WHAT'S THE USE OF SIGH.
 ING?

Whats the use of signing when
 the world looks blue, Whats the use of crying if the
 moon don't drop for you; Whats the use Of complaining Even if it's raining? Somewhere there are roses
 smiling thru the dew. Whats the use of finding fault
 with everything, Harsh words are remembered by
 the pain they bring. Clouds may still be drifting. But they'll soon be shifting, And the swaying robin will be-
 gin to sing. Whats the use of growing old
 and worn and gray, Life is but the passing of fleet
 ing day; Love and youth together,
 Thru the stormy weather, Never slip the tether in life's
 golden May.

GEN. PROSPERITY

With apologies to James Whit
 comb Riley)
 Old General Prosperity's come to our town to stay; the local merchants all are glad, now trade has come their way; there was a time when money vanish ed from us like a fog; Enclosed find check, for which please send as per your catalog-" We had the same goods right at home; our prices, too, were right, but somehow no one understood, and no one saw the light; out-of- town concerns had methods that we didn't know about-the mail order firms'll git you. eff you don't watch out.
 Once we had a citizen who wasn't very wise; he kept the General Store, but was too proud to advertise. His groceries and dry .oods. and his eggs and but ter. too. his hardware and his boots and shoes were good, but no one knew; and so we spent our money where it didn't help a bit to make the town a better one; to make us proud of it; the big city got the profit, and we what were we about? The mail order firm'll git you, eff you don't watch out.
 This citizen at last woke up and advertised his goods, an all the others followed suit, and came out of the woods. an they helped their home town paper which had allus done it's share to boost the town and help to put it on the map somewhere. An the paper it helped them in turn, and people came to buy, an found that money spent at home makes old Depression fly, and unless this mutual spirit kinda hovers all about, the mail order tirm'll git you ef you don't watch out.

Dear Sir We arrived here

There is no snow here and has
not been much this winter. Peo.
pie have their blowing done.
There are no rocks here. We
went out to our farm and did
not see rock going nor coming,

beautiful country and we are all
we'll pleased.
Wages here on the farm are
from $35 to $40 the year around,
and about the first of April
there will be plenty of work. If
people want any information
concerning this country we will
be glad to furnish reference.
One man, whose land joins
ours, raised 10 acres of potatoes
last year and they brought him
$50 an acre and had 5000 pounds
left. They raise vegetables and

Better Farming

1t is a sure thing if the Ozarl
farmers expect to prosper in the
future they will have to adOp'
better methods of farming This
is strictly a stock, dairy and
poultry country, and in
order to make the business
profitable the food for the stock
we grow must be grown at
home. Cut out this high priced
hay and mill stuff that is being
shipped into this country that is
keeping the farmers pocket
book drained. Grow something
to fill silo to feed your stock
during the winter 1t is ac
knowledged by our best farmers
to be the very best stock food.
Keep your stock in the barn at
least during cold and stormy
weather. Take good care of
your manure and get it back on
the land.
If you want to get good results |
from the COW, horse and hen you |
must feed and take good care of |
them. The same thing will ap.
ply to the soil of this Ozark
country. Why not experiment
this spring in subsoiling a few
acres and see what it will do?
The average farmer plows
about the same depth each year,
three to six inches, and the
ground is never disturbed lower
than this. There is sure TO be a
crust form there that will not
let corn nor clover roots down,
neither will it let moisture down
during rainy seasons or up dur
ing dry time. If you plow six S
inches deep follow this with a '
plow and break this crust 5
to about 10 or II inches deep J
and see what difference it will
make between this and crops /
planted on ground plowed in the c
usual way. Better handle one c
,cre right than two acres half I
way, The proper prepa ration S
and cultivation OF your soil is G
'ery necessary if you expect I
good results. 1
All together for better farm. '
ng in the Ozarks. If Wright t
county could be farmed with as L
much care as Holland or Ger. I
many it would support 100000 a
people. {. II
