THE COW, HO(; AND HEN PLAN

Our fa rmers should be interested in the following story about the fa rmers of the Northwest which we take f rom an adver-tisement of a banking corporation of Minne-sota:

"On fertile Northwest plain and valley, King Wheat has been slowly steadily, surely dethroned m the last ten years. The cow, the sow and the little red hen have zoomed into first place as largest income source fo r Northwest farmers .

"In 1921, 17,431,000 Northwest acres in the states of Minnesota, Montana and the Dakotas went to wheat ; 142 million wheat dollars went into Northwest pockets.

"This year, the same Northwest farmers , cow-sow-hen-wise, planted 1,829,000 less acres to wheat, went in for cow-sow-hen raising to such an extent that the little red hen alone will produce more than the total income of wheat.

"To one idea goes tlie credit fo r this amaz-ing volte face—the idea of the cow, the sow, and the little red hen / A decade now, un-ceasingly, through f a rm organizations, lec-tures, newspapers—Northwest f a rmers have been bombarded with this threefold produc-tion policy. In these concrete, farmer-un-derstood terms, the corporation creed of di-versification has been broadcast, with more emphasis on the finished products of agricul-ture (chickens, but ter) less on raw mater-ials (wheat, small grains.)

"Result: the Northwest f a r m e r now cashes an annual check of $150 million for dairy products, $67 million for poultry, $172 million for hogs, under $50 million for wheat ."

DEPENDS ON FARM

Business men who think they are not vit-ally concerned with the welfare of agricul-ture make a foolish mistake. Every line of industry falls back when the financial in-come of the fa rmer is reduced so that there is no margin for buying.

The automobile industry knows this. Ac-cording lo census figures there were in April, 1930, 4,134,675 automobiles on a lesser num-ber of f a rms and 920,395 tractors. These figures show the dependence of the automo-bile industry upon the fa rmer for patronage.

The same situation is true in regard to other manufactured products as well. The first step to bringing prosperity back to America generally is solving the problems of agriculture so that the fa rmer can make a fair return upon his capital and labor. If a f a rmer cannot buy the manufac turer and merchant cannot sell. Our big business men and political leaders might as well recognize that fact.

Local business men should realize that the same truth works in their local markets. Merchants and commercial organizations can do more fo r the prosperity of their towns by improving the prosperity of f a rm-ers in their community than by any other action. Only short-sighted merchants fail to realize this, but many who do are not ac-tive in effort to solve the marketing and producing problems of their local farmers .

VIEWS AND REVIEWS "What They Say Whether Right or Wrong"

Melvin A. Taylor, Chicago banker: "The degree of intelligence exercised by

all of us certainly doesn't seem to entitle us to much credit as wide-awake men.

The Prince of Wales, in a speech in England: "Early lo bed and early to rise, but you'll

soon bust if you don't advertise."

Wm. G. McAdoo, f o rmer Secretary of the Treasury: "The pr imary cause of all wars in modern

times is economic strain and that in turn is the result of intense financial and commer-cial competition."

Nicholas Murray Butler, President Colum-bia University: "The war ended in 1918 on the field of

battle, but in the field of ideas we have not outgrown the conditions which brought that war about ."

Charles F. Collisson: "Business holds u p well in those regions

where cow paths are numerous."

"HELLO NEIGHOR

You never realize how much that simple, staunch greeting you hear so often means unless you go away and hear it not at all "Hello Neighbor" you hear it on your way to work. It starts the day off right, gives you confidence, sends you forth with added zest, with fresh courage and a determination to remain worthy.

"Hello, Neighbor"—you hear it when you go lo lunch. Somehow it makes the food taste better, makes you forget your worries, makes you spend with a glow of inward sat-

isfaction. "Hello. Neighbor" you're greeted as you

journey homeward. And all the rancor leaves you, you catch

that sense of well-being, your troubles and perplexities leave you, life seems truly sweet.

