Children .dry W* FLETCHER'S ASri'OII f.A FARMING MIGHT BE WORSE There are three things that amen needs in his journey through this world. There are about a million things that he wants, but that is another story. . The three necessi- ties are; food for his stomach, clothes for his back and contentment for his mind. On the first score we farmers haven't very much to kick about, as a rule. There are some women who feed their families on pork, potatoes and bread day, in and day out, the year round, we'll have to admit. But on the whole the man on the farm gets quality, quantity and variety. In the second ,place, he is usually as well dressed as he wants to be. The latest cut in coat or style in hat doesn't cut much of a figure in the cow -stable. And when he goes to town he generally wears a suit that makes him compare not too badly with any of the business men that he may meet there. 1 know that there arc still some old fellows that visit the city looking more or less like Santa Claus, with barley chaff in their whiskers and souvenirs of the barn- yard sticking t,, their boots-, but these specilmensof the profession are not as ciliation as they used to be and will, 11'1 doubt, gradually disappear. The farmer of to -day 1s, on the whole, a pretty respectable chap. On the third count there is more room for argument. Are farmers. as a body. pretty well contented with their lot in the world? According to same things we have heard and a little we have seen they're not exact- ly what you would call a very happy I:atured bunch. Two or three weeks of dry weather has, very often, it bad effect on the farmer's spirits, and when more rain comes than he actual- ly needs he is apt to have an attack of the blues that is quite as serious as the former (Inc. Then the great question of prices for what he has to sell seems to cause the farmer more anxiety and discontentment than everything else put together. And the high prices of the past fey years haven't helped to make him much Holder than he vas before he ever li n'11est of 3u cent cheese aid 70 cent butter. \V4'•a 1 was a y.ntmastcr going to „ 14 .,1, in what now seems like sante f,.•u,'r ,•xis'enre, one of the lessons the 'Third Reader had to do with ..1,1 fartner-:'hih,.'pher by the r' one of J '1314 '1'o:mpki!a. As near as I can remember hr vias dist•ribed (11•:hing like this: ••t>:, hone.” John Tompkins, a hed- ger and ditcher, AI't-••ugh h(• teas (,nor didn't want to he richer, .1.l the worst of misfortune he o.'3stantic said: "If I cannot get !neat 1 can surely get bread.'. ,s the sort of spirit that seems to tae :1 :ere bit 141^11001' among us raters, especially In this spring- th.Ie •''' the year 1921. And about tl., only way we can cultivate the "John Tompkins" attitude of mind is L' argue the matter out with our- selves and get 133 realizing how lucky 1'.o really are, c,•n1p:ired with what. we alight be, with 'shat some others ie the world are and with what we ae:ually were up against say twenty- five years ago, of course. But every- 1,,dv w.rrried through it, some way ac ,.'!her, just :is they always will. We'd get a lot nia,re fun out of this little t:'ip of ours through the world if we'd quit Il:thering about 'the things that earl': be helped or ehang- 1 d, taking what we can get and be- ing thankful it's as much as it is. Some people are like that. The rest .,f us c',,uld be. We've all been hit, leers orlcss, by the slump in the pile( of farm produce this spring. And a Int of what we think we have to buy, as well as the cost of hired help, is as high as ever. But if we think a minute we'll remember that farmer's stuff was the first to jump in price when the war hit the world, and that the wages of hired help, school -teachers and ministers sala- ries, and the city workman's pay, canis up a good deal more slowly. So lvhat can we expect but that these tilings will all return to normal in the same order. But there's no better way of mak- ing ourselves satisfied with what Fate 's handing nut to us at present than to compare that which has been with that that is. The prices our fathets hod to take. with what we are get- ting now: Take cheese, for instance. There was a time 111 thc.early history rf the business when cheese sold for five cents. a pound. In one case at lc est, rata I know of, the manufae- Inr(•r wits paid three cents for mak- ing. This left two cents for the farmer : who supplied the milk. After several years of this, matters improv- e l :little. When the (:rice I d.1imb- ed to twelve cents I remember a man in torn taking me to task for ac- cepting so much money. "It isn't right," he said, "to take a price like that for a pound of cheese. It's robbing the poor working -man." When it went to thirteen I can recall n friend of mine lamenting the fact that he had sold his farm the year before. "Gosh, but I was a fool," he said. When the price reached four- teen cents a gond many patrons of cheese -factories started -'buying or 'g'r'inding grain for their cattle to force them along while cheese sold for such a fancy price. I think we came near- er to being satisfied about that time than we have ever been since. Butter was more of a heart -break though, in the old days, even than cheese. There war no separators and ! the cream had to be raised in shal- low tin pans and then churned in the backyard (lash churn that not many ; of us have forgotten., Then when it I was made into rolls or small prints ,Ser packed into tubs, we sold it for 15 ; cents a • pound—and sometimes leas, There were no Dairy Association in • those daps, warning the public ageing buying 40 cents oleomargarine. Those' .were the days -when cows, of very respectable appearance and ancestry, c'hariged hands at auction • sales from a consideration of from eight to ten dollars apiece, I can retnelnber one cow -who was no doubt a grandmobher,' 'selling for exactly four drillers.

