Among the Farmers

carried out a wagon lOdu Ol ldi III
 implements Wednerday morning,
 which he bought from ARGUS
 advertisers.
 While on a recent run in the
 Sunshine Special" 1 met one of
 Ward boys at Zent. He was ilst back from Brinkley where
 he had been with another load
 of poultry and eggs. He is of
 the firm of A. T. M. Ward & Son, who run the big Cedar Stock & Poultry Farm. He told me that he had averaged selling from 50 to 75 dozen eggs each week since Jan 1st and they have sold them at from 30 to 50 cents per dozen. They have 300 old chickens and 300 young ones. Now it looks very much like the Wards have struck home on farming. They tell me that the Brinkley market is usually very good.
 In every school district inlMon- roe County after crops are laid by we believe it will be well to have a Marketing and Rural Credits Meeting" Ask all the farmers to attend and discuss their problems. Name committees to interview local merchants and the nearby chambers of com merce. Interview bankers and ask what will be their policy as to lending money on the products your section raises. Find out in what form various products should be marketed. See what neighbors are willing to sell to- gether. Arrange to get market quotations from all market quo- tations from all market towns to which yon might ship products.
 A community picnic sometime | after crops are laid by should be the aim of every country neigh borhooh, and it is none too early to begin planning afor it. ; And wherever such picnic is held, 1t should be the aim to have some discussion of local progress. Don't be contented merely to have some speaker from a distant place talk about some subject of distant application. It is better to take some one or more subjects such as we have just beenldis- cussing, for example, ,..and after having some speaker or speakers discuss them, then proceed to follow up theltalk bylaction. In this way, for example, there might be discussion and action on such matters as the better marketing of ,this::year's acrops; holding a community..fair;lthe or ganization of a national farm loan association; establishing a cooperative cotton, gin, s.s@cotton warehouse, Or grainEmill; ;ssbetter support of schools this fall. mu- tuai fire insurance, etc. And then don't forget the musical feature including the singing of familiar songs by the entire au dience and some athletic fea- lures for the young folks.
 No neighborhood should live through the good old summer time" without having all the peo- pie get together for the comrade- ship and inspiration of combi- nation picnic and community pro- gress meeting. At the same time. we should say that if hold ing such a picnic in summer would interfere with your having a community fair this fall, let the dicnic go and concentrate all your energies on the fair. Nothing else of the sort equals the com munity fair as lan agency of com munity progress.

Peace to Men
ofGood viii
By CHARLES +. THWlNG

The angels song, "On Earth Peace,
Good Will Toward Men," can also be
translated "peace to men Of good
will" This version Is timely, as well
as correct for the Greek. For peace
can and shall come to men of good
will, and it cannot come to men Of
bad will.
Who is the man of good will? 1t
is he who has a choice of happiness,
Of righteousness, Of goodness for all
men. It is he who desires that men
may be blessed, and who tries to
make the desire effective. The man
of good will does not hate. Neither
does he incarnate hate in any weapon
offensive or defensive. He Is free from
revenge, and is full Of forgiveness
for the penitent. He may not forget
injuries, but, what Is more important,
he is eager to make injury the occa-
sion for helping the offender to over
come the evil within the heart or
will out of which the injury sprung.
He is capable Of mighty indignations,
but he does not suffer himself to be
conquered by them. Without being
impassive, he is calm in the face Of
wrong, and he Is very patient, be-
ing more willing to be the victim than
the agent Of evil. His hatred Of all
sin and his love for the man who,
despite his manhood, Is guilty Of sin,
are alike strong and lasting. He is
free from suspicion, he thinketh no
evil. He loves his neighbor, not only
as himself, but even more, being more
eager to do justice than to receive
justice.
The qualities and elements which
constitute the man Of good will also
constitute the commonwealth Of good
will.
Such a commonwealth is common
wealth peace. Willing good to 9TH
ers, others will good also to 1t. Arm
aments in such condition have no long
er any function to play, and they melt
away. The battlefags are furled.
Wars cease and rumors Of wars are
not heard. Men become brothers in
mutual service and happiness, as they
are brothers in origin and destiny.

Christmas
and Old Loves
By LAURA IAN LBBET

When I think on ;.le happy days
I spent with you. my little dearie,
Now what lands !ctween us lie,
How can but b. eerie?
A S yuletide d:aws near, mans
~ mind is very apt to revert to
II have gone before. There is
most always q woman connected with
a mans happy times and pleasant day
dreams. The man who left the farm
to make his fortune in the great city
and who has become rfch a bachelor
boarding at fashionable hotel or club,
can usually recall some particularly
happy Christm>G in the long ago-a
Christmas dinn';' in the old home,
taking his first sweetheart Christmas
eve to q bali in the town hall; the de-
light of taking her home-a mile
through snow drifts on winter night.
He had written to her few times aft
er leaving home, then the excitement
of city life had crowded her out Of his
memory and hi. life. AS Christmas
draws nigh again. thoughts carry him
back to the girl !2c loved when time
was young with :::. On the impulse
of the moment IL dashes off letter
to her. He docs not know whether
she will receive It. She may be mar
ried or she may have moved away.
The old folks at home had been care
full never to mention her even in an
swer to his inquiries.
How strange il is that the same
thought can fill two different minds at
the same time. TIE girl Of long ago,
still single, knowing he has not wed,
picks up courage (" send Christmas
card to the boy grown old now who
took her to her first ball on Christmas
eve. The letter ;ild card cross each
other as each flies to it's goal. The
bachelor finds it il his Christmas mail.
The lonely woman standing by win
dow in q far-off farmhouse has let
ter handed to her by neighboring
farmer who kindly fetched it to her
from the post o!:ice Christmas morn
ing. simultaneously there is q warm
glow in two heai !; widely severed.
And yet there :; 2 people who Won
der that there ar "omances which are
revived at yulc!ide when men and
women no longc,' young sigh for love
and home cheer, if they sit alone and
lonely listening to the chimes of the
Christmas bells.
Christmas day is the time to light
the sacred fire upon the altar of old
i. ,;ra and loves and make the longing
ard dreams rea, les. Sending little
Christmas card q. h well-chosen
kindly verse is t-.:c to find an echo in
a lonely mans heart at this time of
all others. One should not check the
kindly resolve to send one. 1t can do
no harm and It ma bring much happi-
ness. To WHOM, ore you going to send
your "Nferry .ris:mas' card in this
year of our Lord .3lT? Perhaps I'll
find one in my stccEing. I'll hang it
up and see. I tai" this occasion to

wish that the comi: ), year may be the
