THE FARMER MIST HAVE JUSTICE. While labor as a unit is studiously keeping away from politics, conditions are driving the farmer inti politics, this because the farmer sees no other way of accomplishing anything like even justice. Business generally has started off with a healthy boom. From all parts of the country come reports or increased activity. Buying has again assumed a healthy trend. The iron and steel industry reports a hopeful outlook, automobile numufactur rs expect a big year; shippers have been benefitted by the cut in fr ight rates, gold is piling up. and if the nation keeps free of foreign entanglements the road to prosperity seems wide open to all. The farmer, however. lags behind, b spite the fact that*he is the whole sale producer of food ami clothing. Farming and transpor'ation rest as the final foundation of trade. It will be regrettable if the selfishness of the mone\ power declines to rengnize this fact and compels the farmer to line up in Congress to "reate a machinery in the interest of agriculture regardless of its effect on the industrial world. The money power of the East has frowned on the Farm bloc, but it may be^or-'ed to look upon these h'gisla tors as the leavening influence that will lead the country into the promised land. Indeed it is t > the vision of Farm bloc members that the country owes many a vote of thanks. The farmer must get justice without be ing forced to organize for agriculture ONLY. Let the bankers wake up. EYE-MINDED vs. EAIUMINDKIh Most people today are eye-minded They used to be ear-minded. Your grandfather wa« ear minded. If he did not agree with a thing he said, “It goes in one ear and out the other." You do not say that. You say. "i cr nnot see that." or. "I do not see it that war.” The old generation was ear minded. The new generation is eye-mind-ed. The old generation listened. The new generation looks.

Not so long ago men and women gathered the knowledge for which their minds were hungry by listening and talking. People went to lectures Every great man went on lecture tours, and thousands thronged to hear him. People went to church more, too, to hear things said to them. Education, knowledge, advancement,, came through the ear. Now it comes through the eye. Jokes are passed around in comic • strips rather than by telling. Many 1 advertisements are nearly all pic ! tures. The actor who ranted and roused 1 his emotions is supplanted by the silent shadow of the actor who touch- ; es our minds and hearts through our eyes. j Even things that are written — news, fiction, and every kind of article that appears in the press is told in words that evoke pictures and I usually with actual illustrations, photographs or drawings. j This is an age when pepole want facts, and the eyes are less deceptive than the ears. They want many facts quickly, tersely, brilliantly presented by experts. Even fiction must be ar true as life. The way to change a tire must be shown bv a graphic dia gram. Western Newspaper T’nion. | ~ RAD ROKDS t The annual spring thaw is witn us again and with it came the usual, old-time, deplorable road conditions Every year we spend thousands of dollars graveling our main traveled roads, grading and dragging them 1 and each spring we fin u mem in the same condition as they w« re the year urevious. full of ruts and mud. hub deep and almost impassable. | There is but one solution to tins toad problem and that is to build roads that are good any time of the year. And to do this, there must be a system of road building that first takes away the water, then put down concrete heavy enough to stand am kind of traffic in any kind of weather Os course, such r< a Is will rest mor* at first, but th w will pay in the end If properly built hey will fast for ages The kind of roads that have been bi^ilt in the past, mostly have been only so much money thrown away.

The Greatest Asset in the World is GOOD WILL

WHEN Good Will is lost, everything is lost. When Good Will is cared for, nourished and built up, it, becomes a priceless asset to any man and any business. How important then is Good Will —that reputation back of a name. And how careful must we all be in safeguarding it. Good Will is a property that cannot be insured. The Good Will of the public is the only insurance. Having built up such a name it must be kept up. To let it fall, to deceive the public, to diminish quality for the sake of extra temporary profit, is foolish and destructive as it would he to set fire to uninsured buildings. Once torn down, a name cannot easily be built up again. For eighteen years this store has 1 een building up a name a reputation that is valued more than anything money can buy. Not for once would we knowingly allow anything enter our stocks that would, in the slightest degree lower the high honor and esteem this store now enjoys. We gaurd this Good Will as we do our life, and we nrotect it bv keeping up the quality of our merchandise. When we decided to open a men’s clothing shop we investigated through and through the merits of “Campus Togs,” and only after careful analysis were we satisfied that they were such clothes we could depend upon to uphold our reputation for quality. We were approached also by a number of other makers soliciting our business. We finally decided upon a high grade maker to produce
