The man who has made this world what it ia; the man to whom everyone is indebted to for what he has, either directly or indirectly, (except he be a brother farmer.) Why should he be jeered and laughed at and called a “ Hav-seed” because of the overalls? Not only has he earned hit bread by the sweat of his brow, but your bread and mine too, to him we are indebted largely for our public highways, schools, etc. Do we realize that from the farm comes food, which we eat, the clothes we wear? The farmer has made his living and yours, he has provided for hia family beyond equal. Do we wonder the cry is, “ Back to the Farm” when the call is heard from every land for that type of manhood and womanhood, which comes from no other but the farm. I do not mean to aay that ail good and great people come from the farm but I do say the boys and girls from the farms have more natural opportu nities, a broader sense of living; the foundation material for character, in fact they live in reality, closer to na ture, live man to man, friend to friend, hand in hand, as God intended man to live. The one people to which the world ia indebted for her sociability. Boys and girls why should you be ashamed of the farm or farmer? The people to which the nation look in time of war, as well as in times of peace. Why ahoukl you be ashamed of that old grey-headed father, whose step has been made tottery by honest toil, that you and I might live to enjoy a better and nobler life This father sees in you possibilities, better possibilities by giving to you the best that he has. Crossing the briny deep to an unknown land, then plowing his way through the wilderness, from shore to shore, risk ing his life and costing many, tLat we might live in the land of the free. A nation unsurpassed by the world; a nation that need not be ashamed of her ancestor;. Then why not back to the soilT I say; the farmer of yesterday is gone, not to be forgotten, I mean the farmer uneducated. Today is the day of the farmer edu cated. If we would live as we should we must be educated. Not only edu cate ourselves, but we must be pro gressive and prepare for better educa tion in the future. The farm is no more the home of the uneducated, where any one may live successfully. I say live not exist. Some people have said “Oh anybo dy can be a farmer.” Yes! ambody can live on a farm but to be a success ful farmer we must be progressive. The farm has grown to be a paying business.—The one non-dependent busi ness. a business that produces. The farmer a man of business, why not educated? A Linn County Farmer. The btayton Development Legue will meet in the City Hail Monday nigbt, I>ec. 14. All members are urged to be presenL DH) SOME ONE BLUNDER OR NOT? In an interview with H. E. Wirth Tuesday evening, he states that on that day he had a talk with Judge Bushey and that the Judge stated that the word that he sent to the meeting of resident taxpayers which met in Stayton recently, had nothing to do with the special tax, but related to the general tax fund only, viz: that no gen eral fund tax could be used on the streets of Stayton. Mr. Wirth further stated that the Judge said that he would do all he could to help us to get our main streets, which were once county roads, put in a passable condition. No doubt if this had been understood at the meeting, instead of a two-mill tax, there would have been a three and perhaps a four-mill tax voted; as Stayton people were reluctant to vote a tax that would be entirely spent out side the city. It looks as if some one had blundered, if Mr. Wirth's account is substantiated.
