THE OCCUPATIONS OF LIFE
Wishin, workin', wonderin'-what else does peo-
pie do?
Wishin', when tn sun is hid, that skies was al
ways blue;
Wishin', when it's clear awhile, 'twould pucker
up an rain
Wishin', workin' wonderin, an most of it in
vain!
Workin' wishin' wondern-theres little else to
Workin, always workin' an a-wishin' we was
through!
Workin', hand an head an heart, an DRAWN,
day by day,
Wages that is smaller than we think tn job
should pay.
Wonderin', workin', wishin'-while we live we're
never through!
Wonderin' what we're at is what we orta do;
Wonderin which friend t. trust an who we orta
doubt
Mainly though we wonder what tn wonders
all about.-Strckland Gillian.

FARM RELIEF WILL COME.

= N the long haul farm relief possibly will come
l from. what few years ago would have been
L considered an unexpected source. The COM
ing Congress may pass farm relief bill and
the president may sign it, thus giving agricul-
ture the federal aid so long sought. However,
there has been another federal factor at work
since 1914 when the Smith-Lever act went
through, from which are just now beginning
to obtain results.
In fact, the Smth-Lever act made possible
a demonstration of the Bible truism, "a little
child shall lead them" The Smith-Lever act
gave power to the department OF agriculture to
put into effect extension work in agriculture and
home economics on farms by cooperating with
State Agriculture colleges.
In other words-it made possible boy
and girl farm clubs. This year there are 51O,-
s55 young people enrolled in federally controlled
farm club work. 1t is needless to state here
how these club members function. We all know
of the pig, cow, poultry, garden, forestry, cook
ing, sanitation and health club members and
their activities. We all know that our boys and
girls can enter club work and competition only
under the direction of trained local federal
agents We know that they taught to do all
things agriculturally by newest and most scien-
tific methods
Age limitations for farm club entry is 10 to
18 years. Therefore, every year now a new
class is graduating into active scientific work
and the standard of our agriculture effort be-
comes higher and higher. Within the lapse OF
ten years our agricultural leaders will mostly
be graduates of this intensive vocational train
ing system They will have LEARNED by doing y
They will know how to figure costs. Agricul-
ture will be on a business basis and making
money. As it should have been all through the
years-Farmington Tribune.

What has become of the old-fash-
toned woman who stayed at home Sat-
urday afternoon because she could not
leave the bread in the oven for fear it
would burn? asks the Blue Earth Post.
Mother has become wise in her day and
generation! She has learned that the baker,
because he bakes in quantity, can furnish her
lust as good bread and more economically than
she can bake it at home. So she sends the kids
to the bakery to buy it-and she goes out and
enjoys herself as a good housewife is entitled to
DO. If Dad can play golf Saturday afternoon
Mother ought to be allowed a bridge game or a
tea party She will still bake an occasional
batch of bread, just to keep her hand in and to
give the family a change. But the bulk of the
heavy baking viii be done by the bakeries equip
ped and arranged to do just this sort of thing
by the most efficient methods and IN the most
approved manner. And the sooner Mother gets
the notion that Laundry work can be best and
most cheaply done comparatively, too, just that
much sooner will her family be kept immaculate
with greater ease and at less ultimate expendi-
ture for labor and in doctors bills Women have
been rather slow to adopt the notion that the
big function of machinery is to enable human
beings to live life more abundantiy- but they
are gradually arriving. May the day hasten-

MUSS0LINI GLAD
 ID MEET BRAND
Italian and French PreInierS to
 Have Interview

Rome, Dec. Is LPNPremier Mus solini will be glad to meet Foreign Minister Briand Of France for "a solemn consecration of an under standing between France and Italy" he told his council ministers today.
 Such Q meeting, however. he said, should not take place before the professional diplomats of both coun- tries have done their work of iron ing out a few remaining points Of friction.
 Il Duce reaifirmed the new Italy's desire for peace with dignity, and speaking Of the F'ranco-Jugoslav pact which has been criticised as a threat to Italy--which he acknowl- edged Italy had been asked to sub scribe to after the two contracting powers had initIaled it-he declared 1t was perfectly correct from an international and League of Nations viewpoint.
 But the interpretation given that pact at Belgrade in responsible and Irresponsible circles has created a certain impression, world wide ex- cept in Italy which has not lost her sangfroid and her discipline"
 The premier stressed the fact that the Italo- Albanian pact concluded eleven days after the signature of the Franco -Jugoslavian treaty was not a direct effect of the latter. The Italo-Albanian treaty, lie reiterated, had "an absolutely pacific character designed to conciliate and harmonize fundamental needs and interests Of two nations facing each other across the Adriatic Sea"
 Taking up relations with France II Duce cited M. Briand's recent most friendly speech" and the re cent signing ct d modus vivendl be- tween the two nations as two fac's which permit belief in the possibility of clarifying relations between the two countries
 Speaking of Italy's internal sltua- ton the premier declared that the nation was continuing its 'dls- cipljned silent action He rejoiced over the solemn and imposing com- memoration of the fifth anniversary of the fascist march on Rome, ob- served with no disturbance of pub lie order and commented with pride upon the efforts of the government to combat unemployment, which he felt certain would soon be greatly abated.
 As proof of his confidence In the durability of the fascist regime ne announced that 250 out of 500 pollt- ical prisoners would soon be freed and a large number conditionally liberated '.in view of the peoples perfect tranquility and the evident absolute innocuousness of continued attempts against fascism."
