NAME YOUR FARM.

Have you stopped to realize that if a
farm is worth farming, it is worth
naming A good name helps to make
a good farm. 1t dignifes the farm
home and increases the value of the
farm property. 1t adds permanency to
to agriculture and shows pride in the
business of farming. A good farm
name can be sold with the land as the
good will of firm can be sold with the
business. Certain localities have be-
come famous because of their good
farms and the distinctive names that
90 with them. A good name is one OF
the first essentials in building UP good
reputation and tradition for the farm
A properly chosen farm name will 70
far in developing that sense of pride
which is a fundamental basis for a
mere en5uring and permanent country
living.

Family Life Benefited by Prohibition.

Warren G. Harding, President of the
United States, has said: The liquor
traffic was destructive of much that
was most precious in American life. In
every community men and women ha We
had an opportunity now to know W at
prohibition means They know that
debts are more promptly paid, that men
take home the wages that once were
wasted in the saloon, that families are
better clothed and fed. +"
While the enemies of prohibition per-
sistently contend that more liquor is
being consumed now than in license
days, thinking people realize that if
this allegation were true bootieggers
could not ask such exorbitant prices for
their product. According to the laws
governing demand and supply. any
commodity that is plentiful fails to
command top-notch price.
Though it is nearly two years since
the 18th amendment became law in
America, we can scarcely realize the
marvellous changes it has wrought and
the more wonderful changes it heralds
throughout the world.
j. j. Phoenix, president Bradley
Knitting Co., says: ut has been my
province to atch the effects of prohib-
ition upon our twelve TO fourteen hun
bred people and we find that the labor
ing man and his family have directly
benefited in large degree by prohibition,
in fact, more thai 2ny other class in
America. Better living. better cloth
ing, cleaner and better social life
happier homes with more contentment,
better and steadier workers, averaging
more efficient and with less sickness
and lost time.
1t was truly marvellous day when
America exchanged ITS, 600 saloons for
three and half million happy homes
and decided rather to have ten millions
comfortably housed and fed than to
have some ten hundred breweries en-
riched w. c. r. u.
