Half a century ago practically every adult male In the United States had been a poor boy on a farm. In that period and con siderably later, for an eminent poli tician to have been, like, Lincoln, i poor boy on a farm' gave him a ready means to the sympathy! of nearly all voters But owing to the growth of Urban populations most voters today began life as poor boys in 'a city, They know the country only through occasional vacations.. In their minds farm life is associated with pleasant images. ; Far from sympathizing with a candidate because he was born on a farm, they would more likely lay It up against him as an invidious advantage that he had enjoyed. The last candidate, so far as we remem ber, who paraded his rustic origin was Mr. Fairbanks, and everybody knows what happened to him.' Log cabins and rail fences are pfayed out as political assets. , The grimy pave ment, precarious livelihood and swift kicks of Newsboys' Alley have sup planted them for the time being; but juvenue couna, sanuary , ouicera, children's playground associations and a more businesslike organization of newspaper vending are encroach' ing upon the effective horrors of the alley. We are at a ' loss to know where the poor boy in politics of the future would best come from, but that detail will adjust itself automa tically, for in the future as in the past most of the men in politics and out will have been born poor.

' Den't Overdo. This is the time of year when the housewife insists on doing a 'week's work in one day, :, without counting the cost to herself, because there is so much to do. A woman hi. worth more than the work, and she will find that she is held at just the valuation she puts upon herself, ; Let the work spread out for ' several days rather than break down under the burden. Let the children help, but do not overtax their young strength.- Get all the help from the gode mon that, he will allow, and see, that he allows a good deal; if he cannot do enough, let him set the hired man to work, or see that you have a woman who is willing to do her share. A woman cannot afford to wreck her nervous system by overdoing, or doing use less things. The Commoner. v ; Has n:::ions cf Friends.

' - Where Are Tear Fam TaoiiT u ' , . , , , It has been the reprorch of western farmers for many years that the binder, the mower, the wagon, that were built to last ten or twelve years are left lying out in the fields with out shelter, in the summer rains and sun and the winter's sndw,' with the result that they rust out in two' or three years. There is not nearly so much room for complaint in recent years as jn the past. Farmers-are taking better care of their tools, and will get better service from them. , The question we put to you just now is? , Where are your tools? Are they under shelter or are they out of doors? i Have you a tool shed, and are your tools in it, with the metal parts protected from rust by being oiled? ; The answer will be made by. some that they .have , not been able to put up a tool shed, Well, you must either go to the ex pense of providing some kind of shelter, or you must stand the wear and tear? There is no alternative. Now which is cheaper' to provide a shelter or to buy new tools when the others should be only half worn out? It is one of those cases where a man must do either one thing or the other. Now, which is the cheapest? We are very jealous of the reputa tion of the farmer and it always hurts us to have implement men tell us that the farmer does not get half the wear out of his tools that he should, because he leaves them just where he unhitched when last using them. Wallace's Farmer. Growth of Ceaaeat Iadattry. Th Drnwth of th Portland Ce ment industry has not ended, and its present relative importance is rarely understood. Its increase in size and in commercial influence bring with them certain consequences which might well be borne in mind at the present moment. , We can no longer feel that the cement industry is small and Unimportant, and that its con; dition is purely a matter of private Or local interest On the contrary, if must be realized that the . sound ness of the cement industry has now become a matter of interest not Only to cement manufacturers, but to commercial and financial interests generally,? In capital employed it probably ranks third only to iron and coal among the American mineral in dustries. ; It certainly far outranks; in this respect, all' the, gold mining' industry of the United States and Alaska.' Even the copper industry falls into lower place for Finlay has recently estimated that the value of all the copper mining and smelting plants of the United States Is only $110,000,000. From ' ; - the banking point of view V therefore,'' we are dealing with one of the three great extractive Industrie qf the world.

