AMERICAN FARMERS DO
WORK AT NIGHT NOW

Instead Of trying to do all his
work by daylight lin conformance
with the newest continental regula-
ton the progressive American farm
er is beginning to have large part
of it done by night. Dynamos are
being utilized on some of the great
western farms which supply power
full electric light by means of which
blowing, cultivating and harvesting
can be done in the cool of the night
instead of the heat Of the day.
The dynamo in use can light a
large field. A tractor, for instance,
is fitted with two powerful lights,
one in front to show the ground to
be gone over, and one in the rear
that shows the burrows already
plowed.

UNWISE RULING OF THE
LOCAL EXEMPTION BOARD

Editor Leader The government re-
qiested the farmers last year to in
crease the production of food and
feed, as one aid to winning the great
war This the farmers did willing
ly, as they were anxious, as all pa
triotic citizens are, to do all IN their
power to gain the victory And more
food and feed was grown in the cuun-
ty last year perhaps, than ever in
the history of our country before.
Now the government has request
ed the farmers to increase the grow
ing Of these products over last year,
and we find an classes, tenants as
well as landowners, ready and anX-
ious to make the effort, and no doubt
they viii do all they can do, as there
is no class of people more ready to
aid the government in the war than
are farmers, not only to increase the
production Of food and feed, but 10
fight it's battles.
But ! see a ruling Of the draft
board in last weeks paper that farm
ers Of draft age are placed in class
one. This means that they will be
expected to 90 into the army in the
near future. This will result, ia my
opinion, in a decreased production of
food in our country this year, and
the government will defeat its patri-
otto purposes in trying to get an in
crease in the production Of food.
The reason given for this ruling
is that the government will support
the families of those who are draft
ed. Just see how this supporting
business will work: A man with a
wife and three children are to get
$3.50 per month. There are very
few farmers who expend that much
month, even with larger families
than a wife and three children. So
that means that the wife and child
rem are to be kept in idleness by the
government. This does not only mean
greet cost to the government, but
great increase in on-producers,
and consequently, an increase in con-
sumers. Where a man has a wife
and three children, as a rule, one of
the children and the wife are pro
ducers. So by taking the mantle
husband--three producers have stopped
work, and three consumers are add
ed to the burden of the country to
feed. All know that the average
family will not work while they have
plenty to live on without working.
do not claim that the ruling is
unfair, but that it is unwise because
it will result in the growing of less
food and feed. .

A GRUMBLE AT THE GRUMBLER

Don't be grumbler. Some people
contrive to get hold of the prickly side
of everything; to run up against the
sharp corners, and find out all the
disagreeable things. Half the strength
spent in growing would often set
things right. You may as well make
up your mind, to begin with, that no
one ever found the world as he would
like it; but you are to take your share
of the troubles and bear them brave
ly. You will be very sure to have
troubles laid upon you that belong to
other people, unless you are a shirk
yourself, but don't grumble. If the
work needs doing, and you can do it,
never mind about the other person
who ought to have done it and didn't
Those workers who fill up the gaps
and smooth away the rough spots,
and finish up the job others leave I'M
done, they are the true peacemakers,
and worth whole lot of GROWERS.

"A PLENTY MORE LIKE 'RM

The wise man solomon remarked

friendly; and it might be said now
that if a man is himself a good ncigh-
Dor, he is mighty likely to have good

On this point we recently ran across
an interesting farm story, fresh from
the prairies Of the West The moral
is one that cannot be too often ems
phasized; and this is the story as the
American Cooperative Journal gives
it:
"They tell Of an old grandma who
was sitting in front of her home,
knitting in the sunshine. when an im-
migrant with covered wagon drew up
his team and gave them rest and
drink.
Howdy-' spoke up Grandma.
Where be you a-goin'?'

the peskiest, meanest neighbors; we
was glad to get shet of EN-
eyes, but you'll find plenty more
just like 'em where you're a-goin.'
And then Grandma went on knitting.
"A few days later another immi-
grant wagon, with its family drew up
at the water trough. And again
Grandma asked the usual questions as
to where they were going and where
they were from.
"But this time the answer to the
question of whether they did not hate
to break up old home ties was differ

Indeed, we did hate to leave,
Grandma. It nearly broke our hearts.
