An Experiment Worth Watching.

Lack OF ORGANIZATION in reaching his custo.
mers and more successful competing In the
marketing OF his product is one OF the chief
handicaps of tho farmer. To supply the de-
ficiency is the object of every plan or measure
looking to the Improvement of farming as a
business. II is one OF the cardinal principles
in tho scheme for rural credits.
SO thoss Kansas farmers who have organ
lied the Federation of the Farmers and Con-
sumers' Produce association are on the right
Track as their bylaws indicate:
To enable the farmers TO sell their produce d.
reoty to the consumers without the aid of
Bary middemen; to foster it's members in every way
poss BILE; to buy and sell direct from producer TO
sumer and TO just railroad service and rates
and equal and just service on any and ali OF the
markets within territory.
While this is said to be the first organiza-
tion OF the kind In the country the principle is
not new. II Is the same, only more fully worked
out. that has underlain all the cooperative
creamery, fruit growers, grain storage and kin
dred schemes. There is reason why the
federation should not make go OF It provided
only II commands the necessary executive abil
ity. II has the advantage of a very practically
cooperative spirit on the part Of the consumer
and the parcel post facilities 10 help II along.
Here again the experiment will be worth
watching and II successful worth emulating.

Let Them Set the Example.

The National Federation OF Woman's clubs

recent gathering the recorded them

They brought out some excellent arguments to
show the folly and the baleful tendencies OF go
ing to the extremes in this matter OF wearing
everything that foolish fashion decrees. In
fnct n there was anything to be advanced along
that line they left nothing to be said.
But now, what of the deliverance? Can II
be successfully applied? Surely this organiza-
tion should have some influence. Admittedly
the test is a severe one, for girls and women
have shown themselves all but impervious to
criticism. intolerant OF advice and dumb to d.
rection in all matters OF dress. And yet there
should be some potency in these resolutions
at least the women can support their precepts
by their own examples. Let them be the first
TO discard well scorn the freak fashions
and attire themselves according to their ex-
pressed ideas OF modesty and common sense
and see II 1t does not help their influence.

NEVER TOO LATE.
Chrintinn Herald.

Christian Herald.
Say, my friend though you've known
dismal failure.
Do not idly stand mute with despair,
There's thought that will steadfastly
thrill you.
That viii brace like the keen mountain
air;
1t is this: Not a failure is final,
Nay, no failure Is final indeed,
And there's always the great inspiration:
It is never to late to succeed.
Till he hopelessly ceases all trying,
Until then, not a man is eer downed,
For there's always the chance a new
effort,
with abundant success will be crowned.
So rise far above the old failures,
Let the manllness in you be freed;
And undaunted, start new, ever knowing,
II is never too late to succeed.
Start anew with a spirit determinedl
Start anew and let nothing dismay!
From the jaws OF defeat wrest a vict'ryl
Many other strong souls have-you may!
Should the struggle seem hard and un-
II spur for the fray you should need.
Grit your teeth as you voice the great
slogan:
1t is never too late to succeed!
