, There lsu't auy occasion to mourn,
even If ono Is too young to tight. It In
hardly necessary to say again what
ha* been said so niHuy tltnos, that
there uro many ways to serve one's
country beelde carrying a gun, or help
ing to man a ship, or driving an am
bulance. The men who are doing all
these things must bo fed and so must
the families thoy leave at homo. Why
Isn't It a groat thing and a patriotic
one to raise corn, vegetables, pigs and
calves T ?
In Wisconsin there are 22,000 boys
and girls organized Into clubs ? corn
clubs, canning clubs, potato clubs, gar
den clubs ? because It Is easier to work
hard If ono learns .from ..watching
somebody else.
6he Wiscousin boy, Ilelron Block of
Rochester, has been working for four
years th secure tho best possifelo seed
com, and after he had raised 137 bush
els to tho acre In 11)13 he took churge
of all tho corn on his father's farm
and saved 18,000 ears of high-grade
corn for seed the following year. He
bus carried oft ever so many prizes,
but the best thing about his work is
that it helps along the cause of better
farming.
George Ferris of Littlo Suarolco,
Wis., did even better, for he raised 150
bushels to tho acre, and he also is
handling seed com for his father.
In the South there are two boys who
have held, not merely stato champion
ships, nor even a United States record,
but world championships. One of
them, a South Carolina boy, raised 228
bushels of com to tho acre and he
kept his honors for several years until
I an Alabama boy, who Is still holding
I the world championship In cora grow
ing, went past him with a record of
232 bushels. When one remembers
that corn is the most important single
crop we raise In the United States
and that 80 bushels to the acre was
considered a fair yield not many years
ago, one realizes what these lads have
done for tholr country. And they set
an example and provided seed so that
others might follow It before they were
sixteen yoars of age.
But here Is a sto*y even better than
the others, for we are more interested
In gardens right now than we are In
corn. It is about a southern boy gain
? "Billy" Mlnter of Austin, Tex. When
Billy was ten years old he won a
prize of $100 in gold In a vucant lot
contest In which 40,000 boys and girls
took part. He had a plot 10 by 20
feet, and on It he raised 578 pounds
of vegetables and made a profit of
$284*2. No wonder he won n prize.
Ten by twenty Isn't very much space
? Just the size of a small rdftm. If
"Billy" had succeeded proportionately
with an acre of ground his profits
would have been $6,148.-T-Exchange.
Big Business.
The children of the neighborhood
had started an amusement company,
which they planned to operate for com
mercial and recreation purposes with
the other children as the victims, or
rather, patrons. The company's prop
erty consisted, among other thing*, of
a new swing. Since business was rath
er aun the first afternoon the own
ers of the "park** were taking turns
enjoying the rides themselves. One
of the little girls evidently thought
that she had not received her share of
the fun.
. "George," she cried, "if you don't
let me swing now I'll go tell mamma I"
George was not abashed. "Aw, go
on 1" he remonstrated, "We're not run
nlng this company on the teil-mamma
plan." ? Indianapolis News.

Reports from various cities through
out the country prove that the cam
paign of food conservationists against
a full garbage pall Is meeting with
marked success. Shrinkage in that
form of household waste runs all the
way from 6 per cent in New York, in
one month, to 20 per cent and more in
other big cities. But the lowest per
centage of waste alone meant the sav
ing of 8,000 tons, of food products in
the metropolis, a figure of conserva
tion worth conjuring with in comput
ing a probable country-wide gain, and
surely enough to encourage all city
governments to labor toward a goal
that will help hold down the high cost
of living. ? Syracuse Journal.

"Funny thing happened in my town

"What was that?" asked the inter*

The cow sale came off on scheduled
time last Saturday and notwithstand
ing it commenced to snow soon after
the sales commenced, yet the bidding
was lively throughout, tlie average
price being $100 |>er head. This shows
that the farmers as well as other j>eo
ple realise that the first reason for
having good milk cows on the farm
comes from the fact that they provide
the cheapest, best and most wholesome
food for the family. Their value is
hard to estimate when we cotUnoer the
amount wived ou the bills. Their pro
iltft* Is tt superior substitute for many
food* uece?aarlly purchased at high
prices. In fact, there la no economic
way of doing without plenty of good

We Don't Have to
?? ?. yJ
Beg for Customers
:j '? v!
Some merchants are always pleading with the peo
ple to "give them a share of their patronage"..
We never beg. We don't have to beg.
The people know that we have the goods, and they
know that we make the right price on those goods, and
that is all they care a rap about.
They want goods, they want service, they, want the
right price, and they know that they get all of them
here. That's why they'keep on trading here year after
year. * ^ -y
That's the truth, and when the truth won't bear \
an inspection in an ad it is time to quit advertising.
The right goods, at the right price, will always sell
themselves. We have such goods.
