BETTER NOT SAY fT!
Bad news travels faster than
good news. There is an old
saying, "No news is good
news." Let a man be con
verted ai a church service and
there is not much of a stir, but
let a resident be convicted of
some crime and the news leaps
by word of mouth from one
end of the community to the
other.
How thoughtlessly unkind we
sometimes are when neighbors
of our suffer misfortune
Troubles are bound to come to
us all in some shape or form
and what we say about our
friends and acquaintances to
day may apply to us tomorrow.
News is no respector of per
sons. j
We are prone to consider |
the ways of other not our ways j
when we should be watching j
our own step. What folks say j
of one another sometimes hurts !
more than anything they !
? could have done. News, either
good or bad, grows and be
, comes exaggerated and distort
ed with pedding. When news
is good it makes no material !
difference how it is exaggerat
ed or distorted ? it can never
do anyone positive harm'. But i
bad news, given wings, may j
bring sorrow and ruin upon |
p'eople who certainly are not de- j
serving pf a punishment be- j
yond the penalty of their mis- 1
take.
More charity for others will
make charity for ourselves and
we will gradually come to take
.a keener delight in reporting
something, good of some per
son than something bad. Good
is constructive, bad is destruc
tive. Just before you are about
to let out a bit of "bad news/'
stop and think a moment. See
if you can't think of something I
good to say in place of it. The !
chances are ten to one that you j
} can and that you will.
o
FARM BUREAUS j
In a spirit for ourselves and
an attitude of genuine satis
faction farmers and business
men throughout the country are
expressing their appreciation
| . of the work done by Farm
Bureaus wherever these organ
ization have been established.
One act alone that Farm |
Bureaus have been instrumen
tal in putting over is worthy j
of their organization ? the j
forming of cooperative market- :
, ing associations. In starting
soil building programs in every
county. Farm Bureaus are also
doing a great constructive
work of much value to every
farmer. Membership in the
Farm Bureau being a family
proposition, one can expect
some real accomplishments
along specialized lines such as
better preparation, more
thorough cultivation, more live
stock and legislation favorable
to the furtherance of agricul
ture and its needs.
It is well known that those j
who are not merpbers of the j
i Farm Bureau have been bene
fited by it. They have not I
I benefited to the extent of the
members but as in every other
case the co-operative associa
tion has raised the price level
and the outsider profited there
by. They have received bet
ter grades, lower interest rates
oq money borrowed, and nearer
the market price for their pro
ducts. To these things the
thousands of members will
testify.
The good done by the Farm
Bureaus is only a drop in the
bucket to what remains for
them to do and what they will
do. The farmer is soon to
come into his own. Organiz
ation is the force which will
place him there. The business |
man is not the farmer's enemy i
for the farmer must prosper in
order that the business man
may make money. It's a gei i
together proposition and as- !
jsociation means friendship and |
understanding, two mighty
strong factors in themselves.
A better era is just ahead. But
every farmer must do his part
to reap the full benefits.

AN unprecedented demand for
Atlas exists right now ? a
demand that cannot be met unless
the empty Atlas bags now in users'
hands are returned. In the course
of a year close to ?5,000,000.00
worth of bags are needed by
Atlas. This would be a heavy
burden on cement users if. the
bags were not returned and reused,
so cutting down the number of
new bags needed.
Return your empty Atlas bagv
promptly to your dealer. Help
him, and help us, keep Portland
Cement the cheapest of all manu
factured products.