And 18 carts a bushel was what they had to take for them, I know some farmers who, last fall, reused $28 it ton for their hay. They wanted $30 but, at present, would be' willing to take akout $15. And, comparing $1$ with what has been, it looks pretty good. I can renlentlber when pressed hay sold for $3.50 a ton. .And if you happened to need a load of straw and were on good terms with your neighbor he'd be quite likely to let you have it for nothing: Which reminds me of the load of potatoes I tool( to town once. I couldn't sell them so I offered them to the storekeeper for nothing. There was 5111,3hl•r 111111 in the store at the time and 1 told him that if he would come out to the farm with his team I would give him a load on the same terms. "look • here", he said "that's not a square deal. You're offering this man a load delivered at his stare, while you ask me W go out after them If I'mgoing to take a present of a Toni of potatoes from you , you'll hey,. to put them in mycellar." It won't d1 to overlook the price of eggs in the "gond old days" when you could get a pair of Sunday boots for only 24 dozen of them. Eight cents was• what they sold at, part of the time'. Net eight cents apiece, as as they were tr',inlr at last winter for a while. Btu right rents for twelve, and they had tii 1„' good and fresh at that.

We used to let live here L:1, at 'S3 11 hundred- weight, 'and little pigs, a month or six weeks old. we would sell for a dollar, or twitf 0' one -fifty. - T.

Yen_ eau go eitathiglht a- head.", As he leaned hack, puf8rig away at the arm , he of his a ih � rn a leg . over greater com- fort, and it really struck his valet that 'he had never seen a gentleman more at his ease, even one who was one. His casual candidness produced such a relief froin'the sense of strain and uncertainty that Pearson felt the color retut'hing to his face. An open- ing had been given him, and it was 'possible for him le do his duty. "If , you wish, sir, I will make a• list," be ventured further, "and the proper firms will send persons to bring things down from London on appro." "What's 'appro" the English for?" "Approval, sir." "Good business! Good old Pear- son!" "Thank you, sir. Shall I attend to it to -night, to be ready for the morn- ing post?" "In five minutes you shall. But you threw ale off the track a bit. The thing I was really going to say was more important than the clothes business." There was something else, then, thought Pearson, some other unex- pected point of view. "What have you to do for me; any- how?" "Valet you, sir." 'That's English for washing my face and combing my hair and put- ting my socks' on, ain't it?" "Well, sir, it means doing all you require, and being always in attend- ance when you change." "How much do you get for it?" "Thirty shillings a week, sir." "Say, Pearson," said Tembarom, with honest feeling, "I'll give you sixty shillings tt week not to do it." Calmed though as he had felt a few moments ago, it cannot be denied that Pearson was aghast, How could one be prepared for develop- ments of such an order? • "Not to do it, sir!" he faltered. "But what would the servants think if you had no one to valet you?" s:,. What would hhey 31:31,31?" But he evidently was not ,, ::y('d, for he smiled widely. ''I ('ccs the plain -('lathes man would tiirow a tit." But Pearson's view was more ser - i„(:, and it:volved a knowledge of not improbable complications. He knew "the !::,11" and its points of view. "1 couldn't draw my wages, sir," he protested. "There'd be the great- est dissatisfaction among the other servants, sir, if I didn't do my duties. There's always a—a slight jealousy ,1 valets and ladies' -maids. The general idea is that they do very lit- tle to earn their 0611,0ies. I've seen thein fairly }rated." "Is that se? Well, I'll be darned!" remarked Mr. Temple Barholm. ,He gave a IDnntent to reflection, and then cheered up immensely. "I'll tell you how we'll fix it. You mule up i11to my room and bring your tatting or read a newspaper while I dress." He openly chuckled. "Holy smoke! I've got to put on my shirt and swear at my collar -but - tens myself. 1f I'm in for having a trained nurse do it qtr me, it'll give me the Willies. When you danced around me before dinner—" Pearson's horror forced him to com- mit the indiscretion of interrupting. "I hope I didn't dance, sir," he implored. "I tried to be extremely quiet." "That was it," said Tembarom. shouldn't have said danced; I meant crept. 1 kept thinking I should tread on you, and I got so nervous toward the end I thought I should just break down and sob on your best,m and beg to be taken back to home and mother." "1'm extremely sorry, sir, I am, in- deed," apologized Pearson, doing his best not to give way to hysterical Giggling. How was a man to keep a decently straight face, and if one didn't, where would it end? One thing after another. "It was not your fault. It was aline. I haven't a thing against you. You're a first-rate little chap." "I will try to be more satisfactory to -111 arrow." There must be no laughing aloud, even if one burst a blood vessel. It would not do. Pearson hastily con- fronted a vision of a young footman or Mr. Burrill himself passing through the corridors on some er- r::nd and hearing' master and valet :-hnuting together in unseenly and whnlly incomprehensible mirth.. And the next remark was worse than ("-(' i'. "No, you Won't, Pearson" Mr. Temple Barholm asserted. "There's where you're wrong. I've got no more use for a valet than I have for a pair of straight -front corsets." This contained a sobering sugges- (Contit:ued front page 71 11,'n or a Be''in wwol anti•marassar."

