abominably bad verse criminally bad
verse; execrable verse.
And inaccuracy is a great leveler-
like love and death and other less com
monty quoted Jewelers.; like wine and
war and repentance. For there is no
one. whoever he may be, however
learned or however ignorant, who may
NOT suddenly be found inaccurate.
And, what Is more. the same man will
he inaccurate in one period and accu
rate in another, entirely as the Spirit
chooses, and not as he chooses.
r ASTLY, inaccuracy has this great
IL and noble quality attached to it,
that it breeds real tragedy, and that Is
n finer thing than breeding mere stories
or even noble words. Try shouting
"port" down the decks when you mean
"starboard" in some narrow, crowded
fairway against racing tide and you
will find out what i mean; or, again,
inaccuracy in the setting of range,
repeating (as ] heard man do at
Chalons) 113 millimeters for 1.3 milli-
meters-and they plugged a village
church miles and miles outside the
camp.
In these matters that which was but
triAe or a comic accident takes on
majesty.
And of all the forms In which in .
accuracy builds up tragedy the best |
know is that form whereby the god
causes two letters to be put each into
the envelopes meant for the other. Out

speculative land boom. The big advan-
tage we have to offer to our prospective
land buyers is good land at reasonable
prices to actual settlers. No specula-
tors who would hold their land with

can keep our land in the hands OF
farmers or men who will improve it we
are ON the right track. Men who own
the large tracts of land here are not
advancing the price of their land any
more than the expense of handling it
and this is as it should be. Wild land
has advanced about $500 per acre in
the last three years on the average

a farm here today than ever before as

A TOPSY TURVY WORLD
BY the Farm Editor

The whole world is upside down from
the fact that men take advantage of
each other every time they get a chance
The cities have kept the price of farm
produce so low that farmers could not
make living wage for themselves to
say nothing of competing with the
cities in getting help to run the farms.
Good farm houses are being deserted
while their occupants are tiOcking to
the cities where wages of labor ranges
from $400 to $500 per day. and they
have to put up in miserable quarters
at constantly increasing prices for
rent. clothing. fuel and food. The
whole nation is getting top heavy and
the end will come with q crash like the
tipping over of load of hay. There
is no doubt but what it will have to
come and the sooner the better. Re-
adjustment will then proceed to take
place Men who are farmers will be
as the city wages are cut to an equal
ity with the earning capacity of the
farm. 7 h is REIMBURSEMENT cannot
come quick enough to make a big crop
this year. The corn belt states have
only One-half of the farmers on the
world. and the same situation is pres
pnt in the wheat. dairy and cotton
belt There is nowhere enough help to
produce the food necessary to feed the
people of the United States.
Labor and capital, when not fighting
each other over some preteXt or other
are making something to sell the farm
CT at eXh0rbitant prices, and figure on
steady trade. Notwithstanding the
fact that every man who raised a
steer. heifer. or hog in the United
States last year lost money on them.
The dairy men who supply the milk to
the city are going out of business be-
cause of The fact their milk is selling
ut about half what it ought to. to COM
pete with other fOodstuffS and union
wages. and they net loss every day
they operate their dairies on land made
ahnormally high ny land spectators.
Reports from New York state to the
effect that the abandonment of farm
life by men and boys in the last year
for the city has left more than $4,000
habitablp farm houses in the state va
cant.
Expecting the farmer to raise food
stuff for less than cost and charging
him an outrageous price for everything
he buys. puts the farmer out of bus
mess and will starve the city man in
time. Iowa is $4,000 farmers short
this spring which means about 800 TO
the county. The proportion in other
states is about the same The time
will surely come when the man who
owns and operates a Rusk county
farm will reap his reward.
I'm conclusion will say that until the
farmer has an equal chance to hire
help to compete with the other indus
tries. it is a sure thing that a large
per cent of those connected with these
industries will have a chance to go on
a hunger strike, which will last longer
than lot of the strikers.
