feared none of the good ones In

You are Il Farmer, and you are
thinking great deal about crops
But have you begun to think how
you. and your fellow-farmers can
rise to Il higher state of comfort
and being? You believe in truth
because truth wins out in the
end. No man. or set of men, can
promise or supply you with any
new way Of getting something
for nothing. If you want credit
you must establish a sound basis
Good government never deals in
fads aud fancies. The present
day Administration at Washing
ton has sought 10 stand by the
interests of the agricultural.

Any kind of law that may be
enacted by the state or nation is
of no value to you, unless it be a
relief for the situation as you
must meet it. Crops will be
small this season: and the cause
of this is due to unreasonable
weather. You must struggle on.
Is ii safe TO change the Admin
istration? The present govern
ment. by its President, has kept
our country out of panic and war.
1t has sought TO build up, instead
of destroying friendly relations
with the world. 1t has made an
empire butt up by the American
people. to be respected by other
nations. Shall we go back 20
party politics? or shall We sus-
tain the president? Sensible
citizens see no good in a chang"

dent-to preserve government by

alone by himself, becomes skill

who has not immense initiative

David was probably about eight
cen when he came on the firing
line in his first battle. But at
that age he had fairly we'll de-

made him great King. Most

eighteen. David had then had
two successful! fights of major
proportions. These were with
