Next, if we want friendship when
we are old we must begin laying that
up in our youth The commonest
complaint of old age is that it is lone
ly. If it is, it is its own fault, because
the friendly never lack for friends.
AS we SOW, we reap. Those who go
thru the world showing kindness and
consideration for others; those who
are always reaching out a helping
hand to those in need, those who give
sympathy, and human fellowship new
er lack for friends.
But you can't spend a whole life
time shut within yourself like a clam
within its shell. You can't be greedy
and grasping. and cold and callous,
and then expect to have friends in
your old age You've got to win your
friendships as you go. You've got to
bind people to you by years of kindli-
ness, and service to them.
We should lay up for our rainy day
OF old age many interests to keep US
from being bored. Talleyrand advised
everybody to learn to play good
game of whistsin their youth so that
they might not pass a miserable old
age. Undoubtedly that is wise coun-
sell Also it is highly advisable for
people to cultivate fads. Collecting
old china, or stamps, or prints, or
period furniture, or growing roses, or
QOBSs are QGllSnI1ul IODDy-
horses on which the old may amble
thru many pleasant years of what
would otherwise be a dreary road.
It is most important of all that we
should learn to read while we are
young. We should form the habit of
reading good books because that is a
stay and prop that never fails. It is
the greatest resource that the old can
possibly have for no one can ever be
dull or lonely who is free of the land
of adventure and romance of books.
Then we should lay up for our old
age as many interesting memories. as
we can. In our youth, We should
when the time comes when we are no
longer able to journey to far countries
we may have in our minds the pic
lures of the strange places we have
seen, the taste of salt seas on our lips,
the scent of tropic flowers in our
nostrils.
The old people who are peevish.
and fretful, and complaining. who
must always be talked to. and who
live on petty gossip are those who
have lived narrow, dull, drab lives.
They are those who have nothing in
teresting and thrilling to remember.
Therefore, aside from the present
pleasure of travel, we make a good
investment when we lay up for our
old age a store of inexhaustible recol-
lectfons.
Old age has no terrors for those
who have saved enough money to be
independent, and who are rich in ac-
cumulated friendship and love, and
interests and memories.

VIE HoOsIER VOTE.

The nomination Of Beverage for
United States senator by the people of
Indiana in being credited to the farm
er vote. Farm Life" in comment
ing on tfse result of the Hoosier
primary. says:
That vague something called the
farmer vote became a very definite
reality at the Indiana primaries in
May. Not only was the balloting IN
expectedly heavy. but II is the opinion
OF political students that in the seEa-
terial race 1T was the strength and the
unanimity of the rural vote that
named the successful candidates for
both parties. And they believe in
Washington that the farmer vote-in-
GLIDING the women, of course-win be
the controlling factor at the polls in
November. with this responsibility of
citizenship thrust upon them, the
farmers VIII study candidates and is
sues carefully, and exercise their fran
chise wisely. The farmer vote" has
always been foundation rock of ma
tionaI safety and progress, and 1t is
doubly important since the vote itself
has-been doubled by the nineteenth
amendment
But Indiana always has been I'M
certain and erratic in her political ac-
ton. Many years ago, when the SOL
diers of the Civil war were still vot-
ing "as they shot," the Hoosier Dem
ocrats nominated for governor a citi-
zen popularity known as ''Blue Jeans
Williams. At that time it was noted
by friends of the late Capt. Jacob v.
Admire, q rock-ribbed Republican of
Topeka, that he was betting all the
money he could get on blue Jeans"
When asked for an explanation of
his course the captain said he, was
born and reared in Indiana and knew
the ways of her people.
why" said he. there are thou
sands of men back there who live in
hollow logs and have moss on their
backs. They only come out occasion
ally to vote and this year they will all
be out voting for Blue Jeans VIII
liams." And apparently he was right
for Williams was elected, upsetting a
huge previous Republican majority.
