OVERLOOKED OPPORTUNITIES.
Chances in Average Small Town for
Profitabiy Engaging in Business.

According to the United States cen
sus of 1900 there was produced in the
United States 1928, ,662 ,433 dozen eggs.
The same statistics give the annual
production of poultry at 250,623, LII
The butter made on farms each year
is in excess of 1000, ,000, 900 pounds.
The cheese made on farms averages
about 20.0oO,O00 pounds annually.
These statistics are interesting, and
with each farmer growing poultry and
eggs and making butter and cheese, it
hardly seems possible that such COM
binations as dairy trusts and egg and
poultry trusts could exist, but that
they do is nevertheless a fact
Every small town in a farming dis
trict can command sufficient butter,
egg and poultry trade to support a
prosperous exclusive produce estab-
lishment. The practice has generally
obtained in agricultural districts of
storekeepers in various lines taking
farmers produce in exchange for
goods. The produce thus received by
merchants is forwarded to the com
missio2 houses in the large city, and
these houses are factors that make 1t
possible to maintain trusts in the pro-
duce business. 1t appears that If each
towr had its exclusive produce estab-
lishment to buy what the farmer has
to sell instead of the produce going
through the local stores, that better
prices could be paid the farmers and
the business made most profitable
one If rightly conducted.
According to the natural laws Of
business industry succeeds best where
advantages are most abundant Thus
it seems that the produce offers a
most excellent field in the majority of
agricultural towns.

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
inMany Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of our generation. To be sure.
there are hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But In at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom. decaying rushes on the floor
OF his banquet hall. or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength OF arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieva! lady for other
tasks. Moreover. although her cloth
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace. and heavy with jewels
1t was not subject to rapid changes Of
fashion. The cut of sleeve or the
hang OF skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Lifo
was then free from the modern terror

SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
Two Vital Things for the Welfare Of
the Masses.


There is wisdom In the old slogan.
"A school on every hill top and a
church in every valley" Citizens of
the United States may well feel proud
OF the great educational system which
makes it possible for all classes to ac-
qufre the proper mental cultivation.
They may also feel proud of the re-
hgious liberty that each and every
citizen enjoys. There is no estab-
hshed church to interfere with the
free exercise Of conscience, neither is
there any law that interferes with the
exercise of religious belief.
The United States can be looked
upon as a nation where schools and
churches flourish to the fullest. The
public school system is one of the
most perfect that civilization has yet
evolved. OF course there are COM
munities where local conditions are
not SO favorable for schools as other
places. 1t will be observed that the
more important is the city or the
town. the more advanced are the edu
cational facilities offered the people
The residents of rural communities
have their state or district school, the
curriculums Of which are restricted
1t is to the nearby town that the chill
dren who are residents of the farm
districts must look for their higher
education, which is a necessary prep
aration for entry into college. and for
business life. How important 1t is,
then, to the resident of the farm dis
trict that his home town be an active
place and of sufficient business i'm
portan.s to Justify the maintenance Of
a high class school! 1t can be seen
how each resident of farming com
munity should be interested in the
home town and all that pertains to its
upbuilding. II on no other account,
purely on account OF the educational
facilities.
Running parallel in Importance with
the schools are the churches. The
better the home town the better are
the church buildings, and the greater
is the talent that fills the pulpit Both
schools and churches have education
al qualities that should not be lightly
valued. They mean the highest men
tai and moral development, and upon
this development depends the good
citizenship and the advancement and
perpetuation of the nation

THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.
This Man Worked Hard In His Own
Particular Way.

