELIEVES K UNITED ACTION Thinks a Concerted Stand by Party In Power Is Effective. WINS OVER REPUBLICANS. Stand In Mexican Crisis Helped to Unite the President and "Those Who Differed With Him Senate Is Not Pleased With Talk of Impeachment. Walsh of Montana In Limelight. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, Sept. 1. Special. President Wilson believes in govern ment by parties. He Just naturally falls into tho notion that more can bo leeompllshcd by tho party In power standing unitedly for a given policy or lino of action. Ho made the tariff a party Issue mid rather chagrined those Republicans of progressive tendencies who hoped to "help make a nonparti san tariff." He also proceeded along party lines to push tho currency bill. There was for a time a belief that tbo president was keeping the Mexican imbroglio within his party. Such charges wero made by Republican sen ators until finally thero wero froo con ferences between the president nnd nil members of tho foreign relations com mittees of. both houses. .That such conferences helped to unite congress to stand with tho president thero can bo no doubt Bacon -the Mediator. Senntor Bacon, chairman of tho com mittee on foreign relations, was tho mediator between tho administration and the Republican senators. Ho talk ed it over with Secretary Bryan and urged that the Republicans be called into conference on an Important foreign complication. Ho said the same things to the president telling both officials that before and during tho Spanish war President McKlnloy had dally con sultations with himself nnd other Dem ocrats. As a consequence of tho over tures of the Georgia senator the presi dent nnd Secretary Bryan have held frequent conferences with Republicans. Warren Sidestepped. Senator Warren of Wyoming, who Is an extensive sheep owner, was speaking on wool and was interrupted by Senator Martine of Now Jersey. "I have heard tho senator from Wyoming designated as 'tho greatest sheplionl since Father Abraham.' I suppose we should pay homage to him and hope to gain our aid and succor revising tho Biblical quotation for those lattel days from tho shepherd of today, the shepherd from Wyoming." "Do I still iiavo the senntor's love, co-opcratlon, confidence and respect?" inquired Warren. "Indeed, the senator always has my respect," replied Martino. "A man who can command so magnificent a per sonal presenco nnd a man who by his genius has been nblo to gather around him such a colossal herd as ho now has roaming tho plains of tho western part of the country will commond the respect of almost all his fellow citi zens." "Tho senator from New Jersey," said Warren, sidestepping, "always carries out tho teachings of tho Bible. I con gratulato and thank him." Senate Hopes Not. Talk of impeachment does not please the senate. It means long sessions de voted to a trial of a judge. In which evidence is taken, where attorneys and house managers do the talking and the senators sit quietly by. The senate doesn't like impeachments. Whero Are the Birds? During a discussion of birds Senator Williams Inquired about tho humming birds of Mississippi. "When I was a boy," ho said, "thero wero humming birds all over my part of tho country. Thero must have been COO varieties of them, nnd they wero of every color you could Imagine. Now I do not see a humming bird twlco In a season." Senntor McLean explained tlint the humming birds went to Cuba for the winter, where as many as 80,000 were killed in a winter, and they were sold at 2 cents n piece and mounted on hats of women as ornaments. Montana Heard From. In Senator Walsh Montana has a senator who has been moro In tho lime light than any of tho new senators. As a member of tho Judiciary commit tee bo has taken a leading part in the lobby Investigation. As a member of tho committee on privileges nnd elec tions ho has already begun nnd will take a prominent part In tho first case before that commltteo In this congress. Besides, ho has made several Impor tant speeches nnd taken a prominent part in tho debate on tho tariff. "Hall of Fame" Joke. Tho thousands of sightseers that pass through tho capltol every year do uot know that tho statuary hall, or tho "hall of fame," Is ono of the real Jokes of Washington. Tho grotesquo statues, in alleged statcsmenllkc poses, which different states Lavo placed in what was expected to bo tho "national valhalla," mako tbo placo ridiculous. As a nation wo ought to bo ashamed to have strangers from a foreign land leo It "It's a hideous Joke." remarked former Congressman Ben T. Cable tho other day. "They ought to be sent back to the states that presented n.otn " FRUIT GROWERS TO ENTERTAIN. State Horticultural Association Meets nt Gettysburg Sept. 10-11 Adams County Association Will Take Visitors Through Orchards". One of the events of tho year among fruit growers of Pennsylva nia will bo a Summer meeting of the State Hartlcultural Association at Gettysburg, September 10 and 11, with the Fruit Growers' Association of Adams county' as hosts. The afternoon and evening, of the 10th will be devoted to a short pro gram. Dr. J. P. Stewart and Prof. F. N. Fagan of State College will tako up problems of fruit growing. Both of these men have had wide opportunity to study the methods employed by the best growers in many states. Mr. R. G. Phillips, of Rochester, N. Y will explain the new apple package and grade law, passed a year ago by tho national government and Just now going Into effect. Every grower of apples should be familiar with the provisions of this law and Mr. Phlllipps will be glad to make clear any parts that are in doubt. Mr. U. G. Border, of Baltimore, has devoted much study in tho past two years to the questions of in creasing the consumption of apples by conducting an extensive advertis ing campaign. He will explain just how the work Is to be carried out and how it will apply to the growers as well as to the consumers of ap ples. A trip by automobile among the famous Adams county orchards is planned for the 11th. Adams Coun ty has a fine crop of apples this year and the sight-seeing trip promises to be most interesting. Growers and others who are interested in the de velopment of the apple industry are offering the use of their machines "for the trip nnd it is hoped that con veyances can bo secured in sufficient numbers to take care of the crowd. The secretary, Chester J. Tyson, of Flora Dale, Pa., should be notified by all persons desiring to take the trip so that ample provisions can be made. It is expected that the attendance at this meeting will be large. Adams county is known far and wide as one of the most -important fruit growing sections of the East, to which is add ed the attractions of the world fa mous Gettysburg Battlefield. FARMERS AND SPORTSMEN. It is pleasant news to learn that our farmer friends a"re beginning to understand that the United Sports men of Pennsylvania are their best friends. We, stand for all that is lawful, and will not for a moment stand for that which tends to lower tho stand ard of true sportsmanship. We cannot answer for the element tha't will wilfully tear down a stone wall to get a rabbit, or cut a wire fence rather than crawl over or un der, or not walk to a point where he can cross a fence. Tho man who will do these things is NOT a sports man; he is an unlawful libertine, and when found should be treated as such. CALL FOR DEMOCRATIC MEET ING.
