Order Garden Seed
Early, Mr.. Farmer

Now is the time to begin with
gardens, says expert gardeners.
First see that the garden spot is
made fresh with an abundance of
nourishable fertilizer, adapted to the
crops to be raised. Then so cultivate
the ground that this soil food may
be properly taken in. This done the
seed proposition comes next. A noted
seed man advertises seeds that
grow" This quotation is sugges-
tive that there are seeds that will
not grow and the gardner with ex-
parience will readily verify this
statement. The reliable, up-to-date
seed man destroys all old seed and
gives to the trade only fresh seed,
grown from healthy plants. See that
such seeds are secured.
Should information relative to tina
farm or garden as a business be

Now that the election is over and
the excitement and uncertainty Incl
dent to it passed, It is time for us to
once more take up the shovel, the
trowel, the pen or whatever tool is
necessary to our work and COM
menco where we left OFF.
The reconstruction period has
been with us for nearly two years
and little has been accomplished
toward stabilizing business. We must
work-Work-WORK.
We must put more work into every
hour and more hours into every day
to serve as an example to other
workmen and the remainder of the
world. n
Let us do our utmost to make
progress and increase production.
We must work with not only our
muscles and brains, but put our
hearts into the task to speeding up
the world on the road to permanent
prosperity.
The world mems more Of every
thing. 1t looks toward us to pro-
duce.
Production alone will cut down the
cost Of living. Production means
work, an honest days work for the
farmer, the laborer, the mechanic,
the carpenter, the printer, the office
man, the stenographer, the office
boy.
The price of prosperity is work.
The price of eontentment is work.
Good, faithful service for good pay
is--the salvation Of America and of
| the world.
We are away behind on produc-
ton. Prices are soaring. The old law
Of supply and demand always works.
| It is grinding away. Increase the
supply by work and prices will come
within reach.
We have had entirely too much la
Dor agitation and shilly- shally, par
ley, delay, linger, wait and hope,
While the world starves.
The American worklnen have been
blind to the cause Of the high cost
Of living and have been endeavoring,
| too long, to boost themselves up by
