On The R. I. S. & Il.

On Bud Whites sixteenth birth
day his mother called him to her
side and said: my son, you
have now been sixteen years on
the r. T. S. & H., which means
the Road to Success and Happi-
ness, and you have now reached
the station called Youth. And
your trip so far has been COM
paratively easy and pleasant one.
But, my son, you'll find that your
journey from the station Youth to
that of Manhood will be more
trying and dangerous one; between
those two stations you will lind
many fascinating and attractive
but dangerous spurs and sidetracks.
And each one of these leads to
shame, sorrow and destruction. So
If YOU would reach the end of the
road Success and Happiness, you
must be very careful; stay on the
main line and heed not the Turing
attractiveness of the numerous
sidetracks."
But before Bud left the station
of Youth he was attracted by the
sidetrack that leads to that charac-
ter-destroying station called Saloon.
From there he got onto the spur
that leads to Temptation; from
there to Crime, and from Crime to
Prison-the last sidetrack this side
of Death. But, although Bud was
discouraged and downhearted when
he reached what he supposed was
his Observation-Disclosures, he was de-
lighted to learn that there was a
sidetrack leading from there back
to the main line. And after being
shown the way he started out to
again seek the main line, and found
it. And he stuck to it until he
reached his observation-disclosures
and Happiness.
j Thus it is with all of us, though
! we have gone over the same route
and reached the same station that
Bud did, there is chance for US
to get back onto the main line.
And by staying on the main line
after getting back, we can yet make
, successful trip over the E. Z.

The Little Things.

It's not always safe to rely on things
That are of the largest size:
',ris the smaller boats upon the ship
That save the peoples lives.
It's the smaller parts of the machinery
That cause the locomotion:
And the little brooks and streams and rivers
That make the great wide ocean.
And it's the little deeds Of kindness
We do from day to day.
That bring to us the happiness
That never goes away.
If we would gain the greater things.
We must be satisfied with less.
For it's the way we treat the little Things.
That determines our success.

stitution of this character. To b,
sure most Of our ranchmen have
gotten well-to-do by ranching OF
horseback but perhaps the time ha,
come for more intensive farming
and bigger profits.
a cooperative creamery is q
benefit TO the whole community
The benefits are numerous: the
farmer gets paid monthly, has
money ahead, is out Of debt, live
better and easier. buys more goods
pays as he goes, and his farm con
stantly increases in value.
Prosperity of the farmer means
prosperity TO the merchant ard the
mechanic. Statistics prove that
where successful cooperative cream.
cries are established. the farmer and
C ommunity are in a better financial
condition, than IN other sections
This is the universal case, so much
so, that the present L. s. Secretary
of Agriculture is making special
efforts to increase dairying, and ad-
vocates it To the farmer as being
the best thing he can do. ANY one
interested can write 10 the Depart