It is strange how these two simple words can mean so much. However, they do. They contain the very essence of friendship, itself. When they are spoken to you they really come f rom the bottom of someone's heart. They are more than a greeting, they say: " W e hope you an ' well and that everything is going along swimmingly and that its a fine world if you just understand and make the most of it." The pleasure of hearing these two words expressed gives ev-erything a brighter hue and the somber thought which tenaciously abide with us are evaporated in the greeting, "Hello, Neigh-bor."—Hurt County Herald, Tekamah, Ne-braska.

NO SMOKERS WANTED!

Want ads for f a r n j workers are frequent-ly worded like Ihis: "Wanted—Man for general f a rm work. Smokers need ro t ap-ply."

The reason for this, of course, is the f re-quency of fa rm fires and the fact that once started, they are usually more destructive than fires in urban areas where buildings are of safer construction and where fire fighting facilities are more highly developed and are nearer at hand.

The various hazards on the fa rm are manifold. Spontaneous ignition of hay and grain; storing autos and tractors in barns where hay is kept; burning stubble fields and burning rubbish in the open; storage of gasoline in unsafe containers; heating and lighting with inflammable liquids; defective electric wiring; carelessness with matches and smoking; lightning—each of these has been responsible fo r the destruction of mil-lions of dollars wor th of f a rm property and thousands of lives.

It is apparent that a little care and expense will go a long way toward reducing such hazards to a minimum. In cases where the fa rmer himself is uncertain what course lo take, he may easily obtain information f rom near-by fire departments or f rom the var-ious organizations which are working to eliminate fin-. It is all very well lo seek workers who do not smoke—but nothing save unceasing vigilance and a knowledge of fire hazards and how to conquer them, can achieve a real and permanent reduction in farm fire losses.

THE TOBACCO TAX

Very few people who smoke tobacco real-ize the indirect tax which they pay.

In 1931 the tobacco crop was worth $156,-097,000 to the fa rmers who raised the crop.

During the fiscal year 1931 the Federal Government collected f r o m tobacco manu-facturers a total tax of $444,276,502, or near-ly three times the value of the crop then be-ing produced.

The figures of the Federal tax do not in-clude the amount of any slale taxes which may be added to the sale of tobacco, which in some state amounts to one-half as much as the Federal tax.

Tobacco smokers pay a considerable tax for the privilege of engaging in the habit.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Here's to the poor fish who will keep on writing it "1931."

• • •

An unusual worker is one who does more than the boss expects.

• • •

No American should forget the value of our public schools. They are really import-ant.

• • *

Bargain sak's attract people when they know about them; advertising is the way to spread the news.

• • •

From the trouble the victorious nations are having with Germany it begins to ap-pear that it is a doubtful t r iumph to win one of these modem struggles.

• • •

Well, farmers , here's to your relief, but the main idea is lo gel busy and do all that you can fo r yourself. If you wait on the government, you may wait a long time.

• • •

Education is not a matter of intelligence only, but, when complete, includes a physi-cal and spiritual training, as well.

• • •

No man knows what he nill find at the end of the road until he gets there.

• • •

People ere being killed in, and by automo-biles ever}* day, and still nobody seems to mind.

• • •

Every worker should have time to play. It's good policy to relax f rom business worry once in a while.

« • •

Some citizens are wondering what has be-come of winter. They will learn.

« • •

It is a backward looking lass who waits fo r a leap year to come around nowadays.i

A Philadelphia girl offern to mar ry any man for $10,000, and poses for he r pic ture in a bath-ing suit. Well, thank Goodness, there a re a few old-fashioned men who wouldn ' t take her with $10,000 th rown in—"Not on her tin type!"

• • •

Four Detroit boys from 11 to 14 years old under arrest for gangster murder . We start 'em young in Michigan with moon-shine and no speed limit—"each one for himself and the devil take the h indmost !"

• • •

The World War cost $27,000,-000 a day ; and still some people ask "What Makes hard l imes?"

• • •

A Detroit judge has asked that 10-per cent of h is salary be re-tained and applied on his court 's deficit. There 's a man with a heart and a conscience. Detroit should make him Exhibit No. 1 in her cur io shop.

