BY GEORGE BRITT
NEA Service Writer

CT. CHARLES, ILL.,, July g.
Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Average
~ Young Couple:
you might like to try polo, but you
get your exercise pushing the lawn
mower, don't you?
You realize the refined pleasure of
breakfast at 10 a. m, but you find it
necessary to begin the days work
soon after daybreak, don't you?
You would like a yacht, but you
do your navigation on the village
creek or pond after supper. in a 25-
cents-an-hour rowboat, don't you?
How About 1t?
And if you start off with the love
of one another and enough income to
rent a freshly painted bungalow and
hire one servant girl to help cook,
you think yourselves lucky. don't you?
so do we. So do we.
You wouldn't trade Main Street,
and the old neighbors for all the
boulevards of Paris would you? And
If the world kept intruding into your
little home nest, asking all kinds of
questions and holding out its hand for
contributions. you'd get shy and ner-
vous, Ell?
You're certainly right. Well, our
sympathy and the smiles of kindred
understanding to you.
'Averagely yours,

Come wealth or want, come good

Let young and old accept their part.
And bow before the awful will,
And bear 1t with an honest heart.

But if you fall, or If you rise,
Be each, pray God, a gentleman.

AS It Might Be
BY BERTON BRALEY


If all we wanted came to hand,
Responsive to our least demand,
If al we hoped for we could get
Without a bit of work or fret.
If WEAKNESS and constant strife
Were absent from our daily life;
And everything that really matters
Were slipped to us on silver platters.
If dreams we cherish should come
true
Simply because we wished them to;
And what we wanted or required
Should come exactly as desired;
We'd miss, perhaps, a certain zest
That comes from meeting every test,
And life might prove fearful bore
After a dozen years or more;
Cur moral fiber might decay
From having everything our way;
But most of us, we can't deny it,
Would like little chance to try it,!

VELVET FOR FARMER IN
STATE FAIR PRIZE AWARDS

Now is the time for the Montana
farmer who has a good crop to exert
a little extra effort that will bring N
considerable extra money. Here's the
formula: Get premium list of the
Montana State fair and look over 1t
to ascertain what prizes are offered
for the crops that you are growing !;
then look over the fields and spot
where the crop is of the best quality.
When it's ready to harvest, garner
these best crops by themselves and en-
ter them for the State fair at Helena,
September 1928 inclusive. The cash
premiums awarded will yield big re-
turns on the extra time and effort.
The same holds true for the grower
Of purebred livestock, pigs for in
stance. Take the typey, growthy ones,
give them little more grain and
little more care and enter them at the
State fair. The cash awards are well
worth going after and the state wide

ners will rapidly advance them In the
