Jardine EXPLAINS Plan.

Secretary Jardine emphasized his
belief that the plan would not put the
Government into the business of buy
ing and selling farm products and that
1t was 'in no sense scheme OF price
fixing" -,
"As a means Of handling surpluses.
the Secretary stated, this plan is in
accord with proposals which L nave
indorsed before. Success depends on
the Willingness of farmers to organize
on a large scale, and to adopt strong
business policies. Producers must be
willing to build from the bottom up.
They must forget any petty quarrels
between local leaders and organlZa-
tions. and federate their locals into re-
gional and national organizations han
ding large volumes of business. The
hest minds. experienced in the trade
must head such organizations. With
such a set-up the Government could
do much more than it has done.
THE suggested plan of handling sur
pluses of staple crops is not at all
question of more credit to rut the
farmer deeper in debt but one OF
suitable credit to put him in a better
position to handle his surplus.
Effective cooperation must be built

BILE, but the fact that they do not
come to all minds equally. and
that to the. majority of minds
they do not come at all, is very
easily explained. Edison him
self is living explanation. He
is never idle. never inert; he
keeps the mysterious medium of
ideas continually in motion, con.
stantly eddying around his mind.
A new idea seeking a lodging
sees the open door and enters.
And when it gets inside it finds
itself in an atmosphere of intensi-
fled action. 1t is not luxurious
hotel inviting to repose, but a
workshop, marVelously busy, over
whose entrance might be read:
"All hope (of idleness) abandon,
we who enter herer'
But that doesn't scare new
ideas. An idea is a seed, chock.
full of vitality. and it asks moth.
ing better than to be planted
and set growing.
In addition to all the direct
physical benefits that Edison has
bestowed upon the world, he has
given a moral impulse, through
lbs gospel of work, that is doubly
valuable at the present time.
When they asked him when he
expected to retire. he replied: "A
few days before the funeral"
And militant atheism will find
no comfort in his declaration: II
believe there is q Supreme Intel
ligence pervading the universe.

TRANSFORMED by time from
a wizard" into a sage" Mr..
Edison on his eightieth birthday
gave out many wise and interest.
ing answers from the accumulated
stores of his meditations and ex-
periences. In the sparkling cur
rent that flowed from his pencil
appear two remarks, which sup
port each other. and seem to
have been born on the very verge
where human philosophy meets
the unknown-perhaps the I'M
movable.
"A real new thing" said he,
like a general idea, a beautiful
melody, Is pulled out of space-a
fact which is inexplicable."
Again, he said, in answer to
further inquiries about invention:
Stored up experience is the prin-
cipal thing, but the key to sue
cessful methods comes unsolicited
right out of the air.
/ have emphasized the two con-
cordant phrases. They bring out
prominently the mystery of the
origin of thought. 1t is like the
mystery of the origin and power
of faith.
BY Concentration
When Sir Isaac Newton was
asked how he had achieved his
great work, he replied: by always
intending my mind" /. e., by con-
centratfng his thought, holding it
upon the subject. 1t is thus that,
as Edison puts it, the key comes
unsolicited out of the air, pulled
out of space"
But remark how in every case
of great discoverer or inventor
there Is a recognition by himself
OF his impotence to do more than
set his faculties on the qui vive
and attend the coming of the key.
Not that he is idle meanwhile,
but quite the contrary. The ef-
fort itself of holding the mind
intent is probably the greatest
test OF mental strength. As Edi-
sons tireless nights and days of
thinking show. the waiting is in
truth a constant striving. The

Under the circumstances
recommend that you follow his

a card. / think that letter re-

he made would be a bit too much
especially since he is returning
to town in such a short time.
Why rot choose a "home town
scene" on a card and write on it

bit facetious, perhaps something
about the card you have chosen.

Most emphatically you are right.
A widow uses the same form of

No, this kind of dress is not of

which is usually sleeveless. A
