Thirdly.

A student undergoing examination
in the principles of mechanics was
asked:
Why will not a pin stand on it's
point?"
: He returned the following answer.
says Pearson's:
In the first place, a point is de-
fined by Euclid as that which has no
parts and no magnitude. and how can
pin stand on that which hath no
parts and no magnitude?
In the second place, a. pin will not
stand on its head, much less, there
fore, will it stand on its point
Thirdly, and lastly. it Will, if you
stick it in hard enough.

Brighter Side of Farm Life.

To Farmers Tribunc-Olivcr Wen
del Holmes says that Christianity is
full of sentiment, an das a rule scnti-
mcnt is healthy. The one great
charm of farm life lies in the fact
that being close to Nature, VIC never
get very far from God. This brings
us to consider another proposition
that OF culture. People there may be
who look upon farm life merely as
practical drudgery. in other words a
sure but hard way to make money.
1t has occurred to me that there can
be no real culture without kindness
in truth kindness may be said to be
the sum total of culture. Further
more, farm people can lay just claim
to nobility. There is less incentive
to dishonesty on the farm. and Alice
Cary says that he who is honest is
There is above the stress and strug-
gle on the farm, some other claim
for consideration than merely labor
and its resultant reward. there s a
real and enduring charm in farm life.
The farm needs no defense for i:<
existence is as old as the human farm.
lily. There probably never was or
never will be time when the farm
could not furnish to the world its full
quota of statesmen, warriors. artists
and poets. But it has and is new
setting the sanest standard of human
1t would be impossible to
have the welfare of so many of Gods
creatures in hand without developing
a shirt of kindness and helpfulness.
The farmer is a man of culture in
the very nature of things-it would
be hard for him to be otherwise.
There is more than mere satisfaction
in seeing things grow. There is the
that YOU have contributed
your best efforts to- have them attain
their fullest growth. And the kind
attitude towards dumb brute creation
is rewarded in the affection they
show towards you. Fancy hearing a
man calling his stock as though he
were speaking to children and ad-
dressing pleasant greeting to the
old Tom Cat. Yet it is done. and it
is this one touch OF nature that
makes the whole farm kin.
Kindness and helpfulncss is a pre-
dominating trait of farm life. We
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1909-09-17

know all about our fellow workers
their joys are our joys and their sor-
hows our very own. Thus people on
the farm enjoy closer and purer in:
timacy than is possible in town and
city life. Incidents innumerable can
be recalled of the helping hand that
the farmer lends his neighbor. Not
that this spirit is lacking in town
life-but 1t is more free and sponta-
neous in tho country.
The home joys Of farm life are
usually. as tranquil and sweet as the
clean waters Of the spring. The So
cial side of farm existence is not

reached the point where she felt she
could do justice to him in spite Of al his

"Send him to me when yoi want him

one morning. after her colleague had re-

About eleven o'clock Tommy appeared
at the first grade teachers door. She
dropped her work. seized him by the arm.

FOR GOOD ROADS.
Trans Consress Recon-
mends Building of Permanent
Highways,

lIRu"aVSs
Good roads are the hobby oi
Thomas F. Walsh of Denver. prcsi-
dent of the Transmississippi con-
gross, and in his address to the con-
gress which met in Denver last week
he presented strong arguments for
the building of permanent highways
by the federal government, with the
aid OF every state.
Mr.. Walsh said that the good roads
movement is the most important OF
all matters that came before the con-
grcss. He is an enthusiast in the ad-
vocacy of liberal appropriations by
the state legislatures for the building
OF permanent highways, and argues
that no other expenditure of public
funds is SO directly beneficial to the
state.
He has compiled statistics from the
sugar factories in Boulder, Weld and
Larimcr counties that show that the
beet growers of that portion of the
state lose at least 100000 annually
bccause of bad roads, and he points
out that the tonnage of .bccts is but
small portion of the total traffic in
that region, while the loss to the
farmers of the state at large must
amount to millions OF dollars every
year.
Mr.. Walsh. however. takes broader
grounds than the dollars-and-cents
argument in his advocacy of good
permanent highways. He believes
that good roads will be greater fac
tor in adding to the happiness. intel
ligcnce and prosperity OF the people
and will contribute more to their
moral and social elevation than any
thing else that the state can do for
them.
He holds that the disastrous in
crease in urban population with the
consequent abandonment of farms and
the increasing cost of living. is a di-
rect result of the poor roads of the
farming country, and he insists that
the creation of proper system of
built to endure and to be
forever in good condition, will cause
a movement back to the farms that
must result in vital economic chang
es, with benefit to all the people of
the nation. wherever they may live
, He holds that the prices of every
sack of flour is affected bv the con-
dition of tho roads as is the price of
every other farm product. and that
there can be no check to the advanc-
ing cost of living until good roads
shall exist in all agricultural dis
tricts.

OUR CHILDREN

each child owned an individual plot, in which vegetables were raised, the plot being attended to three times weekly, after school hours in the spring and fall, and in the mornings during vacation. About the middle of July, Marion came to me.
 Miss Bennett she said, "l am going to give up my garden.
 "Why, Marion" I exclaimed, what is the matter ?"
 Well, it's hot, and I'm tifed of it so I am going to leave"
 I argued with the child for some time, but without effect Two days later, how ever, she appeared with her class as usual.
 T am going to keep my garden she announced. My father says have to keep 1t. He says I entered this work of my own free will, planted my seeds, and now l must stay and care for my plants until the garden ends" And she reso- lutely set to work. When the season ended she said:
 .'I'ln glad I stayed I have seen the thing through
 Marion has been q successful oarde,e- now for four seasons. Under the evid- ance of wise father she has acquired perseverance and loyalty to work under taken. She has learned that when she voluntarily commits herself to a course ot action, she must accept certain re- responsibilities incident to that action. and that she cannot sllirls those responsi- bilities without forfeiting the esteem ol those whom she hoids dear.
