THE MATTER

What's the matter with America
these days?
Too many diamonds, not enough
alarm clocks.
Too many silk shirts. not enough
blue flannel ones.
Too many pointed-toed shoes, and
not enough squared-toed ones.
Too many serge suits and not
enough overalls.
Too much decollete and not enough
aprons.
Too many satin-upholstered limous-
ines and not enough cows.
Too many consumers and not
enough producers.
Too much oil stock and not enough
savings accounts.
Too much envy OF the results OF
hard work and too little desire TO
emulate il.
Too many desiring short cuts to
wealth and too few willing to pay the
price.
Too much of the spirit OF get while
the getting is good" and not enough
of the old-fashioned Christianity,
Too much discomfort that vents
itself in mere complaining and too
little real effort TO remedy conditions.
Too much class consciousness and
too little common democracy and love
of humanity.-Fargo Is. d. Forum.

BOOST YOUR TOWN.

An ideal citizen is one who sees
something good in his town and
spreads the good news abroad that
others may benefit therefrom.
OF course, there are other sidelights
to the ideal citizen, but the quality
of loyalty is one which produces tan
gible results.
There are three distinct attitudes
which a person many assume toward
the community which houses and
feeds him-to boost, to remain quies-
cent or to knock.
The booster pushes his town along
the quiescent citizen lulls it to sleep
and the knocker helps to put it out
of business.
Which are you?
Perhaps you have never given it a
thought. You may not realize your
self which you are-but your neigh
bors all know They have you &C
curately catalogued according to your
deserts.
If you are a booster, they admire
you, if you are quiescent, they won
der when you will emerge from youi
slumber; and if you are knocker
they yearn for the day when you viii
fold up your tent and silently fade
away.
Boost the home town and its citi-
zens will boost you.
Knock it, and you knock yourself

WHAT MAKES A
NATION GREAT?

Commerce makes nation great,
says the captain of industry. "A
large standing army" says the mill
tary authority. Schools" says the
educator A right spirit" the preach
er.
But let all these take heed. For
get not the importance of the plow
Without it railroads would become
streaks of useless iron and rust away.
Cities and towns would decay and
their names be forgotten. Social posi-
ton would become a legend and all
fame and distinction be obliterated.
History it little more than a record
of wars, privations and heroism, be-
cause these things kindle the imagin-
alton and make the blood run warm.
But, after ALL the tranquil arts OF hus-
bandry are what measure a nations
greatness, gauge its commercial pow
er. Without agriculture commerce
would die and the cottage give way
to the hunters cabin. Civilization be-
gins and end with agriculture.
Great is commerce, great are arm
les, wonderful is the power OF educa-
ton. But greatest of all is the plow.

FRANKLIN'S PERSONAL
PRINCIPLES

The seventeenth of this month
marked the 241th anniversary OF the
birth of BENJAMIN Franklin. And this
is a good time to renew the acquain-
tances with old Ben who was greater
even as a moral philosopher than as
statesman.
In a period of extravaganza and
spiritual restlessness, Ben Franklin's
voice has the welcome and helpful
sound OF a good parents voice to a
troubled child
When he was still young man,
Franklin wrote a set of principles
whereby to discipline his life. And he
kept books on himself giving himself
a black mark whenever he failed to
live up to one of his own rules. He
aimed to have a clean page every day.
Franklin's personal principles as set
forth in his Autobiography were:
Resolutions: Resolve to perform
what you ought; perform without tail
what you resolve.
Frugality: Make no expense but to
do good to others or yourself. Waste
nothing
Industry: Lose no time; be always
employed in something useful; cut OF
all unnecessary actions.
Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit
think innocently and justly, and if
you speak, speak accordingly.
Justice: Wrong none by doing in
juries or omiting the benefits that are
your duty.
Moderation: Forebear resenting in
juries as much as you think they de-
serve, avoid extremes.
Tranquility: Be not disturbed at
triies, or at accidents common or un-
avoidable.
Humility: Initiate Jesus and Socrat-
These make pretty good basic prin-
ciples for the reconstruction OF which
SO much is said and so little done
There can be solid national recons-
truction only on a strong foundation
of individual self-discipline and re-
sponsibility.
The seed catalogs are interesting
these winter evenings. especially II
your inclnations are toward country
life.

In the magazine circles, it is inter
esting to note that DR.. Charles M.
Sheldon has been made editor-in-chiet
of the Christian Herald, resigning his
pastorate in Tokeka, Kans., to take
up his new work DR.. Shelton is the
famous author of I'm His Steps"
which book has so far outsold every
other book OF the modern times with
the exception of the Bible and Bun
vans Pilgrim Progress" 1t has been
translated into twelve languages,
published by fifteen different publish
ers and sold to the extent of more
than 10000, 900 copies. So the readers
of the Herald have something worth
while in store for them as this cele-
brated writer and lecturer becomes
the head of that publication.

ANE RIGA FACING
CRISIS WARNING
Of FARM BUREAU
If Situation Is Not InteIIi-
gently Dealt with Our
Whole Social Order viii
Be ImperiIed, Claim.

Chicago Sept. 22.-The Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation, in
a statement tonight, summarizing
its investigation into business, in
dustrial and agricultural condi-
tons, declared that America 'is
facing an agricultural economic
condition, which, if not intelligent
ly dealt with, will lead to conse-
quences so grave as to affect all
industry to the point Of imperil-
ing the social order"
The statement says farmers must
be given immediate help in trans
portation, finance and labor, and
recommends the following as reme-
dial efforts:
Preferential treatment in trans
portatiOn to all farm produce held
for shipment and to all goods con-
signed to farmers which are nee
essary to conduct the business of
farming.
More profits for farmers, better
distribution systems which would
tend to eliminate middlemen. and
stabilized prices.
Ample finance with rural banks
assuming the obligation of tinauc-
ing the farmer with long and prt-
GRITTY credits.
Protection from wildcat in
vestments which were said to be
taking millions of dollars from
farmers annually.
Equalization of agricultural and
industrial labor wages, which the
statement declares can lie ac-
cCmplished only by lowering in
dustrlal wages or increasing farm
wages.
Encouragement of immigration.
