The Farmer says, "Mary,
-where is that contraet I made

I placed it in one of these bureau drawers some six months

Soil, Tillers Must Gamble on Weather
and Speculate on Market Pi ices
Tear Alter Tear.
There is a bit of popular verse that
runs like this, "Pack all your troubles
in your old kit bag and smile, smile,
smile." "We think the editor of a certain farm paper must have been playing this on his phonogra.ph when he
was inspired to write an editorial exhorting his readers to 'keep smi.lng
no matter what happens."
"The man worth while is the man
who ean smile when everything gees
dead wrong," is the way the pcet
sings his praise of the sta" wait
hearted hero who weathers the storms
of adversity with a smiling countenance and an unshaken faith in that
old fatalism that "everything will
come out all right in the end."
The foregoing sort of philosophy is
all good, even though penned by those
who have never known the fear of
want, sickness, or death. To be able
to smile in the face of disaster is indeed a great virtue, but to be able to
act, gTim-visaged and sober-minded—
to avert disaster—is a greater and far
more practical virtue.
It is not often that "everything goes
dead wrong" with the man who forgets to smile long enough to lose himself in serious contemplation of the
problems with which he is confronted.
To smile much is often to think little.
"We know of no other class of people
who take their troubles so lightly as
the farmers, a statement, no doubt,
that •will amuse those who in their
ignorance have put the farmer down
as a chronic kicker. Millions of people live through a decade without
meeting the slightest discouragement.
They either have money safely Invested, which produces a fixed income, or else they are working upon
salaries which are paid them at stated intervals. In either case, they
have little if any financial worry. But
the same cannot be said of the farmer, who almost annually encounters
unexpected losses which in many
cases take away all the profits of the
year.
Considering the highly speculative
nature of his business—speculative
with respect to both the elements and
to marketing his produce—the hard
labor he must put in to produce his
crops, the difficulty often encountered
in financing his operations—considering all these things the farmer is the
lightest hearted individual on the face
of the earth. He is the past master of
smiles.
But who can smile when a blistering sun turns the green of the crops to
a sickly yellow and all one can do is
to stand with folded arms and watch
the leaves curl and the plants droop
to the parched earth? "Who but a
poetic philosopher can smile when
along about the middle of September
comes a frost that nips a golden harvest in the bud? And who but the
persistent farmer can mask his face
with a grin and buckle in again In
the spring of the year to retrieve the
losses of the previous year?
We'll say that it is hard for the
farmer to smile when adverse- weather strikes him, as it frequently does,
and that farming is one of the greatest gambles in the world—a constant
game of chance with the elements.—

YARNING TO HOLDERS OF "
REGISTERED TICTORY BONDS
The federal reserve bank o£ Chicago advises all holders of "registered"
. ictory notes to be sure that the first
'nterest coupon is attached, as it is
possible for unscrupulous persons to
'■emove the coupon before selling the
• ote. The loss would not be discovered until receipt of checks to cover
interest on other and later periods.
This applies only to registered bonds.

The flyingof the airplanes has cer-
ainly quickened interest and enthusiasm in the Sabbath school' and tided
over a period when people are too
prone to absent themselves- from
ihurch services.
We have been talking about a picnic, so long, that everyone will be
.dad to know that the time and place
bas been finally arranged. It will be
\ugust 27th on the Mead fiats, a place
edolent with happy memories and
joyous associations. In all vrobab"! ■
"fy this will be the last social event
'iefore school opens and the children
hould make the most of it.
Care has been taken in the appoint-
ng of committees and in the arrange^
ment of games and every effort is be^
ng made to give every oue the time
\f their lives.
On Monday of this week at the
borne of the groom's sister, Mrs,
Braesy, the pastor married Prank R.
Leonard and Miss Ada B. Parish.
These young people will make their
home in iMonroe.
In these days when people gcneral-
'y axe catching a world wide vision
and a spirit of internationalism is
moving among the nations, it seems
strange and unaccountable to find a
person harping upon the old son;*
bat they don't believe in foreign missions, that they can only interest
Hiemselves in, their own immediate
surroundings, that home misVons
takes all their attention. No one can
read the great commission Christ
gave his disciples without being im- t:
pressed with the fact, that in Christ's
*iwn mind, there was a clearly defined
world vision. Beginning in our own
home town we are to press this missionary enterprise until it reaches the
°nds of the earth. Christianity must -
precede all mere secular activities,
and if christians had been more re-
-pensive to this last call of" Christ,
•he affa'rs of tbe world would not be
!n such a chaotic state as they are
today.
Tractor Demonstration nt Waye.
An important tractor'demonstration
