Why should the old people be looked clear out for the city or some such place while the young man takes over the farm that the old people toiled to make a going concern? In many walks of life the youngsters are expected to get oiut and get on on the basis of their sheer manhood. Why should not young farmers do the same thing. “The old folks have had their day.

This is a snap shot of a large por- ton of the people of this continent. That is, the people of America will pay more for three minutes of the exploits of a piuigilist than they will pay for the lifetime work of the average clergyman, doc tor, or school teacher or farmer. Sme editors of great dailies are not remunerated at that rate. Judges of the Supreme Court are not paid in any such terms. The President of the United States re ceives no such wages.

A blacksmith was called up the' other morning to make a lange hayrack. "Make it good” was the phoned order. “It will cost .you at least such and such dollars” was the reply. “I’ve heard of yoiu” was the rejoinder. “Make that rack, I’ll do the paying.” Ten days later the blacksmith ’phoned as fol lows, “That rack is ready. Come and see it before the paint goes on.” “Put on the paint. I gave you the order because I knew I did not need to look at the work before the painting was done.” When the farmer sent his son for the rack he not only sent the price men tioned but a few dollars in addition to pay for any additional cost. We know of a satisfied customer and of a workman who is blessed with self respect. We know of an editor who is glad to re port incidents like just this. ******** THE DATE ABOUT UP Folk who have been amusing themselves by twisting the tail of the British lion by bombing her shipping and otherwise acting, disgracefully in their use of the seas, will do well to remember that the date is about up when Britain will be fully prepared to go be fore the world and fight for her rights. The present situation reminds us of an incident in the old_Na^ poleonid days when it was the custom in Paris to torment British officers to trial by duel. A fine Highlander was in a cafe quietly eating liis lunch. A Superficial creature, terrible in wax and gold braid, deliberately and ostentatiously insulted the 'Scotchman again and again. At last the iHighlanded rose from his table, seized the aggressive one by his beardl tore open his jaw and spat down the throat and by hair and whiskers threw the meddler through the window. We repeat this story to remind Britain’s enemies that the old lion sometimes indulges In long, long thoughts based on a good memory. THEY COULD DO IT We have watched with interest the well-meant efforts of the big wigs to get this 'Country out of its financial tangle. We have read and heard of the big dinners and big councils these much-be decked ones have sat in at and talked frothy nothings, while every minute, they dined and talked the public debt was rolling up at so many thousands per minute, Why not ask the costly and ineffective big wigs to take a holi day, meanwhile turning the matters of finance over to some preach ers’ wives we might ldention? These ladles have done financing that the big wigs never can do. and never Will do because driven by the sharp spur of necessity guided by saving common sense. “But” the big Wigs reply. “This Is different. “The ladies could not do the job.” All we have to say is that we do not see any medals about any public man’s neck for brilliant achievement tn finance of any sort, The ladles have won out In tlielr sphere whereas the big Wigs are conspicuous for their failure.
