THE PROSPEROUS FARMER

The financial reviews Of the last
few days have said that American
business is now at its peak Load
That is, factories, mills and
mines arc working to the extent Of
their capacity, with orders piling
up day by day. When the bust
ness revival, which is now so
general, first appeared, it was in
spots, and it was not until time
had passed that one industry
stimulated another. In all this
discussion much has been said
about the factories and the stock
markets, the banks and the mer-
camille business, but COMPARE
lively little about the farm. A
country cannot export hundreds
Of millions of dollars worth of
war munitions without enjoying
at the same thine a stimulus thru
out all branches OF labor. Grain
exports have been heavy, and the
promise of high prices has ener-
gized the producer. Eventually
a large percentage of the peak
load of prosperity is passed ON
to the tiller of the soil, in one way
or another. An enliVened in
dustry makes a demand for more
workers. Active labor markets
are the life of a community, and
the laborer employed is neces-
sarily a more wiling and heavier
consumer of food than the labor
er idle.
No finer proof of the prosperi-
ty of the small farmer may be
had than that supplied by an oc-
casional leisurely journey thru
any of the rural counties. The
relation of prosperity in industry
to the demand for food is evident
But the relation of the demand fOI
foOd-in other words its price-tC
the tilling of the soil is not always
so plain, but i'm the case of many
farmers it exists now to his gain
As the demand for food increases
the growing OF food on land anC
under circumstance which or
inarily would not Justify agricul-
ture becomes profitable, and il
requires only a few seasons fOI
the thrifty farmer to transform
his bog or stump land into mar
ket garden fields, and the produc,
thereof into a more cOmfOrtabl,
home, more stock, and, eventual
~, an automobile.

DRIVE ON BACDAD

London, Dec. 23.-On the Tigris the
British, after a long period of quiet,
have recently pushed forward close to
Kut-El-Amara on the south and are
continuing to attack the Turkish
forces in that region, evidently in the
hope of resuming their long delayed
march toward Bagdad.
Now another field of activity is de-
handing attention with the announce.
ment from London that British forces
have captured Ell Arish, in Egypt, on
the Mediterranean, ninety miles east
Of the SueZ canal.
Little has been heard from the
Egyptian operations for long time,
but the British are known to have
been making somewhat elaborate
preparations to protect the canal re-
gions from further incursions such as
that of last summer, and their de-
fensive lines have been pushed far
out on the Sinai peninsula.

BATTLE IN SNOW,
ICE AND SLEE1

London, Dec. 23.--Bitter fighting in
snow, ice and slush Is attending the
German attempt to advance in Do
brudja.
Guaranteeing the Russian defend.
ers enormously they have succeeded
in forcing the retirement of the cars
forces, but only after some hard
fought battles.
Stopped in their drive northward
into Moldavia, it is apparent the Teu.
tons have reinforced their Dobrudja
line heavily and transferred their
greatest pressure to this front. The
object is undoubtedly to exert flank
pressure at later period in the pro
posed advance on the Roumanian-Rus.
sian forces in the Barila neighborhood.
Petrograd, Dec. 23.-Russian forces
have pressed back German invaders
in Roumania, northwest, west and
southwest of Kimnikser, the official
statement declared. Lively battles
are reported around advanced posi-
tons in the region of Rakovenitcheni,
Vadul and Coresoi.
