ANOTHER ATTRACTION
FOR aLENwooD

The announcement that Glenwood
S next season to have one of the finest
country clubs in the country within
easy reach of the town should be a
source of congratulation to the people
of this city for it means another sub
stantial addition to the list of attrac-
tions to which this town can point az
combining to make it the greatest
summer resort this side of Cape Cod.
The way Glenwood has been delus
ed with visitors all summer, and is a.
present is tangible and conclusive evi-
denee of the fact that it's fame is be-
ing spread abroad, and an augury of
even greater popularity in coming sea
sons; but that is no reason why we
should not have still more attractions
and every project tending to bring
more people here or furnishing a
greater variety of pleasure to those
who come here, deserves all the en-
couragement that can be given.
A country club planned along the
lines of that Mr.. Allen of st. Louis pro
poses to make of the Thompson ranch
on Mitchell creek three miles west of
Glenwood will unquestionably prove
immensely popular among summer visi-
tors and as it will be open to the gen
eral public the project is of especial
interest to the people of Glenwood who
will also be able to make use of it as
place for outings.
The Post wishes Mr. Allen success.

WHAT MAKES AMERICA GROW

4 big business country must have
big business, and ours is the biggest
business country in the world, writes
Senator Beveridge in Leslie's Weekly.
Business depends upon the ease and
quiekness with which people can mingle
and trade together. To stop the growth
of business organizations is to stop the
growth of the country. If the steO
industry of the country were run by
the little concerns of fifty years ago
there would be only fraction of the
output of the peoples building and
transportation materials. If little shops
made all the agricultural implements,
as they once did, fully third of the
farmers of the United States could not
he supplied. Remember that as short
railroad lines handled by little com
panies have consolidated into single
systems, railway rates for freight and
passengers have steadily gone down.
Thirty years ago a man shipping
freight from St. Louis to New York
would have billed it over at least two
lines of road. If he Travelled from Omd'
ha to Boston he had to buy at least
three tickets and make three changes
of cars. Service is the test Of theories.
Shall we go backward or forward1
Again, the price of the raw materials
that go into wagons and agriculture
implements has increased, while the
price of wagons and agricultural i'm
plcments today are guaranteed. Poll

1.-THE THEOLOGY OF MONEY!

Another "Pastor militant" has en-
tered the field. The Rev. James D.
Rankin, of the First United Iresbyteii-
an church of Denver, sounds clarion
call for the swollen fortunes In ser
mon deliv I'D last Sunday morning,
under the above caption. while urging
that the power to accumulate large
amount of money does not imply the
necessity of Jail sentence, he wishes
it distinctly understood that he in No
wise gives the sanction of his cloth to
those predatory wretches who, having
gathered unto themselves n sufficient
crop of the long green, proceed tp
use the same for the debauchery of
the voter, and having corrupted that
great American institution, and once
safely installed in Office, then calmly
and dispassionately get strangle hold
on the municipal treasure to swell their
ill-gottcn gains. But that last phrase
is perhaps, inharmonious. We should
have said "God gotten.' 1t is at
least an interesting viewpoint of the
reverend gentleman, and calculated to
bring great comfort to the souls of our
great capitalists, who have been in the
habit of debating with themselves, jus.
how much their chances of Heaven
have deprecated in value, as their
bank accounts have expanded. Under
this new Interpretation of the gospel
of too much money we must look on our
millionaires with more reverence than
we have been accustomed They are not
the unhallowed pirates of trade, thai
scurrilous press and a perverted
public opinion have dubbed them. They
possess divine power, and the "taint-
ed money! is proved delusion and .
snare. 1t gives all men an incentive
to get out and see just how much loose
change they can coax their way, for
in that manner they can prove in what
degree they bask in the sunlight Of
Omnipotence. Hail, missionary in 3

