L1EFA RMERS BEST ASSET
Only a lew days agu an article appeared in the Kansas City
Stcr which was a "write up" of a successful farmer who started
in life with nothing, but who, by hard toil and close manage
tnent, succeeded in acquiring 140 acres of good land upon
which he made his home and reared his family.
To the question put by the reporter to ttfe farmer. "What is
the farmer's best asset?" this reply was made:
"The best asset upon any farm is the wife. Had not been for
my wife the buying of this farm and its improvement would
not have been possible. My wife has kept up our table, has
clothed our backs, aiwi has educated our children by saving
the small change which came to us through sale of poultry,
eggs and butter. By keeping milk cows, and seiling butter and
eggs and poultry the proceeds of the grain crops from the
farm was made possible for payment and improveme u of the
home."
The above facts are indeed interesting. It is the first time,
however, that we have known where the head of a family not
only confessed that his wife was the chief supoort of the fam-
ily, but it is also the first time that we have ever seen it in
print. «
After all has been said and done, we must recognize that it
takes small things collected together to make success. There
is no better way to succeed than by the poultry and produce
route. We invite thivaccounts of the housewife.

ognize the principle that the main
tenance of peace will require the
reduction of national armaments to
the lowest point consistent with na-
tional safety and the enforcement by
jcommon action of International obli-
gations. having special regard to the
j geographical situation and circum-
stances of each States, and th 1 execu-
tive council shall formulate plans fur
! effe cting such reduction.
! The executive council shall also
j determine for the consideration nnd
j action of the several governments
what military equipment and arma-
ment is fair and reasonable in pro-
portion to the scale of force:< laid
I down in the program of disarmament
and these limits, when adopted, sh:■ 11
not be exceeded without the pornils
slon of the executive council.
The high contracting parties agree
that the manufacture by private en-
terprise of munitions find Implements
of war lends Itself to grave object lorn
and directs the executive council to
advise how the evil effects attendant
upen such manufacture can be pre
' er,ted, due regard being had to the
jocessltles of those countries which
i are not able to manufacture for
I themselves the munitions and Imple-
j ments of war necessary for their
safety.
