jWAVjj^ FARMERS . . . . success rule My friend Charles P. Collisson, who knows more farmers than any other man I know, and who writes in the Minneapolis Tribune more horse-sense about farming than any other writer with whose work I am familiar, printed a piece the other day which bears out my contention that most of the trouble farmers find themselves in arises from the same source as most of the troubles the rest of us are in—ourselves. Charlie Collisson tells the story of John Linster of Elm Grove Farm, near Northfield, Minn. John Linster has been running the same farm for 34 years. He is so far from being discouraged that he has bought another 160 acres, over in Wisconsin, for his son. The secret of this farmer's success is the secret of anybody else's success; he never spent any money until he had it, never borrowed money until he knew where it going to earn something for him, never discarded anything old for something new merely for the sake of change, and kept a strict record of every cent received and spent. Those rules, coupled with knowing ] had a "WornQui wife ... and then came CHEAP ELECTRICITY maidruj her and a FULL TIME You mothers who are household-weary .... who work hard and have no time for yourselves ... should find out now the magic aid that elec tricity offers to you.

Anybody can succeed who follows them. JEWS another view I have never been able to. share the prejudice against Jews as a race that a good many of my Christian friends exhibit. I have no sympathy with the Hitler persecution of the Jews in Germany. I think a good deal of the anti-Jewish feeling arises from the fact that their manners frequently do not conform to Anglo- Saxon standards, and most folk judge others superficially by their manners. What the world owes to the Jews is suggested by a motion picture I saw the other day. It is called "The House of Rothschild," and the star actor is George Arliss. It is quite a wonderful picture apart from its Jewish connotations. Produced at this time, when the Jewish world is aroused over the situation of its race in Germany, it may have been de signed as a clever piece of anti-Hit ler propaganda. But it is an au thentic bit of history, and splendidly done. Everybody who wants to un derstand the finest manifestations of the Jewish character ought to see it. LAWS that we like The older I get, the more I am impressed with the fact that any law is only as good as the public sentiment behind it. If the people like it, it is a good law; if they don't like it, they won't obey it. If every motorist who disobeys the local speed laws were arrested THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA there wouldn't be jails enough to hold them. But no police force could be maintained large enough to enforce the speed laws strictly. The best laws are those which leave people freest to do whatever they like to do, restraining them on ly from infringing on others' rights and punishing them promptly and severely for doing anything which results in injury to another's person ior property. ENGLISH 1,000 words More than five hundred million people, a quarter of the world's pop ulation, either speak English or live under the flags of the two great English-speaking nations. Our lan guage is the most widely-spoken of all. It is not as easy for those bred to other tongues to express them ! selves correctly in English as in some | other languages. For that reason, as I have pointed out before in this column, efforts are being made on both sides of the Atlantic to organize a simple vocabular of less than a thousand English words by means of i which any idea can be expressed. This, it seems to me, is far more i sensible than the various attempts I to create a new "universal language" | such as Esperanto or anything else ; which is not already familiar to mil lions. PRAYER its purpose I heard a woman say not long ago Ithat she had lost her faith in re ligion. She had prayed and prayed for something she wanted and had | not received it. It struck me that ' there was something decidedly wrong with the church or the teacher of religion from whom this woman had got that selfish idea of the use of prayer. I never have found anything in the Bible to sug gest that one can petition the Al mighty for personal benefits and ex pect to get them. Those who profess faith in God but try to dictate to the Supreme Being as to how every detail of their lives should be shaped have a totally false idea of the teachings of religion, says my friend Harry Fosdick, whose sermons draw the largest crowds in New York. I agree with him that many people regard themselves as the center of the universe, and what they need most is the sort of faith that assures them that all they need to do is to live up to the Golden Rule and take what comes without whimpering.
