DISCUSSES THE CAMPAIGN First Meeting Since the Itmirli W'liirh Kpsultcil After a Talk in a Xew York dub. Washington, Oct. 4.?President Wilson and George Harvey, formerly editor of Harper's Weekly, but now of The North American Review, whose controversy over the support of Harper's Weekly furnished one of the chief incidenrs of Mr. Wilson's campaign for the presidency, celebrated "Peace Sunday" today by a harmony meeting at the White House. It was their tirst meeting since their talk in 1;?11 in the presence of Henry Watterson, editor of The Louisville Courier-Journal, which gave rise to Mr. Watterson's later attacks on Mr. Wilson and led Mr. Harvey to support Speaker Champ Clark for the presidential nomination. Mr. Harvey called at the White House at the invitation of Mr. Wilson to discuss the European situa iion and tne inn campaign, in uie last issue of iiis magazine, Mr. Harvey praised the President's attitude since the outbreak of war in Europe and suggested that he wait patiently for the pysehologicai moment to urge peace. The President and Mr. Harvey re malned in conference for more than an hour. It was said at the White House later that the meeting was most friendly and that past differences were not referred to. Mr. Harvey said he had called at Mr. Wilson's request to discuss public questions, principally the European situation and that "as a matter of course" the talk was friendly. The White House meeting followed a conference between Mr. Harvey, Mr. Tumulty, the President's secretary. Frederick Lyncfi, Democratic national committeeman from Minnesota and Thomas Pence of the national committee's publicity bureau. Tne fall campaign was discussed. In ntw.omlw.p 10II 11 - i?':i ... v.nu? I , I ? I , .Ml . *>11X111. then governor of Now Jersey, talked with Harv and Hrni: Wa'.Ur.'tn in a New York club. The three wore fast friends and the editors liml worked together In Mr. Wilson's interest in New Jersey. In January, 111 12, Mr. Watterson issued tlie statement whieh informed tlie |>ublie for the first time that there had been a breach at the club conference between Wilson and "the two colonels" as they came to l>e styled. Watterson referred to Governor Wilson as "schoolmaster, not a statesman." and said he had treated the two veteran Democratic editors as if they were school boys. The charge of ingratitude also was made, the statement relating that, when asked by Harvey whether the support of Harper's Weekly was embarrassing him Governor Wilson had repneu mat 11 was. After the publication of this statement feeling became bitter among the partisans of the three men. Despite the publication of letter which had passed between Governor Wilson and Colonel Harvey after the club conference, in which letter* there were amenities expressed on both sides, both editors thereafater supported Speaker Clark for the 1 )emocratic nomination.

I Progressive Farmer, j While we all hope the great European war will end soon, it is dangerous to assume that there is any real certainty of its early termination. What we must do is to take no chances on the future, but arj range now to meet the situation with overflowing barns and smokehouses, out of which the home demand may be amply supplied, with a goodly surplus to be sold at war tinw> iiplena The tirst sten in such a live-at-home program must logi! rally consist in an abundance of ! hay and forage?crops that have always paid well and that in most cares now must either be produced at home or gone without. In preparing for an abundant harvest of such crops next spring, it is vital that certain important stops be taktn immediately. First of all. turn to last week's Progressive Farmer and read again what Prof, lmggar says about saving a liberal supply of cowpea and soy bean seed. These soed usually command high prices during the spring months, and it is imperative that liberal quantities be harvested and protected against weevils and other in sects for the spring seeding. Then in those parts of the cotton belt, where lespedeza is proving a profitable hay crop liberal quantities of these seed should be saved for seeding in the oat Holds in February and March. The.i tctaes the oat crop. to which we nave repeatedly nrrrr?M' as one that may, when rightly handled. take he place of cotter, as a cash crop. Proper handling, of course, means fall seeding, the earlier the better; treatment for smut; judicious fertilization, suitable harvesting and threshing machinery where the oats are intended for the marke*; and the seeding of every acre of oat land to some legume that later is to be made into hay. It is this latter point to which we would call especial attention just row?the urgent necessity .'or seeing that an abundant supply of peas, beans or lespedeza seed Is saved to seed every acre of corn ard at lard next nrmg and suninj >r This war will likely mean to us. Mr. Progressive Farmer, many disagreeable things, many real hardships; hut let us make sure now that one of the humiliations we will not suffer will he that of buying next spring dollar-and-a-lialf corn and twenty-five dollar hay to make seven-rent cotton. Why People Should Own and Itead I took*. ! Hy llarry II. French. I have heve asked the <|iiestion why men and women should buy and read hooks. i presume that thej intended to ask. when men and women should read instructive or 1 informing hooks. Kvery one reads novels for the purpose of pleasantly passing an idle hour. Novels, however, have m mikikt cnarin. Many novels give i us a fascinating and instructive ! study of characters' of men and women. and some of them are even philosophical, without violating the canons that should govern their writing. The persistent and consistent reading of books is necessary tu inform the reader of those things that have been accomplished, or attempted, in the past, and to instruct him as to the causes and the origin and progress of social and economic forces. The whole object of reading may be stated to lie the cultivation of the mind, in order to enrich it with facts and to increase its powers of observation and of rationalization. The particular result of such an increase of culture is to attain to a higher standard of idealism by the community.

('??-<>|?erate With the Teachers. "One Who Notices," in Augusta Chronicle. Please permit my using your valuable paper to make a timely suggestion to parents, also teachers, to try and co-operate with each other for the coming school year, that is just connneneing. If a child comes home with the complaint that, "Teacher punished me today and 1 hadn't done anything" and So-nndSo" did this, that or the other tiling, and "nothing was done to him,'' or "My teacher bept me with a rule," etc., tell your child you will investigate the trouble, and if he is in the wrong you will punish him severely for bringing home tales and misrepresenting things to you If this were done more parents would find far less complaints. It a child fails to learn a lesson, i. punished, or kept in. don't blatnc the teacher. Did you see that your child came in from play and studied? Did you overlook them? Ii not, naturally you can expect a failure in their lessons and a punishment from the teachers. 1 actually know of a case of a small boy who was such a terror his parents gave him a regular old-time beating every day. I overheard tht father say, "You are such a terror liar and good-for-nothing, somebody should beat the hound out of you 01 half kill you!" A month later I heard his teachei gave him a rap or two with a rult for downright impudence. Th< father went to the school and de manded an apology from the teach er; said the child had said, "Teach er beat me and I didn't do a thing,' etc. Parents, stop and think how youi children annoy and harass you al day at home; how you long foi school to commence so you can hav< a moment's peace. Remember when your children walk into school room they don't change? they are sometimes worse. Ileiiiem her this when the complaints conn in. Ask the teachers what is tin trouble; give the children to un dcrstand you don't care for talcy Don't encourage tale-bearing, an< you will find better children. A word to teachers: Study you pupils; see if they are nervous, ill or it' there are any good reasons fo their conduct. Warn them llrst I'm not a teacher? God forbid, fo it takes parents for this but have visited schools, been in home where children tell a tale and if ; parent becomes angry and says, "I'l just see that teacher and tell then not to dare punish you again, or hi you.'" The child then becomes en couraged and from a handslap h relates a tale of lieing oruell beaten. A spoiled child make* a poor citi zen. So, remember, parents, an suppress the lirst stories and ther will he happier parents, children an teachers With Slight lie-serve. Judge.
