Some discussion has arisen among
automohilists as to the gender of the

the question. The Academic Fran
caise has lately set out to determine
the matter and, it is said. has arrived
Mt the conclusion that "he" is the prop-

in spite of the fact that yachts. steam
engines and other Illuminate means of
travel are shes" according TO popu-
lar usage.
Judging from the irresponsible and
Illogical actions OF some automobiles
and their proneness to do the unex-
pected. ''she" is entirely suitable. vet
some automobiles are steady. reliable
and sure. so that he" seems TO bp the

is trouble enough between the sexes.

Great Western railroad. tlat The farm
life OF America has been n"ealessly

lees. He is Il very earnest advocate
OF complete change ia the methods
of farm life He is in favor OF Great
ing little community wherever there
are even half dozen farmers scatter
ed on the wide western prairies. He
would have these farmers come into a
common community. not in any sense
theoretically communal. but con-
munity for cultivation. for mental ad-
vancement for social progress. for the
fostering of the finer and the jollier
features of life. He advocates the
union OF these farmers into such a
town or community, each one going
out from his home i'm the morning to
his field as a city laborer goes out to
his work. The houses he would have
built ut some intersecting point. which
would at all times leave the families of
the farmers in immediate contact. Not
only would there be great increase i'm
the satisfaction of living. but protec-
ton would be insured in the emergen-
cies of sickness. fire and tramps. He
would obliterate the isolation which
separates the farmer from the world
and which, if we are to believe those
who have made n study of the sub
ject, does much to increase insanity i'm
rural regions.
Yet or no point is he more strcnu-
Gus in his writings than on the foolish
ness shown by intelligent men i'm flock
ing to the cities for employment in al
ready overcrowded quarters when the
opportunities in the country are so
large and tempting TO the man Of clear
vision. Here is quotation from an
address which Mr.. Stickney gave some
time ago:
TO the dogs with the sentimental
nonsense that the examining process OF
the city schools and the advantages of
city churches. which you seldom enter.
ARE all that makes life worth living"
and that TO remove to the country is to
rob your children of these advantages.
Let laboring men examine the pedigree
OF the successful business men. the dis
tinguished lawyers. the leading phvsi-
clans, the most eloquent clergymen.
and almost without exception they are
country born, reared and educated"
