BETWEEN CITY AND COUNTRY
era OF Misunderstanding Fast Disap-
pearIng and Progress Means Sesu-
ton OF Big Problems

TO the Members and Officers OF the
Farmers Union:
Unrest Is back Of every intellectual
or political crusade or tendency In this
country today.
One need not be Republican, q
Democrat. Q Socialist, Bull Moose or
a member of any other party to realize
that fact.
Look about you and with very few
exceptions you will see few people
who are satisfied with existing con-
ditions. One party may diagnose the
trouble in it's own particular way, and
prescribe its own particular remedy.
Another party may take an exactly
opposite course.
But the man In the city or the coun-
try, If he reads and thinks and OBJ
serves even little, realizes that SLOW
ly, but irresistibly, there Is approach
ing a readjustmenl in America; and in
this readjustment, the main battle cry
will be q more equal distribution OF
the burdens and the rewards, of the
penalties and the premiums.
The great majority OF Americans are
disconnected with the status as it now
Is, and the new spirit that Is breathing
over the face of the waters Of thought
and sentiment Is the genuine and not
the fake brotherhood OF manor at
least condition nearer approximating
1t than we have seen yet in this nation.
In that day OF change, Of evolution,
that is coming. 1t la to the interest OF
both town and country to stand as
one. In the final analysis. we are all
Americans.
1t Is true, that few prey upon town
and country alike. It Is against the
interest of this few to encourage q
thorough understanding between town
and country.
We must remember. In considering
this fact, that the cityman Of today
was the countryman of yesterday !;
that the countxyman OF today Is likely
to be the eityrnan OF tomorrow; that
both are Of the same blood. with the
same ties and the identical ultimate
interest.
am glad, as every thinking Ameri.
can should be glad, that the era OF mis-
understanding between city and coun.
try 10 disappearing. Progress in that
direction means that In the arduous
and delicate solution OF the problems
that beset our common nation, town
and country viii be arrayed together
and battling for human sights, wheth
er in the most popular city or tbs
most s2arsely settled country.

Gar Curtain Stretches.

Any woman who is in need OF cur

ing frames on hand, can make them
in the following way: Buy some fine
wire nails one-inch size. and put a
row of them along one edge of your
frames as far apart as the scallops
OF your curtains. Then secure your
frames at the corners and stretch
yo,1r curtains on the small nails. At
ter all yourzcurtains are done, remove
the nails, ais they are liable to rust

nails in the old holes when next yos
want to use them.

TRY TO DO TOO MUCH.
ERROR MOST WOMEN MAKE
WHEN II oUsE CLEANING.
To Lay Out a System and Do this
Work one Room at Time Ia
Better Than upsettIng
the Whole House.

Winter, with its attendant duties
in household affairs, means that the
woman who has system In her plans
will accomplish more work and have
more satisfactory results than the err
ratio, makeshift housekeeper who
cleans because she Is expected to do
so. and whose work speaks for her
incompetence.
House cleaning should not be a mat
ter to be feared, and it decidedly
should not disrupt the home and verify
the eating from the mantelpiece'
joke.
The first rule Is to plan the time to
be given to the work and to do one
room at a time. This will insure
thoroughness, and will allow a part
of the day for rest SO that wreck
of a woman need not greet the home
Corners at night. Most women are en-
thusiastic, and when one room is
cleaned feel that they might as we'll
go through the suite This is tho er-
ror for which they pay later on.
The easiest way when cleaning the
furniture which has been covered is
to remove the linen coverings and
place in a tub Of water to which
naphtha or borax has been added.
While these additions are doing the
washing for you the furniture should
be taken outsof doors and thoroughly
brushed with q stiff brush. II the
covering be durable, a beating with
rattan heater should be given.
The woodwork should be wiped of
with warm water and chamois.
Paints should be cleaned. and you
have no idea what an extra coat OF
enamel on white paint or varnish on
other wood will do.
Wallpaper can be cleaned by wip-
ing 1t with breadcrumbs. Art gum
or kneaded rubber will do this work,
as also will bread dough that has not
much lard in It,
Carpets or rugs after 8 thorough
cleaning can be frightened by wip-
ing over the surface with water to
which ammonia has been added
Gas globes are also frightened by
bath in soapsuds and ammonia
The curtains and other hangings
are easily cleaned, and the furniture
moved back. Just hint. Change
the arrangement Of the chairs, and
the room viii seem to take new life
and an added attraction.
Then rest! One room at time

weeks. What OF It? Does not a good

Pie Stand.

A very convenient receptacle for
cakes and pies is made from q boz.
Stand the box on end and place strips
at equal distances along each side In
side the box. Let these support light
pieces or strips Of boards. This allows
for the placing OF number Of pies

By removing one or more shelves

be easily moved from room to room,
or even taken on an outing. The front

BIG PROBLEMS OF

Geological Expert Of Columbia Col

Washington, d. G., Aug. 22.-The
magnitude and intricacy of the en-
gineering problem connected Will
the building of the Panama canq
are not the only obstacles wit
which the engineers on the Zol
have to contend with. One Of ;ht
greatest difficulties that has stood il
the way of the completion of tn

of rock and earth that still interfere
with the work.

gagged in the operations, thu

ployed Prof. James F. Kemp, head
of the department of geology at
Columbia University, to go to Pana-
ma to lend his assistance He will
advise not only how to avoid the
slides, if possible, but also will give
attention % the outbursts of gases
along the canal cut. They werf
first reported to be Of volcanic origin
and this. caused great uneasiness,
Recently other causes have been as
signed The canal Officials have a.
ways denied that the landslides or
the gaseous outbursts indicated any
permanent obstacle, but this employ
ment of a man whose life has been
devoted to a study Of such questions
indicates that they are more serious
than they are willing to admit.
