Every Farm a Factory.

The opportunity of the town lies in the country. The country
can get along without the town, but no town ever has or ever will be
permanently prosperous where the land is poor. The town is built
on farm profits; on what farmers produce in excess of their home
needs. In fact, towns are consumers, not real produces. Towns are
the natural evolution and outgrowth of necesity-paces to store
and distribute the worlds surplus products through the channels
OF commerce. There is but one road to permanent city building
that road leads to the farm, Business is so sympathetic, so sensitive
to crop production, that the forecast Of a poor wheat or corn crop
affects the markets of the world. When the harvest fields smile,
towns wax fat, and factories increase the pay roll. Corn, wheat, and
hay, beef, pork and poultry--these are the soil builders, the home
builders, the builders Of great cities.
The old fashioned chamber of commerce, with it's cash bonuses
and free factory sites, is rapidly passing away. Instead of grabbing
business from each other, we must realize that our opportunities lie
hidden in the fertility of the soil. Towns and cities are beginning
to look to the country, out to the fields Of growing corn, wheat, and
cotton for their real prosperity. A successful hay campaign will
bring factories to the town. Hay means beef and nork, which beckon
the packing house and storage plant. More corn means cereal mills,
glucose factories, starch factories. Flour mills locate in wheat pro-
duGng sections. Creamcries follow the dairy COW, and the truck
patch calls for the canning factory.
Let us have more chambers of commerce and agriculture. Let us
create wealth from the opportunities at home, and not subtract it
from other communities.
We must not forget that every farm is a factory, and that in
every state there are thousands of these factories which need our
best thought and effort to make them productive.

the Importance of the democratic forces

German democratic exile IN switzerland,
without one single exception, emphasized

be briefly summarized as follows:

in Germany which understands Gemoc-

her people with the necessities of life

growing accustomed to war losses.
Losing the third or fourth son causes

New Fields of Gold.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.

Kings are gathered again on a field of
the cloth Of gold. They are lords, not OF
thrones. but of farms. The field? 1t is
the far reaching expanse Of golden grain.
These kings are rulers of acres over
which peace and quiet brood. No swords
dangle by a thread above their heads. No
dreams of fallen dynast.es beset them In
the night. They sleep the sleep of the
Just. They rise and greet the sun each
day with consciences clear, with hearts
unafraid, with the sense that there is no
stain of blood Tpon their hands. no
hideous wrong to answer for TO their God.
In their retinues on the new field Of the
.loth OF gold are honorable knights Of toll
-sheaf bearers and threshermen. Hard by
are their bridesmaids and matrons-in
waiting to attend on the knights betwixt
the lively jousts OF the harvest. What
feasts they serve-every gathering at the
board q banquet more toothsome. more
wholesome. thar the regal spreads that
we're laid for Henry Of England and Fran
Wis Of france on the plain of Cuisines and
Ardres 400 years ago.
On this field are no silken hangings
showing like builions OF fine FURNISHED
gold" no upholstery In golden tissue: no
affairs hung with cloth Of gold embroidered

with pearls; no censers and cruets and
candlesticks fashioned chastely In precious
metals; no fretted vestments from the
looms Of Florence: no crimson velvets
hung with chains Of gold; no walls Of
man made damask; no jewel bedight
nantes or cassocks; no bonnets Of velvet
in royal purple. gay with plumes and
aglow with jewels.
Far lovelier is the setting Of the new
field thar OF the old. Its canopy Is the
far flung blue sky. FITS gold is the gold
OF nature, not inert, but ripping as the
trout brook or rolling like the seas, catch
ing the splendor OF the SUI by day and
the glory OF the moon by night.
Since recorded history began--yea, long
before, as the secrets of ancient tombs
disclose-wheat has been the grain Of
grains for human food. 1t is so today
Used and liked the world over, there Is
no other cereal to fill it's place. Today
II is more precious than gold as q factor
in human destiny.
Nothing worth while came out Of the
meeting OF kings on the field Of the cloth
OF gold In France in 1920. Something
tremendously worth while, something in
dispensable to the worlds happiness, Is
coming out of the field of the cloth Of
gold in America in 1918.
