When Everjihing Was Ciieap.
In 1896 the good Democratic
days of Clevelandism meats
were cheap as compared with
prices of today, but nobody had
money to buy the cheap" goods.
! There were millions of idle men
hungry men, women and chil-
dren and every city boasted of
its soup s houses, while to-day
there are no idle men and no
soup houses.
Perhaps there
wish to return
ire those who
to those old
Cleveland days!
Of course the
responsible for
new
Tariff is
increased
th.
le
cost of living! Supply and ability
to buy is the solution of high
prices, and no one knows this
better than your merchants.

THE DESOLATE HOME.
The desolate home no paint

nouse,
no honey-suckle
over tne coor, ana no iirne or
. i i i ,
money Tor trie comiorts wit run
that go to make a home, such
conditions are far-reaching in
their degrading eitects, especial
ly upon children. No amount of
schooling can dim the memory
or change the effect on the boy ;
of such a home, for the picture
that is burned into that boy's
brain lives forever. Is it any
wonder a boy raised under tnese
conditions hates the bight of a
cow,-und even the farm itself,
and is going to get away irom it
forever at the earliest opportu
nity?. Fortunately, in direct contrast
to this, there are other farm
homes supported by dairy herds
paying large profits, where the
enthusiasm of the father has
spread to the cnildren. "Sur
rounding these homes are neatly
mowed lawns, with flowers, trees
and vines around the painted,
well-kept house; and where
money is spent for home comfort.
Here the question of how to keep
boys on the farm never arises.
We are asking for a higher
civilization, but civilization costs
something, and in order for a
man to raise himself in the scale
of civilization he must increase
his earing power. The possibili
ties of increased yield and income
from rightly conducted dairying
is the lesson sought to be im
pressed upon the younger dairy-
man, ana wnn tins comes uie
wonderful stimulation of an inter
est in the things which concern
the farm. southern cultivation.

tim YOUNG MOTHER AND THE fr'AT KCG
I Not A Fabler; Simply Straight Goods.
One time a little mother' who
was o'nly ' -twenty-five years old,
began to feel tired all the time.
Her appetite had failed her for
weeks before the tired feeling
TT . 1 1 - . 1 -1
i-ume. rier mree little gn is,
once a joy in her life, now be
came a burden to her. It was,
"Mama," "Mama," all daylong.
She never had noticed these ap
peals until the tired fe:.ling
came. The little mother also
had red spots on her cheeks and
a slight dry cough. One day,
when dragging herself around,
I forcing her weary body to work,
she felt a sharp but slight pain
in her chest, her head grew dizzy
and suddenly her mouth filled
with blood. The hemorrhage
was not severe, but it left her
y weuk. The doc or she
had
ti I'
consulted for her cough and
ea let ling prescribed
ll Iters
made of alcohol, .water and
tian. This gave her
gen
false strength for a while, for it check
ed out her litte reserve. When
the hemorrhage occurred she
and all her neighbors knew she
had consumption, and the doctor
should have known it and told
her months before.
Now she wrote to the State
Board of Health and said: "I
am told that consumption in its
early stage can be cured by out
door lite, continued rest, and
plenty of plain, good food. I do
not want to die. ' I want to live
and raise my childreu eto make
them good citizens. Where can
I go to get. well?" The reply
was: "The great Christian
State of Indiana had not yet
risen . to the mighty economy of
saving the lives of little molhers
frdtfi consumption. At present,
the oniy place where you can go
is your grave. However, the State
will care' for your children in" an
orphan asylum after you are
dead, and then in a few ye :rs a
special officer. will be paid to find
a home for them. But save your
life Neven. That is a cranky
idea," for a member on the floor
of the Sixty-fifth Assembly said
so. ' 'Besides," said he, 4 'it isn't
business;
the State can't afford
it." ; So the little mother died of
the? preventable and curable!
disea's?, the home was broken up
and the children were taken
the orphan asylum.

A big fat hog one morning

GOOD ROADS.
We quote from a speech made
in the house of representatives
by William Sulzer, of New York,
on good roads, on June 9th,
which we would like all of our
people who believe in improving
the roads to read and study well
and then answer the question if
the expense of marketing their
.1 1
crops over tne roaas we now
have does not consume a large
portion of them. Mr. Sulzer
said in part:
4 'One of the crying needs in
this country, especially in the
South, and West, is good roads.
The establishment -of good roads
would in a great measure solve
the question of the high price of
food and the increasing cost of
living. By reducing the cost of
transportation, it would enable
tne larmer to market his pro
duce at a lower price and at a
larger profit at the same, time.
It would bring communities
closer together and in touch with
I the centers of population, thcre-
I by faciliating the commerce of
i :deaa as wel1 as of material pro-
ducts.
"When
the agricultural pro-
duction alone of the United
States for the past eleven years
totals $70,000,000,000, a sum to
stagger the imagination, and it
cost more . to take this product
from the farm to the railroad
station . than from such station
to the;. American and European
markets, and when tne saving in
cost of moving this product to agri
culture over good highways in
stead of bad would have built a
million miles of good roads, the
incalculable waste of bad roads

to 'transportation, mercantile, in

incomparably greater is the ma

children and the social life, a
matter as important as civiliza

declaration of Charles Summer
fifty years ogo, that the two
greatest forces for the advance
