A Lay Sermon to The Farmer Kditor Home and Farm: I have often wondered why many farmers take so little i teres! in their own (arms to mal them convenient homes. Son invest money in farms who nev live on them Of course sueh a not expected to take very mm pains to make the farm strict a home. !?ut even these slum be charitable toward their ten ers. and make the farm .1 h>>. 11 if tin- re 111er :t< much !< .1 rent can l>e m ule to tool it home < another's land. We have hut short time to live in thi- worl tlien how can we all'ord to be liar toward our fellow mortals wl are poor and have to rent lam If you will read Robinson < 'rus< you will learn lmw. when ea on an island, with only a to implements to work with, he a ranged many conveniences by grreat deal of labor. There are many people livit on lanns who have not a cow. 1 even a warden, Perhaps there a thousands of people who lur lived on the farm Irom infam to old aire, and never had a re respectable jrartlen.

It was stated also that France was ready to eo operate with the Foiled States, <I real Britain. and I tierinanv in reaching an agreement for international bimetalism. The British representatives 1 present made no statement indi1 eating their intentions in the mat ter.

From tlieCliicRK^ IMspatch. there are editors of newspa pers who are so heartless or so blind that they make the assertion that the strike of the coal miners has been hroguht about for political ell'eet. Do the editors of t liese newspa pers read the statements made by the miners? If they do read them, do they know what they mean f The only cause for the strike is starvation. Human beings can' no longer endure the hopeless struggle for existence under the conditions imposed by the mine operators. In the great Hocking valley of t hud lhe a* v*i*:iit<* \\:tge per miner in one ol the largest mines from October I. 1 StM?, In June I. lS'JT. or during a period of eiuh! mouths ! was $tiO per man. Think of t hat. gentleman ol' tlie press? a month wage [ ?.*r man! Is there any reason in accusing men of political objects in striking under such pay as that? The only principle involved is that of living wages. Men can not support a family on <"(' a month ; indeed, it would not bu a decent support lor a single man. To demand bread enough to sus tain life is not a political action, ami all charges of such intent are not only cruel and baseless , but incendiary. N.I), liatchl'ord.president of the j I nited Mine Workers of America, states tli.) case in plain and truthful language when lie says: "Our present suspension is not of our choice. It is forced upon us by. the continuous reductions in wages until the point is reached where living by our industry is no lo nger possible." It is not politics, but it is star vatioti that has caused the strike. Hood's Are K.ihiinK favor rapidly, Hunli.css men and travel- ^^3 I I i !