Ohio woman for three years • could hardly keep about and do her bousework elm was soil!. Made well by Lydia E. Pink- hain'a Vegetable Compound: Fayette, O. —"For about three yearn I was very nervous and had backache sideache, dragging -down pales, could not sleep at night, and had no appe- tite. At times I could hardly do my housework- I got medicine from the doctor bat it did not help me. I saw Lydia E.

BALL, R. 16, Payette, Ohio. An Illinois woman relates her experience: Bloomington, 111.—" I was never very strong and female trouble kept me 5o weak I had no interest in my, housework: i had such a backache I could not cook a meal or sweep a room without raging with pain. Rubbing my back with alcohol sometimes eased the pain for a fear hours, but did not stop it I heard of Lydia E.

W alnnt St., i3loomtngton, III. The conditions described by Mrs. Cassen, Mrs. Ball, and Mrs. McQulttywill appeal to many women who struggle on with theirdaily tasks in just ouch con- ditione—in fact, it is said that the tragedy in the lives of'some women is almost beyond belief. Day in and day out they slave in their homes for their families —and beside the daily routine of housework, often make clothes for them- selves and for their children, or work in their gardens, all the while Buffering from those awful .bearing -down pains, backache, headaches, nervousness, the blues, and troubles which cap the very foundation of lefe until there comes a time when nature gives out and an operation seems inevitable. If such women would only profit by the experience of these three women, and remem- ber that Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound is the natural restorative for ouch conditions it may save them years of suffering and unhappiness. There is hardly a neighborhood in any town or hamlet in the United Staten wherein some woman does not reside who has been restored to health by this famous medicine. Therefore eek your neighbor, and you will find in great many cases that at some time or other she, too, has been benefited by taking i and will recommend it to you. For more than forty years this old-fashioned root and herb medicine hasbeen restoring suffering women to health and strength. Lydia E.

"Say, Pearson, what do you think of him?" "Well, sir, I've not seen much of him, and he says very little, but I should think he was a gentleman, sir." Mr. Temple Barmolm seemed to think it over. "That's queer," he said as though to himself.. "That's what Ann said." Then aloud, "would you say he was an American?" In his unavoidable interest in a matter much talked over below stairs and productive of great curiosity, Pearson was betrayed. He could not explain to himself, after 'he had spok- en, how he could have been such a fool as to forget; but forget himself and the birthplace of the new Mr. Temple Barholm he did. "Oh, no, sir," he explained hastily; "he's quite the gentleman, sir, even though he is queer in his mind." The next instant he caught himself and turned cold. An American or a Frencman, or an Italian, in fact, a native of any country on earth so slighted' with an unconsciousness so natural, if he had been a man of hot temper, might have thrown something at him or kicked him out of the. room; but Mr. Temple Barholm took his pipe out of his mouth and, looked at hint with a slow, .broadening smile. "Would you call me a gentleman, Pearson?." he asked. Of coupe there was no retrieving such a blunder, Pearson felt, but— "Certainly,sir," he stammered. "Most—moscertainly, sir." "Pearson, said Tembarom, shaking his head Slowly, with a grin so,good- natured, that even the frankness of his words was- friendly humor itself —"Pearson, you're a liar. But that dosen't jolt me a bit. I dare say I'•m not one, anyhow. We might put an "ad" in one of your papers and find out." "I—I beg your pardon, sir," mur- mured Pearson in actual anguish of' mind, Temple Barholmilaughed out- right, "Oh, I've got it in for you. How could you help it?" he said. Then he stopped joking again. "If you want to please me,' he added with delib- eration, "you look after Mr. Strange - ways, and don't let anything disturb him. Don't bother him, but just find out what he wants. 'W'hen he gets restless; cone and tell me. If I'm out, tell him I'm coming back. Don't let him worry. You understand — d'on't let him worry. "I'11 do my beet—hers very best, sir," Pearson -answered devoutly. "Tve • been nervous and' excited this first day because I am so anxious to please --everything seems to depend on it just now," he added, daringan- other confidential outburst."But you'll see I do know how to keep my wits about me in general, and I've got a 'good memory, and I have learn- ed my duties, air. I'II attend to Mr. Strangeways most particular." (Continued next week.)
