Farmers do not always realize how
much OF their product they might
sell at their own doors to people
who come in automobiles. In these
times when so many people are

COOPERATIVE BUYING

Not merely Is there big move

ing but in some places farmers are
going in for cooperative buying,

so much for country towns II GER,

hurt local merchants.

to get a profit bv buying direct
from some wholesaler. But q profit
Gained at the expense OF local

People who go to cities to live
think they are going to have won

they chase around to theatres and
movie shows and parades, and think
they'e haying wonderful time OF
It. But very soon these things be

of these things were in their own

seem nearly so glorious after they
have had a little taste of them.

Friendship is about the finest
thing in life. The country is the
best place to make real friends.
There you have a chance to break
through the ice of reserve. Tie in

sorrow come, you have the hearty
handclasp that tells you that Others

The value of friendships like these
are incalculable. You would not
swap them for the finest mansion

money can buy them, and they grow
