Make Farm Life Worth While,

The question, why the boys and
girls leave the farm, continues to be
live one. Nearly as many reme-
dies to stop the exodus have been
suggested as there are boys and girls
on the farms. Like the poor, the
subject is one that is always with us.
Unattractive surroundings may have
something to do with the desire to
leave the country, but that is not al
together the reason that boys want to
come to the city. 1t is undoubtedly
true that many boys and girls come
to the city because they find it to
their advantage to make the change.
Everyone has right to cast his lot
wherever he believes he can get the
best and most out of life for himself.
There is a great per cent of boys who
would stay on the farm if it were to
their interest to do so, but they must
be made to see more profit in farm
operations, more pleasure and more
social life, better schools and educa-
tional opportunities. Agriculture
must be made more interesting to
them, and this car only be done
through the adoption OF scientific
methods on the farm.

green as they do so rapidly here in
Missouri, land of bluegrass. While
such good prices prevail sell the
stock that is ready, and get rid OF
the "star boarders" that you may
have kept too long, but keep the
good ones that will increase their
kind and bring you coupons to clip.
The wheat crop is made, and
while the thresher has not yet told its
tale it is certain that the yield will
mount far into the millions of bushels.
Save the straw. 1t will prove valu-
able as feed and will 20 far toward
taking the place of oats and timothy.
Clover has been saved in the best
shape. Many fields made record
yields and the quality is of the best.
Alfalfa fields are giving abundant har-
vests.
Now for the forage crops, for
which there is yet time, there need
be no serious shortage of feed, even
with further lack OF rainfall.
Sorghum, cowpeas, Kafr and milo
maize are timely crops. Wheat
ground or ground where oats failed
may, unless very dry and hard, be
prohtably seeded to cowpeas. New
Era or Whipporwill, or even mixed
peas, may do we'll. About one and
one-fourth bushels per acre of Whip
porwill or one bushel of New Era
should be drilled in with wheat
drill, leaving all the holes open. Set
ting the drill to SOW five pecks of
oats is about right for New Era,
while little more should be figured
on for the "Whips" as the seed are
larger. Broadcasting is not to be ad-
vised. Too many seed are lost and
the expense is too great. as by this
method seeding must be heavier.
Sorghum, Kafr and milo are all
dry weather crops. When used for
forage, common practice is to put
in the seed-about one bushel per
acre-by using wheat drill and leav-
ing all holes open. Where broad
cast twice the amount of seed should
be used.
With the courage and resourceful-
ness so characteristic of Missouri
farmers, work to meet any emergency
will 90 right along. Then if rain
comes soon there will be bumper
crop CT corn. II dry weather follows
there will be no disastrous failure.

ADVANCEMENT.
BY JAMES A. EDCERTON

Nothing is exactly like anything that
has been before. Life progresses by
embodiment, development evolution.
Thus all things are forever new. They
include the old, yet are more than the
old. There is infinite variety. Each
moment has its own revelation. Each
presents in turn something new and
strange. some novel beauty. some
phase Of truth never seen before. All
Of this slept in the germ of the past
ready to unfold into life and NANTES
tation under the broodings of prog
ress.
There is no loss. Form and func
ton change, but being goes on. The
past is ever included in the present
ALI Of its results are here All Of the
record is kept in the book Of life. Not
blade of grass passes unmarked.
Every hair of the head Is numbered.
There is an eternal conservation Of all
the things that are. Appearances come
and go like the clouds Of the sky, but
the sun shines on forever. Nothing
that is can ever cease to be. Its shells
or manifestations may change, but the
essence is immortal. No experience
can ever really be forgotten. The uni
verse knows no such thing as loss.
Life is continuous. It is unity. In
that unity is never exhausted variety.
Day by day presents some new phase
of the one life. All things that are
hold relation to all things that ever
have been, to all things that ever viii
be. The loom Of life goes on weaving.
and the cloth Of gold it produces is
continuous and seamless. In 1t are an
infinite number Of threads. No one
thread Is like another all in all. Each
is distinct from the others, and yet all
go to make up the one texture. Each
thread may be compared to an indi
vidual life. On they 60, now over, now
under, this moment visible from the
upper side, the next moment from that
beneath. But no thread ever ceases
New colors are constantly appearing.
new ombinations are ever made. but
It Is ever the same cloth. made up from
che same individual lives. So the warn
and wool of time go on to eternity.
We can never be bound to the old.
The relative statement Of yesterday
does not answer for today. We see
the truth In a new way and must tell
Of 1t in a new language. The truth
has not changed. but we have changed
in our larger consciousness Of the truth.
He who ties himself to the old will
stand still In the race Of life. II he
would ever 90 forward to his divine
destiny he must be free. He cannot
weigh himself down with ball and
chain forged IN some past aee.
The past Is our teacher. not our ".

