cent oats were the exception. and
were wartime values.
| We thought that that sort of
things would last forever, so we ad-
vanced the land far beyond where
it can reasonably stay, and bought
more land that we thought we might
need, not thinking that the war was
burning up more wealth than the ex-
cessive values we were adding to
the land. After all is said and done,
1t is the land that stays where it
Is and has to bear the burden of the
taxes OF the war. In addition, we
borrowed few billions from the
banks which billions belonged to the
people, just to pay down on high
priced land or for new cars, and now
the banks want their money. .- -,-
1t is a bad situation, but not so
bad that we shall not recover. We
are going to need patience and
charity, and optimism and hard
work, and lot of other good things,
to tide us over. This war, while not
of our own choosing has still to be
paid for. Taxes are certain to be
high for years to come. We had
better face the facts. People seldom
fail who are able to face facts, for
it stiffens the spine. The American
farmer and his good wife are the
very people who are going to do their
part to pull us out Of the national
slough of dispair.
Just as our fathers and grand
fathers faced the final chaos of their
time, and turned it into order, so
will we. In the meantime there are
two things we can do to help:
Let's stop talking to each other
about hard times. We are not starry
ing yet, and there is no prospect of
that. II we keep on suggesting to
each other that things are going
to the devil' it will grease the slide
to that state of things.
Then we must keep suggesting to
each that we believe in each other:
pledge each other our mutual faith.
to our country and the God above us
that we will stay on the Job and plug
and save and dig until the new day
dawns. II we will all do that. our
eyes will be wide open to enjoy the
new day when 1t comes.

JUST AS OUR GRAND
<-. FATHERS THOUGHT
(By DR.. J. w. Halland in St, Paul
Farmer)

(By DR.. j. w. Halland in st. Pau
Farmer)
The date was 1867. The place was
northern Missouri. The Civil Wal
was two years away. The persons
were two farmers sitting together
on worm fence. The theme was
the only one they knew-hard times
You know what they were saying
Their world of finance was warped
and twisted. Interest rates were
high and money almost impossible to
get. Their good wives were gather
ing up eggs and selling them at eight
cents per dozen. They had to beg
the dealer to buy their pork. Their
corn was worth fourteen cents and
their oats not worth hauling away
over the poor roads.
1t was hard time. What did they
do? They faced the situation with
hope and hard work; and in few
years their farms were paid for, their
children educated, and they had a
comfortable nest built for old age.
But in 1867 the clouds of gloom
hung >close over their puzzled heads.
In 1898 the sons of those two
farmers were sitting near the same
place discussing hard times: they
even went so far as to threaten to
move off the farms. Nothing paid.
Those were black times for the man
who was trying to pay for his farm.
Those discouraged farmers were
talking the language Of their fathers
generation before.
That was in 1898. Today those two
farmers have good farms, and have
succeeded in giving their children a
better chance in the world than they
themselves had, and they have had,
in all, more Injuries than their
fathers had comforts.
Today the grandsons of the farm
ers of 1857 are sitting in their auto
mobiles talking hard times, and poor
markets, and low prices. They are
talking the language of their fathers.
Abraham Lincoln had poem writ
ten by a Scotchman which he kept
over his desk, in the White House
which read: 1--WE are the same as
our fathers have been.' We are
surely the same when depression hits
our pocketbooks.
Time has shown that the farmer
of 1857 and 1898 did not have all
the facts, for had they been able to
forecast the future days they would
have been singing instead of moan
ing. Better days came just as truly
as better days are sure to come to
us.
Now, it might be a good deal
worse! The money and gold of the
world might be in foreign countries
instead of in our own vaults. That
Is something. Then, the harvest of
the past year has been, generally 60
per cent to the good. The prospects
Of the country as a whole leaves
much to be desired, but it is easily
60 per cent normal. Some Of the
foreign loans will be maturing soon,
and that will start capital moving.
Then we need to remember that

Where Men Carry Fans.

The folding fan came originally from
Japan. In the East fans were carried
by, both sexes and were much used
at important ceremonies. The Japa-
nese had war fans, colored bright red,
and there are some fans which have q
small poinard concealed in the handle.
The folding fan was introduced to
England in Henry Wis time, coming
from Italy, to which it had been in
troduced by Catherine de Medict.

Many "Treasure islands"

A large number Of islands in vari-
GUS parts Of the world have had the
reputation Of holding buried treasure.
Stevenson's Treasure Island" had no
foundation in fact, but is stated to
be the real result of his reading of
stories by Defoe, Washington Irving
and Poe, also Johnson's "Lives Of
Pirates and Highwaymen," supple
mented by his own experience on sail
ing ships. Stevenson himself said
that the germ of the story was the
map drawn for the wall Of his step

Washinaton's Harvest Of Moss.

During the wet season the moss
grows luxuriantly on the roofs and
under the caves of the houses in
Seattle and that part of Washington,
and when the dry season arrives this
moss becomes so infiammable that 1t
offers great fire menace. 1t is
necessary to tear 1t away and this
is done with the aid of long-handled
tool something like rake. In many
communities there are laws which
make this removal compulsory. It
makes an excellent fertilizer.

Helps In Game Of Life.

Lies game must be winning game
to keep the interest fresh. Every day
should mark some advance toward the
cherished goal. The fact that we
achieve helps us to smile, and the
smiles help to keep US young. The fear
full never make a success of life's
game. Timidity begets fear in them
selves and those who work with them.
It's the moose around the neck Of
every advance. Fear and undue re-
serve sounds the death knell Of many q
worthy endeaver.

Where the little Women" Played.

What American girl or woman has

delightful story? In the home of the
authoress at Concord, Mass, the attic in
particular recalls the jolly good times
of the little Women" AS we mount

was their favorite gathering place,
and it recalls many delightful in
