THE FARMER wao Is IN DEBT

We wish sincerely there were some
thing encouraging In the atmosphere
for the man who Is In debt and who
has to depend on the products Of the
soil or the value of his land to get out.
His lot is a hard one, but II may be
possible to direct him to take the
wleest course under the circumstances.
He has a good deal of company, and II
he "a true man he will consider that
nothing is to he gained by dependency
and that In this struggle through
period Of depression, II Is the faint
hearted that will surely go TO the wall,
So a brave heart is necessary in an!
storm If you would weather the gole.
There are many days Of bad sailing
ahead. There are lnstallments ara
interest 70 meet and not much to make
II out OF. You may haye obligations
to pay for the next two or three years
or more. Stop all the leaks in youi
vessel the first thing, then explain tO
your crew just how you are situated
Tell your family what resources yu
are relying upon and just what oblign-
tIons you haye to meet and how you
expect to meet them. Get them t.
good.natnredly help keep the vessel
before the wind and tell them the joys
of bringing her safely into harlor'
Save the family honor aud integrity hy
meeting your obligations at all sacTi-
fees. The character Of your children
will he the stronger for IL, II they can
proudly lift their heads aud say We
paid every dollar we owed TO any man
and can look the world squaIely In
the face.
This will require sacrifices. II will
require abstinence from many luxuries.
But II Is a discipline that is worth en-
during. 1t Is the trial that Sits the
chaf from the wheat. Despair leads
only to destruction. Any true man
or woman will. bravely prefer hard
ships that will make them morally and
spiritually great, to a prosperity that
treacherously dlsslpates their moral
forces. The farmer who is In debt has
better chance to have his boys and
girls amount TO something and grow
up TO be honorable men and women,
than he who has capital enough to
make them think they do not have to
work and earnestly battle for existence.
Th ere are worse things than debt.
