Opinions of Others
STICK TO THE FARM

We country folk seem to have
a tendency to believe that the
working man in the cities has a
great deal more of time. money
and pleasure than we have; and
from our angle of view it does
appear so. But, after all, is it
a fact?
If we look at wages received
for a days work the city man is,
Of course, far ahead. He gets
from $500 to $1,000 a day ac-
cording to the line of work he is
employed in.
The tanner has no fixed wage
for his work. he must trust to
Providence for a return; both he,
his wife and children, and his
hired help get only from $l.00 to
$500 a day. and the working day
is twice as long as the city mans,
| see that some Of our farm pa
pes and city journals call a lot
of the farmers work, just pot
tering around, and that the far
mer really works no more than
eight hours a day the year
around: and in that they are
right, if the part called potter,
ing around" is not considered

work. But much of the city
mans work is no more strenu-
Gus than this "pottering, and
am very sure that should the
city man be required to change
off for a few days with the far
mer, he would admit it.
Now, the farmer, as a rule,
does not complain of the long
hours; he likes his work and
takes pride in it, not only be-
cause it must be done so he can
live, but much more because he
wishes his farm to appear well
kept with everything looking
spick and span, and because he
loves the animals entrusted to
his care as we'll as his fellowmen
and the members of his house
hold. He feels that he is re-
sponsible for that little world of
his, and he believes it his duty
to till and care for it in such
way that he may leave it more
beautiful and a better place to
live than it was when he found
it. This is a very commendable
trait. So what he kicks and
complains about is really not the
long hours nor the hard work,
but the fact that, even after he
has put in all this hard labor and
"pottering around, he receives
not enough in return for his pro-
ducts to pay interest on his cap
ital invested and taxes to the
state, the county, the township
and the school, not to mention
the salary he promised his min
ister for the upbuilding of his
soul.
This is a great injustice to the
man who furnishes to all of us
the things necessary for the sus-
tenance of life, on whom we are
all-rich and poor-depending
for the good things to eat. His
return should be great enough to
cover all those charges and to
leave little for vacation. or
pleasure trip, once in decade
at least, for himself and his fam
lily, and there should also be
left enough reserve so he could
hire caretaker for the farm
while he is away.
Most of us, in whatever walk
of life, need to get away from
home occasionally to see how
the other fellow lives, and TO get
a distant view of our everyday
surroundings in order to appre-
ciate the good things we have.
1t is so much easier to potter
around" when we return to our
duties.
However, the farmer can not
get away on such a vacation if he |
has not the means to hire care
takers for the farm while he is
gone. The city man may lock his
door and go when a vacation is
granted him, and all he stands to
lose is his wages for the days he
is away, and in many instances
not even that, as a number are
granted a vacation every year on
full pay; but if the farmer
locked his door and went away
with no one to do the "pottering
around he would lose not alone
his wages for the time gone, but
most likely his earnings for the
whole year and in many cases
much more. 1t simply can't be
done.
Well, the conclusion seems to
be that we had better all go to
the cities, and leave the country
go to the dogs. But let us see
now, how ideal the city mans
life is.

Don't
Dribble
Your
Money
Away
4ss
N(

Your wish is to become
the owner of something
worth while. Something
that will make you better,
happier and more useful. 1t
may be a beautiful home, a
good farm, a grand piano, an
automobile, a trip abroad, a
visit to California or some
other thing worthy of attain
ment that you have in mind.
There is no reason why
your wish should not be full
filled; but your dreams must
be followed up with resolve
and action. You must work
with that end in view.
Most people do work, but
only a few attain the desired
goal. Why is that? They
dribble their money away.
They spend a nickle here, a
dime there and a quarter or
a dollar elsewhere. When
the week or the month is
out, the last penny is spent.
Sometimes, if we have made
a practice of saying charge
it,, it will not even reach
around. We have spent more
than we have earned, and we
are on the down grade. If
we find ourselves there the
only salvation is to put on
the brakes good and hard at
once. 1t will be very diff
cult to climb to the top
again, but it can be done.
Now. it is just as easy to
save money as it is to drib-
BILE it away. If we keep our
nickles and dimes together
they make in a very short
time dollars. Just make it
a practice to drop in at the
bank with your loose change,
get a deposit receipt and
store it away; the bank will
do the rest-add your drib-
blings together, pay you in
terest on it, and surprise you
at the end of the year with a
statement of your sum total.
Now, understand, this does
not mean that you should be
a miser. It only means that
you should be wise in deny
ing yourself some of the mi
nor and questionable pleas
ures in order to realize some
of the greater things of life.
Young man and young wo-
man. try this manner of saw
ing. You will be pleased
with the result. You will
value yourself a better citi-
zen, and rightly so, and your
fellowmen will esteem you
more.

hear a woman of Mrs. Olesen's
ability as she is classed with
able masculine orators. She is
still young woman-perhaps
about the forty mark maybe
n woman's age should not be
pondered over) and can develop
greatly yet she appears to be
well posted on a great variety of
subjects and questions of the
day.
The topic of Mrs. Olesen's adj
dress was THE Meaning of Mo
dern Life, but she spoke on
various matters for about thirty
minutes before launching upon
her regular address. Her cam
paign for the office of United
States Senator on the Democra-
tic ticket last fall was touched
upon. She said that woman
will not admit defeat: votes
were simply counted against her.
One day during the campaign
she received a newspaper way
over from Toxic, Japan. which in
an article dwelling on world pol
tiles stated that Mrs. Olesen, the
Minnesota Democrat, stood for
international peace. This she
felt, even if nothing more, was
enough compensation for the
campaign she had waged-the
fact that she stood for interna-
tional peace and had done what
she could to further the cause.
Mrs, 0lesen went on and re-
marked substantially as follows:
Married life is the oldest insti-
tuition known, being brought up
to present day history from the
Garden of Eden. There were no
churches and schools at that
time.
There has been a revolution
in politics the past six years.

What's Coming
"I have said nothing about the
agricultural outlook for this section
because I shall treat that in detail
next week, when discussing the
purely agricultural states. Suffice
to say, found it improving and
very much better than year ago.
The wiser farmers, however, are
going more into dairying and the
raising of garden products. Beans,
paes, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, po-
tatoes, fruits, etc, are becoming the
most profitable products. Dairying
and poultry raising alone is bring
ing about $400.000,000 year into
this section. Because of the diver
sity Of income and the increasing
profits, l feel optimistic as to the
farming possibilities within reason
able trucking distance of good sized
cities. When the farmers of this
section get a broader vision and
realize that each prospers, only as
the other prospers, then they all can
prosper. The great enemy Of the
average farmer is not the natural
elements without himself--but rath
er those human elements within him
self. Creative nature has been good
to the farmer, but human nature has
been the farmers greatest obstacle.
When the farmers eliminate jealousy
they will start on the highway of
prosperity-but not until. The best
antidote for jealousy is cooperation

is what all Americans need today -

the automobile. The first industries
to benefit from the building boom
were the cement and brick people,
then the lumber and steel interests
began to prosper. Now the copper,
paints and other industries are pick

true-although when the boom cul-

comes, the cement and brick people
will be the first to feel the decline.

"I'he last great industry to bene-
fit from a building boom is the fur
niture industry. After house is
built, new furniture is always pur-
chased, even though the family
moves from some other house. Now
nearly four-fifths of the furniture
manufactured in the United States
is made in this Industrial West.

to be even furniture shortage.
Those who contemplate buying new
furniture during 1923 should make
their purchases at once. The indus
