victim of an injury by one of his
horses last Saturday evening
late. He was in the lot seeing

once carried into the house and
a doctor called. Reports from

overheated last Thursday, which
resulted in his death. While

Abandoning work is not good

Activity means life, growth

Just as soon as a man sits
down he begins to go down hill,
and there is no valid reason, ex-

why any man should go back in

It ought to be and can he of an
upward and broadening road

The man at (50 years of age has
just arrived at a place where he
can really begin to see and en-
joy the big things of life.
His eyes are opened and they
are supported by a mind that
knows and appreciates.
Let the man who is able to re-

A farmer of advanced years

He would be able to

The farmer who retires and
moves to town after he has attain-
ed success through years of ex-
perience is making a grave mis-
take and setting a bad example.
He is deserting the battle field
just as the victory is possible
and the gates of the promised
