this diversity in the kinds of farming
that are carried on, and even more
because of individual differences in
experience, aptitude, ability, energy
and luck-it is difficult to make
any estimate of how much capital the
beginner should have.
At one extreme are the men with
substantial incomes from other
sources, who are able to indulge a
fondness for some rural hobby. For
! instance, they may like to raise pure
bred beef cattle of such excellence
that their beasts can compete for top
honors at the livestock shows. Few
farms of this sort pretend to be self
supporting. The proprietors are will
ing to pay fancy prices for breeding
stock, the employees get salaries that
to "dirt" farmer would seem luXuri-
Gus, and the farm buildings are show
places.
Only Hope And Energy
At the other extreme arc those who
have almost nothing except hope,
energy and willingness to work.
City people who start farming with
what should be ample assets are back
in town again after couple of years.
their money gone. They may try
dairying, and be unable to get along
on the small margin of profit, which
is all that milk producers can now eX-
pect They may try raising chickens,
or pigs, and have en- epidemic of dis
ease that wipes out their stock.
However, some of the most success
farmers were at one time city men,
so it scarcely seems sensible to say
that farmers are born, not made. 1t is
true, though, that certain similiari-
ties of type and temperament are dis
cernible in farmers who do we'll. For
farming not only demands hard
/ physical work. 1t also demands some
hardness of character, resolute self
reliance and tough persistence, COM
bined with an instinct for economy
and of effort.
Many Find It Worth While
Yet whatever the strain of his
labors and of his uncertainties, the
farmer in most parts of this land is
still free man, is master of his time
and directs his own toll. His days are
spent in spacious places, with nc
walls to blanket his eyes as he looks
across the wide countryside. Color
greets him in great masses, the blue
Of the vast sky, the brown of ploweC
fields, the varying greens of crops
and of woods. So, though the farmer
is often hit hard by bad weather
bugs, blight and the market, he has
his cOmpensations.
Farming, in short, is to be ap.
praised as a way of living, as we'll as
a way to make living. If you keer
on thinking that you would like farm.
ing, perhaps some day you'll go to the
country and try it. But don't ever &c
with the idea that the going will be
easy.

The Epistle and Gospel for next
Sunday should be read with great
care. They show that Jesus was not
fooled by the promises of worldly men
and women. Without confidence in
God and sincere convictions with re-
gard to truth and justice, there is no
such things as Christian courage.
Jesus knew that those who follow
their own ways and think only of
their own personal interests are
bound to be childish and cowardly,
and these worldly traits almost al
ways create cruel disposition to-
ward others who strive to be charit-
able and Christ-like. "What does the
world think of Christi"

Seditious Utterance

Three Dismissed
Free Speech os Such
Should Not Be Restricted,
BiddIe Declares
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Attorney General Biddle said yes
terday that free speech as such
ought not to be restricted" explain
ing that this was why the Justice
Department had dismissed COM
plants against three men for al
legged seditious utterances."
The complaints were filed against
Herman D. Kissenger in Kansas
City, Mo-, and Robert Noble and
Ellis o. Jones in Los Angeles. They
were based, the department said. on
a wartime statute providing penal
ties for whoever. when the United
States is at war, shall willfully make
or convey false reports or false
statements with intent to interfere
with the operation or success Of
the military or naval forces of the
United States or to promote the
success of its enemies
Last Tuesday Mr.. Biddle advised
all United States attorneys that no
arrests or prosecutions in cases in
volving only free speech should be
made without prior specific author
ization. He directed district attor-
neys to forward to him information
on which arrests already had been
made.
The department said that in dis
missing the Los Angeles and Kansas
City complaints, 1t took the view
that at this time every reasonable
attempt should be made to main
tain both free speech and public
safety and that freedom of speech
should be curtailed only when pub
lie safety is directly imperilled.'

Angeles and Kansas City cases were
