Diaz, third, and his brothers. husky little
fellows dressed in sailor suits, played ball
on the side gallery.
At 1880 a. m. a hum arose within the
house. The group OF ofhcia1s at the door
parted and Diaz stepped, bareheaded, into
the sunlight. He wore thin frock coat
and carried an old Panama hat In his
hand. His face. brown and rugged. was
unmarked by emotion when he first
stepped with firm tread to the patch Of
sunlight on the steps.
An erratic wind from the Gulf lifted
the tuft OF thin white hair from his fore
head. When the former President ap-
peared every back stiffened, every In.
dian face became set in fixed look that
betrayed the mastering Of emotions. An
order was shouted and every gun came
up to present. each oficer raised the hilt
OF his sword to his chin with giinting
blade aioft. the men at the machine guns
lifted their palms In salute.
There was no fanfare OF trumpets; Just

THE FARMERS WIFE

1t Is pleasant to find that an agri-
cultural newspaper turning at last
from the purely utilitarian phrase of
the motor-car-on-the-farm question
and considering, it If even merely in
passing manner, from the stand
point of the comfort of the farmers
wife. Defending those farmers who
have borrowed money at the bank in
order to provide themselves with auto
mobiles, the publication takes the
position that If the invention of the
motor car does not bring greater bene-
fits to the farmer than to any one else
1t will be case of an invention gone
wrong "Of all men," it says, "the
farmer needs the automobile most.
He needs to be able to slip into town
and back while the men rest at noon.
He needs means of having chat
with the man In the next county, af-
ter the chores are done at night. He
needs a method of getting into touch
with every other farm within a radius
Of hundred miles. Above all, he
needs 1t for his lonely wife,"
The farmers wife has not in the
past received the attention to which
she is entitled, either for purely
economic or purely sentimental rea-
sons. Home life on tho American
farm ragardad oo q ooosaI nrnnocitioo
has not been in the past attractive to
women, and as much for this as for
any other reason, 1t has not been as
attractive as 1t should have been to
men. AS a matter Of fact, the entire
question Of keeping the people close
to the soil hinges on the ability of
present-day society to make home
life on the farm as desirable as home
life In town or city. .
1t has been the isolation of farm
life for the wives and daughters of
/ the farm household that has given
year by year increasing impulse to
the city trend. What the farmers son
has seen of the home life of mother
and sisters he has wished not, as a
rule, to have repeated In the case of
wife and daughters. Therefore, at
his first opportunity he has left the
farm for the city, and 1t has often
been the case that his sister has fol-
lowed his example.
All this, however, was truer twenty
five years ago than 1t is today The
social face of the country has been
changed In recent years by the in
PRODUCTION of the telephone, the rural
free delivery system, the yinterurban
trolley car and the automobile. -
These conveniences are not beyond
the reach OF the modern well-to-do
American agriculturist of today, and
their possession is doing much toward
stemming the city-ward tide. Not on
ly do they serve to make neighbor-
hood life In the country more attract
i've socially, but they make accessible
to the farmers family practically ev-
erytbing that the town and city have
to offer In the way of entertainment
