Club Work Develops
Interest In Farm.

Students of rural social condi.
tons have pointed out that one
of the surest way to keep the boy
on the farm and make the girl
satisfied with the farm home is
togive them direct, tangible
interest "a real partnership = in
the business and affairs of the
farm and home. The boy who
feels duty bound to work on the
farm every day when not in
school and who receives no re-
compense whatever for his work
other than the care and support
which are his birth-right, should
not be expected to develop a last
ing enthusiasm for the work.
But give the boy a little piece of
land, a pen of chickens, or a
pure-bred pig, with which he
may work and from which he
may keep the returns, and you
appeal to the inherent American
instinctin him which quickens
his ideas and also strengthen
his heart. Not one of us likes to |
work for nothing.
Club work is an organised
agency that not only makes pos
sible standards of achievements,
but one that recognizes youths
in a dlgnified way |
,akes drudgery out of farm and |
home work and makes young |
people proud to be members of |
Americas army of peaceful arts
ind industry.

Parcel Post Leads To Good
Markets.

The parcel post makes it
possible to send even perish
able products great distances
and farmers are thereby en-
abled to sell such products
as butter, cheese, eggs, etc.,
direct from the farm to the
consumer. There are hundreds
of people in our towns and
cities who would be glad to
get such articles direct from
the farm ifthe farmers will
put up good, uniform pro-
ducts and deliver regularly.

The Chronic Kicker.

A certain country town once
possessed an influential citizen
who opposed every worthy move
ment not fathered by himself.
He was a chronic kicker and the
despair of the town, for in one
way or another he invariably
carried his point.
One day a small band of Five
wires" devised a new way to get
an improvement through. They
secretly arranged for it to be in.
troduced at the meeting of the
village board, with the public in
vited toexpress their views.
The s'live ones" were present
and so was the kicker. But con
trary to his expectations the
wires vociferously opposed the
measure. This was too much for
the kicker, and he Immediately
launched into a strenuous advo-
cacy of the measure which he
had previously intended to ''kill'
1t carried with a whoop.
We might take a lesson and
put one over" some day.

Spend More For Pork Than
For Schools

1T is not greatly to the credit
of the farmers of the State that
we as people are spending more
each year for pork and pork pro-
ducts alone than we spend for all
educational purposes combined
says G. E. Nesom, Superinten-
dent Live Stock Extension Ser
vice, J. S. u. 1T is a well eg-
tablished fact that hog-raising
can be practiced on almost any
farm in the State irrespective of
shipping conveniences and is pro
badly the most practical line of
live stock industry for the aver
age farmer to undertake. It does
notTequire as much skill as some
other lines. such as dairying, the
breeding herds cost lesss and the
finished product can be shipped
long distances. IL. s. y. Press

Prosperity vs..
High Prices.

''No such thing exists in Anne
rica as prosperity for just one
class, unless it exists for all. "
So said a noted statesman last
fall. and millions of Americans
believed him, but we differ from
him.
Our present so-called prosperity
is a prosperity of the CLASSES.
It is most emphatically NOT a
prosperity of the MASSES.
The munitions manufacturer
is prosperous because Europe is
clamoring for his products.
The automobile maker pros
pers because the craze for the
buzz wagon is on the upward
slant.
The farmer prospers because
Europe demands his products.
Certain other specialindustries
prosper because a war crazed
Europe need their wares with
which to prolong the struggle.
An3 saers the REAL prospe-
rity ends. The millions of salari-
ga men and women and the
more modest wage earners are
immeasurably Worse off than
they were five years ago. Thous
andsof printers and publishers
are facing actualruin. The small
merchant has difficulty in MAX
ing both ends meet. Thousands
Of professional men are wonder
ing how they can pay their rent.
High prices are the result of this
half prosperity, but ALL people
have them to pay. The Classes
have the money with which to
pay, but the MASSES are wonder
ing where in blazes it's coming
from.

As the Editor
Sees II.

We are told that there is more
money in the country today
than ever before in our history.
Possibly so. but WHERE IS IT?
Isit in the banks, or in the hands
of BORROWERS? In either case
it is not in the hands of the mass
of the people.
Borrowed money is not an as
set. It is a liability, and the
heaviest kind of one.
Chew these facts for while,
and see how they digest.
How often can the three-dol-
lar-a-day nan with family af-
fard eEgs at SO and 60 cents a
d zen, IS they are in the cities!
How many pori erhouse steaks
can be afford at rs cents9
With flour at SO barrel,
and potatoes at 81 and So a bush
eli. and even the humble corn
meal up in the clouds, how much
can that large family afford to
Oat2
With clothing, shoes, groceries
with everything usable up in
prices and wares still down, how
often is the poor man going to
eat, and WHAT is he to eat2
Yes, there are millions-even
billions-of money in the country
hut it is in the hands of the few. /
while the many must be content
with envy and longing. !
The average wage Garner IS
to be pardoned on occasional cuss
word when he reads of the gold
en- stream that is pouring into
the people. "
He would even like to be one
of the people. .
