L STORK The difference between people is not so great after all. It’s merely a matter of understanding one another that makes harmony. The first fel low who uses just a little diplomacy, thinks twice before he deliberately steps on the second fellows corns, and the second fellow, using the same fair reasoning, stops and counts a few numbers, not necessarily ten, before he pulls back and lets go a haymaker. They are the kind of fellows who build up cities, make good neighbors, make a good living for themselves and do a world of good for the com munity in which they live. They are just regular chaps, that’s all. A community blessed with just a few men who are always willing to give and take, and sometimes give a little more than they take, seems to us is a rattling good place to live. Pick on Hermiston, good people. You’ll find an over abundance of those good community builders here. SEEING BOTH WAYS Some of us are content to go thru life noting the mistakes of others, blissfully indifferent to the fact that they see us as we see them. People think of us only as our own conduct and actions deserve that we be thought of. If we spend our time in petty and obnoxious criticisms of others, we must expect that they at least will be able to detect the beam in our own eyes. A few may be short sighted and unobserving, but the majority of peo ple are wise and quick to note the idiosyncrasies of human nature. Why is it that some people are uni versally admired and respected thru life, although they have their faults, as do the rest of us? It is not because those faults are hidden from the world—far from it. It is because such people have hearts endowed with more than the average of humar compassion—hearts that prompt the mind to recognize the good qualities of others rather than to be continually seeking out the weaker points. It is because they see the better side of others that the world thinks so well of them. AU people have their faults, but some, unfortunately, are only able to distinguish those which exist in the other fellow.

He is interested in anything that will increase his profit. He knows the importance of good seed and well bred stock. He has been talking about it for years. Thought and a little investment pay big dividends in buildings as in stock and seed. When good farm buildings will pay for themselves in the saving of grain, stock, feed and machinery in one season—surely they can be called a good investment.
