THE FUTURE

A young man said, "If there was
only some way l could see my self in
the future, how much easier it would
be now We can see ourselves in the
future if we are willing to make an
honest inventory of our intentions.
Here are few formulas to go by.
If | am thrifty, honest and interest
ed in my neighbors | am pretty sure
of a home, good income and many
friends in after years.
If | am selfish, grabbing and look
ing after my own interests, only, the
future will contain money in plenty,
perhaps, house and a few acquaint-
ances who avoid me except when my
position or my money will benefit
them.
If | want to do big things and am
willing to make the sacrifices to at
tain my desires, I'll get them.
And, so on through a great long list
of IFS that will show you what you
VIII be III years TO come.
But, you must be honest with YOUR
self in looking ahead You've got to
go beneath your daily attitude toward
life and find out if the attitude is
grounded on solid rocl. Otherwise
the formula will not work.

100000 MEN wANTEDl
Do you want work ?
MN


Well
Kansas needs 100000 harvest help
ers to save the wheat cropi Such
news was printed as regularly as the
summer came in the years before the
war. Sometimes the laboreF who
wendell his way from Indiana or Illi-
nois to wallow in the opulence of S.
a-day wages found that the reports
of labor shortage were bit exagger-
ated, yet the call is loud and insistant
now.
There was fear that this year might
be an exception. Rehabilitation has
now advanced far and war work, at
which hundreds of thousands were
employed has ceased. Now is the
time when the nation ought to be in
the throes of acute industrial difficult
ties caused by labor surplus, il the
predictions of the croakers, and of
some others not usually known as
such, are to be justified. 1t appears
that there Is not to be any general
scarcity of jobs as a result of the shift
to peace conditions. Employers con-
tinue to call for labor that they can
not get; employees continue to strike,
unmoved by the fear that others will
be found to take their jobs; the help
wanted ads continue voluminous, and,
finally, to establish the situation I'M
mistakeably, comes the cry from Kan
sas for 100000 harvest workers.
For the sake of next years bread
it is to be hoped that the necessary
help will be Forthcoming. The en-
plOyment bureau of the labor depart
ment, if it is worth hurrah, should
be able to aid the Kansas farmers
