of the foundation, are convinced that
in this movement lies the solution of
many of the most pressing problems
that confront modern society. And
now Mr.. Rockefeller, through his
foundation, is going to work with the
same keen business judgement which
has made him the richest man in the
world to get results in this way.
Mr.. Rockefeller's philanthrople aim
is stupendously broad, and you may
be sure that it will not miss anything
making for the material welfare of
the country. His career as business
man argues that. He would admit,
we're he asked, that he regards as
material what is the foundation upon
what civilization must rest. Educa-
tional and moral progress would halt
without 1t.
Among these problems none appeal
to MIR. Rockefeller with more force
than the one which is presented by
the slogan "back to the farm" The
farm is the primal source of wealth,
the support of all industries. But the
growing trouble in our country is that
the agricultural resources lack de-
velopment for the double reason that
too small a proportion of the popula-
ton turns to farming, and our meth
DDS, Notwithstanding the fact that
farming is coming to be regarded as
an exact science, do not develop the
full possibility of the land under cul
tivatiOn.
The foundation will solve the prob
lem of getting the man to the farm
in this way. broadly speaking: Steps
will be taken to find out just which
of the tenement jewellers in the city
have the possibilities in them of max
ing successful farmers. Such Of these
as care TO make the venture will be
financed; that is, they will be taken
to the farms and furnished with the
necessary supplies to make their
crops. 1t will be in no sense chart
ty, for those financed will be expected
to pay back into the foundation all
the money advanced, but on terms as
will not hamper them. Tie railroads
will cooperate in the movement. not
from humanitarian motives solely but
from thorough business standpoint
Every new farmer along the line of a
railroad makes business for the road,
both freight and passenger. Hence
the railroads will work in harmony
with this phase of the Rockefeller
foundation.

SHOOTS WHILE
BOAT SINKS
WEBSTER CITY HUNTER HAS THE
TIME OF HIS LIFE WAIT.
ING Fer HELP.

Webster City, April 21.-With only
his head and shoulders above water,
and standing in his boat which had
sunk to the bottom amidst clump OF
tall bulrushes a mile from shore,
Claude Richeson shot ducks with the
utmost nonchalance at Wall lake while
he waited couple of hours for some
Of his companions to find and rescue
him. He was chilled somewhat When
found, but the excitement due to the
excellent sport afforded, made him
oblivious t., any, ming else. He was
having the sport of his life and the
ducks lay thick on all sides of him.
He said IN speaking of 1t afterwards,
Guess I'll try that kind of blind
again; never had better shooting in
my life"
Had he stepped out of the BOAT he
would have sunk in the mira ana
gone under water; and his chances
Of swimming to shore were not vely
good.
1t all happene1 through Mr.. Richie
son going out alone in an ola boat
that had seen NO service for some
time and was not very seaworthy. The
SedmS Sdppeu. causing ZIG podt W
leak considerably, but Claude
thought it would do, so he put out to
the middle of the lake with the craft
to find good hunting ground. He
managed to get along for some time
by bailing out the water quite often
but later finding some pretty good
shooting he became lax in his bailing
operations and before he was aware
that the boat was full Of water it sank
beneath the surface. There was moth
ing. to do but stand still in the boat
and take his chance Of attracting
some of his companions to his relief.
He was so we'll hidden by the tall
reeds that grow in the lake that 1T
was with some difficulty that he was
finally located
