FARM I HriNG STANDARD
" 11 1. (’ONTIN I E TO ADVANCE
American farmers are living more like "city folks”,
than at any time since pioneer days, savs J. H. Op-
penhemi president of the Farm Equipment Institute.
And barritu’ war or economic catastrophe, he prHivr-' -r-
—that the In mu Mandard of rural families—measured
in «e<>ds. seFvices and opportunities-^-will continue
tu advance toward a new high level in the next decade,
Mr. Oppenhcim. who is also vice president and.
general manager ot New Idea Farm Equipment Divis-
ion ol Ayo Manufacturing Corporation, cites figure^
to show that the average farmer’s wartime prosperity
is based "ii a solid tourtdation.
Farm menme„has almost tripled since the begin-
ning ot the war,” he says. "Part of these earnings
have been translated into more comfort anddess work.
That extra money has_meant better houses, modern
kitchens;‘Tiecm<fffy Tor more homes, it has.....meanr
more machinery to plow and prepare the land, to plant,
cultivate harvest and store crops. It has helped 2,500,-
ono fewer farmers, to harvest 20,000,000 more acres
toda\ than before the war.
Bpt perhaps it is more important that, while barm
income has trebled, farm savings are more than four
times what they were in 1940, and that the national
farm mortgage debt has been reduced by 20 per cent
in-tbe same period.”
DIMINISHINC MARGIN-
1 he retail stores of the United States are con-
stantly operating more efficiently—and are constant-
ly fighting the expense problem in order to hold down
prices to encourage .trade.. And thtpr unit sales profits
have been decreasing.
Thar is the gist of a report by Professor Malco*m
McN ur, of the Harvard Graduate School of Business.
He analyzed the expenses and profits of 328 like firms
for the y ears 1947 tnd 1946, and found that their net
profits before Federal income taxes dropped 2.4 per
cent. Furthermore, his report said, in Tecent years all
stores reporting to Harvard had shown a net profit—
but in 1947 a unmber of stores earned no profit at all.
*. The financial reports of typical retail organiza-
tions including chain systems, department stores, and
others, hear this out. Generally'speaking, the trend
has been toward a declining net profit per dollar of
safe^
The significative of this to the consumer is obvious.

DON’T TAKE A CHANGE
The National Board of Fire Underwriters has is-
sued a timely warning concerning fire hazards that
are -specially great during summer and early fall.
The tire rate in vacation cottages and resort-hotels
runs high—due almost entirely to simple carelessness.
Many summer homes' ttrc.tar from fire departments,
and once a tire gets going!"a total loss often! results.
The only defense is constant watchfulness. Don’t
overload electric circuits with extra appliances. Don't
use refrigerators and similar equipment which have
Seen out of serivee for months without oiling them.
And- above all—see that stoves and pipes are all
protected from woodwork, and that fireplaces are
screened.
The best part of a vacation is getting out of doors.
But. in time, theFe won’t be any enticing out of doors
to visit if we fail to control fire. Watch your smoking
■raicriais And never leave a campfire until it has been
tftoroughfy smothered with water and damp earth.
In short, don’t take a chance. Then you’ll have a
happy, healthful vacation—and so will everyone else.

A PRINCE SHARES WITH A
SHEPHERD
JONATHAN wa« the crown princa
J apparent. David was a shepherd
boy Saul expected to pl .ee Jona-
than on tiic throne Gad had ae-
leefed David.
I Jonathan would, no doubt, h*v*
S mad# a better king than Saul, hli
father but he had no desire to b#
king when h' discovered the kingly
qualities in hi» friend, David Not
once,did Jonathan ever indicate any 1
disappointment In not becoming
king

JONATHAN 8TANDS CP FOR HI8 1
FRIEND
nr HEN Saul openly plotted the
Vv death of David. Jonathan 1
begged his father to reconsider his !
i course and apart the life of the man i
{ who had killed Goliath and had I
proved himself the valiant friend of j
Saul. This was the final teat of Jon-
athan’s sacrificial lov* for David
H* might have remained silent, thus
aiding In the death of the one man
who stood between him and tha
throne But Jonathan was mad* of
th* stout textura which counts no
aacrlflca too dear for a friend Ha
was willing to stand up and be
counted when U meant that he
would not become kin* Thus are
see that true friendship is not al-
ways easy. It usually U scry costly,
hut it pays big dividends In th* coin
tt eternal wealth
FRIENDSHIP THAT COSTS
A 81) like as Jonathan stood up

friendship for David, at a vary
great coat, ae are ire today sum-
moned to this ennobling type oi
friendship far Chriet, "Ye are my
friends If ye do whatsoever I com-
mand you.” he once aa'd.
Young people find It rather coetiy
to be loyal friends of Christ today.
Thera era many siren voices that
invite young people to take th* low
road—social drinking, gambling da-
victi of one sort and another, satis-
faction of sensual desires. But th*
true friend of Christ will withstand
these voices, chooiing rather the
high road of Christian gentlemen.
