HARD TIMES TO FIGURE OUT
With Nobody Making Any Money Vaca-
ZIONIST Could Not Understand
Who Had Got His.

We called on a friend at his office.
Wednesday morning. says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. The reason We
called was that he had been on a va
cation, and We wanted to ask him IL
he had had good time and to tell
him how We had missed him. But as
we were ushered in, he didn't look
up from his work. He just went on
scribbling, waved us TO a chair. and
said:
Now, don't distrust me any more
than you can help. Call me a liar. but
don't rub il in"
What DO you mean" We asked
Then he looked up. and said:
oh. | thought it was my wife
That's what | was going TO say TO her.
Ill tell you how it Is. The summer
hotelkeepers say they amt making
any money this year. The railroads
say they are running at loss. Every
public servant is whining about hard
times-hasn't been able to make a
cent. See? Well, spent $3.50 in the
last ten days. and I'm trying to figure
out how | could have spent that much
for board and bathing suits"

NEIGHB0RS AID EACH OTHER
COOPERATION Should Include Ways and
Means Of Getting More Profits
From the Farm.

II Is worth a great deal to have
neighbors who are willing to exchange
hopeful greetings and when assistance
and encouragement are needed to help
cheerfully. This Is a test of good citi.
zenship and II Is an indication of a
desirable community In which to To-
cate.
No community can be progressive
and the individual members of So
! ciety be contented and happy without
a neighborly feeling Of mutual help
and cooperative enterprise. Country
life Is different from city life In that
there Is an Independent sentiment ex.
listing in the country because In so
FAR as food production is concerned
each can take care Of himself better
than the town man, who is more de-
pendent upon others. Yet In the rural
community the prosperity. health and
social intercourse Of all are mutually
interviewer so closely that cooperation
Is essential. Usually there Is more
visiting. more personal interest, more
obligation resting upon country people
than upon those who live In cities and
towns. Rural people are neighborly.
not because It is profitable, but be-
cause 1t seems a duty. This is COM
mendable, but cooperation should in.
clude ways and means of getting more
profits from the farm. Cooperative
selling Is very essential.
There are many ways in which the
cost Of production may be reduced by
cooperation. Just as members of the
corporations and partnership firms
must associate themselves together
and each give up certain points Of In.
dividuality, SO should organizations
Of farmers form such associations and
combine their resources in money and
intellect to surmount difficulties in
producing and selling their products.
In buying and selling much is gained
in cooperative enterprise, and from
this sentiment the community Is ele-
waited In better schools, better roads |
and a general social and moral tone
which is sure to follow.

USE OF SIL0S BY DAIRYMEN
Greatest Argument In Favor Of EnsiI.
age 10 In cheapness Of Pro-
duction Of Feed Per Ton.

Silage must be fed In conjunction
with other feeds. dry feed and grain.
II therefore the farmer is dairyman,
or owns a quantity Of live stock, or is
raising beef cattle for market, he
should have both silage and hay on
his farm. The use of the silo with
owners OF dairy cattle has lately in
creased enormously. It Is an impor.
tant adjunct to the general feeding. It
has been clearly demonstrated that
silage promotes milk flow, but the
greatest argument in favor of its use
lies In the cheapness Of production
per ton. and the ability to store and
secure palatable. nutritious food under
weather that might seriously injure
hay or dry fodder.
