THE SAGER’S SAYINGS (Continued from last week. The unequalities of the farmer’s compensation and the urban wage is the crux of the whole matter havinQ to do with the dissatisfaction that exists. To pay the excess remunera tion to organized crafts the unpro tected tiller must perforce be denied his just portion of labor’s incremen. The people are seemingly but neg atively interested in the matter, nor grasp the significance of the grow ing exodus from the farm, the eco nomic pressure resulting from which is now being much felt and if con tinued the agricultural states will greatly suffer. Without the depend ent support the edifice will totter and without adequate returns from his produce, the farmer, who is one-half of the world’s populace, can not give support to commerce and industry. The modern tiller of the soil who manages to hold his head above wa ter against the avalanche of cumu lative debentures that invest him can not be categoried as a hewer of wood for more intelligent applica tion and a keener perspective is re quired in the efficient productive pro cess than is needed in manual labor in the cities. Even the middle class es of so-called mental workers do not require as ready exercise of wit as do the farmers who have a penny left at the end of the year. The di vergent classes have a cut and dried methodical process to guide them wherein scarce deviation from the given rule is practiced. The merchant figures his percent age of profits. The pedagogue has a prescribed method of teaching. The railroad man does the same thing every day, all formulated and lined off. The banker takes in and pays out, knowing his rates of interest. The parson has a passport to Beulah Band if his flock lets him starve. The lawyer lives by his ready wit. The baker and tinker can trade with one another if business slackens and the doctor can take his own medicine i* his stomach upsets, but the wearv old moss-back must battle with every kaleidoscopic change on the back ground of human endeavor without recourse. He can not refer to the chart, for the knowledge must rank with the creators to inubitably plan ahead and precedence for carrying on does not exist. He must thresh out the problems that, ever arise within his own brain, only his initiative to be relied upon. This pictures a bleak aspect, to be sure, and it is all of that with the double eight hours per day labor and the sweat sapping the grease out of his anatomy His exertions of mind and body leaving him so weary and drawn when the even-tide glides away that he scarce can taste his pone and fry and by the time ha scrapes the sweat and grime off he sinks more deeply in the arms of morpheus than all of Doctor Hand’s red mixture and the sleep potions of Doctor Jack •omblned could ever calculate to put bins However, it is averred that water will seek its level, and if so it be and the brimming pool on the other side can take In no more then the water will flow back and the famish ing tiller if he lives to abide the LADY WAS IN A BAD FIX FROM NERVOUS INOtfiESTHHI l : Biloxi, Miss.—“l had, for a year or more, nervous indigestion, or some form Os stomach trouble,” says Mrs. Alonzo Ford, 1117 Clay Street, this city. "The water 1 drank at that time seemed to constipate me. 1 would suffer until 1 got ao nervous 1 wanted to get down on the Boor and roll. I felt like 1 could tear a my clothes. * "Every night, and night after night, 1 had to take something for a laxative, and it had to be kept up nightly. My side would pain. I looked awful. My skin was sallow and seemed spotted. I would leak at my bauds and arms, and the flash looked lifeless. "1 happened to get a Birthday Almanac, so I taM my husband I would try the malt Hu—hi which 1 did. I took a tew tdgdoaas. IMI much better. My lhrer acted wed. I made a good, warm trataif drank ft that way. Soon I found day will have a part in the scheme of existence. But this extravagant idealism, as evidenced by the past, will be of short shift unless ade quate and binding correction by the body politic intervenes in the mean time or the milienium ushers in and the Golden Rule is mankind’s guiding star. The husbandman typifies the ideal conception of mankind's activities hereon. Other vocations are merely relatives, the entire superstructure resting, as it were, on the producer’s diligence in the fields of production. The farmer in the very nature of his calling can not practice chicanery or upish methods on the soil save that he pay the penalty within him self in a short harvest. Folks can be tricked but never the soil. His sphere is the glory of the Lord, bilt. she nefarious persecutions of his kind has degenerated his lot into about the most abject condition possible. The rising tide of glorious day His are the eyes that first behold And thrilling to the gripping sway With valiant hopes he is away Life’s noblest mission to enfold. Decreed of God, nor doth complain When elemental storms betide And o’er his fields incessant rain Deluge the crops of budding grain In faith’s impress his hopes abide. No impulse of (lie grafter’s creed Can ever live where uature guides The surging craft. No puerile deed But that will die and mortal greed Its festering spirit ever hides. Oftime* misfortune’s blighting toll Denudes his land and transient woes Ensnare, but soon his ardent soul Redeems itself and on the scroll Is writ a challenge to his foes. In keeping with the plans of God That mortal at the sweat of brow Must oil to live he bides the rod And plys the course true men have trod Aeons agone behind the plow'. WHITE POND NEWS.
