was approached by fellow chaplain
and asked to give $500 to the lobbvine.
iund being raised to pass the bill de.
caring threats We're made that the
man who failed to contribute would be
punished. In making his charges
Chaplain Jones said:
feel 1t my duty as minister of the
gospel to call the attention of the de.
partmenL to the scandalous manner in
which the 'chaplain's bill became a
law; being of the opinion that when a
body OF ministers get together and buy
legislation to increase their pay. 1t is
time that such heralders Of the gospel
of Jesus Christ be abolished as a
corps form the list of navy officers. as
surely they cannot be to the men Of
the navy what Christ and their country
would have them
OF course everything hinges on the
truth or the falsity of the charges. but
If they are found to be true it will be
generally agreed that the chaplain Is

LAND MISERABLE.

1t is coming to be pretty generally
conceded that farms are too big. Farm.
ers with a large family of boys and
girls, who are willing or may be in.
duced to work. may find the large
farm sufficiently easy to manage and
conduct with profit. The desire Of the
average farmer has been to own all
the land that joins him. He has. 50 lar
as possible, gratified this ambition,
often at the expense of his own. moro
often at the expense of his wife's,
health. Land poor is common term.
Land miserable is much commoner
fact
Farm papers are giving some excel
lent advice when they urge that the
need Of the country is large numbe.
of small farms intensively TILED
Says one Of these:
Ihat means more Independent far
mers and fewer hired men 1t means a
solution Of the hired help problem
It means more families in town
ship and that, too, of families that
own the land on which they are To-
Gated. Such people thrill with the de-
lights OF ownership. They are help
to the communities Their children
do not have to rush to the cities to
make a living. More farms mean bet
ter schools. 1t means. more electric
lines running here and there over the
country; for the electric lines go
where populations are sufficiently
dense to insure them patronage. If
the American farmer does not get
down to this idea the foreigner will
take his land. The foreigner comes in
from his little piece of land in Europe.
He has been accustomed there to
farm intensively little piece of ter
rttory. He takes a small piece here
and Is contented with it. He works
and his family works They have no
hired help problem. They soon own
the land on which the American far
mer was lord. but On which he had a
mortgage. The thirst can no longer
be gratified without the danger OF

The Ancients thought the world was

And right they were.
There's not bit of doubt Of that

They had no bridge. benighted dubs!
No brainstorms then.
Thew had no cigarettes or clubs
Like modern men.
They had no chorus girls, no graft;
No car ahead.
They had no Foraker, no Taft;
No valiant Ted
They had no mergers in their day,
No rye or gin.
They thought the world was fiat, and

1t must have been.
