Expressed in a few words would be
Each of us build a home and let the
rest of the world go by.
Much easier said than done.
Nearly all of the strife and unrest
of today is caused by one person (or
group of persons) having what some
Other person (or group of persons)
want.
It makes no difference whether it
Is between individuals or between
nations, the result is the same. Be
tween Individuals it causes fights
and lawsuits; between different
groups of people It causes strikes,
lockouts and feuds.
Between nations it causes war.
Germany had a monopoly on cer
tain manufactured goods that
England wanted; France had a re
publican form of government that
the military' )ader of Germany
wished to crush. Germany wanted an
outlet to the Mediteranean so that
she could have a share In the trade
of southern Europe, northern Africa,
Asia and the Indies. Germany also
wanted a freer (easier) access to the
granary of Europe (Russia).
Uesult The European war,
which is far from being settled to
day, and may not be settled for
years.
A nation of home builders and
home lovers is not a warring nation.
Switzerland, a home loving nation,
is seldom mixed up in war, while
England (The British Isles) a nation
of factories and world rovers, Is
usually a member in all wars of any
consequence.
A home builder is for the better
ment of himself and those around
him.
A manufacturer is for the dollar,
which he gets by outguessing, or
heating, the other fellow, much after
the fashion of a person that tries to
live by the use of his wits without
producing anything.
The manufacturer produces, but
he must beat the other fellow to
market.
The farm is the natural and only
home colonization. Remove men
from the farm and civilization dies.
Remove man from! the farm; and
i In fifth generation! is unknown,
and even the third generation is
very rare (scarce).
Dut, the farmer of today, under
the present method Is but little bet-:
ter than a slave. Why? Because
when he buys anything he must pay j
whatever the manufacturer asks, 1
when he sells anything he must take
whatever the middle man, or jobber.
many farmers are in the habit of do
ing). Because: By raising a variety
of products he Is nearly always sure
to have a reaay market for some of
them, and the other will make feed
for his livestock.
Have a variety of products and
sell the ones that fit the market
best. (Keeping a few of the best,
that you may produce still better, In
place of selling the best and finally
having scrub stock to produce from).
In proportioning a 40-acre tract
I would suggest at least 15 acre3
of timber, two and a half acres of
orchard, two and a half acres for
buildings, runways, pens, lawn and
berries. The balance of the place I
would divide into eight equal fields,
on which I would practice crop rota
tion, beginning with corn, followed
by truck (consisting of potatoes,
sweet corn, cabbage, tomatoes, and
other vegetables), then wheat
which would in turn be followed
by oats or rye, and seeded to grass,
this would furnish hay the follow
ing two seasons, then it would be
turned to pasture for cows and
horses, and the following season it
would be pastured by sheep and
hogs, Then back to corn. I would
have the planting of the fields so ar
ranged that no two of the fields
would be In the same stage of ro
tation the same year.
The timber (wood lot) would go a
long way toward solving the post,
lumber and fuel problem of the na
tion. Our forest resources are fast
becoming (exhausted and without
lumber civilization dies. With the
large forests disappearing, we must
look to the farm wood-lot for our
futur,, lumber supply, much after
the fashion of France, Belgium or
Germany. They plant a new tree
each year for each one cut down.
W hat we need is not more laws
to curb the existing trust! and cor
Delations, but a system under which
they will become unnecessary. Then,
and then only, will '.he producers
be free of the strangle-hold which
the financiers have upon them.

Noah Webster define, the word '.ale" a. "the exchange of a commodity (merchan-
due) for money of EQUIVALENT VALUE"
Note those words, "EQUIVALENT VALUE!"
Shakespeare say. of "Sak.work" - "work or thing, made for SALE; hence, work
carelessly done."
When an article, value or intrinsic worth is EQUIVALENT or equal to its REGULAR
puce, that price cannot be reduced for a .o-called ".ale" without los. to the merchant -and
merchant, are not in business to lose money!
When the price U high, it is not an "equivalent value." The merchandue i. not
worth the price.
Hence, when high prices are reduced it is merely re-arranging them to where tf ty
should have been in the beginning. Thus, it is seen, that the public is not being give
the same fair, just and honorable treatment every day in the year.
The J. C. Penney Company never hold ".ale." Price, at our Store, are fixed at t .
