In men whom men pronounce divine,

Indiantown, May 18:?None of
this tribe have been drowned,neither
have they been blown away. It's
still too wet to plow on many of the
farms, but the farmers are finding
lots of other things to do. The central
part of our community was visited
again Saturday afternoon by a
wind, rain and hail storm.
Rev and Mrs W J Pritchard and
little son were "installed" at the

two Sunday afternoons of each

of the church at Ridgeway, and
* those people are complimenting
themselves upon getting such a
splendid man as he has proven to be.
The Sunday-school picnic held May

joy the dinner and the girls' baseball
game. The young ladies played
against the school girls and, needless
? to say,the latter carried off the honors.
The splendid hitting aid running
of Misses Bessie McCutchen
and Eva Gamble for the school girls
was great, a> d I'm sorry for all who
missed seeing that game. The married
men also played against the single
men and" that, too, was a close
, and interesting game.

ver< i: ements," recently remarked G- <
A. Yager of Thompsonville, Conn.,
whose business has carried him Into ^
nearly all the New England states, to <
a Macon, Mo., man on a recent visit .
to that city. "Up my way there are ^
any number of farmers who run advertisements
regularly in both the ^
weekly and daily papers. <
"These are not advertisements for
the sale of a certain lot of stock or
grain, but regularly Inserted advertise- ^
ments calling attention to their farms l
and the character of their production. ^
Frequently the advertisements include
pictures of the barns and dwellings ^
and pasture scenes. <
"The producers have found that it
p^ys. In all the towns are eager buy- Q
ers for all sorts of stock and farm
products and they read these adver- c;
tisements of the farmers. By them I
they learn Joseph Brown has a hun- ft
dred head of fat hogs, and makes a K
specialty of raising that class of stock. I.
Also that he has a fine large poultry P
yard, and always has on hand a g^od P
supply of fowls. Anofher man his ^
made a specialty of certain grain or k
vegetables, and he tells about it in I
his advertisements. ft
"Of course this farm advertising K
yields good results only where the t
- ? m 1 A D
roads are good. mosi i\ew ciugmuu
highways are first-class. Buyers won't F
go out from the cities when the roads ^
are bad unless they are awfully hard k
up for stuff. But they will go in !
swarms when they can get about eas- p
lly, and then Is when the live farmer (
finds it pays to advertise. ^
"If farmers would advertise out here ^
they could get the same results, but
they have to look well after their S
roads first. The farm advertiser not (
only gets business from the towns, but
from bis neighbors as well. They see ^
he has a big stock of something they *
may be short on and they hunt up and ^
make a deal. {
"The day of the business farmer is
elose at hand. Good farmers have pri- S
vate offices in their homes or farms, (
equipped with roll top desks, typewriters
and printed stationery. Many *
of them have given their estate some *
attractive name, which looks well on ^
a letter head and helps to get busi- ^
ness. Then the modern man keeps a
complete set of books, setting* down ^
his Income and expenditures, and {
when the end of the year comes he
will know to the cent what each crop ~
has netted him, and which crops have j>
been a loss. L
"Farm life is growing more and
more attractive as improved methods
are coming into use, and as the work ^
is being more systematized. It ap- ^
peals to the intelligent boy as It never .
did before, because he sees that by ?
proper application he can make $10 '
on the farm where he could make $1 ^
clerking in the store. And on the farm ^
he is largely his own boss. As he
shows capacity he is allowed to take ^
charge of things. That means respon- C
sibility, a thing that brightens up the .
real man. ?
"But I think your farmers are miss- '
Ing It by not advertising. I'll venture ^
they would get much better prices on (
most of their stuff if they let the general
public know what they are doing ^
