The fair to a city man la an entertainment; to a farmer It Is education. Ut us take a atroll through the fair gronnds and linger a moment at a few of the points of greatest Interest. We will first visit the mechanlcsl department and hold communion with the world's greatest thinkers. You are now attending a congress of the mental giants In mechanical acl ence of all ages. They are addressing you In tongues of Iron and steel and In language mute and powerful tell an eloquent story of the world's progress. The Inventive geniuses are the most valuable farm hands we have ami they perform an enduring service to mankind. We can all help others for a brief period while we live, hut It takes a master mind to tower Into the realm of science and light a torch ol progress that will Illuminate the path way of civilisation for future genera tions. The men who gave us thn sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and hundreds of other valuable Inventions work In every field on earth and will continue their labors as long ns time Their bright Intellects have conquered death and they will live and serve mankind on and on forever, without money and without price. They have shown us how grand nnd noble H Is to work for otlurs; they have also (might us leasons In economy and clH rlenry, how to make one hour do the work of two or more; have length ened our lives, multiplied our opportunities and taken toll off the back of humanity. They are the most practical men the world ever produced. Their In ventions have stood the acid test of utility and efficiency. Like all usciul men, they do not seek publicity, yet million of machines sing their praises from every harvest Held on earth and as many plows turn the soil In mute applause of their marvelous achieve in en te. FARMER RADFORD ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE The home is the greatest contribu tion of women to the world, and the hearthstone Is her throne. Our so cial Hirudin e Is built anmriil her, and social righteousness Is In her charge. Her beautiful life lighta the aklea of hope and her raltnement Is the chsrm of twentieth century civilization Her gracee and her power are the cumu lative products of generations of queenly conquest, and her crown of exalted womanhood la Jeweled with (be wladom of "iilntly mothers. Sim has been a great factor in the glory of our country, and her noble achieve ments should not be marred or her hallowed influence blighted by the coarser duties of cltlienshlp. Ameri can chivalry should uevur permit her lo bear the burdens of defending and maintaining government, but should 1'it'hcrve her unsullied from the allied Influences of politics, and protect her irotn the weighty reaponalbllltlea of (he sordid affairs of life that will crush her Ideals and lower her stand ards. The motherhood of the farm la our lusplratlou. she Is the guardian of our domestic welfare and a guide (o e higher life, but directing the af fairs of government is not within wo man's sphere, and political gossip would cause her to neglect the home, forget to mend our clothes aud burn the biseults. RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS We need social centers where our young people can be entertained. miniM'd aud Instructed under the ill reillou of cultured, clean and com petent leadership, where aesthetic surroundings stir the love for the beautiful, where art charges the at mosphere with Inspiration and power. and Innocent amusements iustruct aud brighten their lives. To hold our young people on the farm we must make farm life more attractive as well as the business of farming more remunerative. The school bouse should be the soclsl uult, properly equipped for nourishing and building character, so that the lives of our people can properly function around It and become supplied with the necessar) elements of human thought and activity. (education Is a developing of the mind, not a stuffing of the memory. Digest what you read. Old men have visions, young men have dreams. Successful farmers plow deep while sluggards sleep. The growing of legumes will retard soil depletion and greatly add lo tta power to uioduce T 18 GRANDFATHER (Special to The Argue.) Washington.

