He Treat Pope as He Should and i Worthy of Praise by American.. A few month ago the refusal of the Pope of Rome to ieceive ex vice president Fairbanks unless Mr. Fairbanks would agree not to de liver an address at the American Methodist church in Rome, attract ed the attention of the country. While Mr. Fairbanks had not been a person to excite enthusiasm, the heart of the American People or at least of those Americans who appreciate the meaning of liberty warmed to him when he promptly declined the conditions laid down by the Pope and deliv ered the address which he had agreed to deliver at the Methodist church. In view of this attitude of the Pope, the American public has been anxious to see how Mr. Roosevelt would meet the situation when he got to Rome. Exactly the same conditions were laid down and Mr. Roosevelt has met them in a manner worthy of American citizenship. He will not see the Pope. In February Mr. Roosevelt wrote the American ambassador at Rome with reference to an audi ence with the Pope and the King of Italy on the occasion of his visit to Rome. The reply was that the "Holy Father" would "be delight ed to grant an audience to Mr. Roosevett on April 5, and hopes that nothing will arise to prevent it, such os the much -regretted in cident which made the reception of Mr. Fairbanks impassible?'7 Mr. Roosevelt replied in effect that while he would be pleased to be presented to the 'Holy Father" he' "must decline to make any stip ulations or submit to any condi tions which will in any way limit my freedom of conduct." There upon Mr. Roosevelt was advised that the audience with the Pope could not take place except on the understanding expressed, and thus the matter ended. Glory to Mr. Roosevelt ! It is said that the Pope's restric tiohs apply only to the Methodist church in Rome and not to the other denominations, the Metho dists being objeetional to the Pope on account of their alleged proselyt ing among the Catholics.

Talk is cheap and sometimes beau tiful, but it must produce some thing to amount to anything. Did you ever 'stop to consider that the violet never produces anything? It is beautiful, sweet-scented, but it produces only colorless flowers. Bryan's theories are colorless and seedless. You might p ant a har vest of them and you wouldn't get enough, results to save a starving tomtit. Yellow Jacket.

Our Demands Have Grown So Great That it Takes $3 Now to Get Along on What $2 Would Have Provided Ten Years Ago. The magazines are full of it, and even Congress has gravely entered upon the work of looking into the matter. It makes one think less of our law makers to see them under take to discover a thing which if they found would hasten to con ceal for fear it woald hurt the party. We are glad to see that Senator Simmons had the wisdom to withdraw from the Committee appointed to go into the matter. He could not afford to humor the ioke. Well, what is the cause! anyhow 1 We believe there is a j cause and we believe futherraore that everybody knows exactly what it is. It is not the trust nor the tariff, though these public enemies . may contribute somewhat to the high prices of food stuffs. But we all know that the unprece dented prices we have to pay for eggs, butter, flour, corn, coffee, lard, bacon, pork, shoes, clothing and hats do not account for all the the money that we spend. The price of provisions does not affect us as much as it did twenty-five years ago. A man can sua sup-, port a family of three or four on twenty -five dollars a month for gro ceries. The tra'uble lies eisewnere and! we all know jt. , Our demands j have grown so' great that it takes three dollars now to get along on whatUwo would have provided ten years1 agor-We are; living at a high! rate of speed. For instance: a family inordinary circumstances in town were formerly content with John D. Kerosine lamps to furnish light for all that were in the house; now they must have electric light. Then they went to the stores to do their shopping; now they buy goods by telephone. Five dollars was once considered a big ' price for a spring hat; now the cost ranges from ten to thirty-five dollars. The reason living is so high these days" is that poor folks are trying to live like millionaires. The theatre is papronized by . dry goods clerks who take their girls to the show at $1.00 a seat. The -children must have their nickles aiid dimes every day to see thei pictures; and so it goes. Congress need not bother its head about ; this ; matter. We all know where-the trouble lies and we ought not to trylto fool ourselvs. Charity and Children. Watch for: the Comet. The Red Dragon of the sky. Watch the children for spring coughs and colds.'

