Th-r appearance of little dogs a l'j(fts of luxury goes buck to the most ancient tinies says the Lon don Globe. Documents are not wanting to show that Greek and Eonian women had pet dogs which thev idolized. Even men, particu larly among foreigners, were not ashamed to walk the streets of Rome with pet dogs nnder their arms. Tertia, the daughter of Luci us Aurelius l'aulus, was so fond of her dog that in the moment 9 bid ding farewell to her father, who was about to leave hiscountry and , his family to wage war against Per seus, king of Macedonia, she frank ly admitted that the sadness im printed on her face was due to the death of her pet dog Persa. Cheerfulness. . ' The true secret of good health , and immunity from disease lies in I finding out and practicing the gold- en mean of every rreed. Cheerful- ' ness is one of the best ends to length of days. It is possible to cultivate this quality, and in the interests of those about us, no less than in our own, it ought to be cultivated. PAYROLL OF Will nr m WANTS f0,"DEADHEADS".C!i LIST OF EMPLOYES. A CALL UPO THS UW MAKCSt TO PRI.VENT USELESS TAX UPON ACRICULTURI. j Pe er HHr7p4 trtur:r Niitl.nml Fiirmi rj' I'n'nn The farnlr It the paymaster or industry nd as nurh lie must mpt the nation's payroll. When industry pays its kill it must make a s.ghi draft upon agriculture fur the amount tthich the farmer U compelled to honor without protect This check drawn upou agriculture may trcval iu and fro over the highways of com merce; nay build cUics: girdle the fclohe with bands of Heel; may search hidden treasures In the earth or traverse the skies, but In the end It will rest upon the soil. No dollar will remain suspended In midair, li if as certain to seek the earth's surfHCe as an apple that fi.l's from a tree When a farmer buys a plow be pays the man who mined the metal the woodman who felled the tree, the manufacturer who assembled the raw material and shaped it Into an ar ilcle of usefulness, the railroad 1 h..t transported It and the dealer who sold bim the goods. He pays the wages of labor and capital employe 1 in the transaction as well as p;iy:; for the tools, machinery, buildings, etc.. used In the construction of the commodity and the same applies to all articles of use and diet of hi.n self and those engaged In the sub s-l Jiary lines of Industry. There is no payroll In civilization that does not rest upon the back of the farmer. He must pay the b; . Is all of them. The total value of the nations annual agricultural products is a'ou:: I $12,000,000,000. and It Is safe to esti mate that 95 cents on every dollar - 'h s to meeting the expenses of siij sldlary Industries. The farmer dix s not work more than thirty minute per day for himself; the remaining thirteen hours of the day's toil ho devotes to meeting the payroll of th.-' hired hands of agriculture, such as the manulacturer, railroad, commer cial and other servants. The Farmer's Payroll and How He Meets It The annual payroll of agriculture approximates $12,000,000,000 A por tion of the amount Is shifted to for eign countries In exports, but thti total payroll of Industries working for the farmer divides substantially as follows: Railroads, $1,252,000,000. manufacturers. $4,365,000,000; mining. $055,000,000; banks, $200,000.0! J . mercantile $3,500,000,000, and a heavy miscellaneous payroll constitutes th remainder It takes the corn crop, the mos; valuable in. agriculture, which sold last year for $1,692,000,000, to pay 0 f the employes of the railroads; the money derived from our annual sales of livestock of approximately $2,0U. 000,000, the yearly cotton crop, valued at $920OO0.O0O; the wheatf crop, which Is worth $610,000,000, a'nd the oat crop, that Is worth $440,000,000 are required to meet the annual pay roll of the ntinufacturers. The money derived from the remaining staple crops Is used In meeting the payroll of the bankers, merchants elB. After these obligations are paid, the farmer has only a few bunches or vegetables, some fruit and poultry which be can sell and call the pro ceeds bis own. Wheti the farmer pays off his help he has very little left and to meet these tremendous payrolls he has been forced to mortgage homes, woik omen In the field and increase thi hours of his labor. We are. there fore, compelled to call upon all in dustrles dependent upon the farmers for subsistence to retrench in their expenditures and to cut off all un necessary fxpenses. This course is absolutely necessary In order to avoid a reduction In wages, and we want. If possible, to retain the present wage scale paid railroad and all other Io dustrial employes We will devote this article to discussion of unnecessary expenses and whether