In another place in this is
sue there appears an article
from the pen of Prof. Shaw,
which sounds a note of
warning to the farmers of
Montana, regarding loose
and reckless methods in pre-
pairing for next years grain
crop. The old man, who
has long been looked upon
as the leader of the so-called
dry land farming program, is
putting onthe friction clutch,
so to speak. He cannot be
accused of pessinism, nor of
being a doubter, since he has
for long years been a consist
ent believer in and cham
pion of scientific farming in
the semi-arid West and has
never doubted it's success,
with the application of care
and intelligence. 1t is a sort
of "lest we forget" and in
our opinion is timely. Let
us not become intoxicated
with our great success this
year. Let us not allow our
remarkably fertile soil to be-
come a prey to fastening
ills, such as poor cultivation,
noxious weeds and too much
cropping of the same kind of
grain. This wonderful sec
ton of ours deserves the best
that is in US. We have no
inclination to preach to the
farmers. Too much of that
is being done by silk-gloved
journalists and. professors.
Most of the farmers know
more about what's what than
the whole pack of us. If
this little note, drawing the
attention of our farmers to
the Shaw article, simply re-
news the knowledge that
they have already gained,
we feel that we shall be re-
paid.

Eye Specialist Coming

1t is estimated that eye strain
causes more headache and ner-
vous trouble than all other
causes combined, and in many
cases can be permanently re-
lieved by properly fitted spec
tacles or eye glasses. If you

What America Has Gained Through
 This War.

The American Magazine has been offering prizes for the best letters en- titled What Our Country Will Gain Through the War" In the February issue, the prize-winning letters are published One of these letters fol- lows
 Average Bill Smith, Made in U. S.. A., in the early part of 1914 pulled down thirty a week for about six hours day genteel work. With this thirty, he and Missus Average are buying lot out in Easyhurst and a bungalow in Stylish Terrace.
 "Of course they just had to have a ear, and they bought little second hand roadster that costs. each month, including repairs, thirty of real mon ey; but of course that is almost as cheap as street cars, and think how much more convenient is splendid salve for the conscience in flush times
 "Of course an auto owner cant smoke anything less than ten-cent ci- gars, and Average Bill absolutely re quires a good beefsteak everyday. and that accounts for $500 every week of the fifty-two, while the fact that Bill works in a bank absolutely precludes the possibility of his wife's washing the dishes or doing the cooking The cook costs S4 and eats $5 more. so she depletes the Smith treasury $36 more every thirty days.
 War comes, Money is tight! No more easy loans Unimproved real estate is not eagerly sought for by banks as collateral and Bill get a letter from the Boss saying, The Di- rectors have ordered a twenty per cent reduction in salaries Now Bill has got to retrench
 Mrs. Bill gets out her kitchen apron and prepares meals that take the tired look from Bills face, and the whole family soon forget what indi- gestion feels like. Little Sister learns herself, and no one looks as kance, for everyone else is in the same boat
 Soon Bill finds that street ears run regularly and are most convenient. The saving lust is started. Bill and his three quarters find that, by letting slide this little luxury and that little trihle, they can add another ten dol lars every month to the savings de partment balance,
 The Impossible has happened. Bill Smith the Average American, has found that there's more joy in living within his income than ther ever was in splurging, and this is the greatest gain that our country can have from the war"

WATCH LII CROW.

In Phoenix, Ariz, before the Novem- Der election, all the liquor places put up a sign to this effect: This build ing will be for rent if the dry amend ment carries" After election the sa- loon men refused to give up their leases, some of them opening drug stores, some soft drink stands, some January 1. The day afterwards every baker and grocer in the city for the first time sold out his stock of bread and the meat markets sold out their meats. Last year the arrests for drunkenness iii Phoenix averaged 12 per day; on the day after the saloons closed, for the first time in it's his tory the police court had no drunks.
 Phoenix bankers also have a tale to tell. The day Arizona went "dry" the Valley bank, which suspended early in November, reorganized and opened up for business stronger than ever. The Citizens bank, established by local capitalists. opened after the saloons were voted out The Central bank, organized by eastern men after the election, filed articles of incorporation three days after the law went into ef- feet and now occupies one of the "empty buildings" A branch of the Anchor Trust company of Wichita Kan, was established after the state voted "dry." Watch Arizona grow" say Arizonians.

