AGRICULTURES NEW LEADERSHIP
My faith in the future of American agriculture is greater
today than it ever has been. Times may he a hit hard, prices
lower than they ought to be and conditions throughout
Industry unsatisfactory for tin* moment, hut there is a great
corrective force at work in agriculture and its effect will be
increasingly evident from year to year.
The hoi>e of agriculture, the force that will find the
solutions for its many perplexing problems, the leadership
that will blaze the trail to farm prosperity, is in the young­
er generation of farm boys and girls. On them rests a tre­
mendous responsibility, a challenging opportunity for serv­
ice. And they are eager to accept it. In fact they have ac­
cepted it and are at work, with an enthusiasm that can t be
downed and an optimism and «ourage that will not coun­
tenance defeat.
During the last summer I have had repeated contacts
with these farm boys and girls, men and women of tomor­
row. 1 have seeu them at 4-H club meetings, at state fairs,
at county and local fairs, at farm picnics, in conventions
and at work on the farms. 1 have talked to them, heard
them discuss the problems of agriculture, both of au eco­
nomic and a practical nature. 1 have seen the results of
their thoughtful labor and 1 have sensed their desires and
their ambitions. The more 1 talked to them, the more I lis­
tened to what they had to say. the more 1 saw of their ac­
complishments. the more fully 1 realized the power of the
force for good that they represent. These boys and girls
are dynamic. The are not satisfied with things as they are.
They have the determination to effect the changes which
will establish things as they ought to be. They are not the
compromising kind. They are not willing to accept a half
way victory for agriculture. They want nothing less than
equality with other industry, a standard of living equai to
that of other classes of our population, a future that is
limited only by their ability to achieve.—Arthur Capper in
Capper's Farmer.

THE POWER OF AN INCENTIVE
Nobody does the best he can without an incentive.
Charles M. Schwab the other day told of a workman at
one of his steel plants who declared he could not do an­
other stroke more of work than he wqs doing every day.
He was shoveling twelve, tons of clay daily. Mr. Schwab
arranged that the man should get a bonus of a small
amount for every ton shoveled, and within a week or two
the same man was moving thirty tons a day and making
no complaint of feeling tired.
It works that way all up and down the line of human
endeavor. Not one person in a thousand ever does all that
he or she can do, physically or mentally. Give him a defin­
ite incentive- more money for more w ork or shorter hours
or something else that is greatly desired,—and the average
man will surprise himself and his friends by the increased
amount of work he can accomplish.
Every scheme for limiting the amount of a day's work
is unsound and unfair to worker and employer alike. The
only perfectly fair system of compensation is one based
upon actual production, with the worker given the freest
possible opportunity to do all that he has the capacity for
doing.

Rufus Holman, New State Treasurer, and Hal Hoss,
secretary of state, comprise two ex-printers on the new
board of control. The first job Governor Meier wants them
to do, is to fire Carle Abrams, secretary of the board and
state purchasing agent. Abrams is an ex-printer also. Evi­
dently the governor doesn't want to set in board meeting
with 100 per cent ex-printers, for which you cannot blame
him too severely.
The Federal Radio Commission has denied the applica­
tion for the elimination of the advertising of games of
chance and lottery over the radio. This ruling made to the
American Newspaper association, means that not the same
restrictions are going to be placed on radios as newspapers.
It is the height h of inconsistency and fair play.

“Where is my wandering boy tonight?” people used to
sing, but in these times he can usually be depended upon
to show up by breakfast time.

MORE ABOUT “COLDS”
“Colds" and “heart disease” seem to be in the vast
majority of American ailments if one keeps his eyes open
to complaints at home and watches reports of sudden
deaths out-state. And colds are considered not at all seri­
ous, though extremely inconvenient to have on hand.
Let me again hammer this truth home: The proper time
to “break up a cold," is at its very beginning. When you
begin to feel a little “shivery,” and begin to sneeze frequent­
ly, with vague and shifting little pains about the different
muscles, with a general indolent and incapable feeling, lack
ol appetite- maybe feverish and apathetic, you are taking
a cold; and the time to begin treatment is right then and
there.
Bear in mind that, there is no demand for a purgative
unless the bowel is positively not functioning and even then,
a non-irritant like cascara or compound licorice powder
is best. I am advising thase, of course, who have not a
physician within easy reach.
I am aware that the patient resents this admonition,
but. the thing to do, if you would be correct is-—go to bed
and cover up warm, no matter what the time of day. If you
do this, you can break your cokl competely within 24 hours
—if you take a simple glass of hot water every hour. Add
lemon-juice if you wish: the kidneys need flushing quite as
much often need it more than the bowel.
The principle is, restore the surface circulation; most
anything that keeps the skin warm and full of blood will
cure a cold in short order, if taken early. If you wait two
or three days before beginning to treat, you may as well
figure to wear the cold out by your sheer powers of resis­
tance and you may get a cough that lasts the better psjit
of the winter, simply by your neglect.
Warm, dry feet make a pretty good insurance against
colds. It was once said, “keep the head cool, the feet warm
bm 4 the bowel open.” There’s a whole volume of health
law to t you.
