 Clean Movies for the Farm
 The American Farm Bureau Fed eration has now on exhibition two five-reel films of farm life. One of these is Spring Valley" This film was the first venture and has proven a great success. The actors for this film were farmers, the producers were farmers. Cor farmers and by farmers was the underlying princi- pie of filming the story.
 The "Old Homestead" was the next film out. These pictures were shown at the Atlanta convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation and met with great approval from | the delegates assembled from all over | the United States.

ARE YOU DOING
 YOUR OWN PART?

Mir. Farmer are you attending the Farm Bureau meetings being held regularly in your community Or are you staying home hoping someone else will do the work necessary to make your chance to succeed possi- ble. In every community we find people always willing to stay on the outside and criticise those who are trying to better conditions for them selves and community. We find these same people always ready to take all the benefits brought about by the other fellows effort But never will ing to get in and help pull the load. We hope this shoe does not fit you. We find others who say they would be glad to join in but they know it's no use. As farmers won't stick. This is to say that if everybody was like you you could have no organization. When I hear a man talking like he is the only man in the county that would stick and because he knows there's no use trying to do anything, because there's. no use trying to do anything, because the other fellow wont stick. I always tell him he is the man that wont stick and I have his number about nine times out of ten. The Farm Bureau is a business organization for farmers. Its business IS lo luTHlSn dl OISdHlZdtlOu lnIOuSH which farmers can collectively work out the problems that are common to all, but which cannot be worked out singly. And it is the duty of every farmer to join in and help with the job. We don't think a farmer should have to be coaxed and persuaded to do the things necessary for his own interest and we hope there is no farmer in your county that will have to be coaxed out to a meeting with a dougnut Let's have no slackers. Everybody do his or her bit for the cause.

PE|VDERGAST SCHOOL COURSE COMMENDED

Dr. A. J. Mathews. president of the state normal school at Tempe. Ari- zona, after making q survey of the Pendergast schools. writes as fol- lows: T have carefully examined the course of study of the Pendergast schools for the first two years of high school work and consider it one of the best that have been filed in our office. It correlates closely with the junior high school work offered by the Tempe Normal school and, in my opinion, would be heartily en- dorsed by the best authorities on curriculums for the freshman and sophomores years of high school.

ization. Our fear is that too often the County Farm Bureau and the farmer himself look to the federation to do things for themselves.
 "The year through which we have just passed has been the most dis astrous of American Agriculture. You know this as well as I. And the cause of it all you have both fre- quently discussed yourselves and have heard discussed yourselves and have heard discussed by others on many occasions. A world war fol- lowed by too rapidly forced deflation and an unbalanced production spell the principal causes. The war itself was crime-the rapid deflation un- necessary-the unbalanced produc- ton disastrous alike to agriculture and business.
 There is no doubt that the fiercest blow has struck the farmer. Our whole national structure must soon if not already get the reaction. When the pillars were crushed the temple crumbled and disaster followed.

THE FUNERAL
BY OR. FRANK CRANE tCopyright, 1921, by Frank Cranel

The other day man in New York observed the fu- neral of his wife by cremang the body and scattering the ashes to the four winds
 The ceremony took place at twilight at place on Staten Island.
 The family close relatives and few intimate friends were present.
 The sister, at the conclusion of the service, being interviewed said that the place chosen by her brother was Out Doors since the free air seemed to him the fitting place to send the dust of who had gone out of the world that the location secluded from the public gaze that there spring flowers and budding green things all around that twilight had always been symbol of the turning point from sphere to another and that the ceremony secret and in way public
 Funerals matters of the most intimate taste and of the most unreasonable prejudces People resent having the question discussed For this reason the most tyrannous custom has SuIned control of them

wholly a surprise o many his British auditors imagine had discussed his speech with British statesmen as he with President Harding. And perhaps it will create less comment in England than it will in America.
 it will be regretted by thousands of Americans that the United States has been mtted to such position of a1oofness. They had hoped that way might be found in which this country might aid in untangling the web in which the whole world has been caught; in arriving at basis of real permanent peace. They will learn with that we have nothing to offer but well wishes, sympathy and perhaps good offices whatever they may be.
 The ambassador we sure erred in repeating what he and so many other Americans had said be- fore. that the policy which he announced Thurs day night adopted in obedience to the mandate of million voters If the ambassador. the presi dent and those who have agreed that policy believe that that mandate from the voters they will do right in adhering to it for government must obedience the majority.

It also the democratic candidate the presidency forced to accept it the issue and further it is true, the republicans cheerfully well comed it the issue. Never before in the history of American politics did political leaders of the two parties so nearly unanimously choose a battlefield
 But do think that the mass of the people comparatively large number of the people garded it the issue Thousands republicans who favored the League of Nations voted their ticket and thousands of democrats who opposed the league voted their party ticket. Thousands of democrats the party line of dissatisfaction with the democratic administration, not because of what it proposed do with respect to the League of Nations but of it's proved incompetence the things it had failed to do-for the good of this country.
 Still larger thousands for these reasons. not caring way another about future foreign relations. voted the republican ticket. They voting against Wilson. the American president and not against Wilson, the Covenanter.

RARE k,PLiNe WORKS

The sale of the Martindell collec- tion of unique and rare first editions of Kipling which was held at Sothe- by's in London recently has discov- cred to Kipling collectors many works which were not known to be in ex- istence.
 Capt. E. w. Martindell began the collecting of Kiplings works many years ago and has gathered together not only first editions but the maga zines and newspapers in which aru- cles and stories first appeared, and also many portraits. cartoons and pamphlets about the author. One of the most interesting of these is a pen and ink drawing signed F. H. A., representing Kipling assisting at a flower stall of a charity bazaar.
