SOME FARMERS ROB LAND.
Which It the Greater Robber,: the
Farmer Who Robs His 8oil or the
Man Who Robs the Community? A
Glorious American Privilege Tims
to Pause and Consider.'
Copyrighted, 1914. by Thomas J. Sulllvan.J
There are many and various kinds of
robbers loose today in this land of
plenty, but perhaps the two most un
popular of them are tbe soli robber and
tbe community robber tbe farmer
who robs bis land of Its producing
strength and tbe consumer who robs
big community of Its dollars.
Tbe high grade, successful farmer Is
.: the one who increases rather than di
minishes tbe fertility of big land. Ev-'
ery yeur be changes bis crop with that
one object lu view. He subscribes for
uud reads very carefully tbe agricul
tural reports, paying particular atten
tion to the reports on experiments made
by advanced and progressive farmers.
r- Why be does this Is plain. He knows
very well tbat it would be useless to
plant good seed In wornout soli. It's
bis wish and Intention to make a profit
on bis Investment In seed and labor as
well as In soil, and this, of course,
could not be accomplished if tbe soil
were not fruitful. f
Bleeding Horn Communities.
Today there are hundreds of thou
sands of American citizens who are
bleeding tbelr borne communities by
taking out of. the channels of local
trade tbe money needed to transact
business and sending it to dealers who
do not and who cannot by any possi
ble means return It to do Its proper
and necessary work in local business
circles. .." ' ' '
. Tbe big city mall order bouses that
sell goods at retail through the medi
um of catalogues to farmers and oth
ers all over the country buy nothing
from their customers. They invariably
. exchange goods for ' money, never
money .for goods. They employ no
labor in the communities where tbelr
customers must earn their living; they
buy no farm products; they own no,
real estate; they pay no taxes; they
hove no money on deposit in the local
banks; tbey do not advertise In the
local newspapers: they do not give
credit; they do not even pay the freight
on goods tbey sell. Every cent taken
by them out of the community is per
manently lost to tbe business of that
community. . ' -: .
These are all plain and evident
truths, are they not? , .
We would ask this very same farmer,
who would be Insulted were he charg
ed with neglecting to keep bis soil en
riched to the bighest possible degree,
lo explain bow be can deliberately
rob his community by buying bis goods
from out of town concerns. .
Farmer Planted In Community.
The farmer plants seed in the soil,
n nd In order to produce results be must
beep tbat soil fertilized.' Being him
self planted In tbe community, be does
bis trading In a foreign city and there
by assists his community In becoming
poor. ' . '
Why abould this fnrmer have great
er respect for the seed which he plants
tluiu bo bas for himself, his family or
his neighbor?
There Is a community In Minnesota
In tbe center of which Is a city em
bracing about 10.000 people, and It Is
conservatively estimated that some-
thing more than $300,000 annually Is
sent from thero to mail order bouses
for the purchase of goods which could
Just as well he secured nt the home
stores. '
This estimate Is based on the Ugurcg
secured from reliable sources In the.
aforementioned community that lg,
from the banker, the express ageut
and the postmaster. -
This, perhaps, lg the trongeat evi
dence of "robbing" a community.
The answor to the above may bo
that a man has a right to buy where
he pleases. It is bis money he Is spend
ing, and he bag the right to send It
away if be wishes, particularly if he
feels that be is to be the gainer
thereby., '' ,- ,
A Glorious American Privilege.
Quite true. In this glorious America
of oura every citizen is privileged to
consult his own pleasure in spending
big money. lie can spend it or board
it up, or be may contribute it for the
. purpose of building monuments to tbe
memory of great men. No oue can
. lawfully dispute that right.
Likewise the soli robber has the
right to use bis land ns be wishes and
without any consideration for Its fu
ture fertility. The laud . belongs to
bim, and ho can do as be pleases with
It. He Is a free man. surrounded by
hundreds of laws enacted for the pro
V taction of his rights.
t Pause and Consider.
i The parallel drawn between the two
cases hag a tendency to give the com
0 munlty robber a chance to pause and
, . consider. , ' f
He should give the ' matter very
. ( sorlnus attention and thought and en .
uY'uvor to figure put a method by
which he can Increase its wealth. Just
as the honest farmer increases the
richness and productiveness of his solL
In this way only can n large and sub
stantial community be attained.

FAMOUS DIAMONDS.
The Cullinan In the Rough Weighed
One and One-third Pounds. -
Until 1903 . the largest diamond
known was the Excelsior, found lu
1893 at Jageisfonteln by a native
while loading a truck. It weighed
073 carats and was cut ultimately into
ten stones weighing from thirteen to
sixty-eight curat. All previous dis
coveries were surpassed in 1005 by
tbe finding of a stone weighing 3.025
carats, or one. and :i third pounds, in
the Premier mine In the Transvaal..
The Transvaal government bought
this stone and presented It to King
Edward, it having become' known as
the Cullinan diamond, in JHOS It was
sent to Amsterdam and there cut Into
nine large stones and a number of small
ones. Tbe largest one weighed 510JA
carats and is tbe largest brilliant in
existence. All are of the finest quality
and flawless. . ; ,
The Kohlnoor In Its earliest known
slate weighed 18(ij en rats, but was
later cut to 100.
Other famous diamonds, some from
.Brazil, some from India or Borneo,
others from Klmbcrley. are the Star
of the South, weighing 254'j carats:
the Itegent or Tltt diamond, weighing
Kill carats after several cuttings; the
Daryul-nur, weighing 180 carats. In the
possession of the Sluib of Persia; the
Tiffany, weighing 12514 carats: the Vic
toria, weighing 180 Carats and cut
from a stone weighing 457 enrnts.-Exchange.