• • •

Presumable that Rev. Merrill would classify this f rom The Pathfinder as interest ing but not impor tan t :

Whatever troubles Adam had, And he had plenty, pards.

He never had to help Mrs. A. Address the Chris tmas cards!

• • •

A good safety deposit box : A woman inmate of an Idaho hos-pital fo r years, was found at her death to have had a wooden Icp containing $2,500. Wasn't that cute?

• • •

Said that Henry Ford raised 100,000 bushels of carrots last year. Humph! Betcher if he had been on a carrot diet for a few years "he'd a raise hades" in-stead.

Six Cylinder Sentences O

• r DR. JOHN W. HOLLAND

No man can keep his best pace without God's grace.

It Is an evil day for a hen when she stops scratch tng.

Adopt Ideals as you buy tires, "look ahead" for ten thousand miles.

Advertise your goods and you sell them, advertise your goodness and you lose tL

The most unfortunate person In the world Is he who cannot bear misfortune.

Men are .like plr^; They both need good heads to keep them from getting In bad.

The Giant of Virginia / " \ N E day in June, 1765, a

strange ship dropped anchor near City Point in Virginia. From It a boat waa lowered to the water and Idlers on the wharf saw a small child being handed ova- the side to the sailors who manned the oars. When the boat reached the dock the child was placed ashore, then the boat turned and swifUy made its way back to the ship which im-mediately weighed its anchor and sailed away. Thus did Peter Fran-cisco arrive on the shores of the land where he was to win fame.

For a few days the little boy slept in the warehouse by the wharves, depending on kind-hearted strangers to supply him with food. Then Judjre Anthony Winston of Buckingham came to City Point, heard of the orphan, and took him home with him. There he was liv-ing when the Revolution broke ouL

Francisco served valiantly at the battle of Germantown and when Mad Anthony Wayne stormed Stony Point he was Uie second man to scale the wall, lly this time Fran-cisco was famous through the Con-tinental army for his feats of great strength and his utter fear-lessness in battle. They called him "the Giant of Virginia." and he car-ried a hURe broadsword, five feet long, which had been made for him by the order of Washington. Dur-ing the southern campaign Francis-co was surprised at a tavern one day by a party of cavalrymen from the command of Col. Canastre Tarle-ton. After surrendering. Peter be-came so angry at his captors when they tried to remove his shoe buckles, which he specially prized, that he laid about him with mighty strokes, and dashed from the tav-ern. Nearby some 400 of Tarleton troopers were stationed, but when they started to capture the fugitive he put up a most daring bluff, shuat-ed to a regiment of Continental sol-diers which did not exist, except in his imaginaUon, to come to his as-sistance and caused the British to flee.

But it was at the Battle of Gull-ford Court House that he won his greatest fame and visiters there to-day can see the monument which marks the place where "Peter Fran-dsco, a giant of Incredible strength, killed 11 British soldiers with his own broadsword, and slthough bad-ly wounded by a bayonet, made his escape."

Notice its even text-ure, its l ightness and freshness. Tha t ' s because it 's made of the finest of ingredients in the finest of bakeries. And t h e crust is, of course, unbeatable—crisp, b rowned to a t u r n , and firm. Bread like this spread wi th but ter makes a del ic-ious meal all by itself.

Municipal Independence

STARTS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL - WITH YOU

CHAIN is no stronger than its weakest link.

Neighborliness, thrift, pride in our homes, our businesses, our public improvements and our-

selves, the will to progress and prosper—these are

all links in the chain of Municipal Independence.

How strongly we forge these links depends up-on the individual; upon you and me and our neigh-

bor across the way. We hold the fate of our vil-lage in our own hands. Whether it is a good place

to live in and will keep getting better is solely up to us.

See how all these links lead up to one point:--

Neighborliness tells us to deal with our friends whose interest are our common interests. And it

tells our neighbors to act in like fashion toward us.

Thrift tells us that our neighbors are interested in holding our patronage and that the best values are right here at home.

