The Yossils are a nation-wide associatton of former amateur journalists and numbers in its ranks many men of distinction, I know one farmer who is.a careful man in all his management, and a pretty shrewd forecaster of the future. He has aiready been ull over his farm and made all his crop plans for the coming year. He has canvassed the prices he will have to pay for labor and for seeds and for fertilizers. He has made the best estimates his ex- perience and judgment permit as to production “and probable prices which he can obtain. He finds that if he raisgs enough to pay his help and his taxes, he will have to'play in better than the aver- age luck. But he has been an eco- nemical and a forehanded man in the past. . He has saved some little : is not because so- many more have been taken from the farms than fram other industries that I complain. That is doubtless because . therc are more of us who are fit to go. . Bwt 1 do complain agnlmt those who sneer at tha farmerg as if they Were not doing ‘thei full share.

"6 There are scores of men, usually rich or at least well-to-do, who are today serving the government at a nominal. salary of $1 a year. All honor to them. They deserve praise. Also, T notice ‘that most of them are getting it. The farmer, who is not often rich, and ‘who must usually get his dollar Off the farm before he can use it. is really and substantially up against the very same proposition. He has got to work for nothing, in many cases,—and then be blamed by thousands of grumpy consumers as the ultimate cause of their high cost of living! g !r-n finn, -1 suffered lormore .nyd- mervousness, and was so bad I eould not rest et night— would lie awake and get so mervous 1 would have to get up and walk around and in the mornms would be out.

Nor is it made one whit more cheerful ‘by those well-meaning. pro- fessional optimists who are trying to paint the situation with rose-color. ‘We shall be wiser to face the truth ag it is; to recognize the facts as they are;. to give over hopes of profit or even -adequate payment; and, as red- blooded Americans full to the brain with the 'spirit of 1776 and of 1861, _}prepare to do our work and stand our lossés ‘and make our sacrifices, just as eagerly’ and as zealously as if 'we really ‘enjoyed them. {The fact that there are, all over the country, greedy and ‘soiilless’ pro- fiteers, who are seizing the oppor- tunity to ‘coin wealth for themselves out of the necessities of others, is no excuse for our doing a smnln.r thing, even if we could. “Once. One ‘who was standing by saw rich men casting trteir gifts into ‘the treasury. And He also saw a poor widow drop- in two mites. And He said, “Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast ir more_ than they all: for all these did of their super- fluity cast in unto the gifts: but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.” mnenh.

Each child from 1.1-2 to.7 years should have one quart of milk a -day. A quart of milk at 15 cents-is a-cheap food.. A quart of milk will supply as much nourishment as 9 eggs or 3-4 pound of steak. One ean very easily estimate.the relative cost at the pres- ent price of both eggs and steak. . There ‘is no food. to use as-a milk substitute, so- if a- family is deprived of milk, it is deprived of the sub- stances which the milk contains. ‘We know well that some - women have ‘only a small amount of money to spend for food for their family. They can’t buy milk if they haven't the money, ‘but the children gspeciaily will “suffer from malnutrition and its attending ailments. On the other hand there ‘are y woman who could ‘pay 20 cents & quart for milk, if need be,’yet they are cutting down onthe milk. Such & woman, having several in the family, Tecently re- mark she was plarning ‘€0 that she needed to buy only 'a pit of milk a day. This is-not a fact to be proud of." Milk should, be the last thing to cut out of the dietary, instead of the first as it is in many households.
