Oscar E. Bradfute of Ohio is the

Bureau Federation. Mr.. Bradfute is
one of the nations best known farm
ers, owning and operating a large
farm in his home state, where he has
one of the finest herds of Aberdeen
Angus in the West.
The Farm Bureau, in few words,
is the service organization of the
farmers of this country. 1t was
founded by men of vision. It's
activities include every known phase
and element of American agriculture.
1t has no prejudices, no animosities,
no race or color lines, political debts
or affiliations, no destructive tenden-
cies, no grudges to work of, and it
asks for no special privileges. 1t
does not believe that agriculture
should rule the world, but it does be-
lieve that the farmers of this coun-
try have a definite responsibility in
the conducting Of public affairs and
should receive equal consideration
with other industries. The Farm
Bureau is not fad, not a Whim, not
luxury, but a necessity to the farm
ers of the state and nation.

Dear NJ. B. Family:


When | select poem for the
column, | am always hoping it will
be just the right message for some
one. Our needs are never the same
because our experiences and circum-
stances are different. A few stanzas
of cheer, like the above, sent by &C, y
often give one an uplift, even though
they have troubles or sorrows, which
seem to overshadow them. | wonder
if there is not some one line in the
poem which will prove to be to some
one a ray of light.
A. NJ. Y. has called my attention to
the word ''turmeric," which, in her
recipe for pickles, was spelled
''tumeric' She can not find it
spelled without the letter ''r' in any
dictionary of hers. She would like
to say that she knows how to spell
or thinks she does. In the picking
season, when the word is frequently
used, perhaps some who use it do not
know of what it is made. 1t is the
root-stock of an East Indian plant
yielding a yellow color used in dye
ing. There is nothing said about its
seasoning qualities.

Britain Finds German Suits

Style and Quality.
international News Service.

LONDON, Nov. S.-Berlin threat
ems to challenge London tallors'
fashionably clothes. German
firms are now attempting to demon
strate that they can turn out mems
suits equal to those Of Savile Row
at less than half the price.
A German, whose dress suit was
absolutely faultless in style, fit and
material, has recently been staying
at one of the chief London hotels.
An Englishman said to him: "You
have lost no time in finding a good
London tailor"
"You are mistaken" said the
German, this suit was turned out
by our people in Berlin"
The immaculate visitor was a
traveller for one of the German
firms which is commencing business
in London with the idea of making
suits for English customers, of supe-
rior cut and cloth and, even more,
cut to measure, at less than half the
price charged by the chief London
tailors.
If there is any difficulty about
trying on" it may soon be that
Englishmen will find it worth their
while to go to Berlin or Cologne,
order, say, three suits and an over.
coat and then return, well in pocket,
even after paying all expenses.
British officers ever since the
armistice have been having all their
clothes-even army uniforms-made
in Germany, and they contend that
they get goods equal to the best
made in London at less than so per
cent of the price.

or step out!
Boiled down to final stages Of
brevity, this IL. the creed Of the
United Power and Telephone Com
pany OF Abilene. By which AL its
employees from the office boy up
must abide.
Cleyson L. Brown, president Of
the company, Is responsible for the
unique thrift plan. He cofnpels
his workers to save at least 10 per
cent of their earnings in safely
chartered investments that bring an
equitable cash return.
The measure was adopted, not be
cause the firm cared particularly
how the employees disposed Of their
salaries, but in the interest Of eff
ficiency, according to Brown.
II put the system into operation
only after it was found through .
survey that q majority Of my EN-
ployes were losing in efficiency be-
cause they were III debt or spent
more than they earned" the owner
said.
The plan, according to it's instiga-
tor, has proved highly successful.
Figures compiled by Brown show
$225, 900 OF wages distributed DUR
ing the first year was invested in
q variety Of reliable stocks.
Under the ruling money applied
toward the liquidation Of debt IL
considered a saving, as does money
applied as q sinking fund against
the principal Of debt on d home.
Sums invested in automobiles
monographs and hope chests are
not recognized under terms Of the
thrift scheme.
Strict adherence TO the rule Il
established through savings direc-
tor, the result being that no en-
ploye can continue drawing his sal
airy without presentation Of bona
fide evidence he has saved at least
10 per cent Of the previous weeks
income.
what is good for the cougrega-
ton does equally well for the
preacher is Browns theory. Hence
he has accomplished much IN the
way of thrift himself.
Today the president Of the power
firm Is considered one Of the veal
thiest men in Kansas, despite the
fact that he emerged from the farm
in the early 90's with his sole prop
erty being tuInble-doWn water
