Just the other day one of the prosperous farm
ers of foreign extraction came 10 Price TO do
some shopping He didn't come in an automo-
bile nor was he dressed like prince OF industry.
IL was easy TO see that he was no utra-modern
farmer in some respects While in store, how
ever he permitted himself TO be drawn into con-
versation, and by the time he left gave the i'm
preston that he had considerable "horse sense"
with him.
ut makes me laugh" he said ito note some of
the tendencies of a certain class Of farmers in
Carbon county. They're never satisfied. No
matter how good the land is that they own, they
want TO sell out and go elsewhere. Land in some
other place always looks a little better. Or they
think they can get more of II for the money they
can get II they sell what they have. It's human
nature, guess he continued, but long ago
found that the secret of genuine success in
farming, as in everything else, is to do 1t right.
"Now, If these farmers would take greater
care 10 attend 10 their business, If they devoted
their thoughts TO improving the land and raising
more on IT, and If they weren't afraid OF the nee

osceola was their leader hero
among his people. Tall and erect,
with eyes which fairly looked through
the person who met his gaze, this
Indian swayed his warriors and proved

was abandoned. Since that time the
welfare OF the Seminole has been
looked after By missionaries and al
