LABOR ON THE FARM
Manual labor is more import-
ant to the individual, to society
and the government now than..
e\er before. It ‘will be of still
greater importance as th® wan
continues.
Every farmer shauld .be im-
pressed with his opportunity for
useful labor It seems that farm
abor will bring greater remun-
eration and be of more service to
the country than most people
realize.
The surest means of success
in life is honest, painstaking la-
bor. There is! no better way to
lrnild up character and attain
true manhood and womanhood
than labor for a; purpose and
with ar definite aim.
This is true of farming. Young
people who have an opportunity
for honorable,painstaking labor or
the farm should do their utmost
to accomplish something above
the ordinary. It is difference be-
tween the ordinary and the ex-
cellent that leads to success in
any business.
Whatever is worth doing at
all its worth doing well No one
can afford to neglect the task be-
fore him Excellence in work;
gives satisfaction that is worth all
the effort it requires. Little
lie thinks what a great help that j thing's on the farm require great
