BROTHER WALTER ARRIVES

Brother Walter. Smith was in
town Saturday. He read in the
Press and Banner. Friday of Dote's
sickness and of his desire to obtain
some good "hu" medicine. Opining
that some kind friend would send
Dote a half pint or so Of the desired
liquid, Brother Walter arose early
Saturday morning and hurried
down to Brother Dote's mansion on
! South Main. 49,.
Walter didn't even. knock at the
doora He walked in and found Dote
at his desk preparing 20 write a
letter to the Press and Banner on
the latest developments in. tax mat
ties. Walter expressed surprise at
Dote being able to sit up after
what he had read in the Press and
Banner.
"You must have got some Of
that medicine you were asking
for" Walter suggested.
"I did," said Brother Dote, "and
1 took it according to my own direc-
TONS"
With that Walter coughed as
sickly as possible, and declared
that he was not feeling we'll him
self, and was afraid he would have
a case of the "fu" too, unless as
he stated, 81. take something for it
right away" "Have you got any
left?" he asked Dote.
Laying aside his pen for a little
while, Dote reached in the bottom
right hand drawer of his desk and
handed Walter a fruit jar. Walter
looked at it and didn't see anything
in it; he shook it and didn't hear
anything make, a fuss like flu 'medi-
cine. He then opened the jar and
turned it up so far that it cut his
nose, and II amt got a drap yet,"'
he told a Press and Banner man.
"Dote must have been afraid he
would have a relapse and have taxi
en- all the medicine to scare it off, /
soon saw that Dote needed no COM
pany so I came on up town."
AS Walter slammed the door be.
hind him, Dote again took his pen
in hand, ran his left hand over his
bald head and tried to get the
wheels started to running. .
He will be heard from soon.

Richard Spillane, writing in las
weeks issue of Commerce and F;
nance quotes a Western banker q
follows:
81 am a director in telephone
4 ompanies in five States of the
grain telt. Our records show an
unprecedented number of tele-
phones discontinued III the farm
, regions. Inquiries as to the
j cause brings the invariable ans
wer. We cannot afford it any
longer.
"Our investigators report the
!. most drastic economy through
out the agricultural belt. Sales
Of gasoline are a~bnormally low.
Automobiles are used less than
in years. When the farmer goes
to town he bitches up his horse
to a wagon or old buggy instead
Of cranking up his car, as has
been his custom. The farmer is
not spending money for gas or
anything else if he possibly a
avoid it. The prime reason is
) that he has not the ready mon
ey and he can borrow now from
the country banker only for ur-
gent necessities.
"on a recent journey I went
into South Dakota. A farmer
who has a considerable acreage
told ne he and his wife had TAX
en- account. Of all their household
and personal possessions. They
believed that by the most
rigid of care and economy they
could serape along for several
years without purchasing any
more clothing or household uten-
sis: 1t would require much of
patching and repairing and self
denial.
81 wonder. if the people Of
the East appreciate the situa-
ton, on the farm. I do not know
that what I have outlined is typi-

cal of the whole agricultural
district, but I do know that new
er in the last decade was such
rigid economy practiced in the
section of the West with which
| am familiar as is manifest to-
day.
"The farmer goes to the vii
lage or country store less today
than in many years. He buys
only what he urgently needs. He
has faced liquidation with a stole
resolution that commands my o
respect"
It is this ability of the people Of
the agricultural sections to practice
economy that brings hope to the
country. Those of us who have been
reared on the farm know that it mat
tiers not how hard the time, and
how little the money, the farmer who
tried can always so manage his af-
fairs as to keep the outgo inside Of
the income. Thirty years ago it was
a hard task to do this but many did
it then. In the years since times have
improved and they have had the tele-
phone, the automobile, and other
things which have helped to relieve
the monotony of life in the country,
but now that the times again de-
mand it, they are going back to the
ways of living, and they may
be depended on to live within their
means. What they are doing not only
commands respect, but it furnishes
the country with a guarantee that
we will in time go forward again. The
country will "ceme back"
If in the cities we learned quickly
of the habits of economy which
the people in the rural sections are
quick to adopt, we would sooner see
the skies frightening. 1t will hurst
the merchants, and it will hurt 9TH
ers; it has already hurt them, this
economy of the people on the farm,
but it will hurt them less than if the
went on buying without the
to pay. When the crops grow
business will pick up; when
the prices received for the new crops
it, the farmer will again be
buyer, if a cautious buyer, and bus
will look upward.
AS the writer named well says:
eff weather conditions favor
him his yield per acre will be
large. If prices Of wheat, cor
and oats, of cattle, hogs and 9TH
err products are fair, he will have
a reward that will bring back
to him the telephone and the au-'
tomobile and the semi-luxuries
that are not luxuries, but arti-
cles of utility and worth.
"He should have them.
"The farm is the backbone of
America. 1t may seem weak to-
day, but it is not. It is strong,
probably never was stronger than
now when the farm is stripped
for the greatest task in the
world-the turning of the count
less miles that makes the burrows
into which 60 the seed, and from
which come the foods for the
millions here and millions be-
yond the seas"

omize for the next few years, just
