Montana farmer, who, In a racy manner, states
his own point of view and experience. This
farmer admits that he, on the start, was taken
with the idea of government assistance. He
wanted the government to buy his wheat "at a
darn god price," as he puts it, also wanted 1t
to pay his threshing bill and to send a govern
ment truck to haul his wheat away. But he soon
awoke to the folly of too much pateralism on the
part of the government, and concluded that rails
ing wheat was a lazy mans job. as it requires
in all only about four months out of the year to
raise and dispose of a crop. The rest of the time
was spent in idleness if only wheat was raised.
He concluded to help himself, instead of depend
ing upon Uncle Sam, so he now raises other crops
in addition to wheat, raises cattle, hogs and poul-
try, and sells his cream to a dairy. The result is
that he owes nothing at the bank and that he is
fairly prosperous.
This farmer has already done what we have
been advising farmers in general to do, that Is to
diversity their activities and not to depend upon
the raising of wheat alone. All kinds of live
stock can be raised anywhere in the United
States. It will pay to raise hogs, cattle, sheep,
poultry and horses. All of them will more than
repay the effort. The price of good horses was
never before so high as now, notwithstanding
the many automobiles and tractors. It costs no
more to rear n good horse than to rear n scrub,
and a farmer is foolish to waste his time on the
latter. 1t pays to raise sheep, both for the wool
and the mutton. Tt should not be necessary for
us to import a pound of either. It also paws to
raise n variety of crops and to practice crop TO.

The Art of Sitting Down

This is the title of a contribution by a writer
in the Atlantic. The burden of the article is that
one cannot get the most out of life either run.
ming or standing. One must know how to sit
down. Only thus can one acquire that under
standing and wisdom which arc necessary for
the true enjoyment of living. With no small skill
the author shows how this is developed in
France and cites numerous examples of French
men who have mastered it. the old coachman,
French compositors and certain shopkeepers.
That We do not have it in this country goes al
most without saying, although we have developed
in its place a technique of loafing which some
idealists mistake for the fine art.
But now comes another Frenchman to show
that this art Is altogether lost, even in France,
and to bewail the fact that no longer will the
Frenchman take the time to sit down, nor will
he give himself over to the peaceful observation
of the world rushing past him which used to be
so fruitful. He points out lugubriously that be-
tween the state of perpetual agitation in which
the postwar Frenchman continually remains
and various forms of mental and moral collapse
there is but an insignificant line of demarcation.
Life becomes daily more hectic, and disaster
looms ahead.
The French author does not point TO some
more distant land as the sanctuary of this lost
art. 1t is perhaps just as well, for even had he
referred us to the Buddhists we should prob.
ably sooner or later have read that the follow.
ers OF Gautama no longer know how to sit down.

the noise and rush in their day, and did not the
Roman fathers shake their locks and bemoan

were improved, and the new ships were built.

The Duty of Communities

In a recent congress devoted to prison reform
1t was developed that seventy+five per cent of all
cases before the criminal courts the offenders
were under the age of twentyone. Among the
better ideas of forestalling Juvenile DELINQUENCY.
were the ones most frequently suggested in the
past, the extension of community system nctiv-
tiles, like the establishment of Fairgrounds,
community ~centers, to provide opportunity for
clean and wholesome recreation, the extension of
the Boy Scout and Girl Scout movements and the
interest of adult organizations in the bow and
girl of today, who may be the criminal of to-
morrow. To provide clean home life free from
dirt and overcrowding that makes decent up.
bringing difficult if not impossible. Combat sus.
pected inherited tendencies with environment
and In nine cases out of ten the victory is easily
attainable.
These efforts present the most fertile field for
philanthropic, civic and Christian endeavor
there is in American life.
Illiteracy, which is prevalent in a far greater
degree than is generally suspected should be
eradicated by the provision of more schools and
a stricter enforcement Of compulsory school at
tendance, by the absolute prohibition of employ.
ment of minors of school age.
To the suggestions made may well be added the
fcrbidding OF sale Of revoivers by federal stat.
ute, exception being made only in rare individual
cases on special permits.
Then there comes pressing for solution the
liquor prohibition problem. Liquor being always
a fruitful cause of crime and law evasion. The
widespread breach of prohibition laws among
otherwise lawnviding citizens tends to create
contempt for all law. The young are quick TO
sense the situation and If elders disobey what
may be expected from the young?
With reference to this particular cause of
crime those who have made a study OF the cues
ton have reached the conclusion that II the pro.
hibition law cannot be enforced in the future
moro effectually than in the past IL were better
to acknowledge frankly its unenforcibillty, and
to change the law to n more liberal interpreted.
ton or system of prohibition capable of enforce.
ment.
There IS no such thing as a single crime prob.
lem TO be settled by n single prescription for its
cure. There is an individual problem In each
case Of crime committed. While adult cases
should in no sense be neglected, the hope of per-
manent reform is remote in comparison with
what may be expected to result by applying pre-.
ventive measures in the case OF children.
The hope of the country is always In the ris.
ing generation and the generation of the pres.
ent, on the scene of action should have the wis
dom and foresight TO direct the footsteps of the
oncoming men and women into the pathway of
honor and good citizenship.
Every community should interest itself in this
feature OF life. It is worth while. It is more
worthy in every respect than making money and
being able to leave children more wealth than
is good fer them.

