COOPERATE WITH YOUR

A Georgia editor sends US a sug-
gestion which we are glad to pass
along to our readers. He writes:
Sometimes | hope you may pen an
editorial urgnig upon farmers the i'm
portance of seeing that their commu-
nifty news appears in their local pa
per. Throughout this section of
Georgia, it is difficult to locate cor
respondent who is willing to devote
time to the preparation of the com
munity news and there seems to be
an utter indifference as to co-operat-
ing with the local paper in this mat
ter. Furthermore, the rural people
fail to cooperate with the local edi-
tor in seeing that reports of church
gatherings, educational meetings, Sc
cret order affairs, and other occa-
sions are published.
In every neighborhood there ought
to be some man or woman willing to
undertake this service, if given the
proper cooperation. To have it, dig

excite interest in any approaching
meeting and bring out a full attend

cal correspondent can also do much
to stimulate agricultural and com,
munity progress. If a farmer has
bought a pure-bred COW or bull, OF
painted his house, or doubled his

THE OLD TRUNDLE BED

There are still few of us left who
remember the trundle bed-but for
which it would have been impossible
to bring up the old-fashioned family
of good proportions. Houses were
small and families were large in
those days, and providing beds was a
problem. SO it was solved by the
trundle bed-a low structure that
rolled beneath the regular" bed
and which was trundled out at night
and filled with children. There was
no more inspiring picture than a
trundle bed full Of little pink child
remand all trundle beds were gen.
erallv full Of them.
But the disorder, of the room would
run the modern housewife crazy
Clothes were dumped in piles upon
the floor. Shoes were tossed into the
corners. Stockings were mixed up
generally, and to be found all over
the room, but some way an hour or
so after the morning dressing every
thing disappeared, the trundle bed
was not in sight, and order came
out of it all while mother" was busy
with other things than "straighten-
ing up the room"
1t was feather bed of course
big and thick and soft. You sank
into its very bosom. No danger of
kid falling out; no more danger
than there would b. of raisin
falling out of cake. For the children
fitted into the feather bed for all the
world like peas in pod a nest-like
formation holding the tiny form. Be-
sides, if you did fall out of trundle
bed, you didn't have far to fall, only
an inch or two, for be it remembered
the trundle bed was built low so it
would roll under another bed.
But it was glorious invention!
A hillowy, downy couch fit for the
angels-and angels slept in them. The
temperature didn.. t matter. In mem
cly they were always comfortable.
Warm in winter and cool in summer
they nut have been-sweet and
clean and fresh always. That's the
way we recall them, anyway, so it
is the wey they must have heea.
The night had no terrors after one
was tucked away in trundle bed.
and sleep came quickly to "knit up
the raveled sleeve of care" Ihe
morning came instantly, it seemed,
bit YOU were refreshed and ready
for the rough-and-tumbIe work or
play that beckoned to you.-Dayton

ORGANIZED AGRICULTURE
AS A BUSINESS


Present conditions should point out
that the time has arrived for the
farmer to show not only his patriot,
ism, but to claim a right to a place
as a business man among business
men.
1t is clear that there lies in the
present conditions a stimulus to many
to enter agriculture as a business. 1t
is clear that agriculture holds out
opportunities for capital investment
by the experienced business man not
present before. The American pub
lie is being educated by the Food Adj
ministration Board at Washington to
a more extended and scientific use of
many foods in order that greater
supply Of certain staples may be
available to send to our allies.
The value of the entire agricultural
product Of the United States for the
year 1916, was, according to the De-
partment Of Agriculture at Washing
ton S13,448,310,509, while the total
estimated value of the 1917 products
based on October LIST figures, is $21,-
612,131 900, an increase of 60 per
cent. The total invested capital in
farm lands, buildings, implements,
machinery, live stock etc, was APP
proximately $50,O00,OO0,0OO The OPP
portunities presented by such figures
cannot fail to attract and hold the
attention of capital once it becomes
focused upon them as a business prop
osition.
Operated as other big industries are
operated, in large units and with
careful conservative management
the business of agriculture will move
rapidly forward to the time when its
investments will appeal to the am
bilious, much the same as our pres,
ent big organized industries have in
the past.
The farmer of today is having his
innings. He has had preferential
treatment during the war for which
he owes his government certain dis
tinct obligations. While prices OF
certain commodities have been fixed
on a downward scale, the prime ne.
cessities produced by him are at al
most top notch prices at which these
commodities have ever sold.
So much attention is now being
paid, and will continue to be paid t.
the part that agriculture plays anC
will continue to play in our economic
life, that there is little doubt thai
the business of farming will be PLACED
on a different plane within the neal
future Prices will fall, will adjus

