A farmer, says an exchange, in speaking before an institute of his profession recently said: “As a rule the farmer has no better friend than the country press. The home paper is distincly the farmer’s own paper. It is comyosed directly and indirectly by the far- mers, who composed the backbone of printer’s subscription list and largely for him the merchants adver- tise. Now, brother, let us not forget our friends. “Let us see that our subscription is paid before the first of January and a year in advance. Another thing, the merchants who advertise are the ones who make it possible for us to get a good local paper and the man or firms who are too penur- ious to advertise and help support the local press have no right to the farmer’s patronage. I propose hereafter to go to a good, live adver- tiser instead of to those who pro- pose to take all and give nothing in return. If the farmers as a class would support their friends, the others would soon be out of busi- ness.” CAUSTIC COMMENT. [A. G. Rutledge.] Do your best—but not not your best friends. Some sound arguments consist mainly of loud talk. Gray hairs need be honored only when they adorn honest heads. A hot-headed woman and a stick of a man ought to make a good match. His satanic majesty would soon have to shut up shop if he did busi- ness on the C. O. D. plan. It must make the owner of a $1,- 000 automobile feel cheap when chased by a cur of a dog that would not bring thirty cents at at sausage foundry.

AWAITS OFFICIAL RECORDS Before the Society Can Accept the Claim of Commander Peary or Dr. Cook That the North Pole Has Been Attained It WIll Be Necessary That the Papers of Each Explorer Be Carefully Examined. ‘Washington, Oct. | —In view of the polar controversy the board of di- rectors of the National Geographic so- ciety held a special meeting to de- termine the attitude the board should assume toward Dr. Frederick A. Cook upon the occasion of his visit here next Sunday, when he will deliver a lecture on his Arctic experiences. The decision was reached that Dr. Cook under the circumstances could not be recognized in an official way. The conclusions of the board were stated in an announcement by Pro- fessor Willis L. Moore, president of the society, who urged that both Commander Peary and Dr. Cook lose no time in submitting their observa- tions, notes and data to a competent sclentific commission In the United States. The announcement states: “Before the society can accept the conclusion of elther Commander Peary or Dr. Cook that the North pole has been attained it will be necessary that the scientific records and data of each explorer be carefully exam- ined by its committee on research or by somebody or commission accept- able to the board. The scciety takes this position not from any distrust of the personal integrity of either ex- plorer, but because of the many cal- culations that enter Into the deter- mination of the pole. The National Geographic society urges Commander Peary and Dr. Cook speedily to sub- mit all their observations, notes, and data to a competent sclentific com- mission in the United States.” DR. COOK MAY NOT CONSENT Request to Produce His Records in the United States. New York, Oct. '.—The request of the National Gecgraphic scciety to Commander Peary and Dr. Cook to submit all their observations, notes and data speedily to a competent sci- entific commission “in the United States” will in all probability not be fulfilled.

The delay caused by the detention of somie of Dr. Cook’s instruments at FEtah, where they were left in charge of Harry Whitney, may induce him 1o alter the declsicn. Up to the pres- ent, however, Dr.. Cook bas mnot changed his original fntentions. Dismissed for ‘Hazing.
