THE COUNTY FAIR Ak » Lt - 1 j . a— By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers’ Union The farmer gets more out of the fair than anyone else. The fair to a City man is an entertainment; to a farmer It is education. Let us take a ¿troll through the fair grounds and linger a moment at a few of the point# of greatest Interest. We «11! ftrat visit the mechanical department and hold communion with the world’s greatest thinkers. You are now attending a congress of the mental giants in mechanical sci- 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 and they perform an enduring service to mankind. We can all help others for a brief period while we live, but it takes a master mind to tower into the realm of science and light a torch of progress that will illuminate the path way of civilization for future genera tions. The men who gave us the 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 as 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 and noble it is to work for others; they have also taught us lessons in economy and effi ciency, how to make one hour do the work of two or more; have length ened our lives, multiplied our opportunities and taken toil 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 useful men, they do not seek publicity, yet millions of machines sing their praises from every harvest field on earth and as many plows turn the soil in mute applause of their marvelous achieve- ments. 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 structure Is built around her, and social righteousness is in her charge. Her beautiful life lights th« skies of hope and her refinement is the charm Of twentieth century civilization. Het graces and her power are the cumu lative products of generations of queenly conquest, and her crown of exalted womanhood is jeweled with the wisdom of saint!}- mothers She 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 cocser duties of citizenship. Ameri can chivalry should never permit her to bear the burdens of defending and maintaining government, but should preserve her unsullied from the allied influences of politics, and protect her from the weighty responsibilities of the sordid affairs of life that will crush her ideals and lower her stand ards. The motherhood of the farm 1 b our Inspiration, she is the guardian of our domestic welfare and a guide to a higher life, but directing the af fairs of government is not within wo man's sphere, and political gosslj would cause her to neglect the home, forget to mend our clothes and burn the biscuits. RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS We need social centers where our young people can be entertained, amused and instructed under the di rection 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 Instruct and 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 house should be the social unit, properly equipped for nourishing and building character, so that the Ilves of our people can properly function around it and become supplied with the necessary 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 to its power to produce. An QT-nder a First Arrest. Tried to Convert the Sultan.

It Is an estatillshed custom tn China that a new compau.v must pay divi dends to Its shareholders from the first rears of Its existence, and this forms invarlnlily a clause of the articles of association Some concerns which fall to realize a profit have to contract a high interest loan in order to pay dlvi- dends in full. It is this practice that compels companies to coutract loan after loan until they are plunged into a helpless state. Furthermore, when a new company Is established it is from the start tied down to a system of commission paying, in every pur chase as well as in every sale of the company a commission goes with it. which is therefore counted Into every payment and receipt, thus occasioning the need of an unnecessarily large nmouut of capital.—Argonaut.
