WHEN NATURE MAKES LIFE
WORTH LIVING.
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.

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.
