Twelfth Article.
The need of a more intimate knowi-
edge of farm life among those who are
leaders of the social life in the country,
was the main point of an address by
Prof. G. p. Holden of Iowa State Col
lege. Ames, Ia, at the conservation
congress. He also told what has been
accomplished by social corporation
among farmers. His address follows in
part:
No nation can long remain great
whose rural people oppressed. or
for any reason have degenerated 1t is
not that social life on the farm is bad
in the United States, for it is not, but
it can be greatly improved and in my
opinoin it is the greatest question be-
fore the nation today. When history is
written 1t will place foremost among
the many good things President Roose-
Welt did, the inaugurating Of the coun-
try life movement.
Just how is this work of lettering
country life to be worked out? In my
opinion 1t must be done largely by the
following agencies now in existence:
First. the church and allied organiza-
ton. such as the Y NJ. c. A, Boy Scouts
etc.
Second the schools.
Third, the grange, farmers clubs and
other organizations of the kind.
Fourth. the home itself.
The president has asked me to put
particular emphasis on the grange and
farmers clubs as a factor in the inn
provement OF the social life of the
farm. 1t is my opinion that one of the
most important steps in this great
forward movement steps in this great
forward movement. especially in the
corn belt. is the organization of oranges
and farmers clubs in every community.
There is need of tremendous awaken
ing to the Importance of organization
as a means of agricultural advance
ment. The effect of these organizations
on the community is most remarkable.
Men and women in such communities
grow up with strong attachments not
only for the business of farming and
home making, but for the people of the
community in which they live. They
remain on the farm instead of moving
into town or out of the state. These
organizations furnish exactly the social
and educational advantages so much
needed by the rural communities. They
enable young men and women to dis
cover themselves and their powers OF
usefulness to humanity.
Michigan has nearly 500 such organ
izations most of them oranges, with a
membership of 10000. In each of the

THE CIGARETTE SMOKER.
By EDWIN a. NYH.

Do you smoke cigarettes?
II you do you. need not read this
talk, because you will not believe what
l say, though 1 am not a crank.
Cigarettes are poison.
l say this not of myself. 1t is a
chemical fact that the burning OF to-
bacco and paper. together with saliva,
distills a subtle poison that in time
will undermine and wreck the strong
est constitution.
You do not believe it?
Then it Is because you do not want to
believe. The results of cigarette smok-
ing have been as carefully noted as
of typhoid fever. The rate of its prog
ress is as we'll attested. from its in
ception on through its different stages.
as that OF any other slow poison.
1t saps manhood
And, besides its effect upon the body.
which 1t tends to make inert and limp
and Intellectual. there is its effect upon
the mind.
The cigarette smoker is a paranoiac.
That is to say, he Is demented in so
far as his malady is concerned. He
entertains decisions concerning his
habit.
The poison muddles the brain.
Ii Is to be admitted that some persons
are able to withstand the effect of
cigarette poison longer than others.
And some nations, being more phleg-
matte, are less susceptible than others.
4 Russian, for instance. with his slug
gish nature Will be poisoned more slow
ly than the American.
Cigarettes ruin American nerves.
Our nervous Temperament and our
climate forbid the use of artificial slim
ulants. We are so fashioned that all
orr nervous force must be used to drive
our bodies and brains We are so
finely tempered that stimulants serve
only to excite.
Artificial stimulants take the spring
and snap out of the American temper.
We 70 to pieces rapidly enough with
out forcing.
And now
If you smoke cigarettes I have said
nothing that will change your opinion.
You either do not believe the deduc-
tons OF science or you fancy you are
immune.
(which is proof of my contention. You
are deluded by the habit.
