COOPERATE WITH THE FARMER

'sToo many business men, am afraid,
have failed to appreciate fully the I'M
portance of agriculture or their depen-
dence on it. This has resulted, in many
instances, in lack of sympathetic under,
standing of the farmers problems and of
the difficulties confronting him not only
in producing his crops or live stock but
also in the marketing of his products.
Agriculture furnishes the basis of much
of the business of the country There
are many industries which are entirely
dependent on it, such as the manufac-
ture of farm implements and machinery,
the packing houses, the grain merchants,
and many others; and farm products, of
course play large part in Transporter
ton. Neither the business man nor the
farmer, therefore, can be genuinely and
permanently prosperous without the good
will and the material aid of the other.
WheneveE business man DOES anything
toward making the agriculture of his
section more profitable to the farmers,
he does something which will help his
own business, because there is not in the
United States any business center that
could continue to prosper Independently
Of the farming communities surrounding
it''-Edwin 7. Meredith, Secretary of
Agriculture

THE SKY PILOT.

THE SKY PILOT.
Oh, that had in the wilderness a lodS-
ing place Of Wayfar1ng men.-Jeremiah
DY THE wall of the busy city,
- In the midst of the market place,
Ye have lifted on high temple.
Ye have builded house of grace.
Amber and red the windows,
Marble and tile the floor
But l weep for a thousand pilgrims
far
Who never have seen the door.
Gorgeous the gilded altar,
Pleasant the cushioned pew,
Thrilling the chorused music
Ringing the cloister through,
Wonderful thing the sermon,
Grilling the creeds absurd
But I weep for thousand woodsmen
strong
Who never have known the Word.
Build me no mighty temple,
Build me no jeweled shrine
Build me house Of worship
Under the solemn pine.
I'll speak from rough-hewn pulpit
To men of a rOugh-hewn race;
And, with Gods great help, l will
bring them yet
With the Master face to face!

Most OF the taxpayers have no standard
by which to gam coMpI ehenSion OF what
81, 0OO, OOO, 900 means. TINS amount OF
money Is SO great 1t overWheimS the
imagination,
Yet there is one comparison which may
be useful In bringing home to everybody
the stupendous cost to the taxpayers of
their betrayal by Administration incom-
petentS.
In June, 1917, the first Liberty Loan

Four million five hundred thousand men,
women and children subscribed. Some
of them were poor, and their subscrIp-
lions meant for them privations. Others
subscribed more than they could afford
because the Government had to have the
money.
The first Liberty Loan was for exactly
81. 0O0, DOC, 900. or the amount which the
shipping transactions of the Administra-

waste and peculation.
The men and women who worked and
saved to buy the first Liberty Loan will
have at least an idea of what the scoun-
drels and incompetents have cost them
