The Republican administration came
into authority In March, 1921, pledged
to put more business in government
business. That pledge has been lib
orally redeemed. One OF the first
things which the Republican admins
tration did was to impress upon
business interests that 1t was up to
them to become self-reliant If they
wished to become self-sustaining;
that they must begin to work out their
own salvation instead Of running to
the Government for artificial stimulus.
Legislation has been enacted wherever
1t could prove helpful. but 1t has not
been permitted TO take the place Of
individual energy and thrift.
simultaneously with the elimina-
tion Of Government in business there
was an injection of business in Gov
srnment Perhaps what will go down
As one Of the greatest pieces of con-
structive legislation Of the last half
century was the enactment Of a law
creating . Budget Bureau. which
made 1t not only possible but man
datory for the arst time in the his.
tory Of the United States Government

In an orderly manner. It h largely
due to the Inauguration Of this bud
get system that the daily operating
expenses Of the Government have
been reduced In the aggregate over
100000 q day under this admins
tration.
The business interests Of the coun.
try were given confederation in the
enactment sf the new tax measure
Surtaxss were decreased, excess profits
taxos were abolished altogether, and
the shipping interests of the United
stats-which include practically every
businsas and inAustry-wsre relieved
from the burdsnsoms transportation
taxes that were levied upon freight
express and passenger traffic.

in q manner which shall prove wholly
pleasing and satisfactory to the en-

The man or woman who writes q

If the book fails in this respect, the
author fails.
All the difficulties Of life are over

And this art of pleasing others
must be carried out from the highest
flight Of metaphysics. down to the
loading of dray or the digging of a

1t is not easy to make some ma

it should be remembered that while an
automobile is mainly luxury in the
city it is almost a necessity in the
country. It is part of the farm ma
chinery equipment. It cuts down the
distance to town. 1t is the builder of
community life. The owner maintains
the machine, and it probably has
twice or three times the life of the
average city auto. If the farmer is
not entitled to an automobile, nobody
is. Furthermore, it is our opinion that
the greatest expansion of the automo-
bile business of the future will come
through rural demand. The farmer
can come nearer to actually affording
an automobile than any other class
of buyers.-The Farmer.
The Princeton union., 1922-12-21
The Farmers Automobile.

Busy statisticians are constantly
presenting figures to prove that the
purchase of automobiles is one Of the
foremost causes Of the hard times in
the country. For instance, it is estl-
mated that the money expended IN
Minneapolis alone, this city being
large distributing point for autos,
auto supplies, gas and oil, amounted
last year to over $3OO,000,00O. The
statistician holds up his hands in hor-
ror when he discovers that the auto
mobile habit apparently cost about as
much last year as the the total value
of the wheat crop in this section. he
questions how the country can survive
such an expense; yet in the face G.
his pessimism the automobile business
goes right on progressing, being today
one of the briskest lines of trade.
We can agree with the automobile
pessimist to the fact that the automo-
bile is placing very heavy load on
city life. If autos were purchased IN
the cities by only those who could ac-
tually afford to run them, there would
be an appalling decrease in sales. Un-
doubtedly, much of overhead expense,
which the farmer must carry in the
long run, is also due to the fact that
most workmen are getting the habit
of riding to their jobs in a "f1ivver,"
while most businessmen like to drag
around in as large car as they can
negotiate. The size of the car de-
termines their social standing. There
is undoubtedly lot of unwise expense
in the city automobile business, yet
we can remember the time when
rubber-tired buggy seemed almost as
extravagant and foolish.
So far as the farmer is concerned

does to two children who have the
whooping cough and are standing as
closely as possible against the nearest
thing to getting out-a window.
Jerry dug his fists down into his
pockets and looked as cross as a bear.
Sally blinked very fast to keep the
tears from rolling down her cheeks,
and her two pigtails quivered unhap-
PLY.
"We'll miss the party and the games
and the goodies and every
thing" she walled.
II don't care about the old party!'
declared Jerry scornfully. "What I
want is to get out and make a snow
man. Look at all this perfectly good
snow going to waste I call it a
shame" And you would have thought
by his tone that all blizzards were in
vented for the express purpose of Civ
ing little boys the opportunity of play
ing in it.
"Mary Randall's going to wear her
new pink dress and her slippers !"
shifted Sally, "and have a red dress
and new slippers TOGO" This last
thought was almost too much, and one
large tear did manage to tumble over
and down her cheek. Jerry pretended
not to see it. Perhaps he was having
trouble with his own eyes, though of
course boys never cry, not even when
tomorrow's Christmas and everything
is spoiled because Of whooping cough.
"Mother said we should have to have
a party by ourselves and make be-
lieve that lots of people came to it."
said Sally.
Jerry grunted. He didn't care much
for this make-believe stuff-tOo sissi,
fed. Lets sit down in front of the
open fire." suggested Sally, "and tell
stories. I'm tired of looking out of
the window. Perhaps something nice
will happen; who can tell?"
So the two children settled them
selves in front of the fire. They drew
up two low stools and they each sat
with their elbows on their knees and
their chins in their hands. It was very
warm and cosy. The logs cracked and
sputtered as though they were doing
their best to cheer other people up,
and the dancing flames had a regular
parade up and down the wood. It was

There was the faintest rustic by the;
clock on the mantel. It sounded like
snowf1akes talking together.
"There! 1 heard something again !"
said Sally.
Both children stared at the clock,
for that was where the sound came
from.
1t was quite dark by this time, ex.

Jerry just winked his eyes very fast.
"Here am up by the clock" tinkled
the voice again.
And sure enough, there she was in

size of sweet pea. And she was the
whitest creature you could imagine.

Sally and Jerry laughed.
"Shall I dance for you?" asked the
Snow Fairy politely.
"Oh, yes!" beseeched the children.
Up jumped the white little person,
and In the twinkling of an eye she had
begun. The children never saw such
dancing In their lives Never!
The Snow Fairy pirouetted on top
Of the clock; she whirled like crystal
prism. She jumped down and made a
low bow to china shepherdess and
then the shepherdess threw away her
crook and danced with the fairy. Away
they went, whirling and bobbing and

over vases; they peeked out behind
pictures, they fairly flew through the

the Snow Fairy and which the china

jerry and Sally clapped their hands
and laughed until they could laugh no
longer. They forgot all about parties
and new slippers and making snow
men.
Then the strangest thing happened.
They could not see the Snow Fairy at
all. She wasn't there, and if You'll
believe me, the china shepherdess was
standing stif1y in her old spot as
though she'd never had thought of
moving in her life.
"Dear mel" said Sally rubbing her
eyes.
"Dear me!' said Jerry, rubbing his.
Mother came in soon after that, She
stood smiling down upon them.
"Both you children were sound
asleep on your stools when I was in
here before. Do come and have some
thing good to eat. have little party
all ready for you.'
And Sally and Jerry never said a
word about the Snow Fairy. But they
were as cheerful as cherubs the rest
of the day.

collapse to the winter wheat crop.
Heat at the. critical period of

red rust. with here and there a
showing OF the dreaded black rust.

that cheered observers on June l.
We may now confidently expect a

but one of light weight, because
of a large percentage of shriveled
grains. 1t is a crop over which dis
