In loving remembrance of Mr.. Til
ford w. Ashford, who died May &c,
1909:
"The Mourners."
Alas, that building is old and worn.
The echoes in it seem to mourn
The loss of one. whom God did take:
He left on earth, those hearts to
ache
But those who were left to mourn his
loss,
have many a dale and hill to cross:
But God did layeth them to rest
and God, he bringeth all things
best.
And some day, IN that land, so sweet,
When our beloved we shall meet;
And by our loving Fathers grace,
Well forever have a resting place.
Written by Eunice Ashford.

That proper ventilation in factories

illustrated in the case Of firm OF

have been obtained from four years

The amount of business made was
doubled. wages increased 30 per cent,
by cutting out contingent help the
number of employees was reduced ~
per cent. the absences on account OF
sickness were reduced one-third. To
the firm this meant that 400 employees
did 30 per cent more work In one year
than was accomplished by DO employ
ees IN a similar period four years pre-
yious. To tie workers il meant that
43O OF them earned in twelve months

Magazine REVIEW.
Robbers of the Soil.

An Iowa farm of something more than
eighty acres passed into the hands OF
city man on mortgage. He rented
it and for the first two or three years
the returns were satisfactory, Then he
found the dwellings and outbuildings
needed repairs which took back some Of
the profits lie held the land nine years
and in that time had six tenants, the
last of which harvested crop OF corn
that barely was enough to feed his team
and pay his own family expenses for
the year.
The land was in a community where
values ranged around Sl25 an acre but
it cost the owner onl yabout $4,000 I'M
der the mortgage As near as he could
estimate his income from the land for
the nine years was about $4,000, from
which was deducted repairs, taxes, new
fencing and other incidentals aggTegat.
ing about 81 200 This left him a net
income of about $500 Then he tried
to sell the land. Many buyers looked
but none bought. They wanted no
"eorned ont" land, they said. Finally
along came young farmer who took
it off his hands for $4,000. That left
the first man a net income OF 5000 on
his $4,000 investment for nine years.
The greatest agricultural evil OF the
present day is the tenant farmer. This
statement is made by President Henry
j. Waters of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. The tenant farmer, he
declares, is the highwayman OF the soil;
collectively, a yandal horde that has
marched from Maine TO the Missouri,
laying waste an agricultural empire
with the fire of its greed and the sword
of its ignorance. His advance guard al
ready is thrown beyond the Big Muddy.
Give him time and he win overwhelm
the West as he has the East.
The tenant farmer President Waters
says, is the ruination of the country and
the menace of the city. He has left in
his wake impoverished land, abandoned
farms and train of economic evils that
must soon be remedied or grave conse-
quences viii follow. The tenant farm
er is the man who is chiefly responsible
for the increased cost Of living, he il
the man who has caused American eX-
ports to fall off 200 million dollars in
three years. He is the man who has
reduced our farming area, forced the
price of productive land to an abnormal
height. and sent droves of sturdy young
farmers beyond our borders to the North,
President Waters has been inyestigat-
ing the tenant farmer for long time
and he knows his subject, but nothing
good of him. He speaks now of the
tenant who doesn't farm but merely
skins the soil, not the real tenant farm
er-the small ten per cent. or so Of
hustling, ambitious young men, long on
industry and short on cash, who rent
only until they have saved enough to
buy farm of their own He speaks Of
the other ninety per cent. the .migra
tory agricultural yagabonds who follow
in the wake Of the homeseeker and the
homemaker, leaving blight and desola-

BIG BLOWERS LIVE LONG.
Playing Wind instruments Doesn't
Tend to Shorten Life.

Ailments Of the heart and lungs nave
been frequently attributed by patholo-
gists and others to the blowing OF
wind instruments. II has even been
asserted, without any definite founda'
ton In fact, that the cornet. from
bone or oboe player is blowing ms
lungs away" and will die before MS

DR.. Forchelmer In his "Prophyiaxis
and Treatment OF International Dis
eases" shows the fallacy OF this beiler.
He states emphatically that Just as
many players of stringed instruments
have emphysema as players OF wind

conclusion that neither emphysema
nor its predisposition is result OF
