Rural Life.

An interesting rural-life confer
ence was held last month in Iowa
at Ames. A wise college professor
took the lead. His solution for the
rural life problem was better
schools, churches and rural organi-
cations" and this tidy platitude was
duly reported as the keynote of
the conference" What a particu-
larly vigorous strike-you-with.a-
feather sort of rural-life conference
that particular rural-life conference
must have been! But hold The
same report tells of other speeches
one or two of which must have
made the keynote" sound like a
jewsharp in a thunder storm, Here
is an extract from one, that of the
Rev. Clair S. Adams, who told what
he had learned from personal in
vestigation of AZ country communi-
ties in central Illinois: In the rich
districts where land sold for $3.50 to
$3.50 per acre he found that SIS per
cent Of the land was farmed by ten
Monroe City Democrat., 1911-07-20

ants, only Sc per cent of whom
held leases for periods of five years
or more" Whether Mr.. Adams
drew the obvious inference does not
appear in the report. Somewhere
in the back or front of his head,
however, he must have held it in
solution; for he explained that coun-
try life is not attractive in most of
those neighborhoOds, that the aver
age school year for boy and girl is
only SO days, that teachers get but
$35 to $40 per month, and are in
efficient accordingly, and so on.
Isn't it plain what that contrast
means that contrast of high land
values and low social life? In all
history it has meant just one thing
and that is what it means in cen
tral Illinois to-day, namely, that
high land values tend to lower the
tone of rural by substituting a de-
peRdent tenantry for independent
working farmers. Nor is central
Illinois unique in this respect. With
Mr.. Adams local observations for

The Small Boy and IFS Hal.

He filings his hat across the din
ing room when he comes in from
school, or ltaves it in all manner of
places in the house; in the coal bin
or OH sisters bureau. He loses it
just at church time, and spoils the
spirit of family reverence and piety.
AS the family enters the church
the anthem is being sung, and the
disgrace of being late again is laid
on the innocent headpiece clutched
in the hand of the small boy, who
has already forgotten the confusion
OF which he was the cause 20 min
utes ago. In this stage also ones
hat is removed on the wav TO

friend, passed down the line of sur

Say, did you ever think of what

ATTORNEY UNDER KNIFE
CASE POSTPONED
Gary Lawyer Taken With
Appendicitis on Eve of
Important Lawsuit.


The Gary payroll cases may not come
up Monday in Judge Johannes
Kopelke's court after all. Caldwell
telephoned to his attorneys, Mcmahon
& Conroy, and informed them that he
was taken with an attack OF ap-
pendicitis and would be compelled to go
TO the hospital to be operated on.
This means that the Caldwell case
viii be indefinitely postponed and that
other criminal cases will have to be
taken up. The fact that notice was
received today that the case will be
postponed will give the attorneys in
other criminal cases a chance to pre-
pare for trial.
Assistant States Attorney Ross said
today: "McMahon & Conroy say that
Caldwell Is unable to appear for trial
and that he is in the hospital where
he expects to undergo an operation.
This does not necessarily mean the
trial of the case will be postponed. We
will expect the attorneys for the de-
fendant to appear in court and make a
showing on this proposition
we will not take their word that
the defendant is sick but will require
that they exhibit a doctors certificate
showing that the defendant is unable
to appear for trial before we will grant

Especial to THE TIMEs.)

East Chicago, April 2s.-East Chi
cago has now a woman lawyer in the
person of Mrs. G. w Miller. wife of DR.
Miller. and the doctor himself has de-
fected from his medical pursuits suffi-
ciently to be admitted to the bar. Both
DIR. and Mrs. Miller received their docu-
ments which entft1e them to practice
law in the state of Indiana, last Tues
day at Crown Point. They both passed
a very creditable examination before
a committee appointed by Judge Nc
Mahan and composed of J. Frank
Meeker of Grown Point, NJ. J. Smith of
Crown Point and j. A Skunk of East
Chicago.
DR.. and Mrs. Miller took their course
three year one. with the Chicago Cor
respondence school of Law and both
passed the examinations without a
single error. For the three year course
Mrs. Millers percentage was s6 3-s
while the doctors percentage was
95 1-2
MIR. Miller does not by any means in
tend to desert his\ present profession
for while, but sooner or later he in
tends to devote his life to the practice
of law. When he opens an Office for
this purpose. Mrs. Miller will be his
office partner
Mrs Miller and her husband have
been more or less partners in a pro-
fessional sense all through their mar
ried life. Mrs. Miller who was at one
time a school teacher. gave up this
work to become trained nurse. Her
knowledge in this line has been of
much assistance to DR. Miller as a pny-
sician.
1t is DR.. Miller's intention when he
enters the legal profession seriously.
to make speciality of medical juris-
prudence.
1t is understood that Mrs. Miller is
only the second woman to have been
admitted to the bar in Lake county.
Mrs. J. Frank Meeker. wife of the
county attorney, was admitted with her
husband seventeen years ago.
