This story has its lessons to farmers
everywhere. There are some 400 ma
tional business mems organizations,
all supported literally, all doing eff
fective work for their membership.
Every big business has had a ma
tional organization except farming.
Food spectators believe in organi-
cation for themselves, but not for
the farmers. They hope you will
quit the Farm Bureau.
Our advice tosyou is to stick to the
Farm Bureau Federation. It is pro-
ceeding steadily and surely. 1t al
ready has accomplished some fine
results. 1t will accomplish many
more if still more farmers get back

from the members of the big ma

his financial journal. THE CouN-

THERE was time when babies
were dressed deliberately when
they were christened, whether
this took place In church or at home.
The christening robe was very long
and wrought with number of tucks
and ruffies and puffs. Nowadays
these elaborate christening robes have
quite gone out Of style among people
who keep abreast of manners as they
change. In fact the elaborate chris
