Clothcraft Clothes and that means that the best

Every Clothcraft garment is made in the
Clothcraft Plant. Nothing is " farmed out."
Clothcraft quality cannot be produced by the
sweat-shop method.
Clothcraft has a dozen distinct features not'
found in any other ready-for-service clothing and
the big feature is that all the cloth used is wool,
all wool and nothing but wool. And this is true
of no other line on earth.

SPEECH OF HON.
JOHN W. REED.
Delivered Before the Jefferson Co.
Pomona Grange, at K. of P. Hall,
Brookville, Pa., March 8, 1905.
jlfr. Chairman, ImiUi'k ami (kulhmi n :
I thank you for admitting mo into
your presence for the prlvllego of ad
dressing you on this occasion. I am not
ignorant of the fact that your organiza
tion recognizes the brotherhood of man
in the broadest senso of that term, but
I urn conscious of my lilultHtions. In
the complexity of human affairs and In
the diversity of human interests, classi
fication and organization are legitimate
outgrowths, and the agriculturalist
never did a wiser thing than when he
recognized the great law of progress by
organizing the farmers of this country
for mutual protection and for mutual
ad"antugo. I need not puuse to ai guo
tl 'uestion with you for you know the
pt ,. 'and benefits which flow from
your organization better than I do.
The Individual farmer never has been
very aggressive in asserting either his
power or his rights, but it is written,
"Blessed are tlio mook for they shall
inherit the earth," and this perhaps ac
counts for tho fact that tho tillers of
the Boil aro in very truth the lords of
creation to-day. One of tho greatest
dolusions with which man .lias been
afliicted since he was born into this world
is that grout wealth is essential to hap
piness. We frtit and worry and strlvo
for what? For happiness : oh, no !
Wo frot and worry and strive to accum
ulate a little moro of this world's goods
than is possessed by our neighbor, and
at last we roll it all in a heap at the
edge of the gravo and go down in, leav
ing it all behind. My friends, this
world was made for tho common people
and God in His iulinite ivl-dom bus
miido ample provision for them to en
joy it to the fullest extent. Everything
essential to man's happiness exists In
abundance all arouml him, or at least
within easy reach, l'uro sparkling wa
ter, life-invigorating air, singing birds,
tho flowors of tho field, the sunshine of
hoaven, and the ring of merry laugh
ter. Upon these foundation Btonos you
can build a life that will beam out on
the world like a bonofaction, and make
tho multi-millionaire turn green with
envy. If you will but plerco tho earth
water will gush forth to slack your
thirst. Plant trees and the birds of tho
air will lodge In thorn and fill your
homo with a molody like unto tho angel
sing of i peace on earth, good will to
men. Cultlvato flowers and they will
laden the air with their perfume.

