THE UNHAPPY FARMER

Retired farmers tell us that moving
to town is not what it is cracked up
to be. The spring weather makes
them feel like going out into the
fields. Nothing to do and lots of
it.-York Teller.
Here and there in the world is a
person who can be happy doing moth
ing. There is seldom one who has
spent hall a lifetime in the active
life of the farm OF whom this can be
said. 1t is said that retired farm
ers seldom live long after their re-
tirement. Diyested of the stimulus
of work to be performed they droop
and die.
But what is the farmer to do? 1t
is true there Is no half way house
for him. A business man DESTROYS
of reducing the strain of labor, en-
ploys more help, leaves more to
trusted assistants and retains a
%leisurely oversight over the bust
ness. The farmer is not often able
to do this. Hired labor on the
farm does not pay well, as a rule,
and certainly not when left to itself,
1t seems to be the general view OF
farmers that they must either car
ry a full mans burden on the farm
or leave the farm.

lack of occupation, where is the
gain? Possibly the SUBURBAN acre

the blood of precious lives sacrificed
in order TO win that particular ex-

fore. that the awful tragedy of Sat

York and other cities to the danger
Of firetraps. The whole city is
stirred to it's center, and everybody
is demanding, that the authorities pro
vide adequately against the possi-
bility of another similar catastrophe.
Drastic regulations will be passed
and for a time at least enforced with
severity. And that is as it should
be. Human life is too precious to
be slaughtered indiscriminately, that
men may live carelessly and make
money. But why could not New

Notice

To the Citizens aud Voters of
School District No. Sc, Falls City,
Nebraska.
In view of the fact that the board
of education of Falls City is asking
you to vote bonds at the coming
election for the purpose OF supply
ing adequate school room, we deem
/, necessary to submit the following
facts for your consideration: In
connection with the superintendent
We have been discussing and study
ing the needs of the school for the
last year, and we heartily endorse
the statements made by Supt. Wood
through the various papers. Please
read his article and |aequaint yourselve
with the facts, and then vote your
convictions.
In regard to the financial conditions
OF the school district, we wish to say
that by June LIST, 1911, there will be
10 school warrants, outstanding and
before April 1872 every dollar of the
present outstanding school bonds will
be paid. Consequently when you
consider the assessed valuation of
the school district, it is easy to see
that the school levy need not be ex-
c~essive If the bonds are voted. Up
to 1921 only the interest must be
paid, and by that time no doubt, the
city's population will be at least five
thousand and the valuation OF the
district will be increased several hun
bred thousand dollars.
In regard to the location OF the
proposed building, or buildings, but
little has been said, but the beard
is unanimously in favor OF the senti-
ment which fayors the greatest good
for the greatest number

A few days ago in a certain num-
