COMPETITION.

If you were to sell your farm and
move to town with the idea of invest
ing your money in some active busi-
ness enterprise which would require
your personal supervision and the ex-
ercise of your alents, just where
would you put your money? Only
a little investigation would show you
that every field of business activity
is already occupied. You would have
to invent some new method Of invest
ing and getting returns from your
money or you would have to enter in
tc competition with others already in
The field and share in their profits.
For a great many years it has been
said and believed that competition
is the life of trade" but men are
growing to believe. more and more,
that cooperation is the real vital
principal in any mercantile operation.
Every new merchant who enters the
grocery or dry goods business must
nave a share of that business which
is taken from other merchants pre-
Fiously in the field, or he must have
located in rapidly growing communi
ty where the business is on the in
crease, or he must fail.
On the farm, matters are different

times oftener than that. l find some
farmer wondering why the boy wants
to leave the farm. Why wonder?
Especially when we know that the
boy knows that his father really
wants to do the same thing as soon
as he has saved up enough money to
do it In the way that he wants to. Is
1t not fact that too many of US by
our daily lives and examples are
teaching him the the farm Is only a
place on which to work hard. and to
live harder? And for what? To make
enough money to move into town af-
ter you are too old to enjoy things,
and when your spending muscles
.ohaveS been paralyz6d by years of in
action and disuse. If your daily lives
are along those lines. do not be sur
prised if your boy beats you into
town by several years. And it may
be that it will require years of tramp
ing over the crippling pavements Of
the city before he realizes that, aftel
ali, the plowed ground was easier OF
his eOrhs and conscienee-and far bet
ter for his comfort, It is up to u
to keep the boy on the farm. How

CABBAGE JOINS RANKS OF
DIeESTIBLE VEGETABLES

Citizens of Great Bend and vicinity
who find cabbage indigestible need
no longer fear the vegetable. A
discovery made by the department of
home economics at the University of
Kansas robs cabbage of all its dan
gerous properties and places it among
the most palatable foods.
The secret lies all. inthe cooking.
Glasses under DR.. Edna Day found
that when the cabbage is removed i'm
mediately from the water in which
@ it is cooked it does not become
brown or indigestible. This is be-
cause the vegetable throws off de-
composition products while boiling
and if taken from the liquid at once
does not absorb them again.

Look out for hog cholera and swim
plague. Cleanliness about the foot

vent these troubles.
The straw pile can be used for bet

Relatively, the number Of farmers

the number of n-producers. This
makes il impossible for the farmer

are now in the field and who think
they have severe competition. There
