SOCIAL LIFE ON THE FARM
Movement of Farmers TO City Can Be
Materially Lessened by Making
Home More Beautiful.
(By c. r. BARNES.)

A beautiful home is a magnet which
needs only the additional centripetal
force of a richer social life to bind to
the farm the young life which now
flows In a steady current to the cities.
To the multiplication of such homes
| and the development of such richer
social life, then, the efforts of all gov
ernmental and educational agencies
may we'll be directed. An additional
incentive to such efforts is found in
| the fact that in rural society alone is
real American democracy now to be
found. Our cities have become ex-
! amples of social stratifcation-a
| plutocracy on top, the laborer on the
bottom; between them, strata distin-
guished by the possession of larger
or smaller incomes. Among the farm
born of individual independence.
There is not the wide difference in
pecuniary circumstances that is seen
in the city; and the superior wealth
of the large land owner is often more
than matched, so far as social infiu-
ence is concerned, by the superior edu-
cation or intelligence of his poorer
neighbor. All meet in the Farmers
club, as in church or school, on a
plane of perfect equality. This is a
condition to be especially appreciated
by women, who are invariably more
sensitive to social distinctions than
men.
The movement of farmers-now
"well-to-do" in the country accepta-
ton of the term-to the cities would
be materially lessened If they and
their wives fully realized the extent
and hatefulness of the social stratifica-
ton there to be met. The average In
come of such farmer Is not greater
than that of the well-paid city wage
Garner. be the latter mechanic or
clerk. Coming to the city, then, he
and his wife are at once "stratifed"
along with the city's hired men, and
their families. From the homes OF Che
alleged upper classes" they are smil-
ingly and informally, but effectively,
excluded. To a couple accustomed to
go with the best" in the country, this
reversion from democracy to class dis
tinctions is not little calling. Really,
had they chosen to cultivate more
freely the social instinct in their coun-
try homes, they would have found en-
joyments which they seek in vain in
the city.
The gospel Of the large, full life az
better than the long, full purse; of
broadened intellectual vision as better
than acres broadened beyond need; of
social contacts and culture as among
the pri necessities Of human ma
ture; and of woman's mission as
primarily one of ministry to these
needs, quite as much as to the physi-
cal wants of her family-this gospel
1t is, the preaching of which is to up
lift the country life of America, make
the farm attractive to those whom it
now repels, and preserve in our ma
ton the ideals of American democracy.

ECONOMIC SUBJECT
GIVEN A HEARING
Wisconsin Legislature viii Dis
CuSS Water Power.
TO RAISE JUDGES SALARY
Propose to Increase Pay Of Justices
of the State Supreme Court to
$1,000 and Retire Them on
Half Pay at the Age of 20.

Madison.-The Wisconsin legisla'
ture is in the throes of the discussion
OF water powers, forestry and drain
age-perhaps the most important
economic subject before that body.
The immediate bones Of contention
are the Husting-Krumrey bill regu-
lating the granting of water power
franchises and the proposal to estab-
lish fire patrol system and enlarge
the forest reserve in the northern
lake region, by leVying two-th1rds
of mill tax to cover the cost. This
tax, 1t is estimated, will bring about
100000 year.
Chief Forester e. NJ. Griffith opened
the hearing by an exhaustive explain
alton of the present forest policy Of
the state, as carried out under the d.
rection Of the state board of forestry.
He showed that in the twenty-five
northern counties there are approx
mately 100000 acres Of land imme-
diately affected by the proposed fire
protection system, and he explained
in detail how the patrol system pro-
posed is to operate.
The hearing on the water power
feature of the question was begun
with the Husting-Krumrey bill as the
basis for discussion. This measure
IS designed to repeal all existing
water power franchises except six,
which have been granted without a
reservation clause, and place the con-
troll Of all such franchises under the
railroad commission. 1t Is provided
that the commission shall fix the COM
pensation to be paid for the use of
water powers, these charges to range
from 10 cents to So per horsepower
per year, according to location and
advantage.
To raise the salaries of justices of
the state supreme court to $4,000 and
to retire them on half pay at the age
OF seventy, az commissioners" of the
court, are the purposes of two bills
introduced by Assemblyman Harper
Another appropriates $4,000 for an
Investigation by the state board of
control to devise some means for
caring for and alleviating the condi-
ton of INDECENT crippled children, and
a fourth permits towns to open and
close the polls on election days at
the same hours as do cities, If they
SO prefer.

IMPROVEMENT
llss,lSkT J DksMAeI ON
CARRIER TO HANDLE MANURE
Farmers VIII Find Them OF Great
Convenience in Many Ways-Not
Hard to Construct.
(By Anton Wagner.)


Farmers will find a manure and lit
ter carrier a great convenience. II
consists of a small wire rope elevat
ed to any distance desired, and of
any length, the outer end being plac-
ed over a pole and then firmly staked
to the ground.
The supporting pole ought to be
braced on three sides to prevent it
from swaying. The box may be as
large as desired, but the average
size will hold about six bushels.
The end of the track in the barn
should be about a foot higher than at
the outside end, so that when the car
is loaded it may be pushed out and
run down the incline by it's own
weight
A manure spreader may be station
ed under the wire rope, and If the
box is fastened to the carrier by bolts
through it's sides it can be dumped
In fifty, and a vigorous push will
send it back to the barn.
This carrier may be utilized in

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF
PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS

A speedy and economical treatment
for disfguring pimples is the follow
ing: Gently smear the face with Cuti.
cura Ointment, but do not rub. Wash
off the ointment in five minutes with
Cuticura Soap and hot water and
battle freely for some minutes. Re-
peat morning and evening. At other
times use hot water and Cuticura
Soap for bathing the face as often as
agreeable. Cuticura soap and oint-
ment are equally successful for itch
ing. burning, scaly and crusted hui
mors of the skin and scalp, with loss
of hair, from infancy to age, usually
affording instant relief, when all else
fails. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.
Corp, Boston, Mass, for the latest
Cuticura book on the care and treat
ment of the skin and scalp.

Fire Patrol System Opposed by Many

r Ire PdLFOI system OPPOocO W "oHy
One Of the surprising features
Of the present hearings on the
forestry and water power questions is
the antagonistic spirit displayed by
many northern members toward the
proposal to establish fire patrol sys-
tenn in the northern counties of the
state.
Chief Forester e. M. Griffith has
stood in front of the joint committee
of the whole, submitting to a battery
Of questions by various solons who
are peculiarly interested In the sub
iect. Most of these questions indi-
Gated an unusually strong prejudice
against the proposal to charge back
against the counties protected their
proportion of the cost. Few, in fact,
seem to comprehend the bill, and
most of them apparently are opposed
to the proposition to build up forest
reserve. Speech after speech was
made against taking preventive meas
ures, most of the directors maintain
ing that prevention is impossible, no
matter how many men are employed.
In vain did Mr.. Griffith cite the fact
that In the German Black Forest the
total loss last year was less than
900 acres and that it was equally
possible to cut down the loss in Wis
consin by cutting forest lands into
"blocks," with the immense number
of lakes, rivers and roads as fire
lines.
Axel Johnson of Turtle Lake, for
instance, thought the question was
simply whether the northern part Of
the state should be left a sports
mans paradise" or whether the coun-
try should be opened for settlers.
The southern members, however,
listened with unconcealed amusement
to the protests Of their brethren from
the north.
The discussion was resumed on the
water power bills, with Senator
Husting and Krumrey on the firing
line.
