Taking a Day Off,

Some farmers make the mistake
of sticking too close to their job.
When a man seldom gets off his
own farm or outside of his own
community his vision is likely to
become somewhat narrowed He
too frequently gets into a rut. and
gets so busy working that he for
gets to plan.
An occasional trip away from
home on business or pleasure will
pay any farmer. There are frequent
farmers meetings of statewide in
terest that it will pay him to at
tend. BY doing so he gets acquaint-
ed with the best farmers from all
over the state. He is lifted out OF
the narrow round of chores and
field work. He comes home full of
new ideas, alive with a new enthu-
siasm. Everything looks different
to him, and he takes up his duties
in a new spirit that means better
work and more effective manage
ment. Try it and see if it doesn't
prove true in your own case.

More well to do farmers than any

with clover and alfalfa, enough

There's a Better Time Coming.

The drouth of 1918 has passed
into history, with its blighted crops
and blasted hopes and disappointed
men and women. Rarely has there
been a season of more promise than
the forecast of bumper crops at
the beginning of the present sum-
mer. Early estimates showed a
tremendous wheat yield, while the
outlook for corn and other cereals
was every bit as encouraging. Fruit
also promised bounteous return.
Just at the time when rain should
have come to fulfill these pledges
of a profitable harvest, the fountains
of nature suddenly dried up and
scorching sun and burning wind
turned the earth from green to
brown. Cereals we're blighted; ap.
Piles and other tree fruits were
stunted on the trees, and a period
of discouragement set in for the
growers of grain and fruit that has
just been broken by heavy rainfalls
throughout the entire Southwest
Farmers have passed through one
of the worst drouths in their eXpe'
rience but they should not be dis
coura9ed. for there will be other
years when nature will blossom
like a rose and the earth will re-
spond literally to the efforts of the
husbandman. Now is the time fol
every man to take heart and dig in
on his work and make his plans fol
next year so that it will be one of
the biggest and best years of all hi;
life. Crying over split milk never
brought a drop of it back. The
losses of this year must be recoup.
ed by extra eXertions next year
and now is the time to begin OF
next years work. A discouraged
farmer will never lift the mort
gage. It's only the man who has
hope and faith, combined with in
dustry and ability, who gets there
in the end.-Missouri and Kansas

in ten years the high cost of living
to meat eating families will be
doubled. He says the cause of it is
the slaughter of young cows for
beef purposes. There must be
more beef cattle raised. There are

Mr., ELLIOTT
ON HIS RETIRING FROM PREsI-
DENCY OF NORTHERN PA
CIFIC RAILROAD.

The newspapers have asked me
many questions in the last few weeks
about the New Haven road and the
New England railroad situation;
whether was to leave the Northern
Pasific and associate myself with the,
New England lines; If SO, when and
why; and what I thought about the
situation.
These questions are natural and
proper in these days when the head
of quasi-public corporation is sort
of quasi-public servant. And the
people through whom and with whom
he is to work are entitled to know
about the man and his ideas.
Most of the questions have been
unable to answer, and I cannot an
.swer all of them now; but will try
to answer some. "-
The directors of the New Haven
system have complimented me by
asking me to become the chief exec
utive officer, and I have accepted, to
take effect September 1.
realize full we'll the burdens and
responsibilities that must be carried
by any railroad executive in these
days of complex relations between
the government-nation state and
municipal-the public that must be
served safely and reasonably-the
owners and employees who must re-
ceive fair treatment and compensa-
ton for their investment and labor
in their effort to produce the service
the public demands-the press that
is such a powerful influence in ad-
vancing the welfare of the country
by creating a sound public opinion.
All must work together to produce
those results which everyone desires.

of the New Haven road, and its as
sociated lines, serving as they do a
thickly populated part of the United

KIND OF HOUSES
NEEDED IN JAMESTOWN
Attractive Bungalow Being Built on
College Hill.

The new semi-bungalow residence
being built on College Hill, adjoining
the presidents house, is going to be
an attractive dwelling, just the kind
that is badly needed in Jamestown.
Houses Of this type present different
architectural appearance from the
plain rooted or square topped house.
The college bungalow referred to
will have seven rooms. The first
story will be of brick and the upper
part stucco. The rooms comprise a
living room, 2Sx13.6, dining room
15x13.6, den 12x12, with outside
sleeping room, and a kitchen. There
are three chambers and a bath up
stairs, and an expanded hall which
can be used as sewing room. Hard
wood finish down stairs. with hard
wood floors; upstairs finish pine,
painted white.
Books of plans for inexpensive
cottages and semt-bungalows Of this
description can be had from many
different sources, and anyone seek
ing information in regard to such
houses, by inquiring of DR.. B. H.
Kroeze of jamestown College will
receive addresses and other informa-
ton of value.
Houses of the above type, it ts
stated can be built in jamestown,
with the same finish and in attractive
architectural designs for about 3d.
500. This includes furnace for heat
ing. In most Of the towns of the
state the new dwellings going up are
not OF the latest architectural de-
signs especially the smaller and mod
crate priced houses. In one or two
OF the towns in the western part of
the state more attention is being paid
to the outside appearance Of the new
houses than in the older towns Of the
state. It is also stated that cottages,
bungalows and houses with good style
in their appearance can be built for
less than o per cent additional over
the cost Of plain barn-like houses. #
