FARM FACTS.

Only hard work receives a rel
compense.
Cooperation is the farmers sal.
vation.
The secret of success is constancy
Of purposes
Power is permanent when 1t is a
product of principle.
One of the greatest problems OF
civilization is to eliminate the para
site.
Tomorrow may never come but
the wise farmer plans for 1t just the
same.
No man ever climbed the ladder
of success with his hands in his
pockets.
Progress is not only desirable and
necessary but 1t is natural and in
evitable.
Hands that work and brains that
think are the silent partners Of sue
cessful farming.
The person who expects some
thing for nothing usually harvests
a good crop of expectations.
Don't forget good health when
you take an inventory Of your as
sets; its value outranks all others.
Farm products are increased in
value by getting them where needed
at the proper time. Goods roads in
crease values.
The greatest need of the Kansas
farmer is cheap money and better
methods. The city man
should stand behind the farmer In
'tead of standing in front Of him.
Good roads annihilate distance
ind cancel space. They bring the
armer nearer the market and place

THE SUGAR TARTFF.

4 Ast 3 e {
Some Of the politicians seem to
think II Il . crime to say good
word about the beet sugar industry
or to tell the whole truth about the
sugar tariff.
The raising Of sugar beets is one
Of the important industries In vest
ern Kansas.
The sugar trust" the big refin-
ers, favor taking off the tariff on
sugar.
During the lastiten years, or since
beet sugar became a factor, the
price Of sugar to the consumer has
been decreased. On practically ev-
cry other commodity the price has
increased. The removal of the tar
Iff on sugar is merely an invitation
to the sugar trust to get its raw
product cheaper, hold up the price |
% the consumers and let the sugar
beet raisers go to smash. Gid the
story as you wish, that is all there
