was at work in the stables, feeding,
rubbing down and Harvesting his
horses. while Allan and his father
walked to the engine, where they built
n fresh fire and made some minor re-
pairs. A little later Beulah came
down to the corral with her milk pals,
and the cows, comfortably chewing
where they rested on their warm
spots of earth, rose slowly and
with evident great reluctance at her
approach. The Harris farm. like fifty
thousand others, rose from its brief
hush of rest and quiet to the sounds
and energies of another day.
Breakfast, like the meal of the night
before. was eaten hurriedly, and at
first without conversation, but Mt
length Harris paused long enough to
remark. rifles is talkin' O. goin'
West"
"The news might be worse" said
Beulah. Rifles, although a successful
farmer, had the reputation Of being
grasping and hard to degree. even
In community where such quail
ties. In moderation, were by no means
considered vices.
Harris paid no attention to his
daughters interruption. 1t was evil
dent, however, that his mention of
Rifles had purpose behind 1t, and
presently he continued:
rifles has been writin' to the de-
partment of the interior, and 1t seems
they're openin' lot Of land for home
steadin' away West. not far from the
Rocky mountains. Seems they have a
good climate there, and good soil, too"
II should think Mr.. Rifles would be
content with what he has," said Mary
Harris. HE has fine farm here, and
I'm sure both him and his wife have
worked hard enough to take It easier
now"
Hard work never killed nobody"
pursued the farmer. "Rlles is good for
many year vet, and free land amt
what 1t once was. Those homesteads1l
be worth twenty dollars an acre by the
time they're proved up"
Breakfast and Harris speech came
to an end simultaneously, and the SUBJ
ject was dropped for the time. In a
few minutes Jim had his team hitched
to the tank wagon in the yard. The
men jumped aboard and the wagon
ratified down the road to where the
engine and plows sat in the stubble-
field.

in with his story: ut was some party

settle. What we were fined for our
little dissipation was just what we
deserved and expected. 1t came q lit
tie sudden. and caught us with lot
OF raw material and contracts for
supplies at the worse than war prices.
The other fellow though was caught
the same way. There is no use cry
ing over spilled milk, so we went
ahead and adjusted our costs to the
new order Of things. put our sales
force through some intensive training
and sent them out after business. The
orders are not coming as easy as they
did once, but we are getting them and
expect to be on full time very soon.
You can tell the world for us that ev-
erything is all right. We are not wor-
rying about the future because we are
working, and the fellow who works
and sweats is going to come through
o. K"
These statements from the farmer,
the merchant, the manufacturer are
not imaginary. Each Is composite re-
hearsal of the story told to US by each
class In our recent trade survey. They
represent the view point Of the aver
age American. No time wasted 10
vain regrets, but frank admission
that readjustment is a necessary evil,
and on 1t everyone is due to lose.
The pluck, nerve and good sense
which have always been the predomi-
mating characteristics of the good
sound American are more In evidence
now than ever, and the man or wom-
an, who right now Is defiant In any
one Of them, is just naturally out Of
luck. That's all. The country Is as
sound as nuts not going to the
dogs.
Record Savings Bank Deposits.
If concrete figures are needed to
convince any skeptic, your banker will
tell you this:
First, that the year 1919 was BAN
ner for savings bank deposits, and in
the history of this country the figures
Of 1919 have been beaten but once,
and that-now get this-was in the
year just past, the year everyone has
been complaining about. 1920.
Second, that, while the farmer now
constitutes but one-half of the total
population Of this little old U. s.,
more than half. about 60 per cent Of
these savings deposits are in the
names of the tillers Of the soil.
