The High Place of Friendship. we we think of friendship, we naturally re- ? vert to David and Jonathan and Damon and “Pythias for examples. If the telling is true, those ‘boys were the real article. The mere matter of extting off an arm or a leg if such a surgical “operation would benefit or advance the fortunes of the other was as a trifle. None of thesé he- -roes would give the incident a second thought. ‘The empty sleeve or the crutch would be a symbol “of devotion. A constant and delightful reminder tof the love and faithfulness felt in his heart for gthe. other. ~ These are the ideal and historical examples of “friendships. The patterns held up for emulation. “They are approached often times and equalled in ‘a less: number of times. in the world of today. That, however does not relieve any man or “woman of the duty to do his share in maintain- ding the fires upon the altar of friendship as he ‘Passes along the way through life. =, In the every-day world there comes to every ‘man a time when he looks for a friend. - He may do it when he is young, before he has gatarted out to make a career for himself, or he may do his seeking after this ephemeral ideal “Shen he has grown gray in the service, but -the time will come, come what may. This may be believed by many to be a,mere sentiment. It may he that, but there is some room for sentiment in eevery man’s life, and if he doesn’t run it to death “He is going to reap a great deal of benefit for giv- “tng it a place in his life. : We may think of a man in public office as hav ing every resource at his command. He may have fand usually he has plenty of places to look for iassistance, but when he gets an extra hard knock looks for a real friend. It heartens one a Igreat deal when some one comes to him, slaps him won the back in friendly fashion and tells him not %to mind an unkind thing that is said about him “or to buck up and go on with some plan that may have its difficulties, But it is not confined to public life. The same thing happens in private business experience, There are bound to be prob- Jems in every man’s experience. They may be sones that may be soived easily or they may be extra knotty. They will come nevertheless. Then it is t he will look for something more than mere . He will look for some comfort, Ber thet aay be gotten only from a real friend. £ Oe ere ee No Hope of Modification. HAVE HAD opinion in great volume, for and against both domestic and foreign, con: wwe We pure water flow where once flowed liquor. The opinion is from every conceivable standpoint and with every conceivable motive back of it. Honest, dishonest, selfish, financial, moral, immoral, lib- eral, narrow and so on down the line. With the object of: most of it, to-wit, restoration of light wine and beer, being crowded farther and far. ther into the vanishing background. Just as it occurred in the old days, the propo- nents of modification now are the ones who have made modification impossible. The liquor people Grove themselves out of business and brought on prohibition by their attitude toward the whole liquor business. They would not be reasonably decent about it. They shoved the evil and disgust- ing features of it under the very noses of those who abhorred it and would banish it from the warth. They flaunted It in the faces of pious church going people. They attempted to control litical and governmental action by its use and eir own activities. The day came when public ntiment rose up and smote the whole institution ip and thigh, and it was no more. It was clear- y outlaw. Came prohibition and another blunder was fFommitted. Right from the start. The cue was fo observe prohibition to the letter. It might have nm much more to “their afvantage now, if they ave hopes of modifying the prohibition’ enforce Zé per (Wyoming), Postoffice as second class} j;much garlic. cerning the great Amorican problem of making! went laws. The law is there, and os an amend. ment to the Constitution is going to be a mighty difficult matter to-change. ‘The enforcement is |the ‘thing to concentrate on, and that is what is ibeing tightened up instead of being relaxed by jviolations of the law. — | Violation of the prohibition law merely creates” a sentiment against any relaxation of its rigors. If the people had started “right in to observe the ;Prohibition Jaws to the letter, there might have been some chance by’ this time of getting light wine and beer. But with continual violation of the law, its enforcement is gaining strength rather than gaining ground for future modification. | Modification is a pretty difficult matter. If it were possible to secure a gigantic petition, circu. | lated from one end of the country to the other, with real sincere sentiment back of it, it might! have sufficient phic to secure modifications. But such a thing is Hopeless. It would be of no value without’ the greatest sincerity and freedom from ulterior motive. It Is Hopeless. for a moment, you believe that you can please everybody out of the same batch of sausage| you are the worst fooled person in the world. It is one of the things that cannot be done. The similo is homely, of course, but that does not detract from its virtue or its application. It is intended here to call attention to the useless- ness of attempting to satisfy everybody with ‘any | one thing you do or say, quite as useless as it would be for a doctor to. seek to cure all the ills of mankind by the employment of castor oil as a remedy. You may succeed in pleasing a considerable number of folks by the things you write or the things you say, if they be wise and true and well done, but there will be an active minority who} are not with you and will pick flaws in what) you have puned yourself was rather perfect work. Like it is with the sausage, which will contain too much salt, too much pepper, too much -fat, too much lean, too much