Stem By Step

In a dull. hazy way you've always
dreamed about what you would be
some day. You've got your object in
life firmly fixed in your mind, you
say, and have never lost sight of It.
But let me ask you, "Are you merely
looking at it, or are you fighting your
way to it?"
Yes, you're working, plugging along
each day, but you're making work of
your work and you're going round in
a circle. Step by step is the way up
ward, the next step only after you
have mastered the step below.
Success can be attained only by a
steady climb-not by jumps or sud-
den fights. You'll never reach the
peak of Wonder mountain until you
have climbed over the hills this side
of it.
Possibly you are looking to far
ahead. Then sit down and ask your
self. what is the way to my objec-
tive?"
The successful general maps out
every inch of the path to any point
he wants to reach. Map out your
way. Take your eyes off of the noun
tain you are trying for. What is there
between What are you trying for?
Do you want to be the head of your
department? The sales manager, the
shop foreman, the superintendent ?

Now the average WELD is for this
state, Is bushels and the average cost
per bushel is 1884 and the price at
present is around 1925 or about

Now what the farm bureau hopes
TO do is to so organize the industry
as to insure the producer cost Of pro-
duction and supply it to the consum-
er plus only the actual cost of get
ting 1t there and eliminate all the
waste POSSIBLE and it needs the sup
port of the consumer to bring about
those ends.
And do not think and one who is
capable of rendering a real service
and giving value received need have
and fear of the farm bureau.
Yours truly,
Ernest z. Chicke ing.
We should like to call particular
attention to the second paragraph in
Mr.. Chickering's letter, wherein he
speaks as to whether or not the ar
the "Tradesman" expresses the views
of the Banner-News.
We want to make our position in
the matter clear at this time. The
article published was the first we had
read of it's nature and the current of
thought which it produced flowed
so directly opposite of any previous
article which we had read regarding
the Farm Bureau that we thought it
the duty of the Banner-News to its
farm readers to carry the article.
Quite frequently when we carry ar
ticles purely as news matter, some of
our readers are bound to think that
the ideas conveyed in the articles
are those Of the editor of the paper,
when it is not the case at all and we
are merely trying to render a service
to our patrons i'm publishing both
sides of question.
We believe, however, we have as
much right to an opinion as any one
else and even should the "Tradesman"
article on the Farm Bureau have been
heartily in accord with our own
thoughts, our opinion is that Mr..
Chickering and our readers in gen.
eral could have held an opposite view
point without any serious rupture in
the friendship which should exist be-
tween a people and the man who is
editing their paper.
| In this connection we aso wish to
thank Mr.. Chickering for his very
intelligent answer and we can only
commend him for it. We are of the
opinion that if more farmers and
other people in general made use of
the columns of the Banner-News to
circulate their ideas and opinions
that the paper could serve its read
ers in still greater capacity and be
greater power for good than ever
before.

Continued from page one)
Is the system, or rather lack Of sys-
tenn to which we object and want
changed. Any system of distribution
will require agents and those with
experience will be valuable, provided
they will cooperate with the producer
and consumer to make it efficient.
The man we wish to eliminate is
the SPECTATOR and gambler wo cares
for neither producer or consumer, the
man buys for as little as possible and
sells for all he can get, without any
regard as to what it cost to produce
it. If they can get it for less than 1t
is worth that is good business and If
he can sell it for more than it is
worth that is good business and you,
Mr.. Consumer, and !, the producer,
pay the bill.
As to the wool situation don't think
for minute that all the wool could
have been sold for 80 cents per pound
at shearing time. A few could have
sold perhaps, but not many. If they
could have done so the market would
not have broke.
1t looks to me as though the spec
plators were sore because the farm
bureau helped the wool growers pre-
vent them from getting it all for rs
cents with out any regard as to what
it cost to produce it.
Now as to the Gamers, their ex-
cuse for failing to function is this:
They were unable to go out and sell
the goods before they were produced.
don't know but that was all right
and proper but it hadn't ought to be
necessary to gamble with the neces-
sites of life and the ones who store
the peoples food supply ought to be
insured with pay for that service, but
why shouldn't the man who produces
it be insured for his market also. His
part requires the largest and longest
investment and the greatest inavoid-
able risk of any of the line.
To illustrate, last fall, year ago,
the farmer went out and prepared for
the wheat, with which to make the
bread we will all eat for the coming
year and this is what it meant before
the crop is sold.
For convenience we will use the
acre as the unit and will figure it at
the going wages although an item for
overhead which was prepared 3 or a
years ago, it would perhaps nearly
double now.

DETROIT, Dec. 31-Henry Ford says Senator Newberry of Detroit indicted by the United States grand jury for the alleged misuse of money in connection with the Senatorial election, was victimized by the bio interests. Relative to the Mexican situation, Ford said: The Mexi- can situation is something that has got to be settled and right now. Intervention is nearer than the pub lie thinks. Mexico is a vast un- developed part of the world and it must be opened up to modern de- yelopment. American capital and American brains will do it. There are two big interests in this coun- try that we have to take our hats off to. They are the Standard Oil Company and the United States Steel Corporation. They could go down into Mexico and do more to open [ up to civilization than could be lone by any other agency ia 100 years.

 Captain Loop has not determined, however, to establish a whale dairy; he merely made that announcement because Arthur de Ell, of GOT North Eighteenth street, Omaha Neb.. who had heard of the seaman's knowledge of whales and a small cargo of the lacteal fluid of leviathans that he re- gently brought to Southern California, sent request 'reseving" sample of the milk.
