Speaking of an ideal life, there is nothing better or more independent than a life on a well regulted farm in a prosperous section of the country. In the cities and towns we are en gaged in a constant game of compe — tition one with another, always con fronted with the possibility that the commercial rise of the other fellow means our own downfall. But not so on the farm, where every man is a life and a producer and a consumer unto himself. The farmer raises his grain, and his foodstuffs, and his hogs and cattle and chickens and eggs, and by his own efforts alone his table is sup plied the year round and his surplus gives a sufficiency for those articles not produced on his own acreage. It makes no material difference to him whether his neighbor is successful or a failure, for the rapid rise of one does not necessarily imply the finan cial disintegration of another. Hard times and panics may sweep over the land, strewing the path of life with the corpses of the com mercial wrecks, but the farmer moves steadily onward and Is the last man on earth to feel the pinch of want. His crops continue to grow and thrive, his stock fattens and becomes meat for his table, his fields and his gar dens furnish him the sustenance of life, and he feels, as he is, the one man on all of this earth who is abso lutely independent of all other men or combinations of men. When the country is staggering un der the weight of depression, and buy ing is slow and prices are down, he still has the satisfaction of knowing that his own table will be well sup plied while people in cities and towns may be looking for bread for the next meal. We hear many people deprecate a life on the farm because of the hard work and long hours it entails, but these same people seem to overlook the fact that there is no other busi ness in life which does not require its labor and its toil and its brain racking and nerve destroying race in competition with others of its kind. And always before those engaged in commercial pursuits is the dreaded spectre of hard times or strangula tion at the hands of a successful com petitor. - Young men of to-day who are com fortably settled on the farm, or are just completing their education pre paratory to a life career, should re main right where they are and never leave the green fields of the country. The great cities will offer them white lights, and dissipation, and de bauchery, and failure in nine cases out of ten, and death will find them wish ing to God they had never strayed from the comforts of the old fireside. But not so the country. It offers them a life of freedom, and manhood, and usefulness, with plenty to eat and to wear, and health, happiness and a clear conscience. Now that the summer’s work is over and the time is ot hand when young men begin to long for the gaieties of city life, we suggest that you spend your idle moments in study ing the latest and most improved methods of farming. Thumb over the pages of your farm journals, and the bulletins of the agricultural schools, and perfect yourself for a winning fight in extracting greater wealth from the mother earth, the source from which all wealth springs. Stick to the farm. It is the greatest spot on earth. LOOK IN THE GLASS. If you feel grouchy and out of sorts and the world seems warped and twisted from all viewpoints, look in the glass. Your own reflection will set you thinking and wondering if per haps it is not you instead of the world that is warped. When something goes wrong and you feel like cussing or kicking the cat there is nothing quite so ef ficacious as looking in a glass. You see yourself as you are and not as per haps you think you are. All of your hard lines and your ill humor are re flected by the faithful glass, and the moment, a fleeting smile begins to creep over your face the glass will magnify it and glorify it until in but a short time you will be forgetting en tirely your ill humor and will be smil ing from the pure joy of living. Look in the glass. READ THE ADS, SAVE MONEY Has it ever occured to you that it would be money in your pocket to glue your eyes— both of ’em—to the ads in this paper every week? It’s a fact, and others know it and are profiting by that knowledge, whether you are or not. From now on you will find this paper full of ads of the thousand and one things needed for the Christmas holi days. The very article you want will probably be mentioned somewhere in the ads, and it will be decidedly to your interest to know which store can sell it to you to the best advantage. Keep your eyes on the ads—they tell the story. According to a statement made by Chief Inspector, H. E. Emerson, of the grain Inspection Department of the state of Minnesota, 272 cars of wheat, and 26 cars of rye have been imported from Canada since Sep tember 1st, for milling in Minneapolis. This wheat was sold in competition with the American farmer and neces sarily deprived him of a market for 298 cars of grain. Not only that, but it served to reduce the price the American farmer would otherwise re I ceive. These figures cover only the ^amount milled in Minneapolis. It will be interesting later to see the figures ■covering importations of Canadian grain for milling in other American cities. The democratic tarriff law reduced the tariff on wheat from 25 to 10 cents and placed rye on the free list. Let us spend the coming winter months in devising ways and means of making next summer the most prosper ous one in the agricultural history of this community. There are many ' ways in which we may increase the If Germany can put millions of men into the war and still cultivate practi cally every acre of waste land, why is it we of the United States can not more materially increase our yield when we have no one at war? When we answer this question in a practi cal manner we will be in a fair way to double the wealth of our country, output to the acreage with but little added expense, but we will have to get together and compare notes in order to accomplish it. Who is for expan sion and greater prosperity? « Of course, every candidate is sure of an overwhelming victory at the polls. But then even a yellow dog may de lude himself into thinking he is a bloodhound. Confidence breeds success, and suc cess inspires greater confidence and the ability to perform that which we undertake. COMMISSIONERS MEET. Nov. 2, 1915.

Board on motion adjournd till Nov. 9th, 1915. L.B. POLSKI, County Clerk. It is really strange the way some people will scrape and economize to save a penny in some ways and turn right around and waste dollars in others. They leave wagons, and bug gies, and all sorts of machinery out in the weather from one year’s end to another, apparently never giving a thought to the fact that every day of inclement weather causes a distinct deterioration in the value and useful ness of the article or vehicle in ques tion. Take a walk around town and | you will see wheelbarrows, axes, gar den tools, and many other things out in the weather, all corroding with rust and wearing out from neglct. And every time you see this you see a man who is economizing in one way and throwing his money to the birds in another.
