i bureau of labor there has been ex
tracted the interesting fact that sale
prl vs of nearly everything reached a
higher level last year than at any time
during the last eighteen years, and the
farm produce leads all the rest.
The bureau divides the 258 commod-
it’es of the country into nitre groups
. aud farm produce showed the highest
increase in price attained by any of
the groups. And the encouraging feat
ure of the report is that the panic of
last year did not affect prices of farm
stuff very much, in fact, taking every
thing sold, the farmer got more money
in 1907 than the average of ten years
before.
Som farmers may not know this, but
It is true, because Mr. Powderly's bu
reau says so. Aside from the musty
figures of a departmental report, the
fact is evident that the farmers of this
country are more prosjierotis than they
have ever been. It Is shown in better
houses, bigger bams, fatter bank ac
counts. fewer mortgages, better ma-
chinery, and. more important than any
thing else, higher standard of living
for the family.
There is one small fly in the oint
ment. however, and that Is the fact
that while farm produce has been rais
ing In price, clothing, implements, lum
ber and building materials, house fur
nishing goods and some other things
farmers must buy have gone up. too.
But ns these commodities have not
kept pace with the advance In the
price of things the farmers have to sell
they may on the whole feel that they
are gaining ground and that agricul
ture is not to be despised.

Don't Be Afraid of Originality.
Do not be afraid of being original,
even eccentric. Be an independent, self-
reliant, new man, not just one more in
dividual in the world. Do not be a
copy of your grandfather, of your fath
er. or of your neighbor. That Is as
foolish as for a violet to try to be
like a rose, or for a daisy to ape a sun
flower. Nature has given each a pecu
liar equipment for its purpose. Every
man is boru to do a certain work lu
an original way. If he tries to copy
some other man, or to do some other
man's work, he will be ud abortion, a
misfit, a failure.
Do not imitate even your heroes.
Scores of young clergymen attempted
to make their reputations by Imitating
Beecher. They copied his voice and
conversation, and imitated his gestures
and his habits, but they fell as far
short of the great man's power as the
chromo falls short of the masterpiece.
Where are those hundreds of imitators
uow? Not one of them has ever made
any stir in the world.—Orlsou Swett

Usually, lie said, one statement is far

we can decide easily which to believe.
It is like the boy and the house-hunter.
The house-hunter, getting off a train at
a suburban station, said to n boy:
“My lad, I am looking for Mr. Smith-

“About twenty minutes' walk,” the

“Twenty minutes!” exclaimed the
house-hunter. "Nonsense! The adver
