KEEPING Of FARM ACCOUNTS

The spendthrift is generally one who
has no idea of what money he has
nor does he care where the other is
coming from. The Co0perator n not
claiming that farmers who do not
keep accounts are deliberate spend
thrifts, for they are far from 1t, but
the cafelessness with which the gen.

The time to do a thing needful to

Our success in life may be limited
BY many things, but 1t is always limit

If We think we are happy then we

who believes himself miserable is Ger.

The man who believes in himself
is stronger for the belief; and If he
have good reason for belief in him

DIGNITY OF HONEST LABOR
There 10 No Calling In This Great
World Than Straightforward
Hard Tell.

The man who holds honest labor in
contempt has not the Christian spirit
In his heart. He hasn't even the milk
OF human kindness. He is selfish and
ought to have been born a hog. His
birth was a mistake. He doesn't even
respect the DEGREES of God. He lodges
the decree: Thou shalt eat bread in
the sweat Of thy face" He seeks to
live of the Nbors of others, and is
therefore q robber. He may wear the
clothes and have the manners Of a
gentleman. But he is not. He is
sailing under false colors. The one
who performs honest labor is a king
compared to him.
When speak Of honest labor do
not mean physical labor alone. There
are thousands Of clerks, merchants,
salesgirls, etc., who toll as honestly
and nobly as the man on the farm
or in the workshop.
1t is honest toll that feeds the
world. 1t is dishonest schemers who
seek to so manipulate our commercial
system as to rob the honest toilers of
their just reward.
God placed the stamp of honor
upon labor.
His decree was given to all the liv.
ing.
SO far as manhood Is concerned, no
man Is the peer Of an honest farmer.
There is no calling in all the world
higher than this.
Luther Burbank has done more for
the world than any philanthropist who
ever lived.
And his work will never end.
He has opened up the doors to dis
covery that will be followed BY 9TH
ers, and all mankind will enjoy the
results Of his labors.
No captain Of finance" no com.
mander of armies will ever be held in
such high esteem.
The plants he has created by
hybridiEation will grow forever and
perpetuate his memory.
Labor is the uncrowned kind Of the
world.
II feeds the world.
1t is to add to the dignity and in.
dependence Of labor that the Farmers
union was organized.
il cares not to be crowned, but II
demands It's own.
Its great armies are marching for.
ward.
Their, banners are being thrown to
the breeze.
This steady onward movement is
shaking the earth.
And the laborer is being recognized
for his true worth.
Let him study to make himself
worthy Of his calling.
Let him look the world in the eyes
and be proud Of his craft.-W. S. Nor.

The Autumn Suit.

Wise buyers always wait until the
very last moment before selecting.
either material or model for their suit,
for autumn usually sees some distinct
difference in cut and trimming. II the
first suit Of the winter is carefully
and thoughtfully chosen 1t is probable
that It will remain in excellent style
throughout the season.
There are rumors that velvet will
be a very fayorite material for win.
ter, and that means that corduroy and
velveteen will both be much worn. As
to color, the wise ones predict a great
rush for green. This will be worn in
all shades and fabrics, and probably
amethyst will be next choice, although
some experts say that blue will be ex
tremely popular.

HELPING THE TEXAS FARMER
Endeavoring to Obtain Right to Send
Man with Each Carload Ship.
nent Of Truck,

we asked our readers to help those
Texas farmers who are trying to OBJ
tain the right to send a man with
each carload shipment of truck. saws
Rural New Yorker. Our folks came
forward, as usual, with facts. One
man In Florida tells how he was
robbed OF tomatoes. He sent ten
crates as sample shipment, and re.
ceived $3.50 per crate. Then he got
up a carload Of nice ones. Just before
the car arrived the commission house
wired him, Market strong at 50 to
$3.50; ship second car sure" He in.
duced his neighbors to make I'D an.
other car, which went on at once. II
was nearly two months after shippine
that any returns were made, and then
the first car averaged "a cents and the
second one Is cents per crate. The
only satisfaction" given was an IN.
sulting letter about poor packing ("
This farmer knows that the carload
lots we're just as well packed as the
ten-crate lot which brought him $3.50.
but as he had no friend in the market
there is no way Of proving his case,
and he must take what the dealer
sees Mt to give him. If some live man
could have gone with that shipment
the commission dealers never could
have stolen the goods. This is but
one case Of hundreds where the dis.
tant shipper is robbed, with no chance
Of redress.

CARRY YOURSELF PROPERLY
That Is the Secret of Retaining Your
Graceful Form for o.
i Years.

To retain your graceful form, learn
how to carry yourself. If women
would be more careful about this
while young they would have finer fg-
ures and more slender hips when
older. The woman who holds herself
straight who does not draw her chin
to the collar of her garment, who
keeps back her shoulder blades, and
thus rounds out her breast, without
an apparent effort keeps her muscles
firm and flexible. Thus the heaviness
which is so much dreaded, and which
destroys all youthfulness and grace,
may be avoided. q
The woman who holds herself well,
who throws the weight of her body
On her hips (this cannot be t often
repeated), instead Of allowing It to be
supported BY the abdomen, has the
carriage Of a queen, the walk of, a
ugmph. Do not fear that you viii &C
Quire q naughty expression. On the
contrary, If your eyes are tender and
your smile Is aniable, your proud
grace will not make you unsympa-
thetic. 9 @
do not mean by this that you
should carry your head like q vain
peacock. or stiffen yourself, or strut;
but hold the bust In the firm and
straight position which nature de-
signed, whether you walk. or sit or
stand, so that you may not leok like a
bundle, but keep your. body in its
proper position. o %
By following this advice you will
stoop or lean with thousand times
more grace and 'fexibility than
woman who relaxes, bends. rounds
her back from mere habit Of indie
ference. Nature always Furnishes US
for disobedience to her laws. It &
her win that the. human race should
keep the body which she has Sculp.
tured erect, with uplifted gaze. II you
allow yourself to be drawn down eto
the earth, you will lose the beauty
Of your form. %
