KEEP YOUR HEAD,
""IIEJ?E can be too much of a good thing. So there can
A be too much talk against the high cost of living. The
present price inflation is undoubtedly a disease. But the
disease can't be cured by talk, least of all by panic talk.
True, a general business smash would also smash the II.
C. L., but it would be like removing a rash from Undo
Sam's epidermis, and driving the poison into his vitals.
That is to say, the present ailment is preferable to general
prostration, and a general prostration is what panic talk
invites.
For good times are good times, and while the consumer
has to pay more, if lie is a producer himself, he has more to
pay with. Had times, are not only bad times, but are
largely psychological. As far as physical conditions are
concerned, here and elsewhere, there never was less reason
for the cry of wolf. The crop outlook is excellent, every
one is employed, new industries are ojiening up, pay rolls
are being established.
The campaign against price inflation is desirable and
necessai'3', but it is neither desirable nor necessary, to al
low this campaign to grow into hysteria. The process of
deflation must be gradual. If it isn't, there is danger of
the entire works crumbling like a pack of cards.
So it is well for the individual to go slow on the "rocks
ahead" propoganda. There are no rocks, but economically
a rock in the mind may be as destructive as a rock in the
channel. Ideas are contagious, and we repeat hard times
are largely psychological. The danger is not that one or
two chronic glooms may see a mirage of disaster, but that
the mirage may be seen by everyone at one time.
It was .T. P. Morgan who said a bear on the United
States was' doomed to failure. This is truer today than ever
before. Business this year is certain to be better than last
year, if the people refuse to succumb to the panic of fear.
Don't spend money foolishly, but don't hoard it. Keep
a balance in the bank, but don't overdraw your pessimism
account. There are no real dangers ahead half as serious
as the danger of losing your head entirely.

FORSAKEN
THERE are no toilers willing to stayiiipon the farm;
to town they all are, drilling; the hayfield has no
charm. I hear the farmers wailing as they go forth to
plow; their standbys all are failing, there are no hired,
men now. The yeoman waves his money, and cries:
"Who'll work for me?" And people think it funny his
"dire distress to see. The farmer seeks the village, im
ploring husjvy men to help him with his tillage and raise
big crops again. He offers princely wages, he'd throv
a chroino in, and all the village sages just.sit around and
grin.. The farmer's rolling acres won't roll up ample
crops; his money lias no takers, no helper with him
stops. There is no stalwart bumpkin to. help him bale,
his wheat, he cannot thresh the pumpkin or shuck the
sugar beet. The population's shifting to towns, we
plainly see, and whither arc we drifting, my friends,
when such i hings be? If I were only younger I'd farm
a strip of loam, and help to thwart the hunger that
threatens every home. The farm lands of the nation
must grow string beans and oats, or we shall have star
vation, mid lose our valued goats.

Dependable Through
Thick
Above everything else
you want dependability built
into the grain binder you buy.'
You want your binder to go in
to your grain fields, no matter
what the conditions may be,
and cut the grain with the least
possible loss of time and grain.
We are selling the John Deere
Grain Binder because we know it
will give you that dependable binder
service which makes it a profitable
investment.
From the bottom up it's a
ietter-built grain binder. Bigger
nd stronger roller-bearing wheels;
sheavier one-piece main frame widely
Japped and hot-riveted together;
strong rigid platform; three packers
instead of two, assuring better
bundles in all kinds of grain these
are just a few of the features that
make it the better binder.
Come and see this binder. You can't make a better
binder investment. , '
HUBBARD BROS.
; Established Before the Town.
and Thin
Another feature you will
appreciate on this binder is the
easily-operated bundle carrier.
No effort to hold it in receiving
position or to dump it. Because
the teeth rise out of the stubble
the instant you start to return the
carrier, it's exceptionally easy to
bring it back to receiving position.
And it's no trick to keep this carrier
always in easy-working order simple
adjustments are provided to accom
plish this.
The Quick Turn Tongue
Truck adds much to the effectives
work of the John Deere. The wheel
turn faster than the pole, making;
clean, square corners possible. Be
cause the truck axle is flexibly
mounted, both wheels hold to the;
ground no matter how rough the
field may be. This keeps the binder
running straight, and takes of the
side draft from the horses.
