Investigations show that the major.

paying out one-quarter or more OF
their entire earnings In rent. Take
paper and pencil and sit down and fig
ure out what this rent bill amounts to
In the course of a year; then see the
amount 1t comes to in ten years. You
Will be almost appalled, at the size
Of the amount. In most cases 1t Is
enough TO buy outright fine house

be made into real home.
But what has the renter to show for
this money at the end of ten years?
Nothing but big pile Of rent receipts.
Nothing that he can call really his
own after paying out enough money to
buy the house. He has no more right
to 1t than he day he moved in, and
may be turned out into the street any

not made.

ONE OF BEST INVESTMENTS
President Barrett Advocates Helping
Man Who Is Down, Whether
Member Of Union or Not.

To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union:
II more men had helped each other
over rough places since the world be-
gan. civilization and Christianity
would be much farther advanced than
1t Is today.
The obligation to help the man
who is down and out Is one of the
most sacred-and It isn't confined to
your fellow-member in the Farmers
Union. In the first place you don't
know when you may be in the same
fix yourself. and in need of assist.
ance. In the second. by helping to
put man on his feet you're saving
yourself the expense of having to
feed him or his family. So the
proposition cuts from the business as
well as the philanthropic end.
In this country of quick changes,
the man you give a lift to today may
tomorrow be In position to help you or
the organization. So It's good policy,
as well as a plain matter of duty.
don't think ever saw man
so far gone in meanness that l
wouldn't try my Lest to give him even
little ray Of lift. The man Oh the
woman who is cast out by society
with the cry Of "Unclean. Unclean!"
is the man and the woman who most
need help.
You are not going to soil your
hands by picking people up out of the
mire. You're much more likely to
soil your soul, and lose some good op.
portunity in life by failing to do 1t.
One Of the most beautiful features
about some Of the secret orders is
that they never desert member, nc
matter how far he has strayed from
the pathway. That ought to be the
motto Of every member of the
Farmers Union, from the biggest
leaders down to the newest joiners.
We have good deal Of that spirit
now In the organization. The more
We encourage 1t, the more we en-.
hance the prestige Of the order, and
live up to the principles upon which
1t is founded.

On Making Good"

A writer in an engineering maya
zine, discussing the principles of pat
ent equity, quotes the aphorism of the
theologian Paley. ''He only discovers
who proves and then adds: Utility
is the test OF truth The invention of
an inventor is comparable to play
o. writer. The invention OF a great
inventor is comparable to a play OF
Shakespeare's.'
No one is likely to gainsay the as
Sertion. The mere concept OF an in
vention, any poetic fancy or flash Of
intuition, may ripen into nothing.
There is nothing new-absolutely new.
Every great invention has been fore
Swallowed. 1t counts for nought that
Edison invented the perfectly OBJ
vious;" that Shakespeare took Ham
let from Kyd, who, in turn, had Dor
rowed the plot from a French novel
which was founded on the original
Scandinavian story. The single point
is that, in appropriating all available
materials for their work, Edison and
Shakespeare made good"
Anyone may dream. Most OF the
world does. 1t is Uttered with unhn-
ished work-the poets castles in Spain,
the artisans incomplete model, the
painters canvas only blazed, the novel
lists half-written romance, the mer-
chants day dream OF high emprise.
While these do not count, yet they are
worth while; the spirit OF endeavor is
in them at least. Perhaos in many
instances these inchoate things might
take orm and come to final reality If
back OF the creative impulse there
canned a spark OF the indomitable
energy OF Edison and Shakespeare.
