Advertising is one of the interesting feature of
the newspaper. Live advertising helps to make
it a fine, interesting, readable sheet The right
kind of advertising will bring you results, build,
up your stores reputation, bring trade in to buy
the things you want to sell.
The local newspaper is always booster of the
buy-it-at-home policy. Back it up, then, in this
good work by making your advertisements SO re-
gular in appearance and full of live store news,
that there will be some valid reason for the home
buying argument.
The advertising manager of one of Americas
largest mail order houses recently told large
convention of advertising men that his company
maintains "a bureau whose duty it is to read each
week, the weekly papers from all over the coun-
try. This bureau looks over these papers and

production and prosperity in industrial and agri-
cultural labor. Hardheaded and thinking men,
they are not carried off their feet BY the seductive
program Of agitators Laborers and capitalists,
too Independent producers, they are little sub
iect as class to the rash communicative ardor
Of thoughtless crowds. In spite Of many sue
cessive movements and agitators, they see their
own interest and they never lose their perception
of the general public interest and their devotion
to American institutions. Even temporarily for
midable socialistic prospects such as those Of the
nonpartisan league lose their strength as their
real purpose becomes clearer.
The Farmers National Congress, which has
been in session at Hagerstown, Nd, passed some
resolutions instructive for reproof and admoni-
ton to the radical labor leaders at present SO
perniciously active The assembled farmers
pledged themselves to q "steadfast support of the
free institutions of the American government"
and declared the conservatism of the American
farmer bulwark of national defense against the
dangerous foreign influence at work today" They
offered their help to "honest organized labor"
but denounced the "treason of false leaders who
for pay and price would scuttle the ship of stafe
and rear the red flag Of bolshevism of the ranks
Of an outraged and fallen republic" The revolu-
tionists, imported and domestic, may ponder these
pronouncements.
Striking straight and hard al prevalent delu-
sion or illusion, the Farmers National Congress
says:
We know the A hour week cannot feed
the world, and we proclaim that it cannot
clothe It. Those who advocate the short
day in industry should not expect the
farmer to work "six hours before dinner
and six hours after with before supper
and breakfast hours thrown in.
The farmers evidently regard honest organized
labor as labor that is willing to do an honest
days work, that seeks to increase and not dim
inish production. The congress recorded It's op-
position to "al strike and favored the establish
mert of a federal board of arbitration that would
give both capital and labor square deal" A
small minority of radicals fought hard against
the adoption of these sensible and patriotic reso-
lutions, and left the hall after the vote Opinions
like theirs will be in hopeless minority in any
assembly, of American farmers. Amid so much
clamor of foreign propaganda it is refreshing
and consoliing to hear this clear and strong voice
of American producers and conservative patriots
On the same day we heard that the Barvarian.
farmers had resolved to send food to towns
where radicals are in revolt and to join the Citi-
zens Guards and march, if necessary, against such
soviet infested towns. In Germany, TOO, the good
sense and the innate conservatism of farmers
are strong guarantee against the eycesses of
industrial revolutionsts.

LIFE HOLDS SO MUCH.

life holds so much of beautys best
sTis only we who fall the test
Who with our wavering will go down
Inst missing the immortal crown.
The rich earth and the plunging sea,
The soft comnotion of the tide,
The fringed exuberance of the tree,
The coverts where quaint blossoms hide
The often quiet haunts of song.
Where rare bravures sometimes leap
From throa.s of ltimid feathered throng-
And we so often clods that sleep
Last night the moon in glorious flare
Rode over earth in queenly guise,
A mystic radiance in her hair,
The silver princess af the skies
Today the sun in lordly state
Decked earth with such lovely light
And we in wrangle and debate
Go chained unto worldly flight!
Oh. mockery of the law most high,
That men should waste the beauty given
To make us brethren of the sky
And our green earth lesser heaven
Come out along the marge of things,
Shake off the binding CHAINS or form:
All day the lovely lnnet sings,
And down the twilight breaks the storm.
Be children of the freshening grace
That beauty plants most every place,
And stirred from self cast free the soul
To take the prizes of the race
And make our part perfect whole!
The gods are good and all is well,
The slopes are dipping ito the strand,
And life has so much love TO tell,
And joy is in the rosy land!
We need tempest now and then
To stir us to the sense of might,
And time has always need for men,
And always somewhere burns the light.
The world is vocal with wild joy.
The glades are garnished for the feast
OF beauty-leave the base alloy
And grasp each blessing large or least.
Put forth across the seas of dream,
And with adventuring soul release
The thought that flashes like, beam,
The faith that brings eternal peace.