During tbe daytime tbe timbers get
bent with tbe weight of tbe various in

but the noise and bustle of tbe day
drowns the starting and creaking

Didn't Need the Hoe.
Some time ago a bubo meekly tapped
on the back door of a suburban borne
and nlked for something to eat. The
good housewife responded that she
would feed blin on the back step along
with Kldo provided he was willing to
earn the meal by cleaning out tbe gut
ter. The tramp agreed, and when be bad
onten bis way through' several sand
wiches the housewife came out with
a reliable looking hoe.
"You needn't have gone to tbat trou
ble, madam," said the bobo. "I never
use a hoe in cleaning out a gutter."
"Never use a boe!" said tbe woman.
"What do you use, then, a shovel?"
"No, madam," sweetly replied the
hobo, starting tor tbe back gate, "my
method Is to pray for rain." Boston

Pump Anchors.
A pump Is a uueer sort of anchor,
but It has been found to be the best
kind of an anchor for n sandy bot
tom, The anchor consists of u heavy
piece of metal wltb a hole down
through the center aud a tube from
this hole to tbe ship, so that water can
bo pumped from the ship down through
the tube and out of the bottom ot
the metal mass. When this nnchoi
drops to the sandy bottom and tbe
pump is started it makes quicksand
of the material round It so that It
sinks lu deep. When the pumping
stops the sand hardens and holds tbe
anchor. To raise the unchor It Is nec
essary only to start pumping again
aud loosen tbe sand. Saturday Even

What Is Instinct?
Instinct Is a generic term compris
ing all those faculties of mind which
lead to tbe conscious performance ot
actions that are adoptive In character,
but pursued without necessary knowl
edge of the relation between the menus
employed and the ends attained. It Is
hnrilly necessary to remark that some
times "instinct" comes so close to "rea

distinguish between them. New York

Fores of Those Raised by Earthquakes
or Violent Storms.
The -.term tidal wave is erroneously
applied to almost any unexpected wave
that Inundates tbe seacoast or tbe
shore of a great lake. These waves
are rarely If ever due to the tides
since the real tidal wave Is a phenome
non admitting of exact calculation and
prediction, but tbey may be traced usu
ally to some distant earthquake or vio
lent storm. r -
When mi earthquake occurs beneath
tbe sea the vertical movements of the
sea bed generate a great wave, which
Is propagated outward from the center
of tbe shock and reaches tbe land after
the arrival of the earth wave. In tbe
open sea this ware Is so broad tbat it
cannot he perceived, but when it reach
es shallow tvuter near the shore it
rushes forward as an immense break
er, sometimes sixty feet or more blgb
and overwhelming everything in its
course.
Tbe sandy beach deposits and loose
bowlders are swept away, while inland
the surface Is strewn with debris. Tbe
velocity of these great sea waves is
greater than tbe ordinary waves raised
by the wind. A submarine earthquake
near tbe coast of Japan In 1854 gave
rise to sea waves which traversed the
whole breadth of the Pacific at a rate
of about 370 miles an" hour. At Smoda.
Japan, the waves were thirty feet
high, while at San Diego, Cal., tbey
measured only six inches. Such an
earthquake wave near tbe coast of
Peru once lifted s gunboat of tbe Unit
ed States nary and landed it a mile
inland. Kansas City Star.
STAGE GHOSTS.
Keen's Contrivance to Make the Shade
of Banquo Realistic
I think It was Charles Kean who
first resorted to illusion to make a
stage ghost a little transparent, says
a writer In London Tit-Bits. Wben
be produced "Macbeth" at the old
Princess' theater be manufactured a
contrivance wblch allowed Banquo'i
ghost to appear through a transparent
column.
Later on, when Mrs. Ann Radcllffe'a
"Itomance of the Forest" was staged
at Covent Garden theater, those re
sponsible for its production arranged
that the spook in tbe piece should be
seen by tbe audience through a gauze
of bluish gray color, so that tbe to
corporeal effect of a live actor might
be removed.
When tbe old playhouse in Drury
lane opened, in 1794. with a perform
ance of "Macbeth." Banquo's ghost
was omitted. Although Mr. Kemble'a
acting was fine enough to make the
audience almost believe that they real
ly did see tbe ghost, yet the people
were not satisfied until the' system
they had been used to was readopted
and Banquo's shade allowed to trot
bodily across the boards.
Reflecting mirrors and the cinemato
graph are coming lu general use. at
tbe theaters, and with them it ha!
been found possible to manufacture
ghosts capable of striking terror lntc
the hearts of all followers of the oc
cult ,

Never mind If you do not happen to

two seconds to cntch your train. You
may In cases like these feel compelled
to slum n door or gate In the face of
an Innocent fellow being. But In
scores of Instances recently observed
doors and gates have been slammed in
the faces of those following by boorish
men and women, apparently out ot
sheer clownlsbness. Sometimes the
person thus Insulted may happen to be
one whom you may wish to please. It

Clinching the Argument.
At a club meeting held In a public
bouse in a small village a discussion
took place as to whether a hard or soft
Bubstance would last the longer. The
debate continued for some time, until
one man spoke up and said: 1
"Now, uieu, you are all mistaken, as
I can easily prove. Wben me and my
wife married she had as good a set ot
teeth as any woman could have; now
she basu't got one, and her tongue is
as good as ever." London Tlt-Blts.
