ance Union of Harmony commune
ty held a delightful parlor meeting
on Saturday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. Gamewell Smith. The'l large
parlor was filed with interested wo-

Mrs. Zehner made a splendid talk
to them on the Importance of work
and the greatness of the organiza-
ton. Delightful refreshments were
served by the hospitable hostess.
The whole landscape around this
home is suggestive of prosperity
and good cheer. In speaking of the
Harmony picnic one of the ladies
present said she supposed Harmony
was selected as the place of this an
nual gathering on account of its
name. But there is more than a
name in the Harmony community.
The visitors who were present at

pressed with the kindly faces and
amiable dispositions of the good
women of Harmony. 1t is a JOY to

Cant go Without Trousers.

New Psrplexities.

The farmers of the country are
on top, the very tip top. For one
time. the tiller of the soil is having
his day. But along with this meteor,
ic promotion, elevation to absolute
sovereignty, have come new and
perplexing problems. There are SO
many money-making crops that the
average farmer doesn't know where
to begin or which crop to make pre-
dominant.
Cotton and cotton seed yield such
Senormous returns of gold that he is
tempted to have an a~ll-cotton farm.
Then, the cereals r such a close
second to the staple that he is
tempted to make it an a-la-Wil-
Hanson farm, and finally, when his
thoughts turn to the price of beef,
pork, mules and horses, he wants to
be the lord of "a stock farm, with
cattle upon a thousand hills.
While the farmer is wrestling
with this many-horned dilemma, The
Advertiser, which seldom poses as
an adviser, offers this modicum of
advice: Make your farm a we'll
balanced, self-sustaining farm, by
plan ing some Of all instead of all
Of one.
Only through making their farm
self-sustaining will the tillers of the
soil be enabled to maintain their
sovereignty-absolute Independence