Organized, systematic up-to-dat,
methods introduced into farming can

REMEMBER THE C0MMU-
NIFTY IN YOUR WILL

A S7,OOO,00O bequest to the Metro
politan Art Museum was recently an
nQunced, the gift Of the late Isaac
1Fletcher, Of Massachusetts. Not many
of us can leave millions to any good
cause, but the Progressive Farmer is
interested in seeing the time come
when every good citizen viii "remem-
Der the community in his will" in a
manner BETTING his means, be they
great or small. If-you can't leave
S7000,000 to a great art museum Of
worldwide fame, you may at least
leave $40 to purchase pictures for
your local school-house. If you can't
give millions as Carnegie has done
to erect libraries in a hundred cities,
you can at least leave SlO0 or 5000
for a neighborhood or school library
for your own people.
Everybody on January / should
make a new will or consider revising
an old one, and we wish every read
er, if he has only 80 acres of land,
would keep our admonition in mind,
Remember the community in your
will"
Not only should every man try to
make some gift to the community in
which he now lives, but every man
who has left his old home neighbor-
hood and prospered elsewhere ought
to remember that community in his
will. In fact, the old home neiphbor-
hood may need such remembrance
more than the one in which the pros
porous man now lives. This is es-
pecially likely to be true in the case
of a country-bred boy who has gone
to town. His town probably has rea-
sonably good church buildings, libra
ries, public auditoriums, ETC., while
ms old home community might be
helped at these points and others. Why
not clip out this suggestion and mail
1t to some worthy and right-spirited
man who has left your neighborhood
and done well elsewhere? Possibly
in revising his will at New Years
ne might put in something for the
community in which he and probably
his ancestors once lived-money foi
a church building, school building
Sunday school rooms, community au.
dltorium, or library; either providing
all the money needed or providing 8
certain amount on condition that the
citizens raise a certain amount.
Our country people in raising mon,
ey for community improvements. dC
not often ask enough support from
outsiders. Former residents SHOULD
give to such causes; men who owl
land in the community whether the,
live there or not, should give; anC
business men who draw their wealth
from country trade ought to be mad,
to realize that it is their duty Il
help the schools and churches Of tn,
country districts where their money
comes from, as we'll as help the town
where they live. And if a business
man is too stingy and lacking in pub
lie spirit to help reasonably in sucl
matters, he hardly deserves your pat
ronage.

WANTED-A MAN

"We want a man." says big cor
poration, advertising in this newspa-
per. Well, let's see what sort of a
man does it want.
A lazy man, a shirker a clock
watcher? No. 1t says he must be
an energetic hustler" No fellow
who is looking for an easy job, for a
soft snap, need apply.
A man who has become flat-chest-
ed, stoop-shouldered and sickly from
dissipation No. 1t says he must
have enthusiasm and ambition" and
the word ambition is in capital let
tiers. Also he must have earnest pur-
pose and common sense.
A man who is content to drift with
the tide? No. The advertisement
states that he must have a "good
personality" which means that he
must be likeable man man whom
other manly men will respect.
A college man? No, not necessa-
rily "a fair education" is all that is
required.
A man Of loose character? Nc
chance. He must have a "clear rec
ord"
A diffident, bashful, timid man
No, sir. This job is not for him. Nc
good job is or ever was for the shrink
ing, self-effacing, you-go-first sort OF
man. That kind never arrives
This job is for a man with full con-
fidence in his own ability" and that
accomplishment is left for the last
punch in the advertisement.
What's the pay? There's no linn
it. Go as far as you like. The man
who can fill this bill is the kind that
goes to the top, and they're scarce as
hen teeth. Big business is hunting
for this kind; and rewards them. A
firm in New York advertised recently
for a man to fill hundred thousand
dollar job and did not find him.
There are plenty of the other kind
though. Plenty of the ten-dollar- a
week kind; so many thousands of
them that they gang around the bot

WAR SAVINGS

"War Savings Stamps mark an
epoch in our national life. -Secre-
tary Of the Treasury McAdoo.
Many a successful business man
has said that the saving of his first
dollar was he most important single
act of his life; that it marked the
beginning o. a habit and a course Of
conduct 10 which he attributed his
success.
Something very analogous to this,
it is believed, is going to be the eff
feet on the American nation of the
War Savings campaign Not only
are millions Of individual citizens GO
ing to save, but this habit of econ
omy and saving is going to be a
collective movement not of individuals
alone but of the nation.
The habit of saving formed now
has a deeper incentive than ordinary.
We are saving now not alone for
selfish reasons, we are saving now
from patriotism, saving not alone
for ourselves, but for our country.
The combination of patriotism and
thrift is, indeed, going to make the
War Savings campaign an epoch in
our national life. 1t is not only GO
ing to be thing of tremendous ben
eft to millions of citizens, it is going
to be a thing of tremendous advan-
tage to the nation as a whole, and
affect our whole national life. 1t
marks the beginning of a new era
in American life, an era Of economy,
good sense and patriotism.
