THE IDEAL TENATN AND THE IDEAL LANDLORD. An Address Delivered at the An naul Picnic on the Stephenson Plantation. In Progressive Farmer. The ideal tenant wants to have something. A living thing without spirit does not amount to much to itself or anybody else. The horse that goes round with its ears flap ped and head hanging down is a plug and nobody wants it. It is equally true of a human being that the one witliout ambition and aspiration does not amount to much for himself or anybody else. And the tenant who is satisfied with a few rags ox clothes on his back and three meals a day. whi is willing to go on year after year being a tenant and nothing more, is not much account to liirnsolt or tn his landlord. 2.—The ideal tenant is willing to work in order to have some thing.— The trouble with so many peo ple in the wt hi is that t! ey want tu lmvc something all right, but they jut not willing to work for it, and think that there is some easier way than by work to get it. But when (iod said that man shall live hv the sweat of ids brow, he was stating a fact: rather than pro nouncing a curse upon man; and it lias been true through all his tory that nothing worth while comes without labor. Did you know that the average inherited property is lost within seven years? And you well know that gamblers almost never take care of the money they win. On the other hand, you know that the man who makes his money by his own hard lieks does take care of it, and if you knew the history of Ihe men who have amounted to something in the world you would know that they rose to promin ence by hard work. 3. —The ideal tenant takes pride in his work.—The man who isn't in love with his work ought to change his job. I know that there are men who are never sat isfied with what they are doing, who think that the other fellow's job is the easiest, who always w ish they were in somebody else’s place. But such a man amounts to anything and is hardly worth counting. The real man loves his work and takes pride in what he is doing. The ideal tenant takes pride in his team and wants to have the best kept team on the plantation. He takes pride in his crop and wants to have the best worked and best arranged crop on the place. He takes pride in his home and wants to have the best kept house and the best kept out buildings on the place. He wants everything that he touches and has anything to do with to he creditable to him. 4. —The ideal tenant practices the spuare deal.—Some people think that the successful man has achieved his sueees by shrewdness and sharp tricks. That is not true. Oneee in a while a shrewd and tricky man does accumulate a big estate or. at least, makes a big show. But, like the gambler’s money, his estate soon vanishes. The really successful man is the one who practices the Holden Rule in his everyday llife, who gives his fellow man a square deal and the ndemamls of his fellow man that lie get a square deal in return. The ideal tenant gives his landlord a square deal: he consid ers the interest of his landlord as well as of himself;; he does not resort to sharp thricks or shrewd practices, hut does as he would be done by. The Ideal Landlord The ideal landlord wants his ten ant to have something.—lsn’t the landlord who encourages his tenant to accumulate rather short sighted Isn't he simply fixing to lose Ins tenantV Won't his tenant soon have a farm of his own and move out" Yes. that in all true, but is it not a shortsighted policy. The tenant who is working in or der to have something for himself is also making something for his landlord, and an ambitious, aspir ing tenant will make more for his landlord in five years than an un ambitious, unaspiring one will make in a lifetime. Besides, one of the keenest satisfactions in life is the consciousness of having help- ed someone and the ideal land lord would by far rather he able to say of a man, “I gave that fel low his start; he w r orked for me five years,” than to say of some ragged, dirty, slothful old man, “That fellow has been working for me all of Ins life.” Among the sweetest words in our langu age are, “I gave him a start.” 2.—The ideal landlord gives his tenant his very best advice, con sidering - the interest of the tenant quite as much as the interest of himself.—l consider that the land lord owes as high duty as to ad vice to his tenant as a lawyer does to his client and a doctor tQ his patient. One man is landlord and another a tenant because the for mer is capable of advising the lat ter. And the landlord who consid ers only his own selfish interest in advising his tenant is on a par with the lawyer who advises a lawsuit or the physician who ad vises an operation in order to get the fee. 3. —The ideal landlord takes a pride in his tenants.— It is a fact that you can .judge a landlord by his tenants. "Wherever you find that the tenants on a plantation arc. as a rule, lazy and dirty and dishonest and good-for-nothing, you can mark it down that the landlord himself is not what he ought to he and that he is working his tenants for whal he can get. out of them without any regard to what he can put into them. And the ideal landlord considers the moral and spirit mil welfare of his tenants the same as their material welfare, lie will not tolerate im moral practices among his tenants He will encourage them in every noble aspiration, lie will take pride in every worthy thing they do. 4. —The ideal landlord also pra ctices the square deal.—He consid ers the welfare of the tenants the same as his own; he does not take advantage of the ignorance of his tenants; he does not indulge in sharp practices and do things that he would he afraid to. do if he were dealing with a man of equal intelligence. Instead of that, lie makes allowance for the ignorance of his tenants and sets an example of straight dealing. The ideal landlord, then, wants the tenant to have something, does all in his power to enable the tenant to accumulate something, takes pride in the progress that liis tenant is making, and sets him an example of square dealing as hot wen man and man. Relations Between the Ideal Landlord and The Ideal Tenant.— It follows naturally that the rela tions between thei deal landlord and the ideal tenant are happy. Hat h has a respect for the other. Mach sympathizes with the other. Then tenant rejoices in the pro gress of the landlord and the land lord rejoices in the progress of his tenant. When things go wrong with the landlord the tenant stands by him and helps him pull out of the shodow. And when things go wrong with the tenant the landlord stands by him and helps him pull out of the shadow. As man and man, each dependent upon the other, the landlord and tenant stand by each other through thick and thin. When you have such a landlord and such te nants as this, you do not have la bor troubles, but, instead, you have the elements of an ideal com munity. Wealth and Poverty.

The girle are operatives in the big Hillside cotton mill at LaGrange, Ga. The men re overseers and second hands in the same mill.

Palmer, Okla., writes: “From the time I en tered into womanhood ... 1 looked with dread from one month to the next. 1 suffered with my back and bearing-down pain, until life to me was a misery. 1 would think 1 could not endure the pain any longer, and I gradually got worse. . . Nothing seemed to help me until, one day, . & • I decided to TAKE The Woman’s Tonic “I took four bottles,” Mrs. Jones goes on to say, “and was not only greatly relieved, but can truthfully say that 1 have not a pain. . . “ It has now been two years since 1 tookCardui, and 1 am still in good health. . . 1 would ad vise any woman or girl to use Cardui who is a sufferer from any female trouble.” If you suffer pain caused from womanly trouble, or if you feel the need of a good strengthening tonic to build up yourrun-down system, take the advice of Mrs. Jones. Try Car dui. It helped her. We believe it will help you. Ail Druggists j.es
