This Is .very appropriate as to day Is the, 'birthday of President llncoln?. .... Uncle Dave's Letter Every man Is a factor of society, and as such he is accountable for tlic manner In which he performs the du tics which devolve upon Pirn. The first is to his homo und fam ily. The second to his government that permits him to enjoy the blessing and happiness of Ills home and family. The third is to better the conditions and advance the interests of his chos en occupation. Since wo are looking at the runn er's side of the question, what should he hii action and what can lie do to better h!s condition? There are certain conditions exist ing (hat must be met ami overcome to obtain results desired by the farm er. What legislation Is needed UlUol be secured by bis combined efforts. As an individual among one hundred mil lions of people he Is Inliniloslniully small, and as an individual he is hopelessly helpless to do one thins lb obtain relief. The moment the farm er attempts lo. relieve any burden created by unlu t luxation or uuc<itial distribution of it. It makes no differ ence in what direction, he Is met by an o-.ganlzed force: No argument Is needed at this time to'convince any Intelligent farmer that such Is the case, it is not enough that he coin phi v.i and wants couictlUing done, but he is morally bound to do some thing himself and not merely wish it done, lie has power and it is lib; duty to use that power so as to make it available und his influence felt or his power available as an Individual (and I say he can not) hii duty 1b to make It so, and that can only be done through his organized efforts. Every farmer owes it to society to assist hi securing honest legislators and hisl representation. That a lethargy ex ists among farmers in regard to po litical duties is evident from the class of legislator * that represent them, composed as It Ib almost wholly of men from other professions nnd pos sessing but little interest in the af fuf-i of the farmer. The farmer ha-i submitted ??o long to the powers that be that in many places he has lost confidence in his ability to do any thing, and above all needs the stlmu lating influence of a farm orgnniza tion to awaken his energies and give him courage, if the farmer hopes to keep pace with other callings In the race of lire he mutt travel at the same rate of speed. In order to do this he mutt omeloy some or the earns agen des, und organization, above all. Is the one upon which he relics. If ho would maintain a high standard of womanhood he must secure for her .equal privileges in social; and educa tional circles., for whenever she falls below him !p. ability or culture ? ceases to be lits equal or Idol. If he lesiroH hi? boys or girls to be ahining lights-in the world, whether on the farm or,elsewhere, ho must give them the opportunity for development, un til tboir orb Is compassed or sphero complete. help iu time of trouble. The problem of country life is. in the truest sense, a national problem. It is especially important that what ever will serve to prepare country children for life on the farm, and whatever will brighten homo life in the country ami make It richer and more attractive for the mothers, wivos and daughters of farmers, should bo done promptly, thoroughly and glad ly. Thero 1* no more important per son, measured in iulluence upon the life of the nation, than the farmer's wife, no more important homo than the country home, and It is of national Importance to do the best we (ran fur both :v? .lust think of it?a full table, d'hote dinner for :?0 cents: Oysters, soup, liah, roust turkey, salad, tee cream, fruit, demitusse!

This muy he a bargain price, hut this country doesn't wunl uny of it. all the same. Do you think the devil really has horns and hoofs? No, if ho had, the beef trust would have got him long ago.- -i One of the strangest things in this world is whv a womun who can trim a pencil with y pair of scissors |s not considered competent to vote along side or a man who can't bake u bat ter cake on a hot griddle. Anderson County will never uguin puy the expenses of this delegation to Columbia?Murk my prediction. In nineteen hundred and twenty-llvu The college gruds who are then alive Will never boast what their child baa done. Cun't be did?lor there won't ho none. They'll have the poodlo'<s pattering paws.

Tal Philllns of sandy Springs nak ed that wo tell the difference between monopoly and socialism. The differ ence'bot wocn monopoly and socialism is that under the rulo of monopoly a few men would own everything, whllo under the rule of sncialirm no man In a short time would own anything. If there were no other difference so cialism would bc'wor-sc than monop oly because, while both spell death In the end, socialism, being the quick er death, leaves us less hope and less opportunity of escaping It. I recently visited that part of old Virginia where George Washington was at one time the largest farmer in America. His original will?still to be seen at the old Fairfax County court house, shows that he was the owner of nearly 60,000 acres of land. Or this great acreage r>,000 acres were In Fairfax County. In 175:5 a memo randum-showed that ho had cropB us follows: 580 acres grass; 4HO acres oats: 700 acres.wheat:,700 acres corn; besides, several hundred acres In rye. buckwheat, potatoes, peas, and tur nips. In that year ho killed 2fi0 hogs for the me or bis family and his ne groes. He owned between 300 and 400 &1&VG8* As late as 1854 only seven yearB prior to the beginning or the Civil War there were only three white fum Hio3 living on the 5,500 acres, which Washington had owned in Fairfax County. At present over 150 familicu own subdivisions of this land, or farm subdivisions ranging In size from 50 to 250 acres. Dr. Breedln says'his bens are get ting so lazy that thev don't get up until a quarter after nine in the morn ing, and afcks for advice. Your prob lem may be solved, doctor, by having chicken pie every day until there are no hens to "get up" and then get in a lot of nice hustling hens. Every farm should b? a sanitarium. Fresh air, fresh water, fresh vegeta bles, fresh fruits, fresh eggs, fresh milk and fresh cream can be had In nbund.snce. What health report can do better? GIRLS hi;HE'S YOUR CHANCE Fat Actor Laments Nobody Loses . Him;1' That a fat man Is the most sensi tive creature In the world'Is the con tention or Frank Harsh, who weighs 300'!poundB, and is playing the. part of Daniel Stuart, an eccentric comedy, In the musical spectacle "The Prlhcp of Tonight,,", coming, to the grand.open?-' Ing "The Anderson" thcatro Friday, February 19. To look'at 'Harsh, one would'never Imagine that ho had been a soldier, his wah.t line of 100 inches .or more. .It would seem .could never have fit luto one" of Uncle Sam's uniforms, but Harsh explains that his corpulency developed after his scrvico in the Spanish-American war. If ho . had remained a soldier he would nut now bo an actor fat man. And which Is worse, he aBks? Harsh, who has been playing, com edy roles for several years, says there Is a difference between a fat man und a man who Is fat. The fat man, ac cording to his definition, is a fat headed slob who takes great pride and pleasure In patting himself, und gloat ing over his avoirdupois, On the con trary, the man who is merely fat feolu that he did not achicvo it, but that na ture thrust it upon him. The actor says that his battle against flesh has boon much warmer than any fighting he experienced against the Spaniards. Mr. Harsh sovs, with grlcr in his tones, that he has round the ' old phrase "Nobody loves a fat'man" lit erally true. "I have- never married because I have never found anyone who would have me. If any nice girl wants to propose she may drop me a Une care of the above company." . mm Nature never made a greater mis take than when she deposited sand on the surface of certain farms instead of placing It down ten or fifteen feet so that it.would be out of tho way. I know a few farmers who have farm ed sandy land all tbelr lives and it Is difficult for me to tell at this time which of them is the poorest If the day'looks kinder gloomy, An' yer chances kinder slim, ' If the situation's pusilln', Ah' the prospect's awful grim, An' perplexities keep"'presstn*, Till all hope is nearly' gone. - Jest bristle up and grit your teeth An' keep on keeping on: Honor Is a good thing to have, etth er to spend money on or borrow rvoney on.
