1t Is found that more than two bill
lion dollars worth Of business was
done last year by organizations of
American farmers.
1t has long been said that the ag-
riculturalist is primarily q business
man, but it is only of late that he
has compelled recognition in this ca.
pacity by adopting the most up-to-
date methods Of business men in other
lines.
Collectively he is the greatest of
capitalists, also the greatest of pro-
duccrs. His weak point has been dis.
tribution. When he learns to dist
ribute his products as manufacturers
do, he will have his business built
upon a rock. Through cooperation
and the employment of skilled exec
utives to handle his goods, he may do
for himself more than the government
can ever do for him.--St. Joseph Ga
zettc.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
WHY THEY GO

The congregation of a New Eng
land church has just filled out list
of questions submitted by its pastor
telling him the reason they attend
church. Thirty per cent say they go
from a sense of religious duty, rs per
cent because of the music, and 22 per
cent for the enjoyment of the fell
lowship Of the church. A respectable
per centage admitted they attend
from force of habit, and others said
they liked the pastor. Half dozen
young men admitted that two pretty
choir singers were the attraction and
20 Others that they go to church be-
cause their girls go. We would GER
tainly like to know the answers to-
list of such questions submitted
by one of the ministers in Mountain
Home, for try as hard as we can we
can't figure out what takes some
fellows to church regularly one day
every week and then permits them
to carry a crouch and a frown the
other six.

WHITE SWAN LAUNDRY

then and there we were willing to
stake our last summers straw hat
that he never had to drive an old
road wagon when the tires were
screaking on frozen road and with
team that moved like snails. He
didn't have to drink his water out OF
frozen bucket with a gourd that
was econd cousin to an icicle; he
probably didn't have to sleep in a
room that hadn't fireplace, CRATE
or stove and didn't have to get up in
the morning to view ice pictures on
the window panes that looked like
somebody had splattered them with
buttermilk. On top of that, he did
not have to shovel his way to the
barn two squares away and milk
from two to six cows, everyone of
them with a deadly ball of mud
frozen in her tail right where it was
convenient for her to switch it
around and catch a fellow alongside
the head; and right after breakfast
he didn't have to walk two miles
through wind so raw fellow was
afraid to rub his ears for fear they
would break of in his hand.
We can stand our share of cold
weather, but when it comes to liking
it, there's nothing to it. We've no
against what the poet calls
"a shwred and nipping air." but
when we got out of the sled and skate
age and started in fighting the world
for our own share of the bread and
butter that was being passed around,
we got out of the habit of liking cold
weather. We learned that a fellow
does more and better work with his
coat off and his sleeves rolled up
so they can mark us up as disagree
ing with the fellow who says he likes
cold weather-and they can send us
he shirt-sleeye brand all the year
round if they want to.

WASTING TIME AND MONEY

Congress seems to have given uI
all idea of enacting legislation and
turned detective. For several weeks
that body has been in session, and
during the entire time little If any
thing has been done outside of con-
Quoting Investigations and probes
that are costly to the taxpayers and
which promise to produce no real
benefits to anyone. Probing oil
scandals, probing newspaper peace
plan, probing an alleged whiskey
ring in the Capital, probing this,
that and the other has kept the con-
gressmen so busily engrossed that
they haven't yet found time to do
that which their constituents sent
them down there to do-pass laws
that will help the producers of this
country get better prices and laws
that will more evenly distribute the
tax burdens of this nation Isn't it
about time that we quit talking our
lawmakers seriously and serve no
tice on them that their only hope of
another term lies in their ability to
make good this one?

IT IS TIME TO MILK

1T is time to milk" is the home.
ly expression used by Governor G. c.
Moore in calling attention to the
dairy demonstration train and the
necessity of the farmers of the state
to do intensive farming as one solu-
tion of the embarrassing financial
problems of the day.
Il remember as a boy I was en-
joying a July Fourth celebration in
small town." said the Governor,
"and 1 was much interested in the
fireworks scheduled for the evening.
But | was soon told by my father 1t
is time to milk, and we drove home
in the twilight with the fireworks in
the rear and the cows looming up
ahead. The display was forgotten in
the less inspirational task of milk
ing the cows. 1 did not appreciate
the situation that day, but it was
the best lesson 1 ever learned"
To-day, following the fireworks of
the late war and the peak of prices,
let us take stock, and turning our
backs to the spread eagle, let us
remember 1t is time to milk
This is no time for the burning
of money or throwing it away on
wildcat investments. Let us get
down to earth. The farmer of to-day
can not afford to gamble on one
crop basis, but must resort to di-
yersified production and rotation Of
crops"
Much of the difficulty concern
ing freight rates may be obviated by
utilizing our bulky produce at home
and shipping out the concentrated or
manufactured product We have a
good example of this process in the
manufacture of beet sugar. If we
feed our bulky hay to the COWS and
let them manufacture milk and
cream we have solution of many Of
our problems. Cheese factories,
creameries and condensers in the
state mean the keeping of our money
at home and more prosperity than
the state has ever known.
"In the state there are more than
10000 dairy cows, chiefly of five
types, Holstein. Guernsey, Jersey,
Brown Swiss and Ayrshire. Each is
a potential laboratory taking grass
from the field and converting it in
to the most perfect food for man. ri
you take care of them they will take
care of you, even in your old age.
What Idaho needs now is more men
with milk on their shoes. Let us fol-
low the milky way, not up in the air,
but down on the farm"
Cows will bring success to Idaho.
1t is the greatest dairy state under
the sun, according to an eminent
Let us teach more child
rem to milk and fewer to fox-trot. j"
Again, say, at is time to milk. >,

ONE MANS SECRET

A 14-year-old boy, George Black,
built himself a wagon out of four
wheels, an egg crate and some other
material, then went to peddling mer-
chandise for eggs among farm folks
around the town of Pigeon, Mich.
He became known to every farmer
for miles around A few years later
he opened store. The business out
grew it and he bought big factory
building. Recently he built a three
story addition to that. Black now
does a business of $350,O0O a year in
this town of 500 population. People
for miles around trade with him.
Statesmen in his store work on COM
mission, his hardware clerk averages
$3.50 month and the woman at his
notion counter makes $50 a week.
His bushes nets about $1,000 day.
Mt long ago a merchant in a larger
town took day off and went to
Pigeon solely to ask George Black
il he cared to divulge the secret OF
his success. Black smilingly said he
was glad to tell the world his secret;
ad he told it in words we want every
merchant in and around Mountain
Home to read and commit to mem
DRY. He said:
II offer nothing but real bargains
and advertise in the newspapers
in small towns around Pigeon.
There's no secret to advertising
has done it for me-"
