PESSIMISTS are divided by nature

was once divided into three. They
are
Old.
Nothing can be done about that.
Age is condition Of the mind and not
Of the body. An 80-year-old man may
be cheerful and even gay. A 40-year-
old man may be as old as Methuselah.
Sick.
The container of a petrified liver is
not to be blamed If he looks on the
world in black despair.
Advertisers.
Some folks affect gloom. They
think it makes them interesting. Peo-
pie talk about them. They are deep"
Some bogs are bottomless.
Ill-informed.
How can a man who reads history
with understanding worry about the
way the world is going? A city's
streets are made the battle-ground for
criminal gangs. A groan goes up from
the world. All is lost. Civilization is
crumbling The waters are passing

times a frost comes along and ruins
the young shoots.
There are bugs and insects sticking
around to try the mettle of the farmer
There are weed foes to deal with, too
Besides, cultivation Of the young
plants must be done at the right stage
Of growth, and by one who knows how
deep to stir the soil All of this work
goes on with the hope of the right
amount of sun and rain It's gamble
and which one wins depends on your
ear of sweet corn-whether it is well
filled out, sweet and tender, and the
size of the ear not too large and not
too small.
For all this care, labor and financial
investment We pay something like Z
to 10 cents an ear for the larger ones
and 5 cents for the smaller ones. You
can see about how much profit there
is, after all the expenses of growing
and marketing are added up. So, per-
haps the European is right when he
says, The American has so much he
soon forgets to appreciate what II
costs to place commodities before him. II

own sweet corn and the bliss of pro-
ducing platter of the delectable
vegetable for your own table, don't

1t is said that the first sweet corn,