required by law or per mitted by the managements of the concerns, Is wholly immaterial. We want all waste labor and extrava gance, of whatever character, cut out We will mention the full crew bill aa Illustrating the character of unneces sary expenses to vbieo we refer Union Opposes "Full Crew" Bill. The Texas Farmers' I'nion regis tered Its opposition to his character of legislation at the last annual meet ing held In Fort Worth, Tex., August i, 1914. by resolution, which we quote, as follows: "The matter of prime Importance to the farmers of this state Is an ade quate and efficient marketing system; and we recognize that such a system la Impossible wlttout adequate rail road facilities, embracing the greatest amount of service at the least pos sible cosL We further recognize that the farmers and producers In the end pay approximately 95 per ceut of the expenses of operating the railroads, and It Is therefore to the Interest of the producers that the expenses of the common carriers be as small as Is possible, consistent with good ser vice and safety. We, therefore, call upon our lawmakers, courts and iuriea to bear the foregoing facts In mind when dealing with the common carriers of this state, and we do espe; cially reaffirm tbe declarations of the last annual convention of our State Union, opposing the passage of the so-called 'fullcrew' bill before the thirty-third legislature of Texas." The farmers of Missouri In the last election, by an overwhelming ma jority, swept this law off the statute book of that state, and it should come off of all statute books where it appears and nt legislature of this nation should ptss such a law or similar legislation which requires un necessary expenditures. The same rule applies to all regu latory measures which Increase the expenses of industry without giving corresponding benefits to the public. There is ofttlmes a body of men as sembled at legislatures and they have a right to be there who, In their zeal for rendering their fellow associates a service, sometimes favor an Increase In the expenses of in dustry without d le regard for the men who bow their backs to the summer's sun to meet the payroll, but these committees, while making a record for theirtselves, rub the Bkin off the shoulders of the farmer by urging the legislature to lay another burden upon bis heavy load and under the lash of "be It enacted" goad him on to pull and surge at the traces of civil ization, no matter how he may sweat, foam and gall at the task. When legislatures "cut a melon" for labor they hand the farmer a lemon. The farmers of the United States are not financially able to carry "dead heads" on their payrolls. Our own hired hands are not paid unless we have something for them to do and we are not willing to carry the hired help of dependent Industries unless there Is work for them. , We must therefore Insist upon the most rigid economy Legislative House-Cleaning Needed. While the war is on and there Is lull In business, we want all legisla tive bodies to take an inventory of the statute books and wipe off all extravagant and useless laws. A good house-cleaning Is needed and econo mies can be instituted here and there that will patch the clothes of Indigent children, rest tired mothers and lift mortgages from despondent homes Unnecessary workmen taken off and useless expenses chopped down all along the line will add to the pros perity of the farmer and encourage him In his mighty effort to feed and clothe the woild. If any of these Industries have sur plus employes we can use them on the farm. We have no regular schedub of wages, but we pay good farm hands on an average of $1.50 per day of th rteen hours when they board themselves; work usually runt about nine months of the year and the three months dead time, they can do the chores for their board. If they prefer ty (arm on their own account, there are more than 14,000,000,000 acres of Idle land on the earth's Bur face awaiting the magic touch of the plow The compensation is easily ob tainable from Federal Agricultural Department statistics. Tho total average annual sales of a farm in the continental United States amounts to $516.00; the cost of operation Is $340.00; leaving the farmer $176 pet annum to live on and educate his family. There Is no occasion tor the legis latures malilng a position for surplus employes of Industry. Let them come "back to the soil" and share with us the prosperity of the farm. When honesty ft merely a food policy It Is a poor virtue. Lazy farmess are Just at useless ai dead ones and take up more room. 2 Wbeo the soul communes with the spirit of nature the back to the farm movement prevails. There are two kinds ot farmers.
