Cultivate Friendship.

Genius for making friends belongs to
the open, responsive, unselfish and warm
hearted The selfish even If they make
friends, cannot keep them. The culture
Of friendship is a duty owe to hu-
man nature. Friendship should become
habit; but it may be killed by neglect
or strangled at it's birth by thoughtless-
ness. The cold and sallow heart has no
place for friendship. The whole secret
of making friends is in the practice of
the Golden Rule" The channels of
friendship should never be allowed to
clog, but an open way be ever kept be-
tween heart and heart.
The ''Edda" says: ......-. &
II thou knowest thou hast a friend
Whom thou well canst trust,
Go oft to visit him;
For with brushwOod overgrown
And with high grass
Is the way that treads. ,
In the Apocryphal book of Ecclesiasti-
Gus we read: eff thou fndest a good
man, rise up early in the morning to go
to him, and let thy feet wear the step
Of his house,
Friends should cultivate similar tastes,
that they may understand and appreciate
each other. There may be harmony Of
soul with sometimes many and great diff
ferences. It is enough if they know each
others hearts. There can be no friend
ship without trust. We remain alone in
the world so long as we are all suspicion
and stand off by ourselves icy and cold,
''buttoned up We can do nothing with
or for each other without confidence. Blu
we must also guard against imposition.
Our hearts are not always to be carried
in our sleeves for every daw to peck at.
You will need all yoursjudgment and wis
dom to keep the middle path between

Lay spread from door to door, from street to

Beyond, priests fitted, bowed and murmured

Men came and went and worshiped they

And still their dust, woman with her broom,
Bowed to her work, kept sweeping to the door,

rotary of the Fergus Falls branch, shows
the work is beginning in earnest. The
first meeting after summer vacation was
held Sept. 10, at the home of the presi-
dent, Miss. Frances Collier. It was de-

the sum. On Sept. 16 a candy sale was
held and $3.50 was made. The branch is
now planning to give an entertainment in
few weeks at which it is hoped tho
amount needed will be raised.

"Tama jim" Predicts That When the

Their Heavy Farm Yields the Ma
ton VIII Share Benefits in Lower
Average Prices.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 29.-Secre-
tary Wilson of the department of ae-
r1culture predicts lower retail prices
during the coming winter season for
meat, dairy products, poultry and other
necessities of life. He says the relief
for the householder will come from the
enormous yields of small grain and
corn In the great grain territory Of
Illlnois. Minnesota, the Dakotas, Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas.
Heavy crops" the secretary said,
have resulted in the return of normal
agricultural conditions in the great
producing states. The meat producers
have been losing money for the past
three years. Grain cost too much.
There was no profit in feeding, as
strange as this may seem to people
who pay such prices as we do four our
meat. But the heavy grass crop Of this
year, in addition to the heavy corn
crop and the heavy oats crop, will all
combine to bring about normal feeding
conditions. And this means direct
influence on horses, beef, pork, dairy
products and poultry.
Prices should not average as high
for these articles in the future, but at
any rate the farmer will make more
money because he has more and cheap
er raw materials to use Corn has
been selling in the corn producing
states most of the time spoken fat SO
cents a bushel The farmer and pro
ducer depend on corn and other grains
and been cannot be proftably produced

The price Of each pound and bushel oi
Individual products may not be so high
in consequence; in fact, 1t is my be
lief that 1t will not be. but at any rate
the full crops will mean more pounds

make for reduced prices under norma
and average conditions of supply and
demand"
