FAILURES NEED NOT APPLY.
If there were more land dealers
like the fellow who put out a
circular headed “Failures Need
Not Apply,” there would be less
dissatisfaction among the peo
ple who come West to begin the
farm life. Under the heading
ho continues, "Are you a real
farmer? Can you work an acre
for ail it is worth with your own
hand at the plow? Can you take
the weather as it comes? Can
you accept the advice of the suc
cessful and follow good examp
les If you cannot say yes in
your heart to all these questions,
then chuck this circular in the
waste basket.”
Successful farming is a hard
fight and a worker’s battle, and
if more people realized this there
would be less failures and con
sequently greater satisfaction
with farming. The people who
begin farming with the idea that
they have a gold mine that works
itself are almost sure to fail. It
has been the golden promises
that have made many people give
up a “living” East to reap an
unearned “harvest” West. Har
vests worthy of the name must
be earned.—Ex.
ELASTIC FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
After the tariff has had its
awing, the next question needing
careful attention is the currency.
iWtoat this country needs badly
is an elastic financial system for
business purposes that expands
when it is needed and contracts
when the need is over. This sort1
of system will invariably check
an incipient, panic, whatever its j
source may be. it seems to be
generally agreed I hat nur Amer
ican system fails at, the moment
of greatest need. When the coun
try is enjoying a period of great
prosperity such as we had under
the Taft administration, there is
little evidence of the need of a
different system, hut when ad
versity strikes business, the gov
ernment ought to he prepared to
relieve the situation with plenty
of money. Tin* inevitable Hood
ing of this country with foreign
made goods, following the reduc
tions in tariffs., will be I In1 cause
for a need such as will demand
the most llexihle financial sys
tem.
This is Your Town and it is What
You Make it.
What makes a town People
and business. You are one of
the pe'nple. Wliat you liu> helps
make the business. The inure
you buv the better the business;
the more business the better the
town.
You want the town to grow
and improve, don’t you? Then
you should help it to grow by
'increasing its business as much
as you can. Every time you send
elsewhere for (goods y;ou give
your town a blow. Enough of
these blows will ultimately kill
the town.
The mail order houses do no
thing for 'vour town except try
to kill it. Are you helping them?
You are if you send your money
to them for goods that, you could
buy at home. If you are more
interested in the growth of Chi
cago or New York than you are
in the prosperity of your own
town, your own neighbors, then
continue to send to mail order
houses for goods. Jf you want
your own town to thrive spend
your money where you make it.