THE FREE LIFE

A plea for the free and untrammel-
ed life of the farm is always command
atory of thoughtful perusal, when one
considers the congestion and conse-
quent submergence of identity, that
forms so appalling characteristic of
life in great city. 1t calls with add
ed strength, when voiced by q man
who has won all the success that is his,
risen to whatever heights he may have
attained, by struggling in the mael-
strom of New York. The following
then, should be read by all who are
prone to look with intolerant eyes 1t
the comparative stagnation of life in
the rural communities, forgetting the
fact but too often ignored, that the
rush and turmoil of great centers Of
population, while productive of many
Of our honored great, have none the
less persistent rival in the silent
places.
"When you get out where a man has

man. so that / do not think that ths
farmers need to be looked upon as de-
pendents of the state. They do not
come to the state government asking
aims. They are selfreliant, they are
intelligent. What we want in connec.
tion with agriculture is what we want
in connection with every other field of
noble effort.
We want training, we want intelli-
gence, we want scientific methods, we
want direction and the man can walk
in it. There is no reason why the same
care and attention and skill and scien-
tifc consideration should not be de-
voted to agriculture as to industry and
the technical trades.
''The men who are running away
from the farms too frequently make a
mistake, and some day in New York
and the day is rapidly approaching
our young men in larger numbers will
wake up to the fact that they have
pretty good chance on the farm and
that they may be to n greater degree

stay where their happy lots were cast

HuRRAH FOR TAMA JIM.

A government cabinet position is one
of great honor and trust, sought for by
some of the greatest men of our land,
not so much because of the emoluments
as because of the fitness of the man for
the place and often because of his de-
sire to accomplish some good along 4
particular line.
1t isn't an extremely difficult task
to find a good secretary of the interior
or desirable secretary of the navy or
a passable postmaster general but 10
get secretary of agriculture who i,
fit is not so easy.
The only cabinet officer in the his
tory of our country to serve three terms
in one place is now about to finish the
accomplishment of that feat. His name
is James Wilson, secretary of agri-
culture, and it is not at all unlikely
that he may beat his own record by
serving four years more.
Mr.. Wilson has ever been Jealous of
his department and ambitious for its
greatest success. He has watched and
cared for and nutured it as no one ever
did before him. He has seen this d.
partment grow from an almost dis
credited congressional seed distribu.-
ing bureau to the great and powerful

SANITARY RULES ON THE FARM

We hear a great deal about sani
tary regulations in the cities for keep
ing the inhabitans free from the con
taminating influence of disease of one
kind or another. City councils and city
boards of health are constantly con
fronted with the subject of better rules
and regulations, better laws for the
enforcement of better living amone
the people and better observance in a
general way, of the natural laws of
health. Besides the preventive quaran-
tine of homes where contagious or in
fectous disease is known to exist
there are health inspectors employed
to go round over the city to see that
streets, alleys and even the properties
on which the people live are kept m
sanitary and healthful condition, so
as not to become a menace to the gen
eral health of the citizens or the oc-
cupants of these homes.
Food inspection is now employed also
the cities. The meat store, the bak-
cries, the milk supply and adulterate1
food manufacture are all being look
ed after by expert employees in order
to protect the citizens from poisons and
MISUNDERSTANDING agencies. These
ohservances are recognized as right and
~. DIT
how is it on the farm? What are the
needs and requirements where there
are no health laws and regulations IN
force as in the case of the farm where
it is left to the family to regulate.
The disease breeding influence may
exist on the farm just as readily as in
the city, in its place of origin, but after
its development it has greater op-
portunity of spreading where the sur
roundings furnish more subjects for
attack
The cellar in the farm home resi-
dence is more frequently and to a
greater extent made the storage Of
fruits and vegetables than is the home
in the city The neglect of proper
ventilation and the constantly decay
ing tendency of such storage is made
the means of disease breeding of which
the family living over it gets the full
influence. The vegetable and fruit
cellar on the farm, separate from the

in the observance of sanitary regula-
tion on the farm. Pure water, free from
all communicating influence, piped di-
rectly into the residence is another
requisite to good health.
Then the sanitary management of
barn yards, stock lots, sheds and
stables for housing these animals, is
an observance that connot be too care
fully and persistently looked after.
1 This means double purpose, for the
health of the family and the health
