FARMING pays handsomely Il yon
make it. Well directed effort, ia

to which attention must be paid.
No business viii pay unless con-
Quoted upon correct principles.
But it depends largely upon the
farmer. If he is made of the rigat
kind Of stuff and has a level head,
he will make farming pay. The
twentieth century farmer should
be unlike those who have pegged
away on the same plans since Col
umbus discovered America. He
should be properly balanced
as to brain and muscle. and should
use the former fully as much as
the latter. Farmers who are max
ing their business pay are built
this way. No farmer of sound
mind and unimpaired health should
fail at farming, for it. more than
any other occupation, is sugges-
tive of its own requirements pre-
ceeding success.

Der of the congregation, denounced
Joseph McFern, another member
in the presence of a large audience
and caused the latter to assault
him.
McFern was on his feet talking,

failure to pay his debts and with
not living a Christian life. The
accusation was bitterly resented by
McFern, who retorted in kind and
then clinched with Zimmers.

the minister asked that the lights
be turned down and that friends
interfere. The fight was stopped,
but the meeting was broken up.
