In short, it became plain that two
streams of tendency were flowing
to junction. On one hand there was
disposition on the part of the in
surrectos to open negotiations with
representatives of the Mexican admin
istration here; on the other there
was a growing understanding between
the Mexican government and the

One of the most convenient and
modern farmhouses of moderate cost
the writer has seen is owned by a
| farmer in Ohio. 1t is comfortable
and handsome, and the farmer and
his family enjoy practically all of the
advantages that are to be found in
city homes. The house has few an
giles and corners and it may be built
at an approximate cost of $4,000 to
$4,000, and contain many of the i'm
provements essential to comfort, util-
ity and beauty.
The main or front part of the house
is 2S feet square and the kitchen and
pantry 14x20 feet. The lower story is
8 feet high and the second story s
feet 6 inches. The exterior walls
are covered with shiplap and lap sid
ing with building paper between. The
roofs are covered with best grade of
to 2 cedar shingles, that is, five of
the shingles, when placed together,
will measure practically 2 inches at
the thick ends. These shingles will
cost slightly more, but they will also
last about three times as long as the
S to shingles.
All interior side walls and ceilings
receive three coats of plaster with
white finish. All floors are quarter
sawed yellow pine. The trim for din
ing-room, living-room. hall and IL
brary is of birch with mahogany
stain. The kitchen and pantry has
hard pine trim with oil finish.
Entire second floor has pine trim
with fiat tints except bathroom, which
has enamel finish.

RACE SUICIDE
AMONG FARMERS
Decline in Population Shown by
Last Census In A T ic II 1tur al
Areas Due to DISCOURAGE
ment of Married Workers.


The pitiful story was told recently
in northern daily paper of an in
dustrious and capable farm laborer
who had answered several advertise
ments of farmers in need of just such
experienced services as he was able
to render; but whose application was
rejected, in each instance, because he
had a wife and two small children.
The farmers wanted neither women
nor children about their farms. So
this competent farm worker was
obliged to accept employment in a
city stable
1t is to be feared that this is by no
means an isolated instance. Human
kindness has been so far eliminated,
in many cases, from the relationship
between the farmer and his hired
help, and that relationship has been
put so exclusively on a hard business
basis, that the complaint is common
that "the farmer cares more for the
comfort and happiness of his cattle
and hogs than he does for the we'll
being of his men,"
Under healthier conditions In rural
life. the married workman would re-
ceive the same preference that he
generally does from employers in
mercantile and manufacturing pur-
suits; as being more reliable and less
likely to seek change, if fairly well
treated. than the single man. Aside
from this, however, there is a moral
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1911-04-13

and social obligation. resting at least
as strongly on the farmer as on any
one else, to encourage family life
among workers, and thus to promote
stability in rural populations and to
discourage the nomadism among la
borers which is the bane of our agri-
cultural enterprises.
1t is altogether probable that the
actual decline in population, shown
by the last census to have taken
place in extensive agricultural areas,
is due to the encouragement of mar
riage among farm workers, and the
refusal Of employment to men with
families.
That way lies the decline of states
and the ruin Of democracy. If we
want growth in population, and the
perfect working out of the Demo-
cratic ideas underlying American in
stitutions, we must reverse our meth
DDS, welcome rather than repel the
man with family, and be willing to
share with him some portion of the
opportunities of the farm.

lighting plant may be installed at Q
cost of 1915.
AS both the heating and lighting
plants are entirely safe, easy to oper
ate and the expense of running them
less than the cost of operating or us
ing oil lamps and stoves, it would
seem that their use would pay, to say
nothing of the added comfort and
pleasure derived from them.
The furnace will without doubt pre-.
vent much sickness if the fresh air
shaft is properly installed, and the
gas lights will save the housewife

The cellar has an inside entrance
under the main stairway, also an out
side entrance.
Root cellar. front room, ETC., are
provided in the basement.
The pantry is so located that 1t pre-
vents the heat from entering the din

and contains china closet with doors
opening to dining-room, cupboard,

All rooms are of good size well
lighted, and ample closet room is pro-
vided; also a good-sized linen closet.

One after another, as little stone bot

all was forgiven. Together they start

would fleece the stranger within their
gates hand in hand, as beloved breth-
rem should. Then, just by the bridge
near the hotel-the untidy bridge
where the trans meet-Tomora turned
like wolf and suddenly shot Kasaku
in the neck and body-shot with un-

but was there not supreme and cruel
treachery in spending his last hours
