ARE YOU TRYING TO
BLIGHT GROWTH OF
PUBLIC CONFIDENCE?
People should be very ear
ful how they repeat stories
or rumors reflecting upon the
character or integrity ■< f other
people unless they know
whereof they speak.
“They say" and “l have
been told" and kindred ex
pressions have caused more
heartaches, blasted mine
character and ruined more
business men and institutions
than any' other tiling in th •
world.
Someone, in a fit of rage,
superinduced by prejudice,
malice or envy will make re
marks reflecting upon the hon
or and integrity of other peo
ple, when the real facts will
often show that the accused
is a man whose honor and in
tegrity ranks above that of tin
man who is making the accu
sation.
It is all right t< denounce
the man who is a crook, if
you have substantial evident-*
that he is a crook, but then
is too great a tendency among
most of us to make indiscrim
inate accusations against our
fellow men.
This is especially true with
regard to our public-spirited
citizens whom we choose to
serve us in many of the mine;
but none the less important,
positions of public trust.
For instance, let a man be
elected road overseer, school
director, fence commissioner,
road commissioner, or in fact
to any minor position of pub
lic trust where he handles a
little money and receives
practically no pay, and people
who have lots cd' guts and lit
tle brains, will immediately
begin 10 make sneering re
nun ks about “crooked road
mmissioners," or “crooked
•lion! directors, or such other
remarks
prejudice
j udgment
is their
i and 'acl: of good
! may suggest.
These remarks, prompted
i by prejudice or jealousy, art
taken up by others and re
peated until they become cur
rent talk and probably some
‘man or woman of the highest
interritv and cleanest motives
; is permanently injured.
It is a bad practice and not
'only destroys public conii
dence in men, but has a
blighting effect upon the
gjowth of that public spirited
in ss that is essential to pro
giess.
The peddler of rumors un
dermines the confidence of
tin public in men and institu
tions in which thousads are
directly or indirectly interest
ed. One false rumor—one
ca re 1 ess rem ar k—flreq ue n 11 y
bee mes the basis for exag
gerated stories which may
eventually wreck a bank or
other business institution,
which, according to all rules
of business and reason, was
solvent.
Confidence is necessary it1
business-. At this period in the
history of this country we
need tc restore confidence in
our fellow men, in our busi
ness institutions and in our
selves. Jt is a time when men
and organizations should
woi k in harmony and lend a
helping hand where needed.
The practice of the Golden
Rule would dc much towards
restoring peace and prosperi
ty throughout the world.

FARM BUREAU NEWS *1
~ - -J li i? ii ii ii ii ||
The Farm Bureau will start
the Farm Bureau Advocate,
beginning with the June issue
which will be out about the
tenth ol‘ the month. A column
u ill be devoted, as before, to
the Farmers Exchange. If
you have anything to cell or
exchange or if there is any
! thing that you want to buy
let the County Agent know
about it and he will see that
it is published. No charge
; will be made B.i this service.
The Farm Bureau Advocate
is published so that the farm
ers of the county may keep
up with what the Farm Bu
reau is doing and what it in
tends to do. It is hoped that
every farmer will read it
carefully and find out what
the Farm Bureau really is and
the work that it is doing. The
Farm Bureau, with the few
members that it has at the
present time, is taking care of
many of the problems of the
farmer; with every farmer in
the county a member and
doing his part it could take
care of neaily every problem
that the farmer has at the
present time.
VV UUL
The wool that was pooled
here last year has been ship
ped to the Senter Commission
Co. of St. Louis. It seemed
that most of the men inter
ested in the pool wanted to
sell rather than have it manu
factured into doth and blank
ets. The wool was shipped
by freight so it will be two or
three weeks before we hear
'from it.
SHIPMENT OF LAMBS
The Farm Bureau will make
a cooperative shipment of
lambs the latter part of June
if there are enough in the
county to make up a carload.
If you will have lambs that
will be ready to ship at that
time and would like to ship
on the cooperative plan send
your name to the County
Agent together with the num
ber and approximate weight
of the lambs to be shipped.
Get this information in as
soon as possible so that we
can tell whether such a ship
ment can be made or not.
Please name the shipping
point that you would prefer
to ship from and it may be
that we can get up a car near
you.
FARM BUREAU MEETING
The Farm Bureau will have1
its regulai meeting Saturday,
May 28 at 1:00 p. m. at the
