u. S. Farmers Cannot Take
This Step Backward!

DRESIDENT HOWARD, of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, advises farmers of the United States to
make of horses and less Of tractors Instead OF
spending money for gasoline he said at meeting of the
Illinois Agricultural association, W would be well to use the
grain home IL will make better market for the SUR

Nothing harmful American agricultural interests
has been suggested than this proposal 10 retreat om
the machinery to the old handpower age
Between 1850 and 1910 the number of American farms
increased fourold IN the time their value increased
tenfod The principal for the increase In the vaue
of the farms lies OF in the vast increase OF the
American crops which increase is due principally TO the
general of the most powerful laborsavng machinery
Between 1850 and 1910 the value OF agricultural machey
increased eightfod AS the price OF agricultural machinery
fell rapidly during the period IL follows that the quantity
of agricultural machinery used increased far more than
eightod Production per increased steadily as the use

There could be way of committing suicide than

the need for grain. Oxen, too, would demand more man

This carried still further would suggest the abandonment
of all farm machinery going back TO the sickle and the hand

Davy Hasn't Quit Working

DAVY JAMES a little old Weshman, who lives Mt Car
- bonado mined coal than 60 of the 81 years
he has been earth That is. Davy has spent goody
part of the years he has been earth under earth.
Many begin thinking of retiring long before they
reach 81.
Quitting work is goal all him at. Yet, few quit when
they it, and only i'll health loss of strength some
physical weakness compels the choice of no-work.
Davy isn't the kind quit until he has TO- Therein
he is like other humans. They may change Jobs
they get older and call their work hobby But 1t
is work Just the Davy. however. stuck to the job
he started with lie had desire to change. Last
SUMMER and fall Davy put in his busiest days getting out
coal per day than he had done and drawing his
highest wages. Pretty good for 81 years.
rWhy don't quit Davy exclaimed when asked why he
didn't discard the pick and shovel and take things easy
II wouldn't know what TO do if didn't work. he went
I'm too young TO loaf round doing nothing Id have to
turn to a new job. and I'm too old to do that"
ing new tricks; Davv James. tho released idea in "a
man at 81 is too young quit work"
And, folks wouldn't this be fine world if everybody
could and would live that at 81 he She could think
with Davy that should be older than 81 before he
wishes to kiss work goodbye?
Which doesn't intend the idea that the scheme
of things should be arranged that every man would
HAVE week after he has reached the mature OF
four-score ather does it suggest the hope that work
would be pleasing that every mothers son would want
to engage in it 10 the very sunset OF life.
Once it the program that man worked hard and
long hours that he might accumulate sufficient TO take
life easier" The trouble with that that few had
much life left when the recreation day The modern
and better plan is TO combine work with play all thru life
that will not wish to quit work in old age to play.
