JlIE AUSTRALIAN FARMER. -
THE government of South Australia is seeking to
make county life there as attractive as possible m
ii an effqrt to equalize urDan anu riuui yuyuMwu.
Suffering from conditions similar to those in the
United Stated the state there has seen an over-supply
of workmen in the cities and a decided shortage in the
rural districts. The Australian government has not tar
ried in seeking a correction "of the situation and Wash
ington may earn something from it as to prompt and
effective action in economical and industrial affairs.
' Speaking recently at the opening of a new railroad
built by his government to develop and better farm life,
the South Aastralian premier promised a campaign of
railroads and waterworks (irrigation) to aid the farmer.
Railroads and waterworks, he said, go hand in hand to
ward development of the country. Farmers are the
backbone of "the state; therefore parliament must make
the life of those living in the country more bearable. The
government proposed to make the taxation on the farm
ing community as low as possible in order that farmers
can get such Wnditi&ns that they will be able to cany on
their industry untrammeled by outward disturbances.
In connection with this policy, South Australia is
forging ahedd rapidly as an agricultural nation. Public
utilities are being used extensively to this end. Mean
while, New Slouth Wales has appointed a government en
gineer to act as an advisory officer to visit irrigation
areas and private irrigation farms and to assist the
bwners in arriving at the best method of utilizing the
land and the water. This officer's services are given
free of cost by the government to those who care to con
sult him and Should result in bringing irrigation efforts in
the country tjo a high plane of success.
The Australian and sister governments are going
further thai any other governments in the world to en
rlnrhifillv finrl ttractieallv aid their farmers.
vuuiuv uiiu v vv fwvww-r ------
Our own government can learn something from them
along the line of effective action, in improving rural
proaucuon.
It hurts
me to hear the
condemned, is "shiftless," or "having a pauper spirit,"
just as it would if a crowd mocked at a child for its
weakness, oiJ laughed at a lame man because he could not
run, or a blind man because he stumbled, says Albion
Fellows Bacon, in the Survey. "Lazy!" Some of them
are "born tij-ed," and enter life without their share of
vigor or vitality. Some of their mothers were over
worked and under-nourished, perhaps scrofulous. Some
of them, thems'ilves, are over-worked and under-fed, or
have lost their efficiency through illness or exposure.
And they brpathe poisonous air, sleeping in unventilated
quarters, Bit or twelve in a room. They drink sewage
poisoned water that makes people lethargic and dull.
The Free Toll boosters are busy at the old tricks of
those who Nyant to work the people to gain their own
ends. Letters are being published from British Colum
bia lumbermen showing what a great advantage they
will have over the American millmen if the latter have
to pay tolls 6n their products
As both wofild be charged the same it is hard to see
where the otie would have any advantage over the other.
It is a well known fact, however, that the B. C. mills can
not compete with those on this side of the line for the
latter now ship large, quantities of lumber into British
Columbia.
Wealth In such quantities that its owner has to have
armed guaitls during the day and sleep in an armored
bedroom is burdensome rather than pleasurable. Yet
while wealthy now to this point, and with not a great
many years left him, Rockefeller still grasps for more.
Maybe when he gets on the other side he will reform, and
not want more than his legitimate share.

Unless Villa consents to an armistice, Huerta will
have to kick Uncle Sam's shins again in order to make
him get into Mexico City ahead of Villa and his crowd.
It would be bad for the Mexican president if the Villans
got there first.
It looks now as if a large vote will be polled in the
primaries of Marion county on the 15th. Interest in
the. road bond election rather than in the selection of
the party candidates will be responsible for this result.
' ' The Oregoniarr says the Pacific' Mail Company
showed "the right spirit when the passengers of the Si
beria were in danger. This is true, but the trouble and
worry was caused by it not showing the right signal.
The Mexican mediators are talking- of ordering a
new election in the republic. That's, the Oregon plan
to hold an election so often that the people don't have
time to think about anything else.
If Huerta and the balance of te Mexicans, will medi
tate while the representatives of the other Latin repub
lics mediate some tangible and good results may be attained.

"Many-who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care
is necessary. The eyea of . old and
young should be properly bathed sight
mi J morning. This is more important
than cleansing teeth," say a he and
then he goes on to say:
"The following treatment is worthy
(f fullest eonfidenee. . It is scientific,
inucediately effective '. ana positively
harmless to the weakest of eyes. Go
to any drug store, get a tube of Op
tona tubWts, dissolve one in a two
ounce Initio of pure, water and bathe
the eyes two to four times daily.' What
is generally known as eye strain will
soon be banished while the muscles and
serves are permitted to perform their
normal functions. It helps diseased
eyes and it keeps good eyes healthy;
it is absolutely harmless in every way;
does nut smart of burn, has a wonder
ful effect on granulated lids and is es
pecially recommended for dull, bleary
or glassy eyes. It helps all. eyes and
shot.ld be in every home for use in
emergency." .
The following extracts are from let
ters reoeived from users of this pre
scription: "I Vitcd Optona one week for a cold
in my eyes; it did me a great deal of
good."
."My eyes have bcon failing for
years. I am sure Optona is doing them
g"od and shall continue its use."'
"Have only-been using Optona a
shoit time. My eyes are improving
wonderfully."
"I find Optona very satisfactory and
recommend it wherever I find an op
portunity. I find it very soothing."
"I've been benefited by Optona and
inteud to follow the treatment."
"Have been using Optona for about
tores months and it has greatly im
proved my sight.."
'ily eyes have been sore for several
years; were red and inflamed. Used
evorytUug recommended and gained
no relief. I had my eyes examined and
wore (.'lasses for six months. I read
of 0iton and thought I would give it
a trial. m glad to be able to state
I gf.t satisfactory relief, and havo not
worn my glasses since. I feel my eyes
do not ri quire them."
Many ether have made similar re
ports. If your eyes bother you have
the nbtive prescription filled; it may
do wi.uOers for you. Do not become a
victim, of neglect. You perhaps value
your eves more than, any other organ,
therefore it's your duty to protect
(hem. This free prescription has given
relief to thousands.

If the statement made at a New
York Assembly of Women, that
healthy American women are so rare
that they are almost extinct, is true,
it is timo for the women of America
to take warning nnd look to their
health. It may he headaches, back
aches, dragging down pains, nervous
ness, mental depression, that are tell
tale, symptons of some organic derange
ment for which Lydia r.. Pinkham's
