The idea is excellent Mr.. Lorentz

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.
foodstuifs equal to that of the present.
Hrain prices are the highest in the ma
lions history and today the agricul-
tuyal fields of Anleriea offer induce
nents that are ~unequalcd III any other
inc of commerce y business. The
ideal life is thar close 10 nature, en-
joying The freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling Il anty to human
ity by producing from y fertile soil
that which is essential to the very eN-
tstence Of Il less fortunate people who.
are actually starving to death for food
iSti is that can he produced so eco
nomically in the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grain, undoubt-
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 ut
The same time carry out the demands
of patriotic citizenship. A WRONG con
ception has been generally noticed as
to Life on the Farm" 1t has been,
to . large extent, considered rs only
q place to 1--we peacefully and afford Il
living for those Who are satisfied With
merely Il comfortable existence. Such
4 wrong impression has been created
in 4 measure, by the lack of systemic
tic NiSineSs principles to farming in
general. But today Turning and. asri-
cuiture haze been given Il Supremacy
in the. BUSINESS world and require the
SAN. advanced methods as any other
line of commerce.. In no other bust
ness does Il system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and it is certain
that there is 10 other line OF work,
that. generally speaking. needs it as
much. The old idea of getting a living
OF the farm and NOT knowing how il
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
a business and Il living is moi sufficient
hyA 81 , . iiist
per cent on the investment is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have a 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 Il sys-
TEN to the cost of various work on the |
farm that it is possible to give figures
on profits made in grain-gfowing ip
Western. Canada.

land in Western Canada for $1,000 in

Thinking gratefully that the
world was very kind, he was lay
ing down a paper when his eye
caught the Shanghai date line.
Evidently. from the small space
given to the dispatch, it had come
IN toe late to permit Of its being
displayed largely.
There was, it said, a house with
the red-lacquered balcony on the
F'oochow road, as Mary Leslie had
described it.
There was a Portuguese, Charlie
by name, who owned it, and now,
since the opium trade had been
discontinued, conducted it as a
restaurant.
! The Portuguese was not rich in
details. His memory was vague.
But he remembered a wild Ameri-
can named Gardner and a woman
who used to be seen with him. He
did not know whether they were
married.
There had not been time, when
the c~ablegram was written, to
make any other Investigation, in
the official records or elsewhere,
regarding the alleged marriage.
He was reading the dispatch for
the third time when a bellboy
brought him a note. The envelope
had not been stamped. 1t had been
left, late the night before, the boy
explained, with directions that it
should be delivered to him early
in the morning.
On a sheet Of notepaper was
written:
You are your own tomorrow.
It was signed Edith Mallon.n
His brain reeled. The memory
of her standing in the doorway,
the Fragrance of her hair the day
she had stood close to him on the
edge OF the river, the thought of
her brave sweetness-these things
came as a blessed relief from the
momentary but deep depressionhe
had felt after reading the cable
gram from Shanghai. He got up
and raised one Of the windows so
that he might breath the fresh air.
lie drank it into his lungs in great
gulps. a group of photogra-
piers stood on the pavement be-
waiting for snapshots Of him
as he started to his Office on what
everybody regarded as the deci-
slve day in his career. He under
stood some Of that.
He thrust Edith S note into his
pocket and put on his overcoat
and hat.
AS he left the room, he was
forcing through his brain the tri-
umphant thought: This is the
day! This is the fght!!',
It was as if he called his own
soul to arms.
Once in his Office, he became the
storm center Of the country S po-
thought that day. Waller,
with both hands full OF kilograms,
met him in the reception room.
Smith did not know il, but the
newspaper man had had only two
hours of sleep.
You don't haze to read them,
Waller said, the drawl in his voice
not hiding his elation. They re
good-al for us.
This carly Smith was sur
prised.
Most Of these are night letters,
sent after the afternoons hit the
yesterday. But some, sent
this morning, have come ii al
ready.
They were in the inner Office.
and Smith was taking off his coat.

How They Do Things in Iowa.

Manila la, October 27:-Patriotic
indignation over the refusal of the
owner of the only assembly hall in
Aspinwall, a village near here, to
permit the use of his place by Liber-
ty loan campaigners stirred more
than Is citizens of Columbia to such
resentment that they descended upon
the little town to-day. closed all its
stores, obtained the arrest of the re-
calcitrant hall owner and obtained
subscriptions for almost the entire
quota of the townships bond allot-
ment. The name of any citizen of
the town, which is German settle
ment. who did not buy bond was
given to the federal authorities for
investigation, and the State council
of defense ordered the resignation
of the town marshal.

Liberty bond statesmen, and though
