A MILITARY VACATION.


The War Department figures on
training 10000 young men at the
summer Platsburgs" this year,
three times as many as were
handled last summer. Preparations
are now being made. There win
be a larger number OF camps
scattered all over the country TO
facilitate transportation. -sny
eligible young man can count on
finding suitable, camp in his own
section.
There ought to be rush for
enlistment, and very likely there
will be. There is no war scare to
stimulate interest, and the mind OF
the nation is not turned on things
military at all just now, but for
that very reason the summer camps.

PLow FACTORY PHILOSOPHY


The Country Gentleman tells how
a certain pillow factory in the
south found 1.-The short cut to
prosperity" The story will bear
outlining.
Realizing that something must
be done to bridge the chasm be-
tween the cost of farm machinery
and the price of farm products,
this concern cut its prices back to
the 1914 level. Its business for
the next month was the largest
for the same month in any year
of its existence.
Since raw materials and wages
were still higher than the price
level adopted, it became necessary
to operate the factory with the
highest possible efficiency, eliminat-.
ing all waste. This was done. The
output OF the men who are work
ing has been almost trebled over
the days when loose methods were
pursued. The plows are selling
like hot cakes. and the manufac
turers are making 4 small hut fair
profit.
This is the road which the man
who hopes to make money in 1922
must follow. The sooner every
body wakes up tc this fact. the
better. There are hopeful indica
rions on every hand that the alarm
o'clock OF truth is ronsins the
dreamerS.
