MONEY ON THE FARM

Money, actual cold hard cash, is
about as useful on a farm as good
disc harrow or a reaper and binder
would be in a bank. Old 81 Tuttle
used to tell a tale about farmer
Of the old school who always kept
several thousand dollars around the
house because it might come in
handy some day." Nobody ever
found the money come in handy un-
til prowling tramp one night ne
gotiated the woodshed roof and a
back window, and the cash became
what Old 81 called "a total loss with
no insurance" 81 used to say that
no farmhouse was ever built with a
safe deposit vault.
a bushel of seed corn is no earth
ly use to anybody if it is simply put
in a bag and slowed away. To get
results out of that seed it must be
put where it will work-where it can
grow. Good rich ground is the only
safe place for seed corn If you want
TO get results.
You can't get results out of money
by keeping it in your pocket, in a
! stocking. in wallet, or in a bed.
Money will work and money will
grow but it will only work and grow
when it is put in the proper place.
The place for money is in business,
in solid, safe, sound, reliable bus
mess, either an individual business
or the business of the nation. Safe
ly invested money will bring prompt
and adequate returns in the form of
interest That is why the govern
ment is offering every American the
opportunity to put himself on the
road to financial independence by
investing his savings in War Saw
ngs Stamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates, an absolutely safe in
Festment guaranteed by the govern
nent.

total loss. You can't spend It in

Journals Position on Teaching Spanish
In Schools Is Endorsed Blu Educator

Editor Morning Journal;
Bully for you, CAN apologies to our
revered Teddy for your sensible ar
Spanish in our schools
SO much rot is gratuitously handed
out by both English and Spanish
speaking scribblers who want to get
into the lmelight that the subject is
but fair way. What the native sons
need is education. The advance must
ever be from the known to the un-
known. Patriotism. as you have said,
is a state of mind 1t is an insult to
the loyal Spanish speaking people
that the grammatical acquisition of
their own tongue through proper
methods would tend to make them
| less loyal to the country of their
! breeding should they be tutored in
the language of their home. Any
teacher who is so witful as to deal
out sedtion to n student body through
the cloak of foreign tongue would
! try TO do as much in plain English.
! What sad comment on our teach
| ing in New Mexico that today in our
rural Spanish speaking districts our
native sons neither learn the use Of
correct spanish nor Go tneS get any
thing worth while in the English
| tongue.
If such is the case (and it isl isn't
| that the best argument that our
methods of reaching this part of our
| young citizenry is altogether wrong?
If in spite of this circumstance the
/ Spanish sons of New Mexico have
been remarkably loyal to the country
of their adoption and of which they
| are an integral part, then how pre-
posterous to assume that because
their tongue should be taught them
in correct way as vehicle to the
other language that this should mill
tate against their patriotism.

about it. They do not apprehend that

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL
(B0rn February %, 1Si9)
o Q o . 80 . . . Q . . . . . .


James Russell Lowell has been pro-
claimed by critics to be Americas
strongest poet He fails of being great
est in the volume and range of his
achievement His work. too, is UNI
even, and much of Il lacks artistic
completeness and finish. But in its
best phases it is strong. virile and in
spring to a degree not reached by
any other American poet.
Lowell was born in Cambridge
Mass. and was descended from Per-
cival Lowell of Bristol, England, who
settled in Newbury, Mass, in 1889
and became the progenitor of one of
New England's most distinguished
families.
At 10 the poet was graduated from
Harvard. For ten years thereafter he
wabbled between business, medicine.
the ministry and the law, unable to
decide upon profession. When he
finally chose the profession of law he
counted it rather a joke.
Then came an earnest purpose of
life, through love of the girl who be-
came his wife-Miss Maria White, an
exceptionally gifted and noble young
woman. Their marriage was one of
ideal happiness; they lived simply,
but together they enjoyed the world
of books and of nature.
After nine years of perfect happi-
ness death claimed the young wife,
and Lowell was left desolate. Time,
however, brought it's balm to his sore
heart, and he devoted himself to more
earnest literary study.
| In 1916, at the time of the war
with Mexico, Lowell began to write
| x,-l,i Il
| as the rare work of a Yankee poet.
Their success marked the turning of
| the tide in the poets fortunes.
! In 1855 he succeeded Longfeliow as
professor of modern languages at
| Harvard. For twenty years he con-
/ tinued his PROFESSIONAL work, and as a
| teacher no man. not even Longfellow
was ever more popular or more hon
ored.
In 1857 he became the first editor
of the Atlantic Monthly and at once
enlisted in his service the flower OF
New England genius and ability, in
Guiding Hawthorne, Holmes, Emer-
son, Iongfellow, Whittier Agassiz
and others.
In 1877 Lowell was appointed by
J President Hayes United States minis
/ ter at Madrid, for which post he was
emnently fitted by his learning, his
accomplishments, his character, and
| his dignified yet courteous manners.
In 1850 he was transferred to Lon
! don. 1t is scarcely too much to say
that as American minister to Britain
he was successful and popular to q
degree till then unequaled.
The poets second marriage, like his
first, was a happy and congenial one
the wife having been Miss Frances
| Dunlap, of Portland, Me.
| After resigning from the diplomatic
service in 1885, Lowell devoted him
! self to writing and to travel His
4 death occurred at Elmhurst. the Cam
bridge house IN which he was born
| on October 10. 1891

FARMERS COMBINA TIONS.

Farmers are taking much more
kindly to the idea of combination than
they did a few years ago. Not long
in the past it was with great diff
Guilty that farmers could be induced
to go into cooperative schemes Of
marketing. They were afraid some
one would get too big a salary or
prove dishonest or incapable.
AS an Illustration of the greater
frendlincss of the farmer to co-opera-
ton, a dispatch from Lancaster, Pa,
was interesting. 1t told how the to-
bacco growers of that county have
just held the largest meeting of their
history, and have organized a stock
company to buy. pack and sell the to-
bacco of the county. Twelve hun
bred growers got together and quickly
subscribed $4,000. That could not
have happened ten years ago.
The general public looks on such
movements with some suspicion. 1t
regards them as movements to get
higher prices. At this meeting it was
noted that all the growers were anX-
ious to learn how they could get high
er figures for their product.
But that end of the proposition will
take care of itself. There will always
be competition, both in raising and
marketing farm products. No com
bination of growers can keep sprices
up artificially. The main thing is that
the farmers shall get the idea of CO.
operating in efforts to do things on
large and standardized scales. That
must inevitably tend to reduce, costs
and prove of benefit both to produc-
ers and consumers.
Even if these tobacco growers do
get bigger prices for their product. il
is doubtful if it comes out of the con-
sumer. Their selling association will
tend to sell direct to agencies close to
retail distribution, which should cut
out much of the costs of the middle
men.
