FARM PROFITS Figures collected from three dif ferent sets of fnrnis in Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin in the past few years throw light on the questions whether farmers are making targe profits or only a bare living, and what the labor income is. As the report on these figures says the findings do "not jus- tify making flat generalizations as to what the profits of farming are for the country as a whole, they should have weight in the considera tion of the general problem." For the farms studied the results show that comparatively few farmers make large profits; that a consider able number of them are making but a bare living, and that most of them make a labor income of less than $500 per year, over and above the things the farm furnishes toward the family living, which, however, con stitute an important factor. It would be desirable to have the studies extended over larger sections of the country and, with the necessity of keeping farm accounts for use in preparing income tax statements, it will probably be easier hereafter to collect figures and make compari sons. Although generalizations are not justified, as the report says, it Is a fair guess that, taking the country as a whole, and all sorts of farmers on the average, there wiil be hardly j H any more favorable figures produced j jj than those reported above. jj If the guess Is right the condition j Is deplorable. Today the farmers of : the country are facing losses. What ' jj hopes they had of a good profit on ' jj last year's business have gone and,jj while they must take reconstruction ! jj losses along with every other sort of business mai.their case is worthy of special attention and relief. Agriculture is the basis of all prosperity. Our farms must be main tained ,and made attractive. . m w .......

When I am smoking I am mild, I never raise a fuss or rant, I am as gentle as a child, and harmless as my maiden aunt. But when they take my pipe away I fear I'll train with savage men; I really am afraid to say what tragedies may hap pen then. Our lives are full of ugly curves and what we suffer no one knows; tobacco soothes the tired man's nerves, and gives his jaded soul repose. There's peace in forty million homes because Tired Fathers puff and puff; with wreaths of smoke around their domes, they know tobacco is the stuff. They do not care to beat their wives or break the crockery and chair; for smoking calms their troubled lives, as it would heal sore heads of bears. In moral fits, at divers times, I've thrown my trusty pipe away; then I wrote pessimistic rhymes and scrapped with neighbors every day. I'd sternly say, "No stock of pelf will ever make me smoke again;" and then I'd sit and hate myself, and also hate my fellow-men.
