Other issues to  »

The first gun of the 1912 Presidential campaign in Saline and vicinity

"will hold their initial meeting at the
Saline Opera House. Mr. Peter A.
Miller, President of the University
Progressive Republican League, "will

to present the farmer's and working-
man's side of the Canadian Reciprocity Treaty instead of the Wall Street
version of it. Mr-.. Miller^has been
with Senator LaFoIlette on his recent
tour through the state and has'a message to deliver that the people have
long been waiting to hear. The Hon.
L, Whitney Watkins, State Penator

out and hear what is said. Admission will be free.
MANY  FAIRS   HELD   IN   FALL
Should   Be Given for Purposes of Advancing Scientific Farming and
Advance  Farm   Interest.

Many agricultural fairs will he held
in the south this'/all. Many of the
fairs held will be nothing more than
a street carnival -where the cry of the
side-show man is mingled -with the
cheers bf the race track people. Such
amusements offer some recreation to
a weary farm and city life, hut such
fairs fail to fill the true purpose of
the fair, namely, the, advancement of
scientific farming. Such fairs fail
to awaken interest in farm and .in
farm life.
Every, county ought fo have a first
class agricultural fair every fall. It
ought to be held in the country or in
one of the small towns and be run on
the order of a grand picnic for at
least one week. The farmers of the
county should gather on the fair
grounds with the hest stock on their
farms, the best corn, cotton, pumpkins, and so on. The best agricultural speakers in the state should address the farmers on different subjects every day." Great good would
result from such fairs.
The counties and states should be
authorized by the legislature to offer
prizes for agricultural products. Every
state and county can spend money to
good advantage by encouraging fairs.
Every farmer ought to attend at
least one fair this fall and show his
neighbors what kind of stock, cotton,
corn and so tin he raises on his farm.
Thomas Jefferson a Farmer.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the follow^
ing in the eighteenth century;
•"The cultivators  of the earth are
qur piost valuable citizens, the most
Vigorous,  the most independent, the
*oiQSt virtuous;  they are tied to this
| country  and wedded  to it**- liberties
and interests by the .most lasting   of
bonds."
. Some 40 years later he again, wrote:
"When I entered upon the stage of
public life I Came to. the resolution
never  to  wear  any  other  character
than that of a farmer."

Market Term "Green Duck."
The market term green duck, ia of
late innovation. The cognomen is applied for the reason that the bird hag
not yet matured." It should weigh
not less than four pounds and be not
over ten weeks old; eight weeks
would he hetter, and should never be
allowed bathing water. As . an article of diet, if provided by a chef,
the green duck resembles the famous"
and fast disappearing canvas hack
duck.

contracting these diseases. This remedy is famous for its cures of colds.

John Howard Hale, the largest
peach grower in the world and the
first man to make Georgia famous for
this fruit, -worked as a day laborer
in Connecticut when a boy. He managed to save a few hundred dollars
which he invested in peach trees,
planting them on the mortgaged home
farm. The first crop paid off the
mortgage and opened Hale's eyes to
the possibilities of his native state as
a fruit producer. He increased his
holding and others quickly took the
hint. Later he went to Georgia and
planted an immense acreage. He is
a native of Glastonbury, Conn,, aged
fifty-seven years, and has written
much on horticultural subjects.

- Coming Business Man.
There is a 'candy boy on a railroad
train running out of New York to
a near by seasho.re resort whose Ingenuity .probably will place him at the
head of the "best sellers." He came
into the smoker -a few days ago

buyers. Then the wise youngster, playing on the New Yorkers' dormant gambling propensity, asked five men
to contribute ten cents each for
chances on a box of candy. He quick-,
ly got five "takers" on a.30-cent box.*
He made out five small slips from a
pad that he carried, and the men drew.
Within ten minutes the "candy butcher" had disposed of-three boxes.

Mechanical Education for Girls.
"No girl can consider herself educated today if she cannot drive a nail
or put a hinge on a door." Miss Mary
Snow, superintendent of household
arts for the public schools of Chicago,1
made this assertion in a talk on
"Training for Girls." "I consider this
mechanical knowledge a necessity,"
said Miss Snow;. ""Many women when
confronted with the stupendous problem of coaxing a nail into a board
would rather telephone the chief of
police or the board of education for
help. Generally they enlist the janitor or the hired man. It is a deficiency in their education,.
