Won by merely wishing we could"
-Kipling.
Are you one of those people who
are forever saying, Il wish l had this
or that" 81 wish someone would die
and leave me ten thousand dollars, !"
Il wish, etc, etc.?
Myou are, did you ever realize lhSt
there Is such Il thing as the IMMORAL
itv of wishing?
Probably not.
But isn't there?
I think there is.
Indeed, / think wanting to have
things without paying for them in
coin of honest labor or sacrifice or
desert or some similar specie is one
of the greatest immoralities in the
world.
It is this attitude which stands be-
hind half of the sins and follies in the
calendar.
The thief, the seducer, the gambler
and a thousand others are products Of
the desire to have without paying
Then. too, over much wishing is
enervating
upon the character that riding all
the time and never using ones legs
as God meant them to be used would
have upon the body muscles.
OF course, there is more than one
kind of wishing.
chalant wish that says cheerfully, TT
would be fun to have one of those
touring cars to go rushing around the
country in" or wouldn't it be great
to live in a big house like that?"
And there is the discontented, un-
happy wish that says enviously, "Oh,
dear, 1 wish I had that automobile"
Il wish / had his money ''Why
can't I have a chance like that?"
The first kind of wishing is useless,
but harmless if not indulged in too
much. The second is both useless and
harmful
Wishing is only allowable when it
grows strong enough to become a. mo-
tive for an honest attempt at acquire
ment.
Wishing is like steam, useless and
sometimes dangerous when allowed to
escape, but capable of accomplishing
great things when harm essed.
Teach your children-and inciden-
tally yourself if you need it-not to
say or think II wish" too much.
Teach them. in more concrete terms
of course, that labor and contentm ent
are the two handmaidens of happi
ness and that neither likes the COM
pany of I wish.''

The capital for doing business is fur

The report referred to tells some in.
teresting stories Of how the societies
help the farmers. not only to buy
goods at lower prices. but also to dis
pose of their products at greater
profit. We quote two or three in
stances:
IAN illustration of how the small

Hawarden and District Farmers As
sociation (Flintshire). We got hold
of a market gardener the other day,
worte the Hon. Secretary recently.
He was going to buy ton Of seed

him at a6 (2916). We offered him

"A member Of our society brought
us sample Of blue peas, for which
he asked 30s. ($7.29) per coomb. We
informed him that he was not asking
full value, and gave him 3ss. ($S.o2)
per coomb. He informed us that a
loc'l man had bid him 2ss. $500, at
the same time stating that he was
offering more than the market value
AT Ipswich market, a certain mer-
chant bought 16 bushels Of seed from
farmer at 20s. ($4.s6) per bushel.
We heard of this, and to find out If the
merchant knew the value of the stuff,
we bid him 30s. ($7.2s) per bushel
This he would not accept. Had the
farmer been member Of our associa-
ton, and brought the seed direct to
us, we should have had no hesitation
in giving him 35s. ($s.B0) per bushel"
Such saving in this in buying and
such gain in selling must appeal to
any man, and we do not see why such
societies could not do as well for their
members in this country as they have
done in England. We know the Farm
ers' Union and other organizations
have done good work along this line
but a strictly business organization
with capital Of its own to work upon
and organized solely for business pur.
poses could do much that these larger
educational organizations cannot vel
do.

are only a small part of those engaged
in by these trading societies. They