sunlight and rejoice for the Lord rules
and man is his own worst enemy. But
we must not make the mistake of sup
possing that all these good things will
be thrust upon us or givem to us with
out any effort on our part to acquire
them. I never knew a farm that would
run ltsolf. In fact I never knew of any
kind of business that would go without
a driver. ' I know of lots of enterprises
that aro run like David Ilarum'a horse
They will stand without hitching, but
when you want thorn to go you muBt ln
dulge in a littio coaxing. I know an
old man one time who In his anger
stated a vory philosophical question.
Ilo was rather passionate, and he was
trying to pull a one horso wagon up a
grade into the barn. He had raised a
littio sawed off follow whose first name
was Joseph, and this little follow was
holping tbo old man to get the wagon
up into the burn. Things woro not g(e
ing right, and tho old man got mud. He
let go of the shafts and turned on Jo
seph with the exclamation : What the
d 1 are you doing Joseph ? Are you
jKishing or a pulling.'' The answer to
that question eolves the problem. If
you want your business to grow, you
must bo a pusher, and not a puller ; a
builder-up and not a tearer-down. Life
is what you make it, and you can get out
of it all that you aro entitled to.
There is no more respectable or lion
orablo business than that of farming,
and the man who is engaged in the pur
suit of agrlculturo is the freest and most
independent of all mon. He has ills
trials and tribulations, of course he has.
vvil; you he so good as to show me a
man who is not beset with real or Im
aginary ills, whatever his occupation
may bo. But of a truth nine-tenths of
all our troubles in this life never como to
pass. If wo would learn tho philosophy
of living ono day at a time and, like tho
humming bird that sips the flower, ex-
truet from that ono duy all tho sweet
ness possible, wo would not have one
trial or tribulation for every ten we now
have. I havo a littio motto hanging in
my library entitled "But Once." It
roads liko this : "I shall pass through
this world but onco. Any good there
fore that I can do or any kindness that
I can show to any human being, let mo
do it now ; lot mo not defor or neglect
It, for I shnll not pass this way again."
Thoro is a boutonnlero that every man,
woman and child ought to wear. What
a glorious world this would be to live in
if envy, hatred and spito woro sup
planted by tho gospol of love, good will
and peace ; If the disposition to weave
out of tho misfortunes of others a crown
of glory for ourselves could bo eliminat
ed and wo could have in its place a dis
position to share tho blessings of this
life in kindly helpfulness with our
brother maoA In these days of great
corporate interests we soe, or think wo
see, much of danger menace to the
foundation upon which tho grcat-nx'so.
of tho Amorican Bopubllo rests. Tho
ono thing that flroB tho zeal of man and
brings out tho best that Is in him is
individual proprietorship or dominion,
tho opportunity to acquire for himself
a proporty or businoss that ho can call
his own. This is tho greatest element
of strength in any nation, and to Ignore
or neglect it is to invite disaster. The
vital, vibrating cord that holds tho
peoplo together and gives tho nation its
greatness is individual opportunity to
become a sovorolgn. A nation may be
commercially and politically groat ; its
territorial limits may stretch from sea
to sea ; its natural and material re
sources may bo inoxhaustible, and its
treasuries overflowing with gold ; but
if the right of tho individual to par
ticipate in tho ownorship of his country
is denied him, that nation is inherently
weak. It is easily within tho memory
of those present when the shoos we
wore wero mado at home ; tho plows,
stoves and various appliances of life
were largely furnished by tho small
manufacturer found In every country
town. Over the door of his place of
businoss hung the sign of the sovereign
within. But all this has changed. The
small dealer and the small manufac
turer are bolng driven out of business
by the large corporations, and tho basis
of individual proprietorship Is narrow
ing. When a man soils out bis business
now ho rarely invosts in another enter
prise because tho opportunities for the
small capitalist to go into business are
vory limited, and consequently ho de
posits his money in the bank. Large
sums lying idle in the banks do not
necessarily indicate great national
wealth or prosperity, but rather that
the great bulk of tho peoplo have no
business that they can call their own,
or in which to invost thoir money. The
large commercial and industrial Inter
ests of this country to-day are in the
hands and within tho control of a few
peoplo, comparatively speaking. Tho
young man is confronted with a serious
problem as he looks out on tho business
world. A few captains of industry con
trol the. situation, and it looks as if
there was nothing for him to do but to
accept, employment with somo of them
and forever remain an employee. There
Is no inspiration in a situation like that;
nothing to excite one's ambition to be
come Influential In his country's affairs,
or to do great things. The corporation,
howover, is here to stay. It Is not an
evil In itself. It Is absolutely necessary
for the development of our national re
sources and for currying on the business
of the country. There is no occasion
for hostility to it, and the remedy for
adjusting matten and for opening up
tho way to Individual opportunity to
participate in tho proprietorship of tho
country must be looked for elsewhere
than in tho extinguishment of the cor
poration. But it is not my purpose on
this occasion to discuss this great and
controverted question. It has been said
that the blackest cloud has a silver
lining. I am not a pessimist but an op
timist, and therefore I prefer to look
at the lifting of the cloud. FHrm prop
erty and products represent approxi
mately one-half of the wealth of the
country, and here Is a wide field for In
dividual ownership. Here is an oppor
tunity to acquire property; to become
a king and toexorcise absolute dominion
over your possessions. Let mo repoat
that tho farmers are tho lords of crea
tion, and their business la of greater
magnitude and of greater importance
to tho people tnun any other business
bolng curried on in tho United States
to-day. The huy crop lust year Is re
ported as worth more than tho entire
output of tho great Steel Trust that wo
hear so much about. The by-products
of the farm, eggs, milk aud butter, If
they may be so designated, I have no
doubt, greatly exceed in value tho by
products of tho giant Standard Oil
Trust, and I um told these are its most
valuable assets.
The farming industry not only pre
sents tho opportunity of individual
proprietorship, which is both the
strength and prosperity of ft nation
whon reduced to thoir last analysis, but
it is the freest and most independent
business in which a man can engage.
It is a business that can be made profit
able and from which can bo derived the
grentest comforts and the highest
enjoyments to which flosh Is holr.
Romember I am speaking pf oppor
tunity. A man can bo unhappy and
miserable in any occupation, but on the
farm ho can bo M ncur heaven as ho
will ever got in tho present life. Are
there failures on tho farm ? Of course
there are. It requires brain and energy
and push to muko a success on the farm
as it does in any other occupation. If
everything about the farm is allowed to
go to rack and ruin ; if tho buildings
are allowed to full into a state of dilapi
dation ; tho furm machinery to stand
out in all kinds of weather to i ust and
full into a condition of disrepair that
would mako saints swoar in trying to
operate it ; if tho stock on tho farm
Is compelled In bad weather to hunt
the off-side of a tree for shelter ; if all
your Burroundings indicate a junk-heap
rather than a well ordered and woll
regulated farm, you can hardly ex
pect to get lurgo profits or much com
fort und happiness out of a business
thus managed and thus conducted.
Again it may be said that you are
liable to meet with discouragements on
tho farm. Sure, Do you know any
place on earth that Is exempt from
grievous losses and serious discourage
ments ? On the furm it may be a
dovestating drought ; a blighting frost;
tho epizootic ; hog cholera; bots, ticks,
gapes or some other stock affliction or
