The man who is content to follow the beaten path laid down a generation or two ago. who sees no chance to improve methods or productions, who looks upon farming as simply routine planting cultivating ana harvesting such a man will no succeed at anyting.' It is the man of new ideas who builds up communities, enriches himself and neighbors, and ac complishes a world of good by attracting people " back to the soil" it is the specialist who reaps the biggest success, no matter what his calling. On the farm the specialist, particularly the one who carves out a new course. usually is the man who sets the community going in the right direction. Perhaps he sows the seed so well, gets the new ideas in motion so quickly and so un iversally that only a few of his neighbors know how the move ment was started or who started it. But in the end credit is us ually bestowed where it belongs. In Central Oregon and partic ularly in Northren Crook County, the farmers who are specializing more on the Dry Farming meth ols, are meeting with excellent success along this line. Much holp has been and is being receiv ed through the effects of the Oregon Agricultural College , the exerimental farms recently established in this and other sec tions of the state. They have helped the farmer specialize, by exerimenting for him with the different kinds of these exerimehts are being im parted to the farmers through Farmers institutes, which are to be held in different sectons of the Dry Farming Districts of Central Oregon this fall. These lectures and the Demon stration Farms should be visited on every available opportunity, the new idea imparted may be very valuable asset to you during the coming year. Men specially educated for this line of work are working on the problems which are brought up, to help the farm er, if he desires to take advan tage of it, which it is strict business policy for him to do, which will mean better farming, better class of homes, and the present standard of this section maintained, through the several Dry Farming exhibits, sent from this section that has brought back many of the first prizes against the world. Beginning yesterday, 'and for the rest of the week, the atten tion oi tne entire country is directed to the heroic and skill ful play of two baseball teams in the annual struggle for abso lute supremacy, in the greatest game ever playea. We are right in the midst of a Presidential campaign From the mountain village to the busy mart of trade there is unceasing flow of po litical talk. Upon everybody's tongue there is the question, "who will be the next Presi dent? ' This main issue and the thousand and one other incident al issues possess the American mind to the exclusion of all else, saye and except that one annual battle of post-season ball games which is fought out this year between Boston and New York. For the time being that event throws poitigs in the shade. This national facuty of enthus iasm for clean and honest sport in an American attribute oi no mean value. It indicates the premium we put upon physical m.inliness, and the regard we have for that sort of competi tion wherein merit alone can win. Vote the Republican Ticket As November 6thf approaches the political pet is beginning to boil, and manure beginning to wonder who will be the success fa aspirants for office. Bu every marfwhothas ""theTwelfare of his country at heart intends to vote-the republican ticke when he;and.hjslfr.iendsmeet"a the noll3 next month. Those who have watched the situation know that for the past sixteen years the republican party has given the country unexampled prosperity.iVere the democratic party in power, they would des troy manufactures, injure the farmers and drive working men out of employment by inacting free trade legislation. Surely we do not want to experience repetition of the disastrous times which happened when the demo cratic party was last in power, For instance, enforced idleness of millions of workmen-, banks forced to suspend, starvation throughout the land that was once so rich in Tearthly posses sions. i Vote the democratic ticket and historyiwill repea itself. In less than one year hard times would return, and the sunshine of prosperity'would be dimmed. These are facts thtt are so simple that any one can understand them. They are so true that no one can doubt them. Thev are so convincing that every one with intelligence and Datriotism should and will vote the republican ticket. Under the republican adminis tration the demand for labor ers, skillecPand unskilled, has increased year by year, and the demand is far in excess of the supp y. Wages have increased amaziwrly in the last ten or twelve years,. No one will deny that American wages are the highesi, and that American labor is the most productive. All over the entire west, during the present year, the call for labor has been heard but not heeded because every body is busy. under the democratic reign we had bread lines a mile long, soup houses'every where, banks mostly busted, three million men idle, ten million children hungry, homes plastered with mortgages, and nobody making any money. The paramomet issue in this campaign isproperity. We have it. Why risk it? Vacations for Farmers. Farmers should so arrange their work as to take an outing each m 1 1 1 1 j j . 1 1 year, ney win oe penemtea py getting out once a year from the routine of the work on the farm, which will not suffer if it be pro nerlv planned. Relative to this subject an eastern paper says: "Most farmers are believers in the eight -hour system eight hours before noon and eight hours after! It may be a good system when one is his own boss, Jbut its rather hard on all concerned Therefore, every farmer should have a sort of pitchfork arrange ment which will throw everyone, himsely and his wife included, off theiarm at some convenient time to take a compulsory vaca tion. Never fear that the work will suffer. It will not if it is properly planned. Never fear that anyone who thus has no out ing suffers; on the contrary, everyone, and the work, too, will be benefitted." Since there is no time of the year when the farmer can more easily leave his home duties than early in December,' the authori- ies at the Oregon Agricultural College have this year changed he date of the annual one-week armers' course to Dec. 9-14, in stead of immediately proceeding or iouowing tne winter snort course, which this year comes an. 9-Feb. 7. The agricultural nstruction at the college, in so ar as is possible will be boiled down to a single week of the most practical and helpful lect- ures ana demonstrations, some 30 or 40 a day, covering the breeding and raising and care of all sorts of farm animals, the growing and harvesting of SURELY THERE IS NO HARM IN LOOKINfi 1 11 BRAN DvJC.EyE K1NCAJU ft CO. : AND PROBABLY A LOOK WILL DO YOU COnn DON'T STAY AWAY FROM DoisToiT because you feel that you are not wanted here unless you intend to purchase, Tho customers whom we consider our very best first came to our store to "look."
