so many different managers, in
so many different ways, in so
many different communities
that it is no wonder that we can
find in every community lack
of good management. Farming
has more managers per $1,000
worth Of business than any other
business we can mention. Take
your own community, for ex-
ample, and count up the number
of farms. There is a manager
for each of them. In your COM
munity the general crops and
types of livestock are very much
alike. At least you are farming
in community where one Of the
following combinations is the
main source. of income, namely:
dairy and fruit; dairy and pota-
toes; beef, corn and hogs; small
grains and some stock; fruit and
some stock; or cotton or sugar
cane and some stock. Whatever

managers in a given community
should get together and map out
a general plan of farming which
their experience has shown to be
best adapted to the soil, climate
and market conditions of that
community.

make list of the main sources
of farm income on their farms.

and surplus livestock. Then ask
themselves what is limiting the
profits from dairying in their
community. what should be done
to increase profits. how much can
we do next year! Believe me,
when a group Of farmers sit
down to these questions they can

Have You Thought OF This?

Richard Spillbane, financial au-
thority, casting up balance sheet of
of the gains and losses which the ma
ton will experience as a result of
prohibition, says:
''If prohibition increases the pro-
duction of American workers 2 per
cent, it will on our present basis
more than pay all the revenue receiv-
ed by the federal, state and city gov
ernments last year from the liquor
traffic-and last years revenue was
more than double the normal. If it
increases production 5 per cent, it
will put America far, far ahead of
any nation on earth. And incidental
~ it will raise the human standard
higher than ever before-make for
better men, better women, better
children. All these factors in prohi-
bition are from a business view
point. THE Continent.

COUNTRY HAS GREAT FUTURE
Marvellous Fertility Of Brazil Is Bound

Geographically, the United States of
North America and the United States
of Brazil are somewhat alike But the
main river system of Brazil runs from
west to east, the tributaries OF the
mighty Amazon spreading out like a
fan In such wise as to facilitate water
communication with the most distant
parts of the interior, and to make the
coast cities outlets for the products
Of regions reaching back to the foot
hills Of the Andes.
1t is a country Of the future-a ter
ritory almost virgin, indescribably rich
and susceptible of wonderful devel-
opment. Nowhere else does the coffee
tree bear so bountifully, producing
four times the weight Of fruit yielded
by the plant In Mexico. Cotton and
sugar cane grow like weeds. Rubber
and the chocolate bean are already e.
ported in vast quantities. Fruits are
of almost infinite variety. A catalogue
has been compiled Of $4,000 species
Of wood (some Of them the most beau
tiful in the world found In the valley
Of the Amazon alone.

Chicago, H., May 15.-And so
they were married, the frosty-haired
governor general of the PHILIPPINES
and his school girl bride.
In the midst of rocking rumors,
hurried ocean voyages on the part
of opposing parents, diphteria germs
and health authorities with culture
swabs in hand, changes of the scene
and the date of the ceremony, the
nuptials of Francis Burton Harrison,
A, and Miss Elizabeth Wrentmore,
18, University of California student,
were solemnized at $50 O'Clock on
May 10 at the Blackstone Hotel
Meanwhile a resolute band of re-
porters stood outside the locked doors
of the Emmanuel Baptist Church,
where the ceremony was scheduled
and looked at the large sign peace" "
But at last the governor and his
bride relented
They emerged from the hotel
suite, where the briday dinner was in
amid bowers of pink roses
and palms.
The new and third Mrs. Harrison
is rather tall, athletic, with golden
brown hair, brushed airily back as a
"co-ed" might be expected to knot
up thick, ripping hair. Under the
long tulle veil it was arranged as
simply as for the class room at the
university, where she was student.
The girls eyes are dancing blue,
and she is rosy, vigorous, vital, with
exquisite teeth. She wore white
georgette crepe, adorned with a white
braided design, long mandarin
sleeves and no train. 1t was caught
at the front with pearl pin, in the
design of crown. She carried or
chids and valley lilies.
The wedding ring was sleek plat
mum band, the betrothal ring a large
cluster of diamonds.
There's been such lot of publ
city, such a horrid lot" she sighed.
The dignifed, white-haired governor
stood stiffly by, viewing the press
with "what-are-you-going-to -do-
about-it" air. He bowed most politely
on the subject Of congratulations.
"And how about me? You must
congratulate me, too" the young
wife insisted.
The history of this remarkable ro-
nance has been most tempestuous.
The brides father, who is dean Of
the University of Manila, and her
mama both objected strenuously. The
bridegroom confesses to "A years.
The final decree of divorce of his
second wife was granted today.
But the girl had will of her own
in face of parental opposition and
held out in favor of the elderly suit
or, whom she met last year at a
dance in Manila in the palace.
