THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1920. Our country is very much like a public hotel—guests are welcome just as long as they pay their bills, behave themsleves and do not try to oust the management by force. If there are any guests amongst us who do not like our bill of fare or ser vice, let them seek another hotel, else they should be forcibly ejected if they try to start a “rough house.” Why Farmers Get Rich. The People has long advocated the policy of buying at home, living at home and boarding at the same place. We believe that the farmer who is worthy of the name should raise practically all that he requires in the way of food and feed stuffs on his own place. Therein lies the true road to prosperity. A {striking contrast to this condition is shown in the state ment of a New York man who re cently made a visit- to South Caro lina and wrote back to friends in thia State: “The Southern farmer gets up at the alarm of a Conneciticut clock, buttons his Chicago suspenders to Detroit overalls, washes his face with Cincinnati soap in a Pennsylvania pan. sits down to a Grand Rapids table, eats Chicage meat and Indiana hominy fried in Kansas lard on a St. Louis stove, puts s New York brtdlo on a Kentucky mule fed on Iowa corn.. mortgage; when bedtime comes he reads s chapter from a Bible printed in Boston and says a prayer written in Jerusalem, crawls under a blan ket made In New Jersey, to be kept awake by a South Carolina dog. the only home predart on the place Then he wonders wky he ran t make money la South Carolina.** TMR CTH XTRY PRINTK KM AND Kv KM K f»l MLIftMKM AND NIB Kl The rows try printer and publisher, I with few streptMes. has never en )ey«d the rossnsneralion deWMndrd by hie basher. grocer. dothiev. lumber daaier carpenter, bricklayer, plumb er, painter, and reprtsentatIves qf 1 various other mercantile lines and 1 trades It ma) have been hit own fault He may have been loo “fair**, wKh hie patrons and not fair enough with him self Be that as it ma), I within the last several months he has been given stem object lessons in * business economics, and as a class , hat become convinced that hr is en titled to s compensation for his capi tal employed, labor and mpnev ex pended and intelligence and ahilit) required on u par with nthor bu«ioe*» comparable to his.
