be done, we took stock of the things we 

 j could do. Being naturally (?) musical 

 it was decided that we try out our ability 

 along that line. Then we could not break 

 entirely from the method so long in use 

 so each agent gives a talk. Dramatic 

 talent was discovered in all agents so a 

 short act is given by the entire company 

 with special acts according to the dra- 

 matic tastes of the agents. 



So far the program has been given 

 with great success in four towns. In 

 each of these towns programs of work 

 have been obtained and everyone decided 

 that at the next meeting a larger crowd 

 would be present. One man told the agent 

 that he had attended meetings in the past 

 and this was to be his last, but after en- 

 joying himself, he promised to be on 

 hand next year and will al.so see that his 

 neighbors attend. Taken altogether, the 

 new program is working nicely and by 

 another season we expect to make it so 

 much better that you cannot afford to 

 miss it. If your town has not had a com- 

 munity meeting, it is your own fault. 

 Get after your town director and you will 

 get it if he will only make his wants 

 known to us.

and merchants share the burdens of price 

 declines with the farmers and make the.se 

 nations more economic producers than the 

 United States." 



"To-day the farmers finds himself con- 

 fronted with his biggest customer, indus- 

 try, disorganized and unproductive, not 

 only in this country but decidedly more so 

 in western Europe. Until that part of 

 the world's economic life recovers from 

 what amounts to a sickness the agricul- 

 tural market will suffer." 



"Amei'ican cajjitalists have already 

 commenced to invest in European indus- 

 try. That will help our farmers. There 

 are some who would make oui- tai iff wall 

 so high as to hinder their export trade, 

 and, con.sequently, their ability to buy our 

 farm products. Fortunately, that move- 

 ment is not making- headway rapidly. 

 We are commencing to appreciate the fact 

 that our prosperity depends not on the 

 giasping of business for ouiselves, but 

 upon every one recovering prosperity.
