kissing and Canning.


Maud Muller in bright disarray
Was canning cherries one June day.
Her cheeks were red as any rose,
And cherry stains were on her nose.
She stewed and stirred the juicy
fruit,
And cooked it just enough to suit.
Then John the farm hand saunter-
ed in
And pretty Maud essayedt to chin.
Nov john" said she in accents
bland,
Please help me get these cherries
canned.
Nov Just take hold andldo things

And screw the can lids down real
tight"

So Maud to keep from being burned
Held with her apron while John
turned.
Maud was so near and looked so
fair
John up and kissed her then and
there!
Maud did not scream or cry OIL

But swatted him with an iror

I'll brash," said he, and a fool
to boot,
To kiss a girl when she's canning

But the very next day when JohI

Maud looked at him with a bashfu

Folks.


old world but the one about which
everything should center is folks,
says Successful Farming.
The great industries that have
sprung up as by magic, the great
buildings that pierce the sky, the
vast acres that feed the world. the
ereat flocks and herds upon a
thousand hills are important but
only as they serve folks.
Your farm consists offields, crops
stock equipment, buildings and
folks. Which is of the greatest i'm
portance to you? On which do
YOU put the most thought?
In some cases the visitor will
note that a man has acquired vast
acres and his folks are slaves on
those acres.
Another has clean fields and fine
crops but his boys have bad hab-
its and his girls are running loose in
the world somewhere God alone
knows where.
He tended well everything but
his crop of folks.
His pride was perverted pride
Another farm is known far and
wide as the proud pOSSessor of pure
bred stock the finest of their
kind.
But his sons and daughters are
going with degenerate girls and
young men-scrub stock in the hu-
man scale-and this farmer has
never by word or advice or counsel
ever done a thing to help perpetu-
ate a better race of folks.
You can't control love affairs,
some will say as an excuse for
such conditions.
Love is a capriciOus rascal, yet
when the boy and the girl have
been taught from the earliest child
hood to admire the good and hate
the evil in folks they will grow up
with a power to choose more wise
ly than those who follow loves
charms without a thought of conse-
quences.
Many a farmer has fine barns,
hog houses and the most improved |
machinery everything that money
can buy to make farm wotk easy
and give prosperous appearance
to the farm.
Yet the homes, the dwelling
place of folks, is small.
The women tote water from a !
well, they wash in the back shed by
hand power, they climb the cellar
stairs every time they want to put
things in a cool place.
All the thought has been upon
things and animals
All the money has been spent
upon the comfort Of dumb beasts
that live today in luxury that they
may 90 to market tomorrow.
And what becomes Of the mar
ket money, is it spent in the inter-
est of the folks at the farm, or is it
in buying more acres that these
self same folks may have the more
work to do and the shackles forged
"a little tighter?
We believe in folks, first, last anC
all the time.
We believe that folks are worth.
of the first thought, the first dolla
the first effort.
Any surplus can be spent on tn
comforts of dumb beasts, in fixin
up the farm barns and its equiv
ment.

Just as sure as the heart is turn
ed toward folks in our own home
Just as sure will heaven come
down your souls to greet"
Says the Monroe County Appeal:
Talking about featuring good deeds,
the Horse Editor would like lot of
little stories of human interest for
use in this column from time to
time. Some true stories like this:
Not many years ago there lived at
Paris a kindly old man, but one
who was a poor financier. AS age
came upon him his possession grad
ually dwindled away until at last
he found himself penniless and in
debt. Going to a farmer out west
of town he told of his CirCum-
, stances and asked for the loan of
500 to pay a board bill. The
farmer let him have the
money and few days later receiv-
ed a quit-claim deed to piece of
land in Western Kansas. The bor-
rover frankly stated that it was
worthless and about to be sold for
taxes. The new owner thought no
more about it until a good season
brought a favorable crop year
later. Then came an offer of $3.50
for the land. 1t was accepted, and
the 500 cast upon the waters had
come back multiplied more than
six fold. What would you have
done, reader? The money was
legitlmately yours - you have real
lied it on a piece of worthless Sc
curity, and the original owner made
no claim to any part of it. This
farmer looked at it otherwise. That
old man owes me only 500, he
unused, and | want no more than is
morally mine. Thus reasoning. he
deducted his original loan and sent
the old man a check fE $3.50, the
balance. Such stories as this, ia
these days Of "shrewd fiRanciering,'
should be told. The honest farmer.
was Thos. A. MCGEE. next presiding
judge Of the Monroe comfy court.
There is great deal of newspaper
talk about abOlishing the Office of

that it could accomplish a great deal

Kindness on the Farm.

Kindness ought to be the rule
with all farm animals. Not simply
for the reason that it makes the an
.imal bad to be treated wrong. but
because no. person can do that and
not himself be made a little worse
than he was. Character is, made
up of little acts. Kindness builds a
good, clean, strong. true life And

OPPORTUNITIES CLOSE BY.

With the present rapid movement OF
population to the western states and
the quite complete occupatio Of the
choicest areas, the writer is convinced,
as are many others, that the young
man seeking new field would do well
to look over carefully opportunities in
the central and New England states,
particularly along the line of twenty to
thirty acre tracts, which may be work
ed intensively to garden truck, small
fruits and poultry. The relative value
Of such tracts, which may be had at
very reasonable prices. would depend
chiefly upon the workable character
and fertility Of the soil and nearness
to a market where the produce Of the
farm could be disposed Of at good
prices Many an easterner Is operat-
ing just such areas as these in the
manner indicated and is not only max
ing living foe himself and family, but

eral circulation published tn the section
