FARMING NOW
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

A nationwide cry Is being made for
more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need OF
foodstuffs equal to that of the present.
Grain prices are the highest in the ma
tons history and today the agricul-
turai fields of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled in any other
line of commerce or business. The
ideal life Is that close to nature, en-
doors and fulfilling a duty to human
ity by producing from fertile soil
that which is essential to the very ex-
istence of less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced so eco
nomically in the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grain, und0ubt-
eddy, will be maintained for a number
of years, and it appears a certainty
that the agriculturist will reap a
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
Of patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ceptf6h has been generally noticed as
to 'LIfe on the Farm" 1t has been,
to large extent, considered as only
place to live peacefully and pfor4 9
Lying for those who are satisfied with
merely a comfortable existence. Such
wrong impression has been created
In a measure, by the lack Of systcma-
tic business principles to farming In
general. But today farming and agr!-
culture have been given supremacy
In the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
Line Of commerce. IN nd other busi-
ness does q system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and it Is Certain
that there Is no other line Of work,
that, generally speaking, needs 1t as
much. The old idea of getting living
off the farm and not knowing how 1t
was made and following up the details
of each branch of farming to get the
maximum of profit, at the least ex-
pense, Is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
u DuSlleSS duu Il IiNiilS Is IiOt SuiCieht
for the modern agriculturist; small
per cent on the investment Is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have percentag return equal to that
Of other lines Of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost Of producing has been the factor,
In many places that has reduced the
profit. 1t is the application of a sys-
TEN to the cost of various work on the
farm that 1t is possible to give figures
on profits made In grain-growing In
Western Canada. ....s..a s

land in full and the cost of cultivating
1t and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at $1.55 bushel Ca low price
compared with the present MARKET,

Persons living in apartments or fur
nished rooms will find this useful de-
vice for increasing closet capacity:
Fasten one end Of heavy wlre-pic-

the spring of a patent clothespin. wind
the wire about the second hook and so
on around the closet until there is a

This is an excellent way of holding
skirts or waists and can be removed

BANISTER SCORED
BY W. G. 7. U. WOMEN
Declare Retired Army Officer
Referred to Petticoat as
Badge of Cowardice.
DIR. CALLFAs DEFENDS HIM

Mrs, George w. Covell, Woman's
Christian Temperance union worker
considered insulting some remarks
made by Colonel J. M. Banister in
his talk to the temperance women OF
the city Wednesday afternoon, when
he said:
Anyone who opposes the president
in this time of great crisis is traitor
and should be treated as such. The
moral influence of women in time of
war cannot be minimized. Women
of today should follow the example
of noble women OF the past in sup
port of their soldiers.
Il have never heard anything so
vile, contemplate and pusilanimous as
the song sung in Omaha, 4 Didn't
Raise My Boy to Be Soldier If
we did not raise our boys to be men,
we had better put dresses on them
and send them into the bakeries. If
Germany had invaded this country as
it did Belgium and had found our
young men smelling roses, with lace
collars around their necks, instead of
being ready to protect you at any
cost, you might have been deported
by soldiers as Belgian women have
been. A Stacker should be ignored
and looked upon with contempt by
every woman"
Il resent Colonel Banister's atti-
,tude," said Mrs. Covell. Il have to
wear lace collars, but that is no dis
grace. ! am insulted that he used the
petticoat as a badge of cowardice.
Men may have physical bravery, but
women have moral bravery. He and
i have something in common and he
is moved by the old southern spirit
of chivalry, but he needs to get his
views changed in regard to war"
DR.. Jennie M. Callfas interrupted
with protest, II love Mrs. Covell a.
much as can be. but ! must protest
against this talking about Colonel
Banister when he came here to give
us suggestions from his practical ex-
iperience about our work" Mrs.
Covell subsidized.
Mrs. Mamie M. Clahin, state presi-
dent of the Woman's Christian Tenn
'perance union, said: 81 didn't raise
my boy to be soldier. My views
are dramatically opposed to those Of
Colonel Banister. He is a war-loving

now, we must do everything we can
