We spent a very pleasant eve
ming, recently, in Hardin. Feel
ing the need for human associa-
ton and mental relaxation we
sort of stumbled into a meeting
of the Commercial Club. After
getting the password from the
lady at the door we were
promptly not only entertained
but also fed-which is a pleas
ant prospect for even the most
hardened of souls, an we no
ticed quite a sprinkling of them
there. Being just a ~faltering
farmer, we were a little fearful
at first, but upon glancing
around, we discovered a couple
of farmers besides ourself, pres
ent an we felt a little better.
We listened to some talks made
by the brotherhood from some
of the neighboring towns. They
also elected a new board of di-
rectors from a list already pre-
pared-seventeen, we think
supposed to be fifteen, but
they had a couple of extras so
they put them on too-Which
makes it nice when they go to
collect their budget. The sur
priSing thing to us was the har-
mony of the thing. Everyone
was nice and polite and they
seemed to be of the same mind,
namely, "For the good of Har-
din"
Incidentally, we laid a new
idea at this meeting, an we
have hopes that it will hatch
some day. We have hopes of a
farmer Organization along the
same lines as the Commercial
Club, only we farmers can't call
it a Commercial Club - we'll
have to hunt up a different
name. Well let every farmer
member be a director, an we'll
invite Hardin to cooperate with
us, of course, an the object of
the organization will be Ito put
more money in the pockets of
the farmer" end quote. Of
course we haven't all the details
worked out yet, but we will have
a lot of committees workin' on
this and that. Well have a paid
secretary-if we can find one
who is willing to take that
chance-We'll have a new bust
ness committee" Why, my good
ness, here's Hardin with only a
coupla hardware stores an
only four, five lawyers an only
two banks an just a handful
of garages an film stations
and so on-why, it's ridiculous.
We should encourage the influx
Of a lot of new businesses. We
should have a slogan-sort Of
five-year plan - Hardin, fifty
thousand people in 1915" or
something like that. They could
work heets in the summer
time, and we farmers wouldn't
have to depend on transient la
bor-that way we'd keep the
money at home. We should
have a general store an a gar
age an a saloon on every cross
roads. The saloon licenses and
the fines from the DRINKS
we'd have our own police court
would pay our district school
taxes. Do you get the idea?
We'd also have a road COM

TONG ago, when as a young
woman 1 found life filed
- with heavy responsibilities
and burdens, worked out lit
tie scheme for myself. It has
worked for forty years now, and
believe it will always work, for
anybody at any age.
The scheme was simple. It
consisted merely in picking out
the worst of my troubles, look
ing it firmly, in the eye and de-
Gliding two things; first, whether
it was my fault, and second,
whether there was anything to
be done about it.
If it positively wasn't my
fault and there was nothing
more that I could do to cure it
than I had already done; then
I experienced a certain relief,
a certain peace Of mind from
the mere contemplation and
analysis. For example, if one
of the younger children was i'll,
and I inordinately worried, just
the thought that the doctor had
the case in charge, and that the
child was being carefully
watched, did something to reas-
sure me. Or suppose had to
deny one of the younger mem
bers Of the family the money
or the luxury or the advantage
that some other child had; to
remind myself that that advan-
tage, however large or small,
simply could not be afforded,

And so with older and more Sc

habit of facing them, analyzing
them, dismissing them, has proved
to be the successful way to escape
them. - u. ae
