Worth Remembering.

Here is a good thing to remember:
when you get sore at the world,
don't forget that il will not hurt the
world at all. while II may do you in
conceivable harm" You are but a
very small part of this old world and
1t will wag along just about as well
without you as with you, so your com
plants are not going to make so very
much difference after all. Better keep
sweet and do what you can to make
conditions better instead of getting
grouchy because things do not go TO
suit you. The cheerful man gets far
ther than the crouch.

Now that the Sugar<Beet Growers
Associations efforts to win a new
price scale on the 1920 crop from the
sugar refiners by refusing to plant
beets have proven vain, the Michigan
State Farm Bureau has entered the
controversy with an entirely differ
ent program intended to obtain for
the beet growers more favorable
price for their product in 1921. Eff
forts will be made by the Farm Bur-
eau to establish cooperative sugar
beet refineries in the sugar beet ter
ritory between now and the time the
1921 crop is out of the ground.
This announcement was made by
representatives of the State Farm
Bureau at meeting of the directors
of the Sugar Beet Association when
their records for the year were closed
The beet growers directors appoint
ed committee to assist in execution
of the Farm Bureau program.
Reports presented at the meeting
and survey made previously by the
Farm Bureau showed that approx
mately only half of the normal beet
acreage in Michigan has been planted
this year, a condition that is sure to
curtail extensively the operation Of
the dozen factories refining Michigan
beets. Labor conditions all through
the beet district are so serious as to

indicate that even much Of the crop
in the ground is not apt to be placed
on the market. This labor shortage
was one of the main reasons for the
demand of growers for a new con-
tract, which would have provided foi
sliding scale dependent on the New
York market quotations and which
would have tended to equalize the
profits from beets between the grow
ers and manufacturers. Last year
the manufacturers are alleged TO
have made seven times the profit Of
the farmers on each ton Of beets.

NOVEMBER WINDS

November winds are harshly brawl-

through and in my bed I hear them
squalling around the window and the
flue. I hear them hammer at the
sashes, hear them spring the ancient
wheeze: "Stoke up your fire, shake
down the ashes, or all the hanging
plants will freeze!" November's voice
is wild and raucous, the genial zest Of
life it kills, and all night long it seems
to mock us, with the hints of coming
plumbers bills. BY day we hear No.
vember shrieking, and bear up well
beneath our cross, although we know
that autumn's sneaking, and winter
comes. a total loss. By day we have
our tolls and troubles to occupy our
divers minds; we saw our wood and
blow our bubbles, and give small heed
to wailing winds. But in the night.
with darkness round us, and ghost
seps creaking on the stair, the wild
wind seems to hunt and hound us,
and fill our bosoms. with despair.
There's nothing speaks more poignant
sorrow than bleak November's voice
at night; and SO we lie and wish the
morrow would come and bring its
helpful light.