beef, or too much mut., ton and too little pork; and horror of horrors, too} | So if your hopes are to please everybody by the things you do or say, or write, ot, perform or put over, don’t look for universal approval. It jis not in the bright lexicon of accomplishment. ' Soundness of Co-operation. (0-OPERATIVE MARKETING as ciple in agriculture and fruit raising is becom- ing more and more evident. The Success the prac- tice has obtained is without question. It brings the large and small producers tgether on the same! market level and-distributes the benefits to all alike. The economy that ‘the co-operation . estab- lishes means the producer's salvation in business and the security of his profits. The recent convention of farmers’ co-operative | associations at the national capital was not only! an impressive gathering but it was an eye opener to the American people and to the officials of the government who little know or appreciated the ef-! jtort of these earnest m their affairs on a business basis, | The council undoubtedly accomplished a at deat, pee se the co RDEEaESNS intket mmayacient} ant rom the standpomt of convincing’ official Washington of the entire sanity, ity Se ay fundamental nature of the movement. 4 It demonstrated the clarity of mind, the vision’ and the devotion of big men from every part of the country to the cause of co-operation, after having been conyinced by intelligent -and careful consid- eration that the farmer himself, under efficient leadership, can by co-operation solve most of his economic problenis. ‘ It showed the faith of these men in the funda- mental institutions of America and their intention to place the farmer; through’ proper co-operative organization, in position to. fit in with the és- tablished business groups and to co-operate with them as well as each other. It demonstrated that the businesslike farmers and their leaders arc not} asking subsidies and special favors but simply that agricultural producers as business men anu the business organizations of agricultural produc- ers be accorded the same basis of financing as other forms of business. And this basis is. turn: over. Having gone to Washington, and presented their case as business men with a business viewpoint of the agricultural problems, they -have gone back) home to attend to business as business men should. And for the sake of America, her agrioulture, her business life and everything else that is hers, it is to be hoped that their message will be remembered and acted upon to the exclusion ,of other legisla- tion that has less bearing upn the welfare and prosperity of the country than agriculture. Back to the Weed. a sound prin- ihe? WORLD has stood around on one foot pa- tiently chewing its apron string and biding the time when it should be announced from the capital of the republic that the Honorable Joseph Gurney Cannon was adhering staunchly to his pledge to abandon smoking, which undertaking he assumed January first of this year, and that in spite of predictions to the contrary by skeptics, the reform would prove a permanent one. No doubt the soul of the famous old consumer of long, black cigaes was sorely tried and that temptation beset him upon every hand,” out of levery vest pocket and in and about hotel lobbies jand tobacconists’ shops with which the town of Washington is infested. All went well, and the hero was passing through the peevish spell which marks the early stages of the quitter of long, bluck cigars, when an. admirer from Pittsburgh, who had just arrived in town and had not heard of the great reform, presented Uncle Joseph with a box of.Pittsburgh stogies. The present came when the distinguished quitter's resolution was sagging and his. will power was at its weakest point. With the stogies under his arm, he retreated to a cloak rom, and before those in and about tho house of representatives who had Uncle Joseph's welfare at heart, could interfere, there issued from that cloakroom a great cloud that resembled noth- ing so much as it resembled forking hay into a hay loft from the wagon below. ‘When caught red handed and charged with the} crime of treating his ‘solemn pledge as a scrap of paper, he attempted a weak alibi by asserting jthat Pittsburgh stogies are not long, black per- fectos; neither are they tobacco. Be that as it may. It was smoking that Uncle Jae promised the world he would quit and it makes no difference whether it was tobacco, al- falfa or okum, Uncle Joseph was caught smok-| ing. And he will have to come down from the pedestal where he does nog belong and always looked out of place. | However, he stuck firm and fast for two deys which is a fair average for New Year's reformers.

Have you ever thought of it? Inert and useless stone, blasted from che earth, guided through scores of intricate processes under the watchful care of chemist and engineer, converted into impalpable pow- der, shipped to every corner of the country and then, asif bymagic, transformed again to stone— to make sanitary and safe the isolated home of the farmer— to increase his yields and to house the product of his fields in silo and elevators— to bridge rivers— to revitalize town property by makin; ible the towering Gchitone of today— to build tunnels and subways to speed the city worker to his home— to make more beautiful and economical and enduring the cottage, the workshop and the mansion— to increase the comfort and economy of motor travel, by roads as even and hard as chis- eled stone— to make structures of every sort more secure against fire and the Tavages of wear and time. These are but a few of the uses of cement. They indicate what one industry can mean to a nation. But the industry's meaning to you indi- vidually must naturally depend on what you know of: it—on what you know of cement, the care taken in mak- ing it, the ease with which you can avail yourself of it.
