Recognizing Him “We must recognize the farm as the corner-stone of na- tional prosperity,” says James J. Hill. Of course we must. In fact, we cannot help recognizing the farm and the farmer, and, that being the case let's do so cheerfully. It is the farmer who raises the stuff and has it in hand before the railway manager can carry it, or the dealers can corner it or the public can consume it. Of course we must recognize the farmer Why, for instance, look at the prosperity we are having n potatoes this year, as compared with last. For some rea- én or other you farmers failed to produce many potatoes last year. The crop was short, and because of that shortage on your part, Mr. Farmer, you are to be informed with much severity that there was some lack of prosperity on our part. For instance, you are to be informed, Mr. Farmer, while you are standing there on the carpet, that one result of your short- age in spuds was that Mr. Hill's Northern Pacific Company (capitalized at $248,000,000 and bonded at $190,952,500), was 0 short of spud traffic that spuds became an almost negligible quantity—get that, Mr. Farmer?—an almost negligible quan tity so far as earning any appreciable per cent of dividend @f interest on those stocks and bonds, and the water therein contained and concealed, is concerned. Also, Mr. Farmer, you are to be informed with still more Severity that, because of your short spud crop in 1911, the higher cost of living on spuds went up to a figure that was— ah, ‘er—to us consumers very exasperating, indeed But, as Mr. Hill shows by his words, we are recognizing you this year because you have plowed and planted and swat- ted the potato bugs and raised a big crop. Mr. Hill’s cars must be loaded with something, as his Northern Pacific stock is now comfortably quoted at 124, and his national prosperity is all right. With us consumers the situation is also much More satisiactory—oh, very much—as you farmers, having plenty of potatoes, are now giving us about four times as many for a dollar as you did last year. We congider that very rea- sonable—quite satisfactory to us. So plow and plant a-plenty, Mr. Farmer, plow and plant more than a-plenty. That helps to make wational prosperity for us.

BY WILLIAM MAXWELL (Special Correspondence.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 18, 1912.-—Kiami! Pasha, grand vizier of the Turkish empire, is the man directing the struggle against the Ralkan allies trying to maintain peace and arouse enthusiasm for the Crescent in Asiatic Turkey, while at the same time battling in diplomacy for Tur- key against four nations. He ie at the present moment supremo throughout the empire, a figure far more powerful than the sultan himself, and far more able. In his ninetieth year, this “grand old man” of the Moslems is vie orous mentally and physically, keen of eye and mind, with a bearded face that stiows intellect and firmness. Despite his many years and a career of varied and venturous activities, he alone seems to have the experience and authority, as well aa the determination, indispensable in the crisis facing the Turks. Klamil Pasha bas been grand visler four times, from 1986 to 1891; from 1896 to 1897; from 1908 to 1909, and now, ‘Vizier’ eos one who bears a burden. The grand visler corresponds to the English premier and the American secretary of state, in that be heads the cabinet, bat Kiamll Pasha has much greater powers and heavier burdens now than either the American or English premiers. He ix the only Turk who ever held that office four times. Ueually & grand vizier “mysteriously disappears” when he is “separated” from the job. Kiamil came mighty near “disappearing” once himeelf, That was in ‘97, when he was so thoughtless as to suggest to Abdul Hamid that the people should have a few constitutional rights. The old, tyran- nical sultan removed him from office, and Kiamil-was rent to Aidin, where he lived in exile 13 years, Then he slipped into Constantinople under British protection and assisted the Young Turks in thelr fight for a constitution and a new sultan. To & person acquainted with Turkish officials the most astounding thing about Kiami! Pasha fs that he ts a poor man, and always was poor, In @ land where the officers live by grafting and outright steal- Ing, this is remarkable, Other grand vizlers have left the office loaded No other Turk is big superior The saying that “Woman's crowning glory is her hai was*all right when originally sprung on society, and it still Possesses clement’ of truth when the possessive pronoun “her” is literally translated, so to speak, but the man of today has heard of “rats,” coils, switches, Janes, puffs, braids, etc., ete., etc, and he doesn’t scatter his love of hair around regardless | of promiscuosity. He is quite inclined to say that if she grew, cultivated, fertilized and dressed what she has on her scalp, she’s a love, but that the chances are that she elongated and tied into a lovely bowknot some male relative’s leg in ‘erder to fatten the purse of some hair store proprietor.

Wells-Fargo Co. was asked upon: what they based these charges, and the company offictal admitted he didn’t know.
