The Forum was unani- mous in the opinion that the fai-mer should not change his production plans to any marked degree, as he prices of his products change. It is almost impossible for those in spec- ialized lines to change, but those following mixed farming mig*ht make some adjustments.

They may feel better and be more hopeful in youth, and they may know more when they are older. But in early middle age, on ^he average, they are too busy to ponder long on whether they are happy or not. Resourceful old people get around this by planning ahead. They lay out jobs for themselves that will take less physical and nervous en- ergy but will still be a shade harder thna they can conveniently do. Young folk with their long, long thoughts and longer college education have a hard otife of it But eventually most of them get working at something and brighten up. By the time they are short-winded and aching, they will have too many troubles to be unhappy. â€" Ex. How To Be Happy Be up to your ears in things. This is one sure way to happiness. It does not matter what you are up to youv neck in.

So People Could Retire At Birth (Bowmanville Statesmna) We've heard a lot about pension plans recently some contributory, some non-contiibutory, but every one was a pretty inadequate proposition when compared with the blatantly sarcastic plan offered by Alfred Haake, the mayor of Park Ridge, Illinois, who writes with his tongue in Ills cheek for a number of small town neAvspapers. Wrote Haake, as quoted by The Wall Sreet Journal: Every new-born child in the Unit- ed States w^ould receive a promis- sory note for '$20,000.00 at 3 pe.cent interest, payable in 20 years. The three percent or $50 per month, would go to the child's parents until the child was 20. Each year during those 20 the government would pay 81,000.00 into a sinking fund for the retirement of the note and when the child reached the age of 20 the gov- ernment would give liim or her the $20,000.00 it has paid into the sink- ing fund. Boys and girls ol 20 who elected to marry would thus have a capital cjf $40,000.00 and work woiild be forever unnecessary If they would undertaike to have at least four child- ren, because they would receive $50 a month for each child until it reached the age of 20, and there would be enough left of their own $40,000.00 after that to care for them in their old age. Nobody would have to work agrain. The parents, in addition to |50 for each child or $200 a month for four children, could invest their $40,00.00 in government bonds at 3 percent and have an additional income at $100 or a total of $300 a month. " This, says the Wall Street Journal, , might seem comical. But in a day when the government proposes to make Americans all rich by distrtl>- utrng dollar bills and when a labor union says they can all have more good things by working less, it would not be surprising to see this scheme taken up seriously in Washingrton. The project for the new era will be to work less and less and quit that earlier and earlier. The slogan: "Why Wait, Retire at Birth." BORN MARSHALLâ€" To Mr. and Mrs. Fred H.