GERMANS CLAIM ALLIES LOSS BIG (Special to The Argus ) LondnN. Cfflclal German and French reports agree In saying that late activities of the armies on the western front have been confined chiefly to artillery engagements. The Oerman account tells of the blowing up of a foundry at Blangy, east of Ar ras, and the French version admits losing this position, but asserts that it was promptly regained and la still held. A feature of the Oerman report Is the estimate It makes of the losses of the allies since the general advance was reputed to have been decided on Iu December. Theae are given by Ber lin as 20.000 killed and 17.860 prison ers, and it Is added that the grand to tal, including wounded, sick and miss ing, mtiHt have been 150,000 men. "Our total louses for the same pe riod," says the Merlin account, "do not amount to one quarter of that number." MARKETING WORLD'S GREATEST PROBLEM WE ARE LONG ON PRODUCTION. SHORT ON DISTRIBUTION. By Petar Radford LrttMr National Fartnrrs' Union. The economic distribution of fnrm products Is today the world's greateal problem and the war, while It has brought Its hardships, has clearly em pbaslied the Importance of dlstrlhu Hon aa a factor In American agricul ture and promises to give the farm ere the co-operation of the govern ment and the business men the solution of their marketing problem. This result will, In a measure, com p. iiH.it,. t;( for o r war loases. for the business Interests and government have been In the main assisting sl most exclusively on the production side of agriculture While the depart ment of agriculture baa been dumping tons of literature on the farmer telling him how to produce, the farmer has been dumping tous of products In the m Hon 'a garbage can for want of a market The World Will Nsvsr Starve. At no time alnce Adam and Eve were driven from the Oarden of Eden have tho Inhabitants of Ihla world suffered from lack of production, but fiome people have gone bun r Hon the day of creation to this good houi for the l.'ck of proper distribution Hllght variations In production have forced a change In diet and one local ity haa felt the pinch of want, while another surfeited, but the world aa a wh'de has ever been a land of plenty We now have less than one-tenth of the tillable land of the earth's surface under cultivation, and we not cmiy have Hits aiirrdua a." to rtiw on but Saturday, January 23rd Will Be the Last Day of the big Clearance Sale at the Golden Rule.

GOLDEN RULE STORE ONTARIO, - - OREGON NEW TURKISH CORPS HAS BEEN DESTROYED (Special to The Argus.) London. A Petrograd dispatch to the Central News says: "An official communication says the Kleventh Turkish army corps has been exterminated near Kara-lTrgan." This la the third Turkish corps de stroyed by the Russians. The following official statement re garding the operations In Poland, Oal Icla and Hukawlna, was Issued from general headquarters: "On the right bank of the lower Vis tula we are still making successful progress. "In the other sections we repulsed the enemy and forced them to fall back on their positions. "In Dukowlna our advanced columns captured by storm the Kirllbaha Pans, on the Transylvania frontier, situated on the road from Klmpolting (In the southern part of Dukowlna) to Mara naros Rxlget (northeastern Hungary) id Dees." it is safe to estimate that In else oT dire necessity one-half the earth's population could at the present time knock their living out of the trees of the forest, gather It from wild vines and draw It from stroams. No one should become alarmed: the world will never starve. The consumer has always feared thnt the producer would not supply him and his fright has found expres sion on the statute books of our statej and nations and the farmer has been urged to produce recklessly and with out reference to a market, and regard less of the demsnds of the consumer Back te the Boll. The city people have been urging each other to move back to the farm, but very few of them have moved. We welcome our city cousins back to the aoll and tbla earth's surface con tains 16.091.160,000 Idle acres of till able land where they can make a living by tickling the earth with a forked stick, but we do not need them so far aa Increasing production Is con cerned: we now have all the producers we caf use. The city man haa very erroneous Ideas of agricultural condi tions. The commonly accepted theory that we are short on production Is all wrong Our annual Increase In pro duction far exceeda that of our la creaae In population. The World aa a Farm. Taking the world aa one big farm. we find two billion acrea of land In cultivation Of thla amonnt there Is approximately 760,000,000 acres on the I western and 1,260.000.000 acres on the . eastern hemisphere. In cultivation. This estimate, of course, does not in clude grating lands, forests, etc.. where large quantities of meat are produced The world's annual crop approxi mates fifteen bllllor. bushels of ce reala. thirteen billion pounds of fibre snd sixty five million tons of meat The kverago annual world crop for the paat five years, compered with (be previous live veara la as follower PROFITS PROMISED ON DOMINICAN JOB (Special t The Argus. ) New York.
