HURRYING COURSE OF NATURE.
Farm Life Brought Into Union Of
Cities and Towns.

The social conditions Of farm life
undoubtedly are deplorable in certain
parts of the country, and in other
parts far from ideal. and yet there
can be no doubt that in a considerable
section there has been notable i'm
provement This has been the result
in the main of three things; first, Of
the telephone; second, Of the trolley,
and third, of good roads. All three are
tending to make farm life less solitary
and to bring it into closer union with
the cities and towns. In other words,
some of the advantages Of town life
are being brought to the farms, and
this Is tending nightly to give to
farm life more refinement and COM
fort and communication with the
outer world. This Improvement which
has taken place in a part of the coun-
try ought to extend to all parts, and,
while in general it may be said that
it must Inevitably come about as a
result of a natural economic progress,
yet much may be gained by the ap-
pointment of the commission which
President Roosevelt has named

picturesque figures in the modern his
tory of the South Seas. His life has
been devoted to work in and for the

When he first visited the Gilbert Is

And gave its place and crowded higher,
While aye the shepherd minstrel blew
His pipe. and struck the gamut higher.
