DIVIDES WITH son.

One clear-thinking, observant
Missouri farmer has adopted the
plan of contracting with his son to
receive rs per cent of the net
profits OF the farm for his work.
This contract has now been in
operation for four years, and no
year has the son failed to receive
more than hired hands wages,
besides getting his living, the use
of team and buggy, and a more
enjoyable life generally than he
would expect should he seek EN- :
ployment elsewhere. How much
better such an arrangement is than
forcing him to go off OH someone
else's farm to find his opportunity.
By this method he is stimulated to
put his best thought and effort into
making the farm produce heavily
and, what $ more, he has the dig
nifty and responsibility of partner
in the business.

Back To The Farm

1t is gratifying to learn from
real estate men in different Sec
tions of the country that there is
at last a pronounced movement
"bacll to the farm - They re-
port large numbers of city men
of moderate means purchasing
farms and moving their families
to them to escape the burdens
OF the present high cost of living
This is commendable and all
right as far as it goes, but the
movement is not general enough.
And then it is not owners that
are needed on the farms, but
workers..
For several decades past now
there has been a rapid exodus
from the farm, until in many
sections of the country it is al
most impossible to secure farm
help at any price. This ha $
had the enviable result of curtail
ing the output of the farms,
high prices naturally resulting.
We have seen table of sta
tistics of the per oent of urban
population as compared to rural
at the present time and fifty
ago. 1t showed startling growth
OF the cities and towns, with not
nearly an equal growth of rural
population.
But, you say, those workers
who have deserted the farms for
the city are now engag ge d in
manufactures. Why then, are
not manufactured articles cheap
er in the price instead of being
right up alongsideof food stutfs!
The answer is simple and will
have to be taken into consider
alton in any scheme to lessen the
cost of living. The farm is the
barometer OF tional life
Touch the farm and you touch
the national pulse. 1t matters
very little the scarcity or plenty

subscription. These accounts vary
from Sl.5O in most instances to
six or eight dollars, and even more
i'll a few instances. AT the present
time every thing that goes into the
makeup of a paper and the conduct
OF a newspaper and printing busi-
ness is costing from two to five or
six times what it did few months
ago and we wish to assure our
readers that we have need for every
cent due us and that we will APP
preciate promptness of payment OH
their part. On past due accounts
we will be forced to- insist OH a
settlement the first of the year. We
have lent credit freely in past wears
when paper prices were more rea-
sonable and we could afford to do
so and persons so favored should
have sufficient sense OF appreciation
to come forward at this time and
make settlement of their accounts
without being obliged to do so, or
even worse willfully evade their
responsibility if they see any possi-
bilitv of doing so. AS we gave
ample notice last July, the rate of
the Standard is 81 so in advance,
and 5000 year if permitted to
run in arrears, SO that it is to the
interest of the subscriber as we'll
as ourselves that payment he made
in advance, but even when this is
not done we ewill not carry accounts
more than year or two in arrears
aud persons who are owing for a
greater length of time and fail to
make settlement before the first of
the year may as we'll be expecting
call from the collector early i'm
January. However we feel that
persons who have been favored
with such extensions of credit will
show sufficient appreciation to cali
before that date and make some
settlement.