Prices of Land and What it Will Pro duce Homestead Land Cheap. In answer to several inquiries made by old acquaintences, I take this liberty, with the Editors premission, of answering a few questions and giving a brief- description of this section of the Contentinal State. Colorddo is looked upon by a good many peaple of the east as a very uncertain land to make the neces sary bread and meat. As for bread, the average for ,all this irrigated country is about 40 bushels of wheat to the acre, and that without any fertilizer or extra preparatian. I know of many fields that went 60 bushels. Corn is not raised very ex tensively as it only produces from 35 to 75 bushels per acre and is general ly damaged to some extent by . the corn worms. Now 'how about the meat? I expect Nthere are others asking the same question, but farm ers really ought not to be among that number: I bought a bunch of shotes about July 1 and turned them in on alfalfa and fed cull cantelopes until October 1 then finished out with beets and corn. The hogs cost $3.50 per head and sold for $19.00 per head. . The sooner vou farmers do some fencing and pasture your hocrs on clover and young sorghum the better. An unusual happening come across the border" last night, one of the boys had left a large sack "of beet seed in the field, and I had left all my old coats and jumpers laying around in various unknown places on the farm, and then did fall one great old gully washer. It was the first rain that has fell here in lo these many days. Even our most anti quated old rooster came waltzing out as soon asr he- could see his way clear to get' his part of the Kaffir i corn-he thought was falling on the tin roof, and the hens followed suit. April fool you know. ' A number of your readers want to know the price of land and the., pro bable ruturns of crops raised. Home stead land 10 cents per acre cash and live on same as often as you can for five years, results uncertain. . Under new ditch not fully developed the land and water rights sell for about $50.00. As soon as a reliable flow of water comes in the canal the price is about $75.00. Improved land under good ditch with excel! ant schools, roads, telephone, . free delivery and nearby markets, .' sych as we enjoy here, is well worth $100 and it produces under fair cultiva tion to the acre: sugar beets $75; the famous Rocky Ford melons $100 or better; cucumber seed $80, onions up to $300; alfalfa 4 tons; wheat 40 bushels; oats 50 to 100 bushels, be sides it is a great country for babies and other fine stock, why one of my neighbors told me he had 420 all sizes and ages (horses I mean.) ; -For further particulars please ad dress the Governor.

Says Work of the Farmers in Behalf of Needed Legislation is Beginning to Be Noticeably Effective and Urges That There Be No Let-Up. President C. S. Barrett of the Fanners' Union advises the mem bers of that organization to be on their guard against having their political view point influenced by personal favors from Congressmen. "Search your souls," admonished Mr. Barrett. He makes these states nients in the following introduction to another b-ci of cougressional letteis he is sending to the member. "To the Officers and Members of the Farmers' Union: Herewith I submit for your instruction and and inspection, the second install ment of letters received from Rep resentatives and Senators, in reply to the letter from myself asking their stand on six issues of vital importance to the Farmers' Union. You will see that the tone of tl ese letters is hardly less favorable and enthusiastic than the tone of the letters first published. "It is, I believe, a tribute to the strength, of our organization that Congressmen, without regard to location or party, should hasten jto express either endorsement of our contentions or sympathy with our policies. . "But I am not forgetting to give great credit t6 the members of the Farmers' Union themselves. They have, wakened, mar velously jin the last few months. They havie writ-. te'n;.'inquijl'letterB to their Con gressmen,' and judging .from the promptness and cordiality of the Congressmen's letters, they must have also been approaching them personally at home. .,, "At the last analysis, , therefore, theTit teu t ion today paid the farm er by ' Congress is largely due to the activity of individual mem bers of the Farmers' Union. For Representatives and Senators would Qot have regarded my inquiring letters with such prompt courtesy had they not known the strength and alertness of their farmer con stituents. V "In this connection I am asking that you sit up with that nighbor of yours who may suddenly be tol erant "of an iudifferent Congress map, because the latter may, as suddenly, have done him some little favor. "Caution that neighbor not to letthe personal element interfer with his clear jungment. His Con gressman may have sent him a few free seeds, or secured a little jack leg job for his forty-second cousin. But that should not stand between his Congressman and the tribunal of the ballot box, if the Congress roan has not made plain his posi tion on farmers' issues by his ac tion and vote in Congress. . , The test of friendship to the farmer is not some little trival ap pointment or patronage secured by the Congressman, but legislation reforms secured for the farmer-at large., : "Urge your neighbor to bear FOR THE BEST VALUES IN Men's and Boy's Clothing and Furnishings Mock-Bagby-Stockton Same Price to AIL ft WINSTON-SALEM, THE BIG BOCNE CELEBRATION To Be April 30ih, in Boone Township Davidson County All Invited.

"I urge you again to study this fresh batch of letters. They will show yon the inner workiugs of a Congressman's mind, if you study close enough, and they will show you the strength of the organized farmer, once he determines to ex ert that tstrerigth uniformly ard without intermission. C. S. BARRETT, Union City, Ga., April 2, 1910. "P. S. My dear brother farmer, the aceepted idea is that charity begins at home. Therefore, if you have perfect confidence in yoar neighbor, if you believe he has not 4eed .'sewed' up' too tight by .your . Congressman, what about sending him a little probe down into your own conscience. Maybe you've been a little too easy on Senator So-and So or Representative This- and-That, because you like the seed and speeches or the document) he sends you. or because he has promised to get your boy a job a . page in the House, or your nephew a job to lick stamps in a depart ment at Washington. Yon can'c criticise your neighbor if you're uilty yourself. Maybe you ate as blameless as the driven snow iu thus direction. But to keep thu record straight, search your own soal i little. The man who reali zes hiv own weak points and cor rects tltem can, with good grace, speak of those of his neighbors." . The Souitfd Sleep of Good Health.
