What completes the charm of this lovely room ?
Hardwood floors!
When you are ready for your floors that "look
like satin, and wear like iron”,
The Avalanche job department is
equipped with the latest, improved
machinery and equipment. Why send
away for printing when we can do it
as well and as cheaply?
These floors can be laid over the old ones, if you
wish, removing only the quarter-round at the bot-
tom of the baseboard.
Imagine this same room with rough, uneven
flooring, and you can see what an improvement is
made by the glistening surfaces of Sherwin-Wil-
liams Varnishes.

The Prudent Bride
Dorm in Savannah a comely colored
girl was preparing for her marriage.
For four months before the ceremony
she hoarded her wages; but imime-
lately after the wedding she hunted
up her mistress and asked her to take
charge of the fund.
I'll take it, 1 course," said the pus-
ziled lady; "but, Mandy, won't you
tve needing yAnr money to spend on
our honeymoon ?"
"Miss May," said the bride, "does
on think I'se goin' to trust myse
wid a strange nigger an' all dart
money on me?

With Credit to S. Blythe
/ Sam Blythe claims this is a true
one. Maybe he is right; Sam gener-
ally is.
He says a Washington wholesaler
wished to learn the relative qualities
of two brands of mucilage. He hand-
ed one bottle of each brand to his
negro janitor.
"Henry," he said, “take these and
test them and see which is the
stickier."
Hours passed before Henry reap-
peared. Wearing a somewhat un-
happy, not to say distressed, expres-
sion, he entered his employer's office
and placed the two bottles on the lat-
ter's desk.
"Well, Henry," said the jobber,
"what's the result of your experi-
ments?"
"Boss," said Henry, "it's lak dis:
Dis yere one gummed up my mouth
the most; but dis yere other one, the
taste lasted the longest."

• the same as the farmer, yet business
came through in a way that is far
. ahead of the farmer. This has been
brought about through industrial
efficiency, through improvement 01
methods. They have increased, labor
output per unit to the degree the costs
of production have actually been re
duced by better methods of carrying
on work. Industrial enterprises on a
large scale are spending millions on
research. In ten years automobile
output per worker has increased 172
per cent, tires 211 per cent, oil 83
per cent, cement 61 per cent.
"Compare that with others. The
packers have increased only 27 per
cent, sugar refining 28 per cent, boots
and shoes only 6 per cent. There has
been an increase in agriculture since
1913 of 20 per cent. It is doubtful that
business has any such opportunity as
exists in agriculture to reduce cost
of production through improved meth
ods. Take corn,—Iowa shows a varia
tion in cost of production from fifteen
cents to seventy-five cents a bushel. In
Illinois the cost of producing corn on
80 acre fields was reduced from fifty
two cents to twenty cents a bushel.
| The manfacturer who had it within
| his power to reduce production costs
| from fifty-two to thirty cents per unit
! would be tickled to death with the
opportunity of meeting competition
under these conditions.
“The way out for the farmer is (1)
| to become a business man, (2) to
1 adopt business methods, to adapt
| himself to the same kind of conditions
| and be as efficiently mobile as is our
| manufacturer or our business man in
| the ordinary channels of his trade,
| (3) to rely less upon political
promises and more upon individual
| initiative, (4) to work toward co-
I operative endeavor, but in the mean-
| time not to wait for cooperative en-
| deavor to solve all of these problems
| because individually he can do some-
thing at the present time."

Dew Russell of Wisconsin Cotlege
of Agriculture says: "Tun things
name hit the farmer hard but the
same things have hit business They
are Wacrease in cost of pareductors
and decline in prices which later
has been mere drastic in Carm pro-
diets than manufactured products.
The farmer’s political friends say
salvation can be found through tegir-
lation Our legislative doctors pro-
pose price control. The difficulty
with this us price control always
| nteame price -elevation which always
produces expansion in production and
if this occurs without expansion in
consumption you have thervintable de-
eline isa prices. The remedy works to
produce the very opposite result
from that intended.
"Another legislative panacea would
make it easier to borrow, as it run
ning into debt was the solution of the
difficulty There are farmers w hr
wish it had not been quite so easy to
1 borrow because the inevitable 23
) comes when they have to pay princi
pal and interest. The third legisia-
tive remedy would make easier the
pathway for cooperative endeavor
All you have to do is to wave the
magic wand Cooperation and all the
farmer's difhenities will immediately
disappear. i wonder if there is any
government that can make people co
operate The success of cooperative
effort will lie in organization from the •
bottom up rather than from the top
down and it will take a decade or two
for the results to be felt.
The farmers have at hand a
remedy that can be utilized im
mediately with the definite knowledge
that it will secure far better results.
If they will take a leaf out of present
day business methods they will have
relief in agriculture they will not have
to wait for. Business has suffered
