that II is dangerous TO be around or

FARMERS AND CITY FOLKS

do farmers think as much of their
family and their home as town and
city folks do?
DO farmers try to make their
homes as cozy and comfortable and
convenient as town and city people
do?"
Rural Welfare editor was present
at a farmers institute when lady
speaker asked these TWO very point
ed question. She asked the men pres.
ent to give an answer to each ques.
tion. The men sat tight and never
said q word
These two questions made the
whole community do a lot Of think
ing. We are almost ready to say
that these two questions were worth
what the institute cost in dollars and
sense.
1t is the sacred duty of farmer
to think as much of his family as
1t is possible for any person in any
other occupation to think of his
family.
1t is the plain duty of farmer
to make his home comfortable and
convenient before he puts money in
the bank to draw interest, while the
good wife must work like horse. and
grow old 80 years too soon.
We wonder II all the farm women
really know what real modern
home is? Have all of them had a
chance to see the lates arranged
homes that have been devised to
save the housewife a thousand steps
every day in her routine work? Does
every farm woman have an up-to-date
weekly or monthly Journal or maya
zine from which to get ideas and help.
ful hints?
How many farm wives have kit
chen that is twice Or thrice as big
as ii should be for her comfort? Has
the farm wife seen the most modern
kitchens or even the cook room on
a dining car?
On these dining cars there is no
waste space. Everything has been
done to save time and labor. Con

Joint Woodn,en and
Neighbors Installation

The joint installation of the Mod
ern Woodmen and Royal Neighbors
lodges at the court house last night
was largely attended and proved a
most interesting affair.
The Neighbors most gracioasly,
and before the Woodmen had gotten
their bearings, invited them to do
their work first. We feel sure this
was not to show the men they We're
not in the Neighbors' class in doing
the work, though the men by their
applause really voted such to be true.
The installation ceremonies by the
ladies afforded splendid entertain
ment for the men, who showed their
appreciation by loud applause.
The following officers of the Wood
men camp were installed by Les Kep-
Ter: Consul j. NJ. Beck; past con-
sui, Glen Lewis; adviser. Cedric
Damewood; clerk. Chas. R.. Peter;

CROP GUARANTEE

Farmers want some assurance that
when they grow a crop and haul it
to market they will get at least a
dollar aaday wages for the hard work
they did to grow the crop.
Thousands Of farmers did not get
dollar a day pay for farm work in
1921. In fact, more farmers lost
money. than made any wages what
soever. OF course thousands of peo-
pie in other lines of work did not
have job of any kind. The farmer
had a job every day in the year of
1921. Many of them not only had to
work for their board, but by losing
money they had to pay something to
live in addition to their hard work.
In the land of sugar beets the farm
er plays safer gam.. when he puts
the seed into the ground for crop
of sugar beets he has signed con-
tract that he will get certain price
for every ton of beets that he grows,
with good chance o. getting bonus
paid to him above the guaranteed
price.
Is this plan to be the solution Of
prices for all crops grown by the
farmer? BY this we mean the big
staple crops of the country. such as
corn, wheat, live stock, wool, cotton
and dairy products.
II the government can guarantee
the railroads six per cent profit on
watered stock investment, by the
same sign, is it safe to guarantee the
farmer price that will guarantee
him board and decen, clothes for his
hard work required to grow the meal
ticket for all of us?-Toledo Blade.
