TO MAKE HARD TIMES.

A good way to make hard times
harder is for every body to put on long
faces, groan aud complain at any and
all sorts of things. Here is about the
way to accomplish it with the least
waste of time or words:
Good molnirg Mr.. Dempsey. A
beautiful day and the weather see ms
perfect"
"Yes, that's al right, but d--n the
times. One does not feel like enjoying
the weather or anything else, when
wheat is down to forty-fve cents and
silver to sixty" MIR. Dempsey has a
chill for the balance of the day and
shows it to all who come within mile
of him, and he spends the balance OF
the day in cursing the times. This is
all wrong and it is not the way to make
times better.
Another excellent way to improve
the times is just when the pinch is
greatest, call in your loans. Ii anyone
owes you a balance, much or little, 60
to him just when the liquidation will
be hardest to him and insist upon a
settlement. Should your debtor make
the statement that to pay it now he will
be com PEELED to sell his best team and
consequently to cripple his farming
operations for tie coming year if forced
now, be sure you are on the right track,
you are going to get the money and
times are going to be ever so much
better with you, but your debtor will
suffer. No matter, times are improving.
There is too much OF this sort OF
remedy used for hard times.
A most excellent way to make times
harder is to collect all your money in
and suffer it to remain in the bank idle.
Don't use it. Don't loan it upon any
sort of security. Don't help your
honest hard working neighbor out with
a loan. What matters it to you if he is
sold out by the sheriff when you might

which might set things to moving. Say
to every man who contemplates i'm
provements that the outlook is un pro-
pitious and that you would not risk it
were you in his place. 1t don't matter
if he has asked you for your advice or
not. Do not let the opportunity for
hitting the times dig pass by unim-

This latter expression will find many
echoes to be sure, but better remedy
would be to put In an extra acre OF

prune up and spray the apple trees. Il
is perfectly astonishing how much good
the latter remedy will do the hal d
times. If you will run over to Grand
junction and ask any farmer or ranch
man in Grand Valley about it, the
only reply you will be likely
to get will be the mans
hearty slap upon that part of his
pants where he is in the habit of carry
ing mis- pocket book, and the equally
hearty tone in mis- voice when be says:
"my friend, pruning and spraying are
the best remedies for hard times" will
very nearly convince you. So nearly
indeed. that you will try it for once.
The true remedy for hard times is
quit groaning and go to work, quit it
now, go to work now. Keeping etern-
ally at it will drive the wolf from any
door. Let the brave true farmers OF
Utah Valley try this and we will all
feel the effects in less than fort
night.