PLAYING THE GAME.
BY JAMES A. EDcERroN

| ANO Ank OAFJ6s
There are two kinds of people-thost
who play square game and those
who stack the cards.
Every game must have rules and 9
code Of honor. the game of life among
J the rest.
The man who does not play accord
ing to the rules, who violates the code
Of honor, is an outcast If discovered.
And he is always in danger of being
discovered Sooner or later somebody
with real eyes in his head will watch
the cheater's game. Discovery will
mean disgrace and the tumbling of the
sharp's house of cards.
What kind of game do you plays
straight or crooked game?
II a crooked one what do you expect
to gain by 1t? Money? What is mon.
ey compared to peace Of mind and sell
respect?
Moreover the ingenuity required to
cheat will almost invariably bring in
more money II applied to improving
ones game along straight and legiti.
mate lines.
After all, the crook is a coward. He
is afraid to meet other men on an
equal footing. He is afraid to com.
pete.
Any man Of real spirit and manly
pride could be ashamed to confess
that he fears to engage other men on
equal terms and to match his ability
against theirs. Yet the crook makes
exactly that confession by resorting to
unfair methods.
Get in the game and play 1t straight.
Be too good sport to admit you
can't meet Others on equal terms.
There are many ways to play a
crooked game. A corporation that OBJ
tains special privileges resorts to the
same mean advantage as the gambler
who stacks the cards.
The merchant who misrepresents his
goods Is morally on par with the con-
fdence man who sells gold brick.
A cheat on large scale is just as
contemplate as cheat on a small
scale, and he is more Of criminal be-
cause he Injuries more innocent people.
Yet men who would not think Of
cheating at cards. golf or baseball do
cheat in this larger and more injurious
way.
It Is time that we placed the code Of
ethics in the business world on at least
as high plane as it is in sports.

FEDERAL BUILDING FOR
BLACHFOOT TO BE URGED
Citizens of B;aCkfoot Think Now is
the Time for Uncle Sam to Build a
Federal Building in the Grove City.

Blackfoot has entered her applica-
ton to Uncle Sam for Federal build
ing in which to house the land Office,
the post office and whatever other
federal offices may be needed for this
section
1t generally takes a number of
years for town to accomplish the
task of securing this kind of build
ing, and many citizens are emphatic
in their decision that the time has
come when Blackfoot should be work
ing on the meter.
1t is one of the rules of Uncle Sam
that spacious grounds must be fur
nished SO there shall be nothing built
up adjoining. There must be open
space on all sides of q federal build
ing, and on this account it is desir-
able to have at least quarter of a
block for the purpose.

wants to have any Of these freak dow-

nations are the easiest to color-white
ones, Of course. Put their stems In a
glass filled with ink. Their stems are
soft, and In a short while the larger
veins in their petals are filled with the
ink. Don't let them absorb too much
color. They are prettier with just so
much. Then remove them and put
them In a vase of salt water. "-Phila'

Advertised goods are not

merous arrests, so on the 9th day OF
September, 1911, when his employe
was arrested and charged with the
crime Of engaging In the business of