', Man's Raipaatibillty. The ethical comes first. Man is not to be measured by his muscular strength or by his mental alertness alone. The seat of his power the center of his influence is the heart His ideals control him and his asso ciates know him by those ideals.' The first thing be has to do ' is to bring himself into harmony with the divine will, and the second to reflect as per fectly as possible the light whicii he receives from above, t Man cannot serve his God without recognizing his responsibility to God , for every thought, word and act, and he can not serve his fellowmen without a full realization of the importance of making his - example helpful to all who come into contact with him, and this he can not do unless he is willing to make 'such sacrifice as maybe necessary to strengthen his weaker brother. , The use of liquor as a beverage can be condemned on the ground that it is a needless expense at best and on the further ground that it is a dangerous habit to acquire under any circumstances, but the Christian finds a- third reason for total ab stinence; namely, that he loves his brother more than he loves drink and finds more pleasure in setting him an example that would be help ful than he could possibly find in the gratification of his taste for alcohol. The Commoner. , ' How Te Cultivate Peanuts. There are two methods of cultiva tion prevalent among peanut grow ers, known as the "flat" and "ridge" culture: : The flat or level culture is better for high, sandy loam soils, and the ridge for low or heavy lands. With the level culture the crdp can be cultivated almost "entirely with weeders and cultivators, to the ex clusion of his labors -the most ex pensive item on the farm. 5 The weeder should be started before the peanuts are up, as soon as a crust is formed, and kept going till the plants begin to branch and the blooms to appear.' . With this method it is the most easily cultivated of ; the cleah ciiltured crops. On stiff, heavy land the ridge method has to be resorted to and weeders and cultivators do not work so well. 'If weeds and grass are kept down during the early growth of the plant they do not do much Jiarm later. Kapia ana snai low; cultivation during the vearly growth of the plants is what is need ed. J In fact, after the "pegs' begin to form and enter; the soil,,' cultiva tion does a great deal more harm to the crop than would the weeds and grass, because if the spikes or "pegs" are'injured the yield i3 greatly re- duced.f-Bulletin, North ; Carolina State Department of Agriculture., Proof Positive. - He declared that advertising didn't pay; because everybody knew him.

' President Taft and the Democratic leaders are planning the programme of the extra session of the Sixty second congress. The President and the Democratic leaders are not work' ing together exactly.' Tbey could not be expected to do no. On the contrary . they are working apart. and so far apart that it is very prob- able that they. will stay so for a long time to come. .The President can summon Congress into extra session, express his opinion of the needs ' of the country, but cannot prorogue Congress. , , , The President s programme calls for consideration of the Reciprocity treaty with Canada. It is for this purpose that he haa called Congress into extra session and he seems to be quite confident that the treaty will be approved. The next number on the programme is the permanent tariff board, and the final number revision of the , woolen schedule of the tariff. But he is not quite so confident regarding his tariff board as he is about reciprocity, because the Democratic leaders believe that the provisions of the constitution should be strictly adhered to as re gards tne organization of revenue measures. The , President . regards the tariff as a matter of party policy the Democrats as a method of secur ing revenue. .; ' . v-'.Vj'.i ,'i ., ' The President may propose, but Congress will dispose. While it may approve the Reciprocity treaty, it may regard revision of the tariff as a whole, of greater importance to the country than revision of the woolen schedule. It likely will, and if . it should proceed to revise the tariff, will give the President's tariff board very little attention. The Democrats are aware that the people have ' not called for partial revision but for complete revision, and, as . they - are manufacturing Campaign capital for 1912, they will probably endeavor to give the people just what they want.

Last fall Mr. Jacob Robinson, who owned a fine farm near Florence, in this county; and who says he was do ing well, sold his farm, stock, house hold goods, etc., and emigrated to the state of Washington, to get rich quick in those widely advertised and boosted farming lands in that sec tion. He located at .Bellingham on the west side of the state, ; bought some Upland, with timber on it, be cause it was cheaper than the valley land, and proceeded to make a home. It cost him $150.00 an acre to clear the land. ' Shortly after his arrival he saw that he was in for it and be gan his preparations to leave. The residents there told him he was go ing too, soon; to stay and unload on some easterner, who would, in time, come and buy. Mr. Robinson knew of a number who had been waiting for a long time to catch a sucker and were impoverished by the wait con cluded he would get out while he had some money left. ' y , - So last week they arrived here and Mr. Robinson is looking for a farm. He saysthat he knew when he had enough. , He says that it is a first rate country to go for ones health, but to go there and live as a farmer it would be sheer folly. Fruit grows in abundance but it is specked with the seaj and unfit f or market. ; He further says it does not pay to grow timothy hay that brings $12 a ton on $300 an acre land The price of eggs there is high, but the hens don't lay. Mr. Robinson's experience cost, he says, about $3,000, and he is back in old Rutherford to make back what he lost to the land sharks of the glorious State of Washington This experience is a true one and should give an impetus to the "Back Home" movement novr working in the South- Those who -left their homes in the Southern states should come back to see how the country has improved and how easy it is to make a living on- the farms that were once red clay, worn out washed hills.
