work in spirit of cooperation OF
all back to the farm and country
life movements.
The committee adopted a reso-
luton, indorsing the bill now before
Congress, asking that sum equal
to one mill an acre of agricultural
land in each state be appropriated,
and. that the money realized be
used in sending out successful far
mers and practical demonstrators
to aid the farmers in increasing the
efficiency of their farms. The bill
provides for adding one mill an acre
each year for 10 years after 1918,
the money to be spent, and the
work conducted through the agri-
cultural colleges, normal schools
and experiment stations Of the
various states.

The banker and merchant can best
appreciate the situation because
they continually feel the pulse Of
trade and supply the credit which
is SO directly affected by these con-
ditions.
Mr.. Wiley also said that 100 years
ago 80 per cent of worlds popula-
ton lived on farms and that today
only 80 per cent is engaged in agri-
culture, although the worlds popu-
lation has practically doubled. He
suggested as a remedy the CONSOLE
dation of rural Schools insuring
better primary and secondary edu-
cation; the adoption of course in
all public schools training the hand
as well as the brain and the teach
ing of manual training, domestic
science and agriculture and elective
industrial courses.

By EayiAnakrson, 9th Grade

Long ago near Xmas in the year of
"a, when men were roaming all over
the far sonth, some with leaders and
some without, life was uncertain be-
cause Of wars pitiless hand. A small
body of men with their leader were sta
toned on the outskirts of small wood
land. The men were hungry and al
most starved, for rations were scarce.
Their clothes were ragged. They had
been on a long march before reaching
this place, a march through rain, sleet,
and snow, when their feet were frozen
so firmly to their stirrups that it
was with difficulty they were removed.
But these were brave soldiers and they
were becoming hardened to it, for had
not this pitiless war been raging for
many years? After good warm fire
had thawed them out, the gnawing in
their vitals reminded them that they
were mortals yet; and mortals want to
be fed. But where were they to get
that with which to satisfy the inner
man?
Two boys, (for they were little
more than boys) who had been neigh
bors and chums in the dear old sunny
Tennessee home, begged their leader
that they might 60 out and snare some
game for their Xmas dinner. Permis-

sion was given them. They were no
allowed to shoot unless at an enemy.
They went long way when they
came to the end of the woods. There
before them stood a big white house.
They saw a large turkey gobbler rum
ming about among the weeds and
stumps. One of the boys was trying
to catch it and, to their surprise, they
saw gun-barrel pointed at them from
behind a stump. The boy that was
trying to catch the turkey did not see
it. The other boy said," Look out!"
He turned his head. Just then the gun
fired, missing his head about an inch
and stunning him for an instant. The
man, after firing, started on a, run Tor
the house where some women were
standing on the porch waiting for him;
but he never got there for the fellow
that shouted ''look out" drew bead on
him and dropped him in his tracks. 80
the turkey escaped and their Xmas an
ner was light one.
Now this is true story for the boy
that came so near being killed was my
grandfather. He often told this story
to my father and always had the great
est friendship for Bill Smith, the COM
rade who shouted, /" Look out JUST -
time to save his life.

THE most alarming thing in our
educational system is that while our
boys and girls are obtaining an ed
ucation they are not preparing for
anything for which they are fitted:
they are not fitteG for any special
line of work or even for the ordi-
nary vacations of life. "
G. P. Wiley Of the Waterville,
wash, ) Savings bank, who was
the principal speaker at an execu-
tive session of the agricultural and
educational committee of the Wash
ington State Bankers association in
Spokane on November 25, thus en-
phasized the need of redirection in
the public schools of the country.
Continuing, Mr.. Wiley said among
other things:
I'm some way the boys are imbued
with the idea that they must not do
manual labor, but must have a white
collar job. Those who take part
or all of college course are imbued
with the same idea. And it looked
for a time as if our farms would have
to be abandoned because our boys
would not undertake to farm them.
The result is there are not enough
competent men to fill the demands
of skilled labor, even at the highest
wage.
A great awakening has come and
now the entire country is studying
the why and wherefore. 1t has
been found that our schools are
turning out every year an army OF
consumers and very few producers
and that while the progressive coun-
tries of the world by intelligent,
practical, scientific a gri C u ltur a
methods have, during the last II
years, increased the production Of
their farms from SO to SO per cent
American farms as a whole have
actually decreased in their acre pro.
duction during the same period.
