A BIRTHDAY MEDITATION

Sure a birthday is just like any
day, of course That is what any
youth will tell you who has had fifteen
or twenty of them. But when a fellow
has had lot of them, say ffty-well,
birthday is just like any other day,
but it causes the owner Of it to do a
lot of thinking.
Who among the men and women
can, upon birthday, realize that just
so many years ago he or she was not
in existence? That at a certain NOM
ent he began life in strange world,
with people about him he did not
know, with future before him he did
not understand-frail and weak and
helpless. And who among us count
for the years that have flown, or de-
termine where the years have gone?
How we have managed to come
through alive, when there has been
so much death about us-how we
have escaped so many disasters that
have fallen to the lot of others in
these days gone by--we do not and
cannot understand.
Birthday after birthday has rolled
around with you-and it may be that
this is one of them If it is your birth
day, then sit down and thank God for
your escape from the multitude of dis
asters that have passed you by-and
remember upon this-yOur birthday,
as you may not have remembered
throughout the years, her who gave
you life just 50 many years ago today.

PLENTY OF FOOD

We have greater variety of foods
in this country than is 10 be found in
any other country on earth. Not only
do We have more foodStuffS-food in
greater quantitieS-but the average
American consumes a wider range of
foods than does the inhabitant of 9th
er lands.
As a matter of fact the variety of
foods in most lands is very limited.
The Hindo knows no other food than
rice. The Chinaman and the Japan
ese have a commodity or two besides
rice, In some regions fruit is used
exclusively, and in many lands bread
and potatoes constitute the chief item
of diet But here. in this good land of
ours, We have practically every food
that is to be had in any other land.
Take the table of the average man
day in and day out, and note the many
commodities which are consumed.
Or, better still, go to the grocery and
look over the shelves. Food from
every nook and corner of the earth,
besides the many different kinds pro-
duced in this glorious country. A doz-
Ell kinds of meat, fifty kinds of veg
fruits of every known variety
on earth-was ever there a nation of
people That had the privilege of Sc
lecting the daily diet from such a list?
Was ever there a people that should
so much the privilege of
living in a land where if the appetite
Graves any one thing it is possible to
get it right here at home?

ONE MAN FARMS

In conversation with a well-knOwn
citizen of certain town a few days
ago he expressed the belief that the
tendency all over this country to re-
duce the size of farms is a move in
the right direction. He argued that
the most profitable farm n the world
is a small farm, a one-man farm, as
he calls it. He said it is more profit
able because its cultivated more close
ly. And then we told "a farmer friend
about the conversation and he gave US
something to think about. He said:
ITS folly to talk about dividing up
the land in this country into one-man
farms. The 300 or 400 acre farm can
kcan still be operated at a profit, even
vt the high cost of labor Besides,
the division of the land adjusts itself;
it cannot be done by legislation. The
big farms will be split up when it is
to the advantage of the owner to do
so, and not until then, and men will
secure for themselves a one-man farm
when they find they can live better
and hav more of the comforts of life
that way than in any other way"
It's an interesting subject, and a
live topic all oyer this country today
the one-man farm and we invite our
readers to express their opinions, at
reasonable length, through these col
umns.

APPLES AND oRHARps

The city boy has a long time asso,
cidted the apple with the fruit stand
and has seldom thought of it in the
terms of an orchard. And we feel
safe in saying that at the present rate
1t won't be long before boys in towns
The size Of this will be doing the same
thing.
Travel this section OF the state over
ana you'll find that a young apple or
chard is a rarity. And this is largely
due to the fact that today We expect
quick returns on our Investment, a
thing apple culture does not offer. One
must plant an apple tree and then
wait ten years to realize on his invest
ment-but figures show that the in
Vestor is paid handsome profits from
that time on for many, many years.
Another thing which has cut the
American apple crop is the spirit of in
difference with which one treats a
tree. 1t takes ten years for an apple
tree to come to maturity and one
would think that after that time they
would be carefully guarded and cared
forBut they are not. Some farmers
will spend a whole day trying to save
the life of runt pig and not devote as
much as ten minutes a whole year
TO looking after an apple tree. And
yet one good, sound, healthy apple
tree is worth twenty times as much

When the farmer takes as much in.
terest in spraying his apple trees as
he does in vaccinating his hogs he will
not be oblidged to pay someone else a
fancy price for growing his apples.
And he will also find that his bank ac.
count will grow a whole lot steadier

the concerted view of the Allies that
the presence of the Former EN-
peror in Holland was a danger to the
peace of Euro. e. The Note does not
make any requests Of Holland, but
it is oped that the Dutch Government

give up the EX-Kaiser, 1t is minated
that T. OlIand has not received a sugges-

might be willing to intern the former
Emperor outside of Europe. A new note
to Ger many with regard to the Allied eX-
tradition demands is also being prepared.
