opment to that end as the interiors.
A home in the country would con-
sist materially of a substantial
house, built according to simple and
dignified lines; of furnishings, solid
and plain, being what they seem; of
running water in kitchen and bath
room, of an adequate heating plant,
of air free from the heavy smells of
stable, fowl yard, and sty; of books
to read, and a daily paper; Of
buildings so grouped as to make the
work light as possible, and yet keep
the dwelling, in its setting of gar
den and lawn, a place apart from
the days work.
All this is not much to have. Yet
in Pennsylvania it is often sacrificed
for barn three times as large as
the house; in New England for half
an acre more of land to till; in the
Middle West for more time TO put
on crops; in our own Middle At
laEtic States for any of these causes
or all of them put together.
The day of this disregard of the
farmers home is passing The
young people who remain on farms
these early century years are doing
so either because they prefer coun-
Try to city or because they cannot
leave the one for the other. In
either case the disposition is to make
farm life as attractive as possible,
and with that purpose these young
people will group their farm build
ings with the home as the center,
and its interests as the chief CON
sideration.
We shall never reach that situa-
ton where the majority of ourfarms
will compare favorably with Mt.
Vernon or Mt. Airy. That would be
like having all our merchants own
department stores. But we shall
surely pass out os that attitude Of
mind which makes the farmers
home a second thought, and we
shall come TO bind together farm
buildings, flower ga-5Aqs, trees,
drives, and lawns into a frame for
the very focus of all the labor we
spend upon the soil.

A Striking Side Issue.

One Of the important side issues
in Republican politics is the future
of Governor Hughes. 1t was from
the first generally assumed that he
could not be nominated for Presi-
dent. He said positively that he
would not take second place on the
national ticket. He said a long time
ago that he had no desire to be gov
ernor again. If he cannot be Presi-
dent, then, evidently, he wants to
be a private citizen once more. 1t
is this attitude which has begun 70
worry the Republican politicians.
Some of the governors bitterest
opponents within the party lines
have said that since his racetrack
reform legislation went through he
has no excuse to remain at Albany.
These mon would get rid of him at
all costs. But the cooler heads are
owbeginning TO realize that Hughes
has remarkable popular strength,
and that to drop him out Of politics
altogether this year would en-
danger the success of the national
ticket. So they would like to have
him run for governor again A dis
patch from Albany says:
The Democrats on their side will
name Lieutenant Governor ChaDleT,
who IS popular with all factions. is
clean, and has a good record. No in
dependent can hesitate about voting for
Chanler. save where a better man is
nominated snd Hughes is better, be-
cause he has an affirmative record,
which Cnanler has not yet had the
chance to make.
Locally, the belief exists that Hughes
IS the only Republican who can beat
Chanler. For Hughes alone can retain
in the Republican c0iumn the votes Of
the thousands of men Who are IN revolt
against the boss domination, the meth
DDS that Hughes has exposed and
fought To refuse TO nominate Hughes.
4 he consents, would, for this reason,
be suicidal Everyone comedies this,
yet the politicians cling 70 the hope he
viii have had enough"

Grouping Farm Buildings.

Two economists use a bulletin of
he Michigan State Agricultural Col
eye to discuss the grouping of farm
Buildings. Their view of the sub
ect is unitarian. As they see it,
buildings are either grouped to
'orm an unbroken line or square. or
hey are placed promiscuously with
,ut any definite relation to one to
neither" Wherefore, being prac-
6ca, men, and writing for practical
armers, these authors present the
advantages of a studied plan-so
hat, as in New England, the farmer
nay pass from one to another with
nut going out of doors, or the barns
nay form a square for the shelter of
workers and materials, or the build
ngs may be so placed that if one
burns the others Will not catch fire.
Presumably the function of a
arm bulletin stopped there. Yet it
hard to understand how econo-
nists, men with brains trained to
leal with the science of living under
iven conditions, could have come
o near to great problem and yet
ltogether disregard it. Here in
AMERICA our farmers do not need
lelp alone to make their labor
profitable. They need IL also to
bake their home life BEAUTIFULLY at
ractive. And the externals of their
zones are capable Of as much devel-
