HOW TO MAKE $4.00 AN HOUR
Farmers are busy this time of year.
And yet nobody is ever too busy to make more money.
If you are wasting time on a fifteen cent an hour job. when you might
be making $4 an hour you are not busy, you are merely fussing with
trivial details.
In short, how much paint is left on the weather side of your house?
It costs twice as much to build now as when you did.
Painted houses, and barns, last anyway twice as long as houses un­
protected from the weather.
Two coats of paint on your house will save you more money than you
can make any other way in the saine time.
Averaging farmers the country over, their houses lack paint,
They think they are too busy to paint in the summer. and they can’t
paint in the winter.
But there is always time around the farm to make $4 an hour,
And $4 is an underestimate of what a job of paint makes for the
farmer.
Farmers think they are too busy to bring tools and implements under
cover.
Many times it is impossible at each week’s end to bouse all the im-
plements scattered over the farmstead.
But certainly in the fall all implements can be put under cover, and
through the summer some kind of covering should be provided to spread
over the most expensive machinery.
Farmers’ houses and tools last about half as long as they should be­
cause they are not repainted, and not given ordinary protection from long
seasons of bad weather.
«
And when you paint remember that linseed oil and white lead are
the only things in paint worth having. The best system is to buy your
lead and oil and turpentine and do your own mixing; If not, get the best
paint you can find; cheap paint is a waste of time and cash.
The coal situation in the United States to­
day is rapidly becoming alarming, it is im-
possible to secure mine labor. The car situa-
tion is becoming acute and of nation wide scope
with no immediate relief in sight. Due to the
long, hard winter, coal stocks of both commer­
cial consumers and industrial users are depleted.
The situation is most unusual.

We see that Congress has reestablshed the free seed graft.
Graft is the only name we can give it.
The congressmen have found that packages of seeds, sent to the
thousand' town and city voters-in their selected list, are the cheapest ad­
vertising they,can secure.
It is easier to let Uncle Sam buy a lot of cheap seeds in Europe whence
our seeds for this distribution have always come, wad them in a big en­
velope, and drop them by the ton in the mail for Uncle Sam to carry free
of charge to a thousand office workers, who will never plant a grain of
them, than it is to write a letter telling constituents what Congress has
done for them; and decidedly less embarrassing.
Through the years we hate hopefully planted the seeds sent by mem­
bers of Congress.
Way back in the parlous days of Cleveland we first began to plant.
We have planted Democratic seeds and Republican seeds; safe and
sane seeds, and pacifist seeds, and militaristic seeds, and free silver seeds,
and gold standard seeds, and high tariff seeds, and free trade seeds, and in
Just one particular did all these seeds agree; they uniformly, without hes­
itation, or demur, stayed right where they were put.
A congressional seed never gets up early in the morning and greets
the rising sun.
No sir it stays right at home; it sulks until it rots, and no more
would a Washington, D. C. seed condescend to burst its mortal bounds and
send up a hopeful arm through the dark dirt to beckon to the skies, than
would the average M. C. give earnest thought and sensible consideration
to the urgent needs of American agriculture.
But if the congressmen imagine that the farmers of the co -intry are
still placid yokels, that accept any sort of political palaver as full payment
for their votes, they will be enlightened as rapidly as election time comes
’round.
The farmer today is really awake.

DON’T WASTE GASOLINE
The popularity of the automobile, the truck, and the tractor, has revo-
lutionined modern industry. If anything should happen to cut off the
supply of gasoline, the resulting inconvenience, loss and distress would
be as great as could be caused by a general strike on the railways. Hence
the fear alone of a shortage is enough to cause thinking people to give the
matter the gravest consideration..
Improved processess of cracking the molecules of crude oil have en­
abled refiners very greatly to Increase the yield of gasoline per unit of
crude. Had this improvement not taken place, an acute condition would
long agu have overtaken the automobile Industry. The increasing use of
gasoline has already run ahead of the supply, and measures must be taken
to cut off waste. Every gallon wasted means that much potential power
evaporating without its doing a share of the world’s work.
WE’RE WITHYOU
In a recent communication from one of our correspondents, mention
is made concerning social activities of the rural districts and get-to­
gether meetings that bring neighbors closer together.
Meetings where
"music, social pleasantries, and patriotic endeavors should be encouraged
to the exclusion of ‘cliquey’ functions; project farmers need recreation of
a cooperative nature,” are the thoughts brought out by our correspondent.
The Herald would like to cooperate and do all in Its power to make
meetings or social gatherings of this nature a success. We firmly believe
in this sort of recreation. It makes us broader minded; makes us think
more about our neighbors and their welfare, and gives us all good whole-
some amusement.
Let's have more of ’em.

THE CHURCH
The church is a religious home,
a sanctuary for worship, a school
for religious instruction, a fighting
unit for the new world that is build-
ing. It is a social center of the high-
est type, since it gathers into rela­
tions of mutual helpfulness people
of every age and condition, and
since it adds to the attractions of the
ordinary club the power of religion
and the generous sympathies of the
altruistic impulse. The church is
the moat broadening and catholic
organisation among men, since ita
vision is to the ends of the world
whither the gospel is being carried,
and since its citizenship is in
Heaven as well as in the earth.