Pride in our homes, our business, our public im-provements and ourselves and the will to prosper

and progress become reality if we enrichen our-

selves and the community by spending the money we make in our own city.

Let's not be a "feeder town" fattening some

one else, ten, one hundred or one thousand miles away.

Spend your money where it brings you an hon-

est dollar's value received and returns to work for

your individual and our municipal independence —at home!

sentence: tfurc tlurlny prosperity to as lo be able lo spend during de-pression; than In a whole library full of charts and tables and books on political economy.

1 do not believe It is au imprac licable dream to bring about un era of more IntelllKent saviiiK aud •pendiiiK on the part of m r people. It is not Impossible to chanKe the habits of the populailon. U has been done in many lines. The habits ot our people have beeu Improved and the health of the uatiou promoted In many ways by consistent pro-grams ot advertisin, and education that have brought about better hy glenic understanding and practices.

The medical protesslon has vir tually banished the Bcourge of some diseases by persistent. Intelllgem campaigns of preventive sanitary measures and Inoculations, requir Ing new understandings, new habiu among many millions of our people Also a large part of this evolution of public health Improvement hab naturally developed through the In teliigent advertising of many prod nets that have to do with bodlly care. 1 refer to the manufacturers 1 and distributers of such things a;-more healthful shoes, more effectlTe toothbrushes, food products with; more wholesome values of nutrition and countless other practical Ideas that have become commonplaccs ol our dally business life,—and that have become a part, loo. of the very texture of the personal habits and health of great masses of-our people

If It has been good advertising and good business for so many o our national producers to spend mil Hons of dollars thus to inculcate new habits of personal hygiene and per •onal care. Is It not good business and good advertisinp for our bank Ing Interests to lay similar stress during the next period of prosperity

Wake Up Your Liver Bile -Without Calomel

And Youll Jump Out cf Bed in the Morning Rarin' to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.

For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere move-ment doesn't get a t the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling ia your liver. I t should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels dailv.

II this bile is not flowing Iredy, your food

doesn't di£«U I t just docsyi in the bowda.

Gas bloutrt up yuur ntomsch. You bsve •

T h e $360,000 Neck lace

F V D Mario Antoinette, queen of France, cajole Cardinal de

Hohan to such an extent that she was able to rob him of the famous diamond necklace which formed one of the causes leading up to the French revolution? If not, who was responsible for the scandal which broke with terrific violence over the French court and, finally, what be-came of the money received for the necklace Itself?

These aro qupstlnns which have excited the curiosity and specula-tion of hundreds of historians anil novelists bnt which, despite the most rigid Investigations, remain still unaniwered, Ineztrtad))y an* twined with the sordid but spectac-ular story of Louis XV, Madame Du Barry, Do Rohan, Madame I-a-motte, and Mario Antoinette her-self.

In 1774 Louis XV was Infatuated with Madame Du Barry and, as an evidence of his affection, commis-sioned the court Jewelers to collect tho finest dlamomls they could lay their hands on and fashion a neck-lace that would be absolutely unique. The Jewelers exercised so much care In the selection of these stones that, before the necklace was completed, the king died. The work was so far advanced, how-over. that the gorgoflus piece was finished at a cost of some $.'MW,000 —equivalent at the present time to practically J1,000,000—In tho hope that It could be sold to Louis XVI for bis queen.

Then suddenly Jeanne de Valolse (Madame Lamotte) came upon the scene and hoodwinked Cardinal de Rohan—arch-enemy to the queen— Into believing that she was Marie Antoinette's most Intimate friend. Lamotte even signed spurious notes with tho queen s name and worked upon the ambition of the cardinal until Do Rohan believed that she had succeeded In overcoming Marie Antoinette's hostility toward him.

Finally Lamotte risked a note to the cardinal —a communication which was supposed to have come directly from the queen of France —commissioning him to borrow 60.000 francs for a certain chari-table purpose, the money to be transmitted to the queen through Madame Lamotte. The cardinal borrowed the money and turned It over to the Intermediary. A second loan of an equal amount was also obtained and with the money the Lamottes furnished one of the most magnificent houses In Ihe capital and financed themselves for a round of ceaseless gaieties.

