"USED" THOUGHTS

u MERSON, wisest of all American
- essayists, says somewhere that
every man must sooner or later make
up his mind that he and no one else
must determine his future.
We can learn from others knowledge,
methods, even wisdom.
Other men can teach us how to
think, as they can teach us how to
swim or play golf.
But they cannot swim for us, they
cannot play golf for us, and they can
not think for us.
We all employ great deal of
thought that is not our own. That
must be, for we should be foolish not
to profit by the accumulated wisdom
of those who have gone before.
But these used thoughts, while we
must at times employ them, serve not
at all to develop our minds.
And while we might get along fairly
well through life without original
thought, we should die little wiser than
when we began, and contribute moth
ing whatever to the progress of the
world.
All that is of value in education is
learning how to think.
From biography we derive great
DEAL but most of it consists in know
ing how other men thought, and how
their thought made their careers.
If we carry all our problems to 9TH
ers to solve for us, we shall some day
be confronted with great problem
and lack the understanding of how to
grapple with it.
And in that time there will be no
one to help us, and we shall meet with
a failure that may change for the
worse the course of our lives.
Most Of us will do anything rather
than think, for thinking is labor of the
hardest kind.
But 1t is the sort of labor that
use our minds for our own advance,
ment, that makes us resOurceful and
Independent and not afraid of tackling
whatever comes along.
There are small differences between
the outsides of our heads. There are
tremendous differences between the in
sides of them. And those of us who
have learned to think have developed
machines which steadily and industri-
Ousiy through the years will work for
our prosperity and our happiness. But
those whose thoughts are second hand
wonder why they never arrive

How Better Than Pills?

The question has been asked. In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is, they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is. so gentle that one
hardly realizes that it is produced by
a medicine. Then, they not only move
the bowels but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.-Adv.

RETIRED BUT TIRED

"Pve farmed for 81 years" said Siwash Silten-

coaxing tardy corn. I'm calloused on hoof and
hand and lame in back and mind; I'm weary of my
square of land and this eternal grind. It's harrow,

it's plow and pull and pack and PITCH it's pail and
plod and pray! I've earned my time on Easy Street,
my day on beds of down. so soon I'll turn my weary
feet toward softer times in town."
So Siwash sold his ancient land. its stubble,
stock and sod, and banked in cash. understand, a
fair and tempting wad. He settled in a cozy shack
with not tap do except to sally forth and back,
and smoke pipe two. He gets his mail at ten
o'clock at one and three and five and drones about
the price of stock of honey in the hive. He stops in
at the blacksmith shop the lumber yard and store,
to tell the village clerk, cop, about the days of
yore!
THAT the life!" he tells them ALL " Twas

America and Russia

There are several opinions in the United States
about our proper relation to Russia Some OF us
think should have nothing to do with that country
because we do not approve the kind of government
they have there. There others, but compare
lively few who believe that the Russians is ideal
government and that until bring ourselves to
adopt something of the kind should at least
accord kindly recognition There are still others
who do bother themselves about form of gov
ernment but would like see the soviet government
recognized because it would help trade not of
trade generally and universally but the particular
trade in which they engaged.
Most of us, however. do not what kind of
government Russia has. We think that the general
attitude of America toward Russia is represented in
the attitude of Secretary Hughes. He is not
timentalist in respect of Russia although he has
heart and fervent wish for the welfare of
the Russian people. But in the matter Of the recog-
milton of Russia member of the family of nations
he is practical dealing with a practical subject
Delegations calling the secretary of state to
present petitions views about what the United
States should do with reference TO
milton and credit would do well to recall what Sec
retary Hughes had to say about soviet Russia year
ago and bear mind that the conditions in Rus
sa which inspired his statement at that time have
materially changed.
Russia is still economic vacuum" Mr.
Hughes then described it. In its governmental
capacity it has not shown itself to be worthy of
credit from this country Credit is not thing to
be established from without Russia. 1t must come
from Within and requisite is that the authori-
ties in control shall prove to those without by word
and deed that there provided sound basis in
ternationa intercourse Whatever government there
may be-and Secretary Hughes does not undertake
TO say what the type of government shall be-must
disclose both a Willingness and competency to
discharge governmental obligations of interna-
tional character.
One need not go back farther than few weeks
find utterances by those in control of affairs in
Russia which negative any promise that the soviet
government give today the desired certificate of
character. Nothing has been set down in black and
white at Genoa that fulflls the conditions in the
mind of Secretary Hughes. There has been talk
and then talk. Even the lip service is faint and
certain there is evidence of change of heart.
This administration is not cold to the appeals
of the Russian people. The government has shown
its socitude for the welfare of that people. In
that respect its heart is and responsive but
along with atruistic impulse properly goes
business demand-that demand being unmistakable
tokens of worthiness by official Russia in the
council of nations terms respect for
obligations And when recognition has been earned
by this any other Russian government it will be
accorded by the American government

Farm Products and Good Times

One of the chief causes of the late depression
was the low prices of farm products. That was the
main here and everywhere where communities
were dependent upon agriculture. and it may be said
that the community of the United States is de-
pendent.
Within the last month more there has been a
sharper demand higher prices for farm products
all have noticed Improvement of conditions in
all directions.
How it is working over the country is told by
Charles W. Pugsley in Forbes Magazines:
Business men report increasing sales; bankers
say that paying off their debts. Because
of the recent increase in farm prices business is
picking up as rapidly as could be expected.
"Even the farmer Is beginning to decided

tie while ago. all dull gray. He says that he has
not much money left when he gets through paying
interest on his debts and his necessary expenses
both in the West and in the South they told that.
But in both sections farmers hopeful again and
are beginning to believe that they will soon be in
position to do some substantial buying.
During the past few weeks, we have had one OF
the most remarkable increases in the prices of farm
products that the world The value the
exchange power. of farm products increased from
to 124 per cent, hay lying suggishly at the per
cent line and sheep and lambs gambong on to the
124 per cent plane. Corn and wheat increased d
per cent; cattle % per cent; hogs, 81 per cent.
'This increase means much to the American
farmer and it means much to American business be-
cause as found in every state have visited. the
is using the larger returns he is getting from
his crops and live stock pay of his debts
and to buy more of the things he needs than for
long time past.
"The increase amounts to about $12o per farm
in the best agricultural districts"
