reached by representatives Of the con-
! tending forces which, it is believed,
! If quickly enacted into law and literally
administered, will fill the gap between
the necessities of those who are prop
| erly recipients of Red Cross assistance
and the requirements Of those who are
capable. il given credit. of carrying on
their own farm operations. The pro-
posed compromise arrangement LIBERAL
ICES the use of the forty-flve million
dollar seed loan fund by the removal
of certain restrictions imposed by regu-
lation and by express authorization OF
the purchase of food for live stock
other than work stock.
1t also provides an additional ap-
preparation of $25,000,000 to be used
by the Secretary of Agriculture in
making loans to individuals for the
capital stock of agricultural credit
corporations, live stock loan companies
or similar organizations. Assuming
that 100000 of the $$20,000, 900 will
be used for this purpose, If necessary,
there will result a credit expansion Of
more than $3000000
The Secretary of Agriculture is also
authorized to use the $20,000,000
fund ito make advances or loans to
farmers for crop production for the
crop of 1881 and for further agricul-
tural rehabilitation in the drought
areas"
1t is not proposed in this address to
enter into a technical discussion of
what may or may not be done under
this appropriation. Loans for seed, feed,
fertilizer and fuel oils are expressly
provided for in the S45,000,000 item. and
such part of the $40 900 900 as shall not
be used for the capital stock of agri-
cultural credit corporations may be
loaned "for crop production and for
further agricultural rehabilitation"
which language is comprehensive and
inclusive.
I have no doubt that fair applica-
ton of the remedies provided in the
proposed compromise arrangement.
supplemented by the relief afforded by
the Red Cross to those who cannot
obtain loans will prove satisfactory and
highly beneficial.

Look at the Average
BY BRUCE BARTON,

~ NE of my friends, who
now occupies a high
position, started life
q, - as a salesman for the
National Cash Register Co.
He thought that If he could
sell cash registers to Marshall
Field it would be a big feather
in his cap, and the example OF
this leading store would have
influence with smaller mer-
chants all over the country.
So he called at Fields and
made his talk, but received no
encouragement. The next
year he called again :. and
the next and the next.
The tenth year he came away
with an order for $150,000.
In telling me about it he
remarked: II said to myself,
that's $4,000 worth of busi-
ness for each of the 10 years.
Not a bad average at ALL"
In 1929 when stock prices
were crashing and even the
richest men were feeling poor,
a New York banker met a
capitalist whose fortune on
paper, had Shrunk many mil
lion dollars. He was in a blue
funk.
The banker said: "You ought
to have learned better than
this. Don't you remember
back in 1920 how worried you
were, and how you sent for
me to reaSSure you? Even at
present prices you must be
worth 10 times what you were
then. If so, your average is
mighty good. What are you
kicking about?"
A young man and young
woman were married. After
the ceremony the brides
father, a veteran business
man who had fought hard
for his fortune, took them into
his study. II want to say just
one thing to you" he re-
marked. "You must not ex-
pect that all your years will
be good. You'll go along for
a while without seeming to
get ahead, but at the end of
every year you'll own a little
more furniture and have a
few more dollars in the bank.
Then there will come a year
some time when you'll have a

stroke Of luck and make a lot
of progress. You must expect
to average the good with the
bad"
It seems to me that much
of the worry and fretting in
life grow out of the fact that
people do not take a long
enough look.
Every human life at some
point has seemed handicapped
and doomed to disappoint-
ment. At 40 Henry Ford had
never saved a cent. At As
Lincoln was a disappointed
politician. For Is years
Charles Darwin worked day
after day without the slightest
recognition. Then, for each
of them, there came a few
great years that amply made
up for all the rest.
The law of compensation
works for those who keep
their industry and their faith.
Those who quit under dis
couragement are selling out
at the bottom. For a majority
of courageous lives, taking all
the years together, the aver
age is good.

INSTALLMENT XIV.

~ UT these were bright times. In
- spite Of Patricia's devotion, life
with her was by no means all
Joy and peace A dominant
will, an uncannily mature mind
armed with the misunderstood cynicism
of a disappointed father, much charm
and no sense of discipline whatever
enough to do. If she and the child
had not formed bond that was almost
that of sisterhood, her work would
have been even more difficult that 1t
was.
She learned that the child could
not stand routine; so sometimes she
came to Kingsway House, and some
times Patricia came to her.
She understood Marietta better now
too, since she had been living in the
house with her Marietta's most actual
romance was the Kingsway family. II
was her adventure book; her fairy
| tale.
Marietta, Patricia, Mrs. Kingsway

| for some weeks this was Helen'S world
1t was all the world she wanted kind
people, a child's love and place tc
hide.
For Patricia loved Helen, and-almost
trusted her. She did not quite trust
anybody; her father had evidently
poured his selfish cynicism into hel
clear, innocent child-mind; and part
Of her devotion to his memory seemed
to be the determination to keep his
viewpoint. Patricia looked up TO her
and loved her; Mrs. Kingsway's eyes
frightened when she came into the
room; even Ethan-though she thought
he still felt she was like all the other
girls of the day and didn't think much
of them-she knew was beginning To
be her friend now.
The more she saw of Ethan Kingsway
the more she respected him.
1t was strange to have become an
integral part of this household. Life
was like a kaleidoscope. The life with
Nina and Tommy. Behind that, the
long dimmed years back at home in
the shabby hand-to-mouth house in
Baltimore, that big rambling old house
with its makeshifts for necessities and
its pieces of unnecessary luxury; her
mother, so charmed by her fathers
not even scold when he let her GO
without needed dresses and came home
magnificently bestowing pieces OF
jewelry, or more often pieces OF furni-
ture, that she did not need.
For the first time since the breath
less, wearing, adoring life of Nina and
Tommy and Kingsway Village had gone
with turn of the kaleidoscope. Helen
felt entirely happy. How different
people were from your labels of them!