The success which had attended this pcbeme evidently led Jeanne Lamotte to believe that she could put through one of the most dar-ing frauds In history—the theft of the almost priceless diamond neck-lace which had become a white ele-phant on the hands of the court Jewelers. Jeanne therefore Insinu-ated to Cardinal de Bohan that Marie Antoinette wished to pur-chase the necklace for her own use. but that she particularly desired that the king know nothing of the transaction, adding that If the car-dinal would attend to the details of the transaction It would entlreJy reinstate him In royal favor. De Kohan hastened to fulfill the mis-sion and, on February 1. 1785. the necklace passed Into his hands and his note was accepted by the Jew-elers for the entire purchase price —It being understood (thanks to Lamotto's Intrigues) that the trans-fer was being made with the full approval of the queen.

The necklace was to be delivered to Marie Antoinette by tho cardi-nal on the eve of a grand fete at which the queen was expected to wear It, and the casket containing the Jewels was taken to the home of the Lamottes. by whom It was to he handed to the queen's messen-ger. Still further lo dupe the car-dinal. Jeanne Lamotte employed an actress to Impersonate Marie An-toinette and. because of the heavy veil which the substitute wore. De Rohan believed that he had actual-ly had an Interview with the queen herself.

Lamotte then dispatched her hus-band to London with the necklace, where It was broken up and the stones sold separately. Unfortu-nately for the plans of tho adven-turess, however, the trick was dis-covered when the Jewelers wrote to the queen, thanking her for pur-chasing the diamonds. Marie An-toinette at once demanded an ex-planation of their statement and then asked for the original copy of the agreement De Rohan was Im-mediately arrested and sent to the Bastile, to be followed shortly aft-erward by Madame Lamotte and a number of her accomplices. But this by no means ended the case, because the actions of Marie An-toinette were so strange and her explanations so strained that many historians have expressed the be-lief that she herself was more or less Interested In the matter and that she had profited directly by the sale of the stones. Regard-less of this phase of the matter, however, the affair ot the queen's necklace remains one of the most absorbing Intrigues as well as one of the most mysterious romances of a court noted for Us plots and counterplots.

Short Story Faithful Canine

Revealed Hermit By CLARISSA MACKIE

l l t p ANCY I" exclaimed young " Mrs. Peterby to her husband,

" l .have heard the strangest thing. Dick—but perhaps you'd rather not hear It."

"Guess 1 can stand It." and Mr. Peterby smiled at their guest, an old college friend of Millie Pe t e r by's, Grace Chame. "Can't scare us, eh. Miss Chame?"

"Well, you know that old camp up on the side of the mountain?" began Mrs. Peterby. "Well, a man Is llvhiR there—and people say that he Is a hermlL but Mrs. Well-minder told me yesterday. In con-fidence, that lie Is not a hermit— nnd nc,t onl) that, but that he Is a well known author who Is llvlmt there, writing a book, lie lives that way so as to bo by himself.

"1 met him yesterday." Mrs. Peterby continued, "and although he did not see me—1 am sure that ho did not—1 recognlied him at once as some one I used to know In Kerryvllle."

"Thai's a very pretty story, my dear, but don't dare try to got ac-quainted with this beautiful youth."

"Want to go nutting today. Grace?" asked Mrs. Peterby.

"Yes—It will be heaps of fun— I haven't been for years."

"We will have to climb tho hill first-It Is on the land of tho old Porter estate—rather wild up there."

-We might take Don along—ho Is a big dog and such a protec-tion."

It was after eleven o'clock when tho two girls started oul with tho big dog. They had had an early lunch and were carefree. Mrs. Peterhy's little car carried them part way up the side of the moun-tain, and they left It at a small cottage.

Tho two girls kept on tho up-ward Inclining road for another mile, and they stopped breathless-ly and sat down to rest outside tho gate of the old Porter residence. Don ran hither and thither, stir-ring up a rabbit or frightening the birds, but af ter awhile he disap-peared.

