those bout us. For it Is a fact that most people are not as self fish as we sometimes try to bell- eve. There are, of course, some people woo will stand out against any plan fnr makia9 a better neighborhood; but once some per- son is found witiing to make the hard effort of starting the work, the great majority vii! readily join in.
 Co-operation@s the watchword of the time. Farmers are just beginning to repeat and under stand it. There is no way 1t can be put into action more easily and effectively than in the work ing together of neighbors for the improvement ofatheir surroud- ings. There are hunered chances to make almost every neighborhood a better and more desirable place in which to live. Look about you and see if you caunot see some such w a y. T h n go and talk to y O u r neighbors a b bout 1t and see if they will not joinkin and help you. Talk to the most enter prising and unselfsh ones first; then as you gain the force of numbers and enthusiasm, go af- ter those less likely to help
 In most cases you will succeed, and generally you will find that your neigbbors are better people than you thought.
 Most of us awould be glad to help us. We don't see Show we can do 1t, neither do they. If we could all get really acquiant- ed once, it9 would be much easier. So, why not take the.4 trouble to introduce that hidden side of yourself to your: neighbors, and let them see what a chance there is for all of you to be useful to each other. Progressive Farmer

TIE N08LEST WOMAN

San Angelo Standard Who was or is the greatest woman in all history? Two hundred teach CTS answered the question and w ith enthusiasm and unimity the judges awarded the prizes to the one who made this reply: The wife of the farmer of moderate means who does her own cooking, washing, irooing, sewing, brings up family of boys and girls to be useful members of society and finds time for intellectual inn provement.
 Dallas News; Judged by that standard there are great women in every little community in America. There are literally millions:of women who give their minds and hearts and bodies to the office of housewife and house. mother. They..make homes for others at the.ssexpense of their own strength and they give love and loyalty and faith which often are illv requited. T h e y sur render their youth and their ear ly ideals in exchange, for life's rugged experiences, and to their everlasting credit be it said that they go singing down the way. It is these farm mothers who have given this nation its bone and sinew, who have implanted virtue Tn the foundation of its institutions and set;victory upon its banners of war.
 But the time has passed in most parts of this country when ii should no longer be necessary for the farm wife to sacrifice her. self upon her family's altar.
 There is no longer any excuse I,ior putting upon her brave but fragile shoulders theheavy labol

He Is 7 ginning to understand whether 1t is not about time 10 call halt on the Republican practice of taxing the coat off his hack and threatening him with the loss of his shirt and his socks if he does not submit.
 All through the present tariff law. passed by Republican congress and endorsed by Republican President as THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER PASSED, are to be found discrimina- tions. the higher duty on the cheaper article. the lower on the shoulders of those least able to bear 1t the great CT burden of the protective system. Here are some illustrations:
 The cheapest wool blankets bear a duty of 165.%2 per cent; the dearest. 104 .65 per cent.
 Flannels. not more than 40 cents a pound. are taxed at 14367 per cent over 70 cents a pound. 7s37 per cent

WHAT YOU GAN DO FOR YOUR NeICAB0R
 AND THEY FOR YOU

It is true in the final analysis that every man must work out his own salvation, that mans prosperity and the satisfaction he gets out of life depends chiefly upon the way he manages h s own affairs. It is equally true, however, that no man by himself can do all that is necessary to make all his surroundings agree able. No man can live a natural healthy Tiff e without being in more or less intimate association with his neighbors, or without having some interest in thei raff- airs and conceding to them some rightful interest in his.
 The individual farmer cannot insure himself good roads, good schools, good church, proper places of entertainment for his family, an atmosphere of aspi- ration n d progress. Yet all these things are part of life, 1t is necessary that the farmer have them if he is to live as he should. These things can only com e through cooperative efforts of the whole naighborhood.
 We do not mean that it is nec- essary for every member of a community to join in bringing about improvement along any of these lines that is too much to expect, but that they arc matters for the community. and not the individual, to handle. A few progressive, earnest m e n or women can interest enough of in any work of neighborhood bet torment to make it successful: but these neighbors must be ,.in- terested before the work is made a success. Hence, we are mak- ing this appeal to those of our readers who believe that their communities should be made bet ter places in which to live and who t h n k that they see ways in which this couuld be done. To them the lead ership in this work belongs. It may prove hart, continuous, often disapoint- ing work, but it need never be unavailing. It is tendency with all of us to forget what We owe our neighbors and how close ly our interests and theirs are re lated. We cannot make our neighbors prosperous, or happy, or virtuous. and they cannot de these things for us; but we can help them and they can help us Most of us need to be ashamed that we have helped So little an6 we have profited so little by thu aid we might have had iron.

Day Set for Marrianes

Visitors to the quaint old city o.
Plougastel, in Brittany, are strucl;
with the fact that all marriages are
Eolemnized in a single day of the
year. Why this unusual custom pre-.
vaf;s Is easily explained. The men
are all fishermen. many of them going
as far as the Newfoundland banks
and are at home only during q few
months in the winter. One day in
early February is set apart for the
weddings. Little counting is done. but
much haggling over. the dowry of the
girls. They have to bring a certain
quantity OF linen, chickens, pigs, and
vegetables. Frequently a match is
broken off because father refuses to
add sack Of potatoes to the dowEy,
On the day set the inhabitants Of the
entire region go to Plaugastel The
whole population goes to CHURCH to
hear mass, to take communion. Often
so or more couples are united on the
same day. Bride and bridegroom dc
not walk together until the ceremony
has been completed.
