Make your Start
This Year

The sooner you plan and make the
actual start at stock raising, the SOON
er you will begin to realize the most
profits from your farm.
Aside from the necessities for your
own table which stock wi produce,
there are two other very important
features to consider.
1st.-Carefully selected stock prop.
erly cared for is a money-maker. Beef
and pork prices are high and are like
ly to continue high.
2nd.-No matter how rich your land
may be, it can't stand constant drain
ing with re-fertilizing and there's 40
more efficient or economical method Of
fertilizing than to have a good herd
Of stock.
We have had considerable expert
fence in helping farmers to work out
details Of barn plans. silo plans, stock
shed plans and other improvements es'
pecial'y including machine sheds.
That experience is yours without
cost or obligation.
Next time you come to town, drop
in to get warm and let us have a little
talk about these important matters.

What Novel Readers Like.

That old question whether the poor
prefer to read stories about them
selves rather than about the rich has
been revived In England and discuss
ed by serial writer's. Some believe
that most readers. whether poor or
rich, prefer novels dealing with q
class different from their own. and
some maintain that the majority OF
readers are more interested in their
own class Nobody knows. But some
thing undoubtedly depends upon the
novelist himself. Dickens had no dif.
ficulty In interesting everybody In
the poor. Thackeray made the we'll
to-do and the rich interesting. So does
Mrs. Wharton. And innumerable
others.
On the other hand. Jack London.
Kaufman, James Oppenheim and pos
sibly two or three others have sketch
ed wonderful pictures of lowly and
obscure lives. The great American
novel," which may have been written,
but is still awaiting publication, will
deal neither with the rich nor with
the poor exclusively. nor with the mid
die class, but with all sorts and con.
ditions Of men. 1t will be a novel of
democracy--neither aristocratic nor
proletarian.

side him swung the huge machine
which represented life Of power and
luxury: but he no longer saw It It
called to him with many creak and
quiet snap-sounds to start his blood
and fire his eye weekday, day
ago. But he was deaf to this music
now; the call went unheeded: the fu-
ture had no further meaning for him.
nor did he know or think whether he
sat In light or In darkness; whether
the woods were silent about him. or
painting with life and sound. His
demon had gripped him again and the
final battle was on. There would new

self to be, there were limits even to
his capacity for endurance. He could
sustain no further conflict. How then
would 1t end? He never had doubt
himself! Yet he sat there.
Around him in the forest. the night
owls screeched and innumerable small
things without a name, skurried from
lair to lair.
He heard them not.
Above, the moon rode, f1ecking the
deepest shadows with the silver from
her halfturned urn, but none OF the
soft and healing drops fell upon him.
Nature was no longer goddess. but
an avenger; light a revealer, not q
solace. Darkness the only boon.
Nor had time a meaning. From
early eve to early morn he sat there
and knew not II 1t were one hour or
twelve. Earth was his no longer. He
reused, when the sun made everything
light about him, but he did not think
about 1t. He rose. but was not con-
scious that he rose. He unlocked the
door and stepped out into the forest;
but he could never remember doing
this. He only knew later, that he had
been In the woods and now was In his
room at the hotel; all the rest was
phantasmagoria, agony and defeat.
He had crossed the Rubicon of this

been unconscious OF the passage.

BETTER THAN EVER.

w. /, SWANS big, popular,
tent attraction is here this week
on their fifth annual engagement
in Hickman. This is one Of the
few attractions that maintains a
high standard at all times. The
shows are even better this year
than last and this is saying
good deal for it. The average
show manager goes after the cash
any way to get it-but Mr..
SWANS theory is that If yon
give folks a good show the fl
nances will take care of them
selves. He has also made his
prices this time To conform TO
