Ready Built Equipment For Farms
(Continued states, throughout the Middle \Mest are doing a big business in ready-built equipment for the farmei.
Mail ordey houses do an immense business in this field, (California so far seems to have escaped their attention.) A survey just made by C. F. Miller, Agricultural Engi- neer, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, discloses that three representative firms in Iowa buy five mil- from Page 32)
Kansas for a price equal to the local price on the material alone.
This business can just as easily be developed and kept at home by the progressive retail lumber merchant. Why not cast around in your community, study and determine the need-build something, display it at the yard-in your show window or elsewhere-let the farmer see what you

One of the most successful of these was in the contracting business a few years ago and started the business by keeping carpenters and helpers engaged in this work to keep them on the pay roll. One firm reported has doubled the business each year they have been in business. Another has reached such a production and so standardized their product that they recently sold a ready-built brooder house in dry mask feeders, have for him aside from 2x4's and 1x12's and ofier it for sale with a price ready-built, a price ready-cut and bundled, or a bill of material ready to cut with instructions for assembling.

Dissatisfaction
Dissatisfaction with one's lot is the lever with which handicaps may be lifted, the motive power with which horizons may be pushed back, the food on which both mind and soul may grow to undre{ned-of dimensions, reaching even unto the infinite. Few af the dissatisfied people who are not in some measure knlfited by contact with education, with culture, and rel{ement. From contact with thgse comes the wish to make more of life, not in the sense of accumulating mere things, but through appreciation of the high value of things unseen.-Wm. F. Bigelow.

nr/uarrry
It is not science or iy'ention, but humanity, that holds the world together. It i/not the easy bed, but the easy conscience, that makq nfn happy. And it is our belief that people need to recdg,fize this principle if they expect to give to the world what they owe it, and receive from the world what they believe they have coming.
The Green Chain Poet
You told me you loved me, and sweetest perfume
Passed by on the wings of night,
From a garden of roses just over the way And your eyes held a tender light. Yet I wondered if you kgf,w the meaning of love, Or if I worthy ever cqfild be;
But time Fis a walof Jeciding such things, She bids us wait tlll lve see.
So we stand once again iri the autumn of life, How swiftly the happy years fled;
And the garden of roses that bloomed o'er the way Has withered long since, and is dead.
Yet you still say you love me, and that is enough, Let the sweetest of flowers all die.
For your voice is at tender as in by-gone days
And the loveJight is bright in your eye.
-Chas. A. Ewing.

Making Your Own World
The man who thinks the world is full of good people and kindly blessings iy'much richer than he who thinks the contrary. Eac\$/r largely peoples the world for himself. Some men livV in a world peopled with princes of royal blood; some in a world of paupers and privation. You have your choice. To our moods the world is a looking glass. It smiles back at us if we smile; if we frown, it frowns.