Old Time Record

DoUGLAs-An interesting old
ledger, the property of z. l. C.
Schneider of Douglas. was last week
donated by him to the Wyoming
Historical Society and will prove a
valuable addition to the exhibit Of
the society. The ledger originally
belonged { o the Suffers store at old
Fort Fetterman when tho post vas
g%arrlsoned by United States troops.
II contains a record of the sales at
the store for the year 1875. ~ years
ago. and apparently the owners did
a business that would enable It to
qualify rs q department store.
Everything was carried in stock.
from thread TO cordwood. and the
prices in many instances were less
than they are today, although the
post was 200 miles away from a
railroad and the manufactured goods
had to be freighted in by bull teams.
Many familiar names APPEAR on the
list of customers, including John
Huntcn Of Fort Laramie, George
Powell. the late Captain OBrien
OF Douglas, and many others.
The store. in addition TO It's line
OF dry goods. groceries and miscel.
laneous goods. did a lucrative liquor
business. Its best customers along
this line some OF tho officers

qusntly APPEAR on the list. but the
goods from this department appear

The Sane Solution

Many Casper people know and admire Fred r.
Marvin. He was formerly editor Of tho Rocky
Mountain Banker and has frequently visited
here. Lately he has joined the staff of the New
York Commercial and is prosecuting a general
campaign against Industrial disturbers and
those who would tear down American institu-
lions and set up their place theories and ideas
born out of the ignorance of the lower orders of
Europe.
Mr.. Marvin, writing from Great Falls, Mont,
calls attention to the fact that Montana is not,
as SO many seem TO think, purely n mining state.
On the contrary he states that it has Exception
ally rich agricultural resources" which, when
fully developed, will support a great population.
Wheat, however, has been the principal crop up
to date, and wheat, under present conditions, is
not a paying crop. Clever agitntors have taken
advantage of this fact to seek to create dissatis-
faction among the farmers and TO induce them
to adopt socialistic ideas. To some extent these
loud.mouthed, smooth-talking, plausible soviets
have been successful in catching the fancy of the
farmers.
Fortunately, however, sober second thought
has convinced the majority of them that the pam
acea proposed by the demagogues is worse than
the ills which they propose 10 remedy. They
realize that price guarantee is not the proper
remedy for once applied, 1t would extend to
other than farm products and would simply re-
suit in a system of general price-fixing. Thus
incentive to enterprise and activity would be
Largely destroyed among a large percentage OF
the psNpls.

Permanent Building

DIR. Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus OF
Harvard. said recently that the Increased cost
~ home building has had a more deleterious IN
f1ence on the American mode of living thah any
other change since the opening of the twentieth
century.
This is largely true, because 1t tends toward
<nean building or decreased home ownership
Part of the increased cost OF home puliulhs
comes from advances in wages and materials "A
large mart also comes from the demand Tor nome
convenience, such as improved ventilating, IN
CREASED light, better furnaces and plumbing,
rJotbes chrtes and breakfast hooks. Such in
creased costs for conveniences are OF course, oe-
Hirable.
Under the pressure of higher costs there comes
the temptation to skimp in the quality OF build
ing materials. The pleasing appearance OF a
house when first built may cover poor materials
and workmanship, but in n short time shoddy is
n t~elltale. What should be of chief concern, Is
not how cheaply one can build but how well.
Permanent building is in the end the only eco
nomical building. Shoddy construction means
quick deterioration. 1t may result in n large
scale cheapening of neighborhoods, loss in prop
erty values and greatly increased costs OF NUM-
cipal government, because of an unnecessary
spread of population to outlying districts.
Building for permanence is an important Gle
ment in keeping property values stable and
neighborhoods up to high levels. As DR.. Eliot
suggests, public education should do its part to
warn builders of the inevitable cost of the
shoddy.
