FARMERS PULLING THRU.

1t is too early to speak with full as
surance but the indications are that
there will be another year of large
earnings for the agricultural states.
The farmers are likely to benefit ma
terially from the arrangements under
way to organize marketing operations
so as to yield them a more liberal net
profit on the business. Given bountt-
full crops the farmers can be depended
upon to work their way out of the
difficulties with which they seem to
think they are beset.
Meantime nothing is to be gained by
an exaggerated cry of hard times. In
q. discussion of the situation writer
in Farm Life" says:
Conditions have been much worse
in different sections and at different
periods in the past. within the memory
of men now living. But we have for
gotten the old troubles. and we are
in the mood now to notice and agon-
ize over matters that we would not
pay much attention to in normal
times.
At any rate, we cannot help matters
by an abject surrender-by running
around and telling one another tales
OF troupie. we tHoSt NVtA out OuA
own salvation. 1t is useless to pass
the hat" and expect the public, or the
government to make good our losses
or insure our future profits. The ma
ton cannot underwrite every man who
goes farming and protect him from
loss. 1t cannot boost prices against a
world condition. even II it were willing
to try SO doubtful an experiment
The nation cannot extend credit
where credit IS not due or lend money
where there is no hope of repayment.
1t cannot guarantee against bad judg-
nent, or shiftiessness. 1t is admitted
now that a large per cent OF the
farmers are ''weathering thru"-and
while everybody is sorry for the ten
ants and farm owners who suffered
losses, it is absurd to say that "agrl-
culture is flat on its back in the
gutter"

THE OLD SOLEMN PARLoB.

I want to see 'em romPing on the rug ara
on the chairs,
And / rather like to fancy that the homs
we keep is theirs;
I like q house that's ready for the things
they want to do, -..
Not one that's stiff and solemn where the
furniture is new:
Let 'em bang at the piano, let 'em go 1t as
they choose,
There is nothing here SO costly that It
wasn't bought to use
There was once q house I know of, where
the parIor door was locked,
And if youngsters stepped inside It all the
grown UPS there were shocked,
And If sticky fingers touched table or a
chair.
There was always trouble brewing for all
things we're sacred there:
when ! were older grown
There would be no solemn parior in tHe
house | called ny own.
Let -em climb the chairs an rockers, lee
EN- wear 'em ont in joy,
Let the tables and the sofa show the
thunbprints of boy.
Let little girl make merry in whateFef
way she will, =,
And tho furniture grows shabby, | will

For I'd rather chairs are battered, than
their hearts should knew a 3rulse,
And / want no grand piano which the

1t is estimated by 1.-The Nations

to the government in taxes more than
ninety cents goes to pay for past and
future wars and a scant one cent is
spent on research, education and de-
velopment work, including care of the
public health. This is the striking
feature of an analysis of the govern
