Will H. Robinson.-If men and
women could be satisfied with being
useful and could be content to serve
the purpose for which nature has fit
ted and endowed them, this world
would no longer be vale of tears, but
would be place where angels might
1inger in their flights. 1t is our enves
our jealousies and our longings for
what we do not have that cast most
of the shadows that fall across our
lives. We envy what others have
and we have not and we spend our
time in wishing instead of winning
success in life. We little realize that
If all our wishes should be gratified
that we should be the most miserable
creatures in all the world.

NJ w. Gustin.-The habit of saying
something grouchy about the high
cost of living has become so general
that even the farmers are loaded to
the gunwales with lamentations and
execrations on this subject. What
has the farmer got to complain of
about the high cost of living? How
much more do his clothing, farm i'm
plements and machinery-the things
he has to buy-cost him than they
did in the years gone by when there
was no howl about the war and the
trusts? When confronted with the
practical side of this question as it
interests the farmers.the high cost
of living crouch shifts the scene to
that of the wage earners who have
to buy our produce.

By increasing it's capital and sur