LIVING AND EXISTINNG

There is vast difference beween living and just existing. To really live, is worth while. To merely exist, is a bore and a nuisance to ones own self. Every one has it within his own power largely to determine whether he shall really live, or whether he shall only exist.
 To live, is to enjoy ones work ana take pleasure from the things around him. To merely exist, is to hate ones work and to dcspise the things about him. Whether one enjoys or hates his work depends largely upon his mental rondition Whether one talk eS pleasure from the things about him, or whether he despises them, depends largely upon the things themselves.
 Whether the things about one arc such as to cause pleasure or disgus, Is within the control of ones own self Tor he can change them to meet his own likes. Therefore, whether one shall really live-or whether he shall only eNist-is within the control of each one himself

Tackling a Big Job.
Kansas City Star (Ind.)


 Soberly the country is realizing it's problem of unemployment, and hope fully 1t Is going about the treatment of the problem. The President in In dlanapolis devoted time and construc- tive suggestion to it. Simultaneously big cities throughout the nation were considering their local shares in the problem and in its solution. Kansas City has taken official notice of the distress that the American people are no longer willing to ignore.
 With that great step taken, of na- tlon-wlde realization of a recurring disease the cure or prevention of it may be looked for. The American people are competent enough to organ lze against the haphazard results of casual and seasional employment, of overwork in one place and underwork In another, and of other similar eau Ses. Once aroused to the unhysterical facts in the case, they will commit themselves speedily to unhesterical treatment" of the thoughtless eau ses of unhappy effects.

DEMAND FOR SOBER WORKERS

In a recent number of the Technical World is contributed article entitled, The Worker Who Drinks Must Go" The editor in an introductory note thus comments:
 "Emperors, business men, social re- formers are all agreed upon one thing alcoholic drinks work positive harm. A single glass of beer lowers a mans efficiency per cent. Imag zine what strong \ inc, gin, or whisky will do. The up-to-date employer will not keep men who drink even in moderation;' the secretary of the navy will not all low them on our warships; every con- mander in the field today is leading a sober army. Ever ere the brains of the world recogl that alcoholic liquors weaken both muscle and mind power

Do You Continually Feel Slug
 gish, Disinterested?

If you do, it is probably caused by your liver. When the liver fails to perform it's functions properly, the system becomes clogged with poisonous matter, that weighs you down mentally and physically.
 The liver gets out of order very easily, and if neglected, chronic, trouble usually results. Don't delay if you feel badly. You knowingly lay yourself open to life long pain, when you al low yourself to continue in run down condition. Cure yourself quickly and harmlessly with the natural vegetable remedy, Liv- Ver-Lax. It has all the effect iveness, but not the effect of cal omel.

NEVADA COUNTY FARM FRS UNION COLUMN
':'':'''' By J. M. Thom as s''.:''ss''::''::'':''a NEVADA COUNTY FARMERS
 LEARNING TO DIVERSITY

To any one who keep up with farm conditions in Nevada County it is evident that our people are beginning to realize the importance of diversif- cation. The writer in talking with one farmer a few days ago learned that he had just sowed thirty bushels of oats as against a small patch last year. Last year this same man planted twenty acres in cotton This year he expects to plant seven acres. This farmer stated in our conversation that he had just read in some paper that Texas and Oklahoma were pre- pairing for a big cotton crop and it was his opinion that the present ad- vance in cotton prices would cause many farmer to plant heavily again but as for himself he did not propose to be fooled again. He would make his living at home. If all our people would take this mans view of the situation the cotton problem would be easy to solve. Too many will be tempted to plant large cotton crops again hoping cotton will take turn for the better but it should be re- membered hat it always turns in the speculator's favor.

Ogden, president of the Nevada County Farmers Union in forms us that the farmers of Morris local and Bluff Springs local are pre- pairing to do a cooperative business at each of the above named places. This looks like the right kind of CO., operation. These farmers will not an tag,onize other business enterprises but will do their own business by pool ing their money and thus get the pro- fits that otherswise go to merchant. Glendale local has fully demonstrated the wisdom of this kind of cooperation during the past year. About a dozen farmers with S30O.OO or S40O.O0 have done a very profitable business.
