The business situation is
improving, for which let us
all give a fervent thanksgiv-
ing. The copper industry in
Montana is taking on new
life and zest and as copper is
still king in this state and will
be until our great agricultu-
raj resources are developed,
the heavy copper production
will have good effect on all
other industries in the state.
The big copper mines in
Michigan are opening, too,
and steel production is going
on apace. The only unsatis-
factory condition today is
the railway situation, as we
see it. The railways seem
timid and sort Of half-heart-
ed. The canal seems to have
taken a lot Of pep out Of
the railroads and they refure
to take heart. The railways
are advised by inanciers to
develop their inland business
by building new feeders into
new and promising territory,
to offset the loss of cost trait
life, and this advice will no
doubt be needed in time.
But for the present ne very
great activity can be expect
ed. Yet in spite Of the rath-
er p~essimistic attitude Of the
railways there IS evidence Of
a change to better times.

LIFE ON A R NJ IS UNEVEN

Romance of farm success are very
prevalent in print these days-and some
of them are true. People do win. Oc-
~casionally there is to be found a man
who has conquered the liens in the path
of him who suckles at the dugs OF Moth
er Earth. These successes are not SC
frequent as some of cur writer friends
would lead US to think.
Farming is a mans game-and that
means that it is a game in which it is
easy to lose. In the near farm litera-
ture so popular just now, the great
mistake is made of trying to prove that
it is a mans game, and at the same
time one that can be successfully play
cd by experimenters, tenderfeet and
weaklings.
And after all, what is success? Is it
to become rich? Not many achieve
riches on the farm. Is it to live secure
", sanely, with no fear of loss of work
or of the wolf shifting at the door?
If the latter is the measure of success
the farm offers opportunity for it in
measure than any other life. But it
would be far better if those who laud
the idyllic life of the farm knew a little
more about it.