One of the neighborhood loafers sat
comfortably smoking his foul pipe. ac-
cording to his daily custom, in the pre-
scription room of drug store. He
was soliloquizing aloud to the clerk.
Here is a sample of his sound, con-
tented philosophy: I'll tell you what!
A man is mighty miserable If he amt
got nothin' to do. when he amt work
in at somethin'. / know tive tried
both ways an ! find that there amt
nothin' that makes a man more miser-
able than doin' nothin'. But. you
know, there's two kinds OF work; one
of them is where feller goes to work
at six in the mornin' an works with
his hands till six at night. The other
is where feller sits around an thinks.
| amt never happy unless I'm work
in, but l don't believe In that first
kind OF work. | believe In thinkin' all
day long, an that's harder than the
other kind. I can tell you-you Just
try 1t II you don't believe me; man
is mighty miserable when he amt
workin'."

ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON.
Falthist Community Latest Addition
to Its Queer Sects.


The Faithist community which has
established n modest footing In Bal
ham. and whose comprehensive gospel
ranges from the creation of man to
the glory and labors OF the gods and
goddesses of the Etherian heavens" is
the latest addition to the long list OF
Londons religious sects. which are
now almost as many as the days Of
the year. In London the Chinaman
burns his incense stick In more than
one 1oss-house in the east end, the Ma
hometan has his mosque. the Masayan
his temple, near st. Georges street
east; the Parsees worship the sun In
Bloomsbury, the Mormons have a mis-
sion In Islington. and In many parts
or the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform their
strange rites. OF Christian sects In
London there are at least 300, includ-
Ing the Cokelers. the disciples of VIII
liam Sirgood. the Walworth shoe
maker; the Peculiar People. who pre-
fer prayer to physicians: the Sande-
manians. the followers of Joanna
Southcott, the prophetic serving
maid; the Shakers and the Seventh
Day Baptists.

In Praise of tho Pie.

Laura Simmons tells In an article
why good New Englanders should
stick to pie, and calls attention to the
fact that Emerson ate 1t three times
a day. and says that pie is the ladder
by which New England has climbed
to its place of proud eminence. She
questions whether any sensible per-
son was ever known to forage at the
midnight hour for predigested cereals
or the innocuous prune. She does not
believe that many New England ances-
tors died Of apoplexy. due to pie, but
counsels all to go on pie-eating, despite
the fact that the fiat has gone forth
that 1t is vulgar to eat pie.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Millions of Dollars Annually Saved to
the Farmers Of the United States.

One of the most important move
ments that has been inaugurated of
recent years, and which has resulted
in wonderful benefit to the people is
the good roads movement. Within the
United States there are approximately
about 100000 farmers. II during a
year each of those farmers can be
saved $40 in time, or in wear and tear
upon horses and wagons by means of
improved roads, it means saving OF
sS0,000,000 annually; but the truth is
that the improved roads that have
been built up the past half dozen years
through agitation of the good roads
movement saves each farmer in the
land from $50 to 800. Thus it can be
through this movement aggregate hun
dreas of millions of dollars each year
Good roads are important to the
progressive town. This fact has be-
come SO recognized that wherever
there exists a live agricultural town
its citizens will be found to be staunch
advocates of road improvement, and
there is civic pride and friendly COM
petition in the matter OF having good
roads leading to the towns. The work
of road improvement has only fairly
begun. A number of state legislatures
have taken up the work and during
the next dozen years great changes
will be wrought as to the building and
maintenance of public highways.

Carlisle Defeats Minnesota.

Carlisle's team of Indians defeated
Minnesota at Northrop field on Satur-
day in one of the stiffest games of foot
ball played this season. The score
was II to 10. Both sides we're in
prime condition and battled hard for
supremacy, but the tactics of the red
men proved too much for the Mime
sotans: Carlisle's coach had utilized
every possibility of the. old tricks
combined with the new formations and
the forward pass was continually
called into play. And then again the
Indians take to football like "a duck
to water and develop with remark
able rapidity. It was lack Of devel-
opment which was largely responsible
for the Minnesotas losing to Chicago,
and their defeat at Saturdays game
is said to have been. partially attrib-
utable to the same cause. The Mime
sofa team has been most unfortunate
this year and Doc Williams will have

aggregation to redeem itself.
