The Value Of
Preparedness,

Preparedness is in the air and
everybody is talking about IT,
preparedness against war.
But there is another brand OF
preparedness that is of vital i'm
port to the American people, and
that is preparedness for prosper
ity.
There is probably no class OF
people in this country who should
be more alive to the possibilities
of commercial preparedness than
the farmer. Upon him will de-
volve the vast amount of supplies
demanded by the world when this
war ends. His will be the bur-
den of feeding the millions OF
mouths that will be hungering
for the products of the farm.
And his will be the pockets that
will sag with the weight of gold
that pays for these supplies.
If there is an acre OF tillable
ground in this section that has
not beeu contracted for 1t should
be promptly put under cultiva-
ton. 1t should be made to yield
its quota of the wealth that will
be waiting for some one to- pick
up.
Congress at last is aroused and
will take care of preparedness
against war, but the American
farmer is the man who must pre-
pare for the prosperity of peace.
Preparedness is in the air.
brother. Go to it-aud get 1t!

The Booster and
the Killer.

viz
Nearly every town has two
classes of citizens--the boosters
and the killers. All the world
loves the former, but even the
devil shuns the latter.
Be a booster!
The town booster is known BY
everybody, for he is always do
ing and saying something to
push his town and its people
along. He is the man who makes
the town. The killer is the one
who destroys it.
Be a booster!
The booster never looses any
thing by his boosting. He boosts
other people and other people
boost him, and through this COM
bination of boosting great things
are accomplished. 1t is only the
killer who falls of his own
weight, of his own words, OF his
own deeds.
Be a booster!
The booster is like a ray OF
sunshine on a cloudy day. He
brightens everything and every
body around him. His geniality.
his cheerfulness, his energy and
his good deeds breed hope in the
bosom of despair. His words
and his acts aid others and en-
noble himself. But the killer
only kills-just kills.
Be a booster!
This town has many boosters,
and you all know them, you ad-
mire them, you respect them.
And your respect is more preci-
GUS to the genuine booster than
is your gold. 1t is only the kill
er who stands alone, without
friends, without hope for the
future.
Be booster!
There may be killer or two
| in this town, but we hope not.
But if there are any we hope
they will cease killing and 60 to
boosting. There is no honor or
profit in killing, but there is
much to be gained through boost
ing.
Be booster!
We need the boosters-we need
more boosters. But we can ex-
ist handsomely without the killer,
for the killers principal diver
sion in life is to take a knock at
the town, at its people, at their
ways, and at everything and
everybody connected herewith
except the killer.
Be booster!
If there are any killers in this
town let's convert them, so we
can all be boosters. The booster
is of value to every Legitimate
thing with which he comes in
contact, while the killer is NOT
even of value to himself.
Heaven loves a booster-and
hell is full of killers.
Everv bodv boost!

No collection OF fairy tales IL CON-
plele without "Puss In Roots" aud it
is interesting to know that 1t has
amused the children of hundred gen.
erations. The various versions of the
story differ materially, however. 1t IS
believed that the Zanzibar version is
the original. There the man il un-
grateful to the clever cat and Is pun
ished by awaliing to find his prosperity
Il dream. In France. Italy aud India
the cat is swindler aud the Marquis
of Carrabas is his accompllce. In Rus
STA and Sicily "Puss In Bootsi' is a
moral story and the cat helps the man
from motives of gratitude. When
Cruikshank illustrated "Puss In Boots
he rcwrote it and introduced the moral
motive of gratitude in the cat. but the
American version does not point out
any motive. Why should the cat help
his master to title and riches? In our
story he is a weak fellow who does
nothing To help himself. and we feel
that the cat is throwing his energies
away on an idler.--St. Louis Globe
