FARMING NOT HELPED BY DISTORTION OF
 TRUTH

attainable by people we call rich" Third By the use of only average industry and fsbrains" so operate tnar farm as to "prodzce an, income adeauate for all reasonable family requirements, pay for upkesp and improvements, and show at the end of each year at least six per cent. net cash on the original in- vestment"
 HAese results, in his yiew,~are not only easily secured but actually secured by the farmers of the country Wherefore and whereupon, he declares those farm CTS to be the most. prosperous men in the world today.
 Since he actually believes. this, he surely has the right to say so. He has the right to defend his assertion with word or pen or sword or lance But, Oh! that he and those fellows who follow him might only be pitchfork- ed over the shield by some just fate and compelled to look at the other side for. say, ,~six or eight years; just long enough to open their eyes fully to it's real color
 Until that happens he is not, i've must respectfully maintain, authorized to speak quite so emphatically as he does. So long as he sees but one side of the paint ed shield he is less fitted to describe the other side than we who live all our lives in view of it.
 Indeed, it seems to me a little more than queer that in his long and somewhat repititional summary of the farmer S blessings he has mentioned but one which is both important and true He says that the farmers occupation is 'the only one developing the best all-round men moral ly, mentally and physically" As he puts it. even this is not correct. If he had said that the farmers life affords "an opportunity for developing the best all round men9 he would have come nearer the mark. There is a wide difference be- tween an opportunity and an attainment l That the farmers life gives room ant scope for such development as he assumes 1 we have often argued in these talks, but

YESTERDAYS HEROES

hero is great guy-so long as he is hero. But he no sooner begins to totter down toward the twilight than he finds the world turning from him to cheer some new aspirant com ing up. And he is lucky if he even catches the echo of few signs of re- gret at his passing. We are prone to forget what men have done in our haste to cheer what men are doing.
 Just now New York is getting up on it's hind legs to cheer Babe Ruth. Ten years ago it cheered just as Justly for Chrsty Mathewson, one of the out standing figures of the baseball world for half a decade. Yet just week or so ago Mathewson. one of the big figures of baseball, quietly and almos. wholly unnoticed stepped forever from the game to which he had added so much. and thus far we haven't read a single printed word of regret at his passing. Those who cheered apparent ly have no time for regrets-they are too busy cheering somebody else.
 Ten years from now, probably. the same fate awaits Babe Ruth. Those, who cheer now may still be cheering then--but 1t will be in the general direction of some new bird who is flut- terng toward the pinnacle.-Philadel- phia Inquirer.
