T hope, wisdom increases, this in- stinctive opposition has strengthened. | have reached that point, at last, where I completely ignore the ques- tion of profit and loss_in ‘eonnection with fair dealing. I don’t care wheth- er sharp practice is more profitable than square practice. I don’t care whether cheating pays dividends" or not. I don't care whether lying brings bigger bank account than truth-telling. ¥ In other words, I don't care a straw whether honesty is the best “policy” or not. - b a mere matter of tac- tics; of demeanor; of guise and dis- | guise. 1t is a thing for diplomatists| and. politicians and other unfortunates whose. trade i dissimulation to cloak themselves with. It has little to do with the foundations of life or with the framework of living. Those found- jatlons must be laid on something more solid and that framework built. of something more trustworthy.

Sometimes a dinner of herbs is a sweeter feast than a_stalled ox bar- Dbecued. It largely depends on how you_came by the provender. - We - farmers live so.generally by ourselves and with ourselves.that we ought to appreciate, even better than others, how much more important is self-respect honestly won, than pop- ular adulation obtained by . pretense. Similiarly, we ought to_appreciate, even more than others, how much nobler is honesty -for honesty’s. own sake, than a veneer of imitatfon hon- esty, stuck on in the hope of profit. THE FARMER.
