What do You Think?

Farm Life: 1t is a little absurd for
tie American nation to be busted
just now.
Isn't it?
Labor has had four or five fat years
high wages, short hours and plenty
OF work.
If labor hasn't accumulated enough
saving to keep bread in the bread box
and coal in the bin during a few weeks
OF partial unemployment it doesn't de-
serve much sympathy docs it? That
IS what agriculture thinks.
Agriculture has had some fat years,
too.
If agriculture hasn't laid by some
thing for rainy day-if it can't stand
a slump in prices after its period of I'M
disputed prosperity-why, agriculture
is pretty poor business, isn't it?
That is what labor thinks.
Manufa ctuters and wholesalers have
been piling up profits on a rising mar
Iket and if they can't take their medi-
cine now during the period of read
justment, it's a queer thing.
That is what the retailers think.
And if the retailers, who have worn
out their pencils marking up prices,
can't make the necessary reductions
now without whimpering, they would
better shut up shop.
That is what the manufacturers and
wholesalers say.
You have been having chance to
make and save a little money for sew
eral years. and if you can't stand lit
tic hard times you're either a pretty
poor sport or you're a pretty poor bust
ness man.
That is what everybody says to
everybody else.
And what everybody says must be so.

Some Land Sales.

There is an occasional farm sale in
Iowa and prices do not seem to have
greatly slumped. even though sales are
few. G. j. Struthers has just bought
the Joe Snyder farm of 100 acres two
and a half miles southeast of West
Bend at $500 per acre. The place is
urimproved.
Charlie Mitchell of this city week
or so ago sold quarter section at
auction over near Knierim. Calhoun
countr. at $34G per acre. This farm
was sold ON contract Il year ago at
a few dollars more than $400 per
acre, hence here is slump.
Joe snyder has purchased of Felix
Docrding 100 acre farm a half mile
southeast of West Bend at S402.50 per
acre. The place is well improved.

What Arts Value Is.

Who will write the best song, who will
paint the best picture?
Whose music is best?
He who understands man, knows the
heart of him, loves him
Above all the rest.
Put stars in your song and put skies
in your. picture,
Put mountains and seas;
But one heart-throb that's tuned to
the heart of a brother
Is greater than these.
Man first is your song; man first, and
then mountains,
And the woods and the seas;
And know, while you picture the star
groups of midnight,
He is greater than these.
What is art. what is art and the ar
lists achievement,
Its purpose and plan?
TITS the message that's sent from the
heart of the artist
TO the heart of man.
