PAYING FOR THE FARM.
The time is coming, it may
not be very far distant, when
the people of this country who
have no homes will find it very
hard to earn enough by farming
to pay for a farm. Even with
the higher prices now being
paid for farm products those
who must pay for land any-
where near markets and desir-
able from its nearness to roads,
schools, churches and good
neighbors find many difficulties.
Short crops and poor prices for
some crops* are difficulties likely
to be met any year.
The best lands are not as
easily bought and paid for as
they were a few years ago.
They will be more difficult to
own a few years hence than they
are now. Rich farms, well sit-
uated, are not always obtainable
at reasonable prices, while poor,
impoverished farms, inaccessi-
ble to markets and educational
advantages may be easily
bought. Yet there may be
many hardships Connected with
paying for a poor farm where
the manager must invest, consid-
erable of his means in building
up the soil. But poor farms are
being bought and paid for every
year and those who are build-
ing up homes under such trying
difficulties are a credit to the
slate and the nation.
Young farmers who arc be-
ginning fanning for themselves
will find opportunities to buy
farms. There are places in the
Southwest where there are ex-
cellent advantages for getting
homes, even where one has very
little capital. But there are
fewer such farms every year
tfekn the gear Mora. »
From (he experience of farm-
ers who have paid for farms it
is pasier in most instances to
buy on time and live while one
pays than to wait till enough
money is saved to buy. One
who knows how to farm; has
enough equipment to begin and
can make a small payment
should not hesitate to buy and
begin to build up n home.—

CUBA.
Cuba's period of freedom h&a
not lw»en u cotmpicuous success
in the way of illustrating the
blessing of free government.
Here she is with h«r thin! rev-
olution in less than nineteen
years, and the present uprising
seems to be more aorious than
the preceding ones.
When wo consider the experi-
ence of the Spanish-American
nations, it is no wonder that so
many men doubt thut those peo-
ples are capable of self-govern
ment >
If there is in Cuba any ves-
tige whatever of self-control or
spirit of tolerance, now is the
time for it to be manifested
The United States will not go
Into Cuba many more times to
compose its quarrels and restore
order. Some of these days such
occupation will become perma
nent
At the present time the Cu-
bans raise their disturbance
whf n there ought to be every in-
centive for them to be quiet
Mexico and Santo Domingo are
giving us trouble at a time when
it ia incumbent upon the United
States to conccntrate and con-
solidate all its defensive
strength for the perils which be-
set the country.
It ia nothing short of exaaper-
ating that Cuba should add to
•nxietiaa or burdens now.
there are any statesmen in
Cuba, and if the turbulent ele-
there have any sense
it Ib high time that
of the present
be manifested.