They wandered along the moun-tain road, picking up nuts from under the brond chestnut trees, and from under a black walnut tree that grew near the Porter place. In the distance they heard Don's glad bark.

"Is he calling for us to come along?" asked ('.race Chame.

"I am not sure,'' admitted Mrs. Peterby, "that sounds Just like his family bark, doesn't It? He Is your dog. Grace, you ought to know his speech!"

Grace listened Intently. "Why." she spoke In surprise, "It sounds Just as though he had met some one that he knew."

"Perhaps bo Is acquainted with the hermit," said Mrs. Peterby carelessly.

"What Is his name?" asked Grace.

Mrs. Peterby was silent, then she admitted with a foolish smile. "To tell the truth, I haven't the least Idea I"

They could not hear Don bark-ing now, and In the mountain still-ness. there was only the music of the wind In the trees, and the song of a belated bird. Their baskets were filled with nuts, so they re-solved to follow the dog. and learn his whereabouts.

They had not gone very far when Miss Chame spoke rapidly. "Walt here. Motile, behind these bushes—look straight ahead-Isn ' t that darling!"

They could see a spreading knoll where there were scattered birches and oaks—there was a flame of color from every tree—but It was not tho scenery that mattered much, excepting that huge log on which lay Don. tho great dog. his happy eyes lifted toward the artist who painted him.

"Good dog!" said the big man behind the easel. "Just five min-utes longer. Don. old man. and then you may lead me to the love-liest lady In the whole world."

Don barked ecstatically. "An artist?" whispered Mrs.

Peterby to Grace Chame. " W h y -why—he might be the young man w"hom you quarreled with. Grace 1"

"It Is!" exclaimed Grace. "Are you no longer In love with

him?" Grace was so silent that her hos-

tess guessed tho answer. Just at that moment the painter spoke to Don.

"Now Don. we will go and find our sweetheart!" and Just then Mrs. Peterby stepped forward and Grace Chame slowly followed.

"Ah. Donl" called Mrs. Peterby, as the deg came bounding. She nodded at the handsome young man who hurried forward to ex-plain. "Just tell Miss Chame all about It—Don nnd I must hurry on ahead!" and so she fled with happy Don to lead the way.

Grace Chame's eyes glowed with a soft flre as the artist stopped be-side her. "I did not know you were here until Don came bound-ing upon me." he explained. "I have been making a good sketch of him. This is a wonderful coun-try."

"I am spending a month with my old classmate." murmured Grace blushing beneath his ardent eyes. "Mrs. Dick Peterby. Do you know them?"

"Yes, Indeed—It was through Dick that I heard about this moun-tain. I hope you will let me come and see you—sometimes. Grace."

What Orao? told him made him the happiest man In tho world at that particular moment, and all reports say that he Is the happiest man In the world now, long after they are married.

CONSIDER T H E COW

If your ad was in this space as many peo-

ple would read it as are reading this. But

your ad isn't here and people don't know or

care a rap whether you are selling: groceries,

gasoline, peanuts or popcorn.

Did you ever sit in the pasture with a milk

pail between your knees and wait for a cow

to back up and be milked?

Of course not, you have better sense.

Well, business is kinder like a cow. You've

got to go out af ter it and round it up. The

fellow with the milk pail betwixt his knees

MAY get some milk, but the odds are all in

favor of the fellow who drives up the cow

and feeds her.

A merchant may make a living by cus-

sin' the guvverment" and waiting fo r some-

thing to happen, but the merchant who

makes MONEY is the fellow who goes af ter

business in the right way—he stocks his

shelves with seasonable merchandise and

then he lets his customers know about it—he

ADVERTISES.

There are many forms of advertising, but

the one "time tr ied" safe, sure and economi-

cal way is th rough the columns of your local

newspaper. People are drawn into your

store by the quality, price and service you

offer—If you don't tell them about it how in

heck do you ever expect to see any new faces

on the other side of the counter?
