Hope Farm Notes 
(Continued from page 938) 
the north side of the field some 15 rows 
have a poor stand. On Monday we will 
harrow that over and replant. So through 
the afternoon Harry, the soldier, leads 
his squad of hoe strikers back and forth 
through the corn and the string beans in 
the other orchard. Harry was one of the 
American boys who chased, the Germans 
out of France, and he is running the 
quack grass and redroot out of that corn¬ 
field with the same spirit.

I went down a little early to get a 
letter off to the daughter at. college. As 
I write Mother sends down a message: 
“Tell her I am too busy trying to take 
this baby census to write.” Cherry-top 
took the letter to mail and I went out with 
the children for a round at those straw¬ 
berries. We have set out about 1.200 
Marshall plants back of the house, and 
we want a star performance with them. 
We had hardly hoed out one row when 
Nature proceeded to O. Iv. De Voe’s re¬ 
port and down came the rain in a brisk 
shower. Everyone except the geese got 
under shelter and we found supper almost 
ready. Let us all keep up our spirits and 
the Hope Farm man can usually give his 
famous imitation of some of the fat and 
solemn butlers he has seen serving dinner 
at homes of the rich and great. These 
dignified citizens usually make me won¬ 
der what I would do if I had to live under 
their eye. My children seem to think I 
might make a shining success as a waiter 
in case my failure as a farmer should 
become too evident. At any rate it’s a 
good thing to be able to go back to youth 
now and then. I must be going. Little 
Rose likes to sit beside me, and Mother 
looks across the table and sees that the 
baby has not put her bib on. You know 
how those good ladies sometimes have to 
talk and act at the same time. Mother is 
talking freely about her day’s experience, 
and as she talks she walks around the 
table to fix that bib. The mental will 
usually master the mechanical, and this 
momentarily absent-minded lady starts to 
fasten the bib on her husband’s neck. A 
delicate compliment, I take it. I must 
be getting back to youth ! It was too Avet 
to do much after supper, though I did 
play a couple of games at pitching rings, 
and the boys beat me. So I kindled a fire 
that we might have one dry spot at least. 
Little Rose has had her bath and I wrap 
her in a thick shawl and bring her down 
to sit with me awhile. “Not the way to 
bring up a child !” you will say ; but you 
are not bringing up this one! She begins 
to nod at last and I carry her upstairs 
and then come back to the fire. What is 
the first duty of a man who would hon¬ 
estly like to see the world grow in moral 
courage and wisdom? Here is a volume 
of the Harvard classics which I have been 
reading. It contains “The Education of 
the Human Race.” by Gotthold Lessing. 
Here is what I am thinking about: “Lc# 
the, soldier who pays blind obedience to 
his leader become, also convinced of his 
leader's wisdom, and then say what that 
leader may not undertake to achieve with 
him ?” 
That is my idea. First gain and hold 
the confidence of your own family and 
friends and then follow someone higher 
up in whom you may have confidence. 
But here comes Philip to tell us of a 
new calf at the barn. That brings our 
famous 50-pound cow into action. We 
have certainly had a good day. K. w. c.

Farm Tires 
EFORE the year goes any further, 
it will pay you men in the business 
of farming to look into what Goodrich 
Tires offer you above all others in cost, and 
service suited to the farm. 
They could not better meet your special 
need in tires were they designed solely 
for farm usage. Their burly, broad shoul¬ 
dered bodies measure up to full farm-day 
work. Their extra thick, extra wide 
SAFETY TREAD is the answer to the un¬ 
paved road. 
The extra wide tread lays more tough 
rubber, and more safety—the clutch of 
Goodrich interlocking safety bars—on the 
road. 
Goodrich’s fortified sidewall is your defense 
when riding ruts. 
When you get a high-power car, remember 
Goodrich Silvertown Cord Tires add to its 
power. 
And remember always that, pneumatic or 
truck tires, a farm on a Goodrich basis 
saves money in its tires.
