CONTENT WITH DIsCONTENT

never get us any forrarder., If com blaming and whimpering would do any good, if they would bring about any reform, if they would effect any im- provement, then they would be worth while. But they don't and they won't: never did and never will. We might just as well expect to break 8 +eold spelP' of below-zeFe weather by going out on the back steps and blowing hot air against the northwest wind. It isn't what we say but what we do that will count. That is what we have got to considsr,--and act upon It's about time to stop grtIuhAng end DO SOMETHING!
 But what shall we do? : Brethen, I don't think that's just the right way to ask the question. It isn't What shall I've" do. SO much as What shall "I" do?
 When it comes to farm operations, frankly admit that I haven't as much faith in or respect for organiza- ton as once had. Our work Is so intensely individual and our respective H.aquipments and capacities are so un- 1 like and unequal that organization
 seems less effective with US than with almost any other class. If it would
 work, should be for it with both hands and both feet. But it doesn't seem to.
 There is right way to manage each farm. Each farm? Nay, each separate acre of each farm. We farm
 way, each for himself. And right
 answer to our question what to do. 1 Let each man of us take his farm, its
 possibilities and it's limitations, up ss
 a problem in efficiency. Let each one plan to make the utmost possible for the coming season out of the pessibil
 ities before him, limited howseeyer
 they may be. | Is hired labor unobtainabie. Let
 him take careful thought of every
 line in which he might make freer
 use of machinery as a xubstitllte. Let
 him talk the thing over with hts near
 est neighhors and sec fl, among them, 1 they can't work up scheme of help | ing each other in emergencies. I Are fertilizers so high as to be crt of the question? Then na& Is the
 time to consider if there isn't some
 way to increase the output of farm manure from the farm stables. ar,
 at least, to preserve in greater degree the fertilizing value of that naturally
 made.
 Is it hard and costly to get supplies Then let each man go over his re- Il sources of land and labor very care fully and see if there is no way ir which he may make those resources
 of his owh supply ali or, anyway. g larger proportion than now of his home needs. No single one of us can do much But "everW little counts" When there
 are nine or ten million Titles they
 count big in the sum.
 If every one of us farmers who has grumbled about ten things in the past ..year will only set himself to remed, or correct the cause of one grunbie
 the coming year. he will certainly de- Eserve well of his country. T And I guess he'll be trifie happier himself.

When the train reached Stonington from Westerly, he said: I've got it, I guess; I don't know the size of the average freight car nor the cubic inches of bunch of one hundred one dollar bills; but allowing that the bunch of bills measured ten cubic inches, and that a freight car inside measurement is nine feet by nine, and the length forty feet. it would require train of PA cars, plus, to transport one billion one dollar bills! That is equal to seven average through. freight ttrains."

 What is true of dairyins is true of every other form of farm activities. Secretary Houston says smoothly enough in his plea for greater produc= ton that Many difficulties confront the agricultural forces"
 Sartain sure, MT. Secretary We working farmers do not need to be told so. We know that labor is Sd hard to get that many of us can't get it at all, We know that fertilizers are scarce and high, 50 high that many of us can't afford them any more. We also know that they're pretty poor stuff when we do manage to get hold of a bag or two. We know that seeds and tools and farm machines cost any where from twice what they used to up. We know that We can't get sup plies when we need them nor deliver our products when se!d because the country's transportation system has broken down. We know that we are "up against it" better than any out slider can.
 Where we used to have several things to grumble about we now have pretty nearly everything in that cate gory.
 Nor need any frequenter of farm gatherings doubt that we are, most of us, freely exercising our faulthndlng functions.

should be stored by every family that
has facilities to do so If they have
their own gardens 1t is much cheaper to

and buy them from the store
Go to the wiseacres in your commu-

storage, or ask advice of the agricul-
tural extension service of the food ad :
miniStratiOn in your State. Talk about
vegetable storage in your club meetings,

HOTEL AM HOG ISLAND
ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND
Workmen. Senator'S, Diplo.
mats and Even Charlie
Schwab Rub Shoulders

The a. T. s. c. Hotel at Hog Island
has had a varied patronage in the few
months It has been operating. The place
was opened in March and since then
about $4,000 meals have been served
there Between 500 and 500 persons are
fed there daily.
Men from the shipways patronize the
place and frequently sit In the same
room with Charlie Schwab. who Is one
OF 'em. diplomats and statesmen from
all lands and our own Senators ana
Congressman. Many distinguished per-
sons have tried the cuisine of the hotel
by the old mosquito paradise.
Here is hotel that Is not run for
profit. and II Uncle Sam should hnd
himself ahead of the game In this feed
ing business he probably will sink all the
profits in Prince Alerts and tiles Tor the
walters and kitchen sports.
August Stocker. as manager, tells All
the help where they get off. or mostly
on. w. G. Anderson runs things In the
culinary shop with the help Of nineteen
walters, fifteen kitchen mechanics,
one housekeeper. two maids. two gay
porters and only one at night, one Day
and ,one night clerk.
Everything Is served Ia carte, ana
they say that II you see 1t on the caro-
it's there. -.
From almost every part OF the world
have come men and a few women to see
how Government ownership works IN
hotels and incidentally to get into the
shjpbui,ding game somehow just to keep
in fashion.
