EnoIand's Next Great Political Battle

EnoIands Next Great Political Battle
Clarence Poe in Progressive Farmer.
Unless all signs fail, England's next
great political battle will be over the
question of land reform. Liberals,
Conservatives, and labor leaders alike
admit that the time has come when
something must be done. The land
lords themselves know that their da>
Is over and that their only hope is
to make terms with the nation which
has set its face against the ancient
system. 1t seems now that the Union
list or Conservative Party, the party
of wealth to which most OF the land
ords belong, will advocate doing for
England about what has been done IN
Ireland. A wellknown Conservative
member of parliament told me yester-
day that this is what he favors, ana
the programme he expects his party TO
advocate, involving, I should say, the
appropriation Of an enormous sum,
probably several hundred million dol
lars, to be lent to tenants wishing to
buy small tracts, the money to be
paid somewhat as follows, say five or
six per cent a year, for a period OF
sixty years to cover interest and sink
ing fund, the land becoming the prop
erty of the purchaser at the end of
the period. Sir Edward Holden, chair

Girl Who Speaks Eight Languages

In the department in the October Wo-
mans Home Companion, which Is
devoted to short biographies Of re-
markable people, appears an article
about Winifred Stoner, nine year old
girl living in Pittsburg, who knows
eight languages. Following Is an ex-
tract:
Every little while Pittsburg news

er to talk about her little daughter,
Winifred. Hasn't Winifred written a
new book they ask, or learned an
other language, or painted a new pic

fred has done one or all these things;
for, at the age Of nine, this little girl

les, and modelling in clay, yet remains

of all her accomplishments. Perhaps 1t
was because her mother lulled her to
sleep by chanting Latin hymns that
Baby Winifred was able to scan Vergil
when fourteen months old. But, though
Mrs. Stoner insists that her daughter
Is no genius, just an ordinary healthy
child she must really have been a
fairly bright baby to speak distinctly
when six months old, and to recite
Tennyson's Crossing the Bar and that
with feeling and emotion at the ma
ture age of one year. Before she could
read she had learned more from pic
lures than most children absorb from
textbooks in the primary schools; and
in playing with her dolls-more than
hundred there were, all properly cos
tumed-she gained first vivid knowl-
edge of Bible lore, mythology, ancient
history, and the characters Of Shakes
peare's plays. They introduced her to
the typewriter when she was three.
| She was fascinated by this new toy,
and in playing with 1t not only easily
learned to spell, but also made ad-
vances in the field Of classic literature
by copying various selections in prose
and verse. Through her typewriter
keyboard she also learned Esperanto,
and won a gold medal for poem In
that international language At five
she published her first book,-a trans
lation Of Mother Goose into Esperanto,
and at six issued her first volume Of
original verse. Her later and better
verses are to be collected and publish

Of feeding, a few wren families would
put a decided check upon local insect
damage.
One day a heavy fog prevailed, and
this day the babies went on less than
half ration, despite the activity Of the
little mother. For some years I car
ried the erroneous conclusion that the
fog prevented the mother from seeing,
but in all probability it was because
flying insects were under cover. Any
how, one foggy, misty day at my cabin
in the mountains I watched a wren
and not single flying insect came to
the babies this day except some files
that were caught inside my cabin. The
scanty food of this day consisted Of a
few flies and a number Of grubs and
larvae 1 could not identify. The young
sters went hungry. Despite this, each
bird twice refused to swallow q black
beetle the identity Of which was un-
determined; and once each, in turn,
refused a brown beetle, much to the
bewilderment Of the little mother, who
stayed by the nest for a number Of
seconds, holding 1t in her bill. At last
she left 1t on the edge Of the nest, but
it was never eaten. This was the first
instance had known Of youngsters re-
fusing to eat anything that the mother
brought. At this time these young
sters were about three-fourths grown.
We need more birds; 1t will pay to
have more. We can have more by dis
couraging and preventing so much
shooting; by keeping groves, thickets
and bits of swamp for home and har-
Dor; by needing their needs for food
and water; and by encouraging race
suicide among cats. Bad boys who kill
birds and rob nests-and good women
who wear feathers on their hats-are
a serious menace to bird life. Saving
birds or increasing the bird population
is a matter of education and ethics.
The government now has about sixty
bird reserves; there are a number Of
state reserves and many private ones.
Then, too, there are places in seven
states where birds are being bred; and
there are discussions going on con-
cerning national and international bird
laws. However, the great Audubon
society is regarded, at least by Big
Business, as an outcast; and Of the
thousands Of high school graduates Of
1912 how few realize that birds are
one of the assets of the land! I like
to hope that the time is near when the
general domestication Of birds will be-

The Age Of Conerete.-At present a
comparatively new material is push
ing its way into popularity; and that
for an infinitude Of uses. Portland ce-
ment, as it was first called, was first
made known to the world about 1924
at Portland, England, where 1t was first
manufactured, and came into favor
able notice in connection with subma-
rine construction where ordinary stone
work had utterly failed. 1t was not
until 1895, however, that it was man
ufactured in the United States, and it
was only within the last decade that
it has begun to supplant brick and
stone as building material. Made by
the calcination Of mari, clay, Stag and
other materials, 1t absorbs water freely
and is mixed with sand and broken
rock in varying proportions, the
strongest being one part Of cement to
two of sand and four of aggregate"
It sets almost as soon as mixed; con-
tinues to absorb water and to harden
for many days, and gains strength for
many years.
Millions of bags have been used In
constructing the Panama Canal; no
fortifcation is considered complete
without it; great hulks and lighters
are built of steel skeletons coated with
concrete. and the belief is very COM
mon that it must soon replace both
wood and brick in house construction.
Indeed, the high price Of lumber, the
greater cost Of brick, owing to higher
fuel and wages, with the resultant use
of inferior lumber and brick weaken
ed by modern processes which hasten
the burning but leave the product
much more porous and softer than
those made in the old way, must tend
to increase the use Of concrete for
dwellings and small buildings Of all
kinds. Immense areas Of sidewalk
and pavement are laid yearly and are
swiftly increasing, and in the stupen-
dous tunnels, sewers, bridges, dams,
sea walls and other public structures

the state whose farm values are ad-
vancing, but whose farm people are
not advancing! Pity the state, indeed,
where wealth accumulates and men
decay" because farming has become
a place for breeding profits and not
place for developing manhood! A place
where a few landlord capitalists who
look upon the land only as a place to
keep their hirelings, breed dividends
for themselves-not place where men
are reared erect, with the conscious
ness Of self mastery and pride in the
ownership Of the homes they make, as
members of society and citizens Of the
state! The rural population is the
strength of a commonwealth only be-
cause they are less commercialized, be-
cause they lay relatively more empha-
sis on manhood and life and less on
money ond things, are more independ-
ent, more home-loving, than the city
population. When big plantations and
a numerous tenantry become the rule.
independence and individuality are de-
stroyed, as in the city; and the decay
Of the home follows the decay Of home
ownership, as in the city.
Eventually, no doubt, our more pro-
gressive states will frame some plan
for lending money to men Of intelli-
gence and character who wish to ac-
quire small farms; the state to be re-
paid in small annual installments-say
eight per cent a year-running through
long periods of time as was done in
Ireland. Meanwhile very big holdings
should be discouraged by providing
that they shall pay a heavier tax rate
than small holdings pay. I believe the
legislature Of Mississippi some time ago
passed a law providing that corpora
tions should not own agricultural lands
in that state. Other states would also
do we'll to be watchful on this point.
And the Australian plan for increas-
ing the tax rate on absentee landlords
also has many features Of merit.
