The Desire To “Do” 
What We Need Most in this World is Inspiration 
A FEW weeks’ rest 
has been good for 
all of us. I find it often most embar¬ 
rassing to write about practical matters 
because they don’t work out as I expect¬ 
ed they would. Then again, I see the 
work being done by many quiet people, 
unheralded and without thought of pub¬ 
lic notice, that is better than mine, and 
I wonder what 
By H. E. COOK 
E. COOK 
their feelings 
must be if they 
read what I say. 
However, there 
may be some in¬ 
spiration gained, 
and so, after all, 
there maybe 
good come out .of 
it. My observa¬ 
tion h’a s been 
these many years 
that adults as a 
whole are more 
in need of inspi¬ 
ration than of in¬ 
formation or edu¬ 
cation. In fact. 
for such a vast number 
of young people with¬ 
out inherited means to become owners 
of property as now. Maybe no times 
are better for the rare individual 
who crops out only occasionally. The 
earning power of a person without a 
single dollar to keep him is just simply 
enormous as long as single. Of course, 
when a family is to be supported, the 
story is a different one. 
when I become deeply interested in an 
article, or what some one tells me, it 
is the desire aroused in me to do, 
rather than the “how” of what is said 
that does the good. 
Facts are no good until we assimilate 
them into our own mental fiber organ¬ 
ized and arranged according to our own 
particular method of filing and book¬ 
keeping. One of the most outstanding 
farmers’ institute directors of this 
country some 25 years ago, the Hon. 
O. C. Gregg of Minnesota, reckoned the 
purely educational features as of minor 
importance. His plan was to hold 
lai-ge meetings where mass psychology 
could be trained into action, and then 
he said the people will get the facts 
through contact and from published 
information. 
Generally speaking, Mr. Gregg, in his 
palmy days, was not rated high, but 
more and more, as the years go by, I 
rate him ever higher. We all know peo¬ 
ple who have the power within them¬ 
selves to generate all the enthusiasm 
that they can put into practical use, and 
then we say they are self-made. Well, 
whatever it is, it makes the wheels of 
industry and social order go round and 
gets things done. 
Young Folks Less Economical 
But I do know that young people are 
not as a rule developing economy. With 
all of the apparent unbalanced eco¬ 
nomic relationship between the farm 
and city, I do not believe there is a bet¬ 
ter chance for the average young man, 
not the rarely specialized, unusual one, 
than to work in the rural sections and 
make economy a cardinal virtue. Lands 
and homes are cheap. Five thousand 
dollars will buy a business and a home, 
and nowhere can a good business man 
do a larger volume of business based 
upon the investment than upon this 
$5,000 farm. 
The personal element valuation can 
be expanded all out of proportion to the 
money invested. The weakness of the 
situation is that the selling value of 
the business does not increase with the 
income tecause the man power is the 
outstanding force and value. But why 
sell? We must live somewhere, and 
staying in one place and building a 
reputation for character and high- 
grade production isn’t set up over night 
like a circus tent, by any means. 
One of the finest compliments I have 
ever heard paid to a person was this 
statement by a townsman to the Rev. 
Dr. J. M. Payson, with whom I was asso¬ 
ciated at the St, Lawrence State School 
for nine years. He said that whatever 
the_ Doctor did he was always in com¬ 
petition with himself, and I can vouch 
that it was true, every word. 
A Leader of Men 
More than 30 years ago, a widely 
known lecturer, who was himself a busi¬ 
ness failure, led thousands to make bet¬ 
ter butter and to feed balanced rations 
which put their own business going 
right. And so, if I have ever given re¬ 
newed courage to anyone, perhaps it is 
worth while, and I ought not to have a 
grudge against myself. Dooley once 
said, in the days when Roosevelt was 
getting first headlines, “that no man 
who had a grudge against himself would 
ever be Governor of a great State.” 
Give us clean, wholesome, forward- 
looking vision and inspiration, and we 
won’t go far astray. 
Never before in the history of the 
world has there been the opportunity 
A Worthy Challenge 
Its originality and deserved applica¬ 
tion marked it with me as never to be 
forgotten. He wasn’t in competition 
with anyone else, but always trying to 
do a little better than before. And 
there is no place under the sun where 
that plan carries farther to-day than 
in the production of farm products. It 
is not true that consumers fail to rec¬ 
ognize quality. They may not take to 
what the producers say at the outset, 
but if he is always in competition with 
himself, his reputation soon gets into 
the atmosphere and people expect qual¬ 
ity and no questions asked, and it won’t 
make any difference what the product 
may be. _ And so, boys, cut out some of 
the movies. Buy necessities of good 
quality. Don’t look shabby. 
Pick out a savings bank and regu¬ 
larly deposit a certain percentage of 
your earnings, it won’t matter how 
much, for if continued long enough 
the delight of adding each week or 
month will soon be more attractive 
than the movies or automobiles. And 
the amount will then take care of 
itself. It’s worth trying. 
Figures from the United States Department of Agriculture show that 
the consumption of milk is increasing in the city but not in the country. 
The milk bar” at farm picnics and country fairs are becoming more 
popular. We should have more of them •
