On.the Spur of the Moment
By Roy K. Moulton
Tho Farm lid.


Don't tell mo OF the dear old farm,
know the game from A to q,
You see. I was brunK up on one,
And 1t does not appeal to me.
Or course. there's nothin' much to do,
Exceptin' work from morn till night
The only chance you set to rest
Is when there Isn't any light.
You get up when the faintest streak
or light announces 1t is morn.
You do the chores and then you go
and hoe tho taters and the corn.
When you get simply tired out
And sick of every doGgone chore
You Kin do all the chores again
And then go out and nee some more
You milk dozen cows or so,
And then you pillow and cultivate,
vi PICK potato bugs awhile
To rest yourself. that's simply great
or course, when 1t rains good and hard
you get from work. 4 short respite
GU simply hang around tho barn
AND mend the harness until night.
1 don't like to make no complaint
About the matter. but you see.
The dear old farm they talk OF. amt
Just what 1t is cracked up to be-
But still. don't know as I'd change
III should have chance bekuz
therets drawbacks to most any lob.
NO matter what a Teller does.

TrlE rrNNY SCHOOL rnonE.

The investigating committee still
continues to probe the SCHOOLS. 1t will
probably keep on probing until the
children of the present overworked
children send their children to the
schools. FOR the committee would like
70 find something on which TO found
q report, and as yet the something has
not been Forthcoming. 1t would be
awkward just to quit and admit that
no JUSTIFICATION for the charges had
been found. So the committee per-
spires and wastes It's time and probes,
and a few teachers nutter in the back
ground and think the probingSis sim
ply beautiful this year. And It is.
Were It not for the harm that this
pointless bit OF gallery philandering
may do the excellent public school sys-
TEN. it would pay to keep the probe
igoing for & municipal amusement. as
g spectacle the probers are worth a
couple OF hours OF anybody's time.
They have q very tiny one-half horse
power model of steam roller that
makes its wheels go round in most life
like style. They have acrobatic tenn
pers that are awfully amusing. They
have some now kind OF code of rules
for probing that Should be issued in
pamphlet form as First Aid TO the
frober." The probers are not educa-
tors, not at nj. but they are high
" oducative
The probers are not nasty but we
look forward with anticipation to the
report of their labcrs 1t may help to
relieve the ennui of the hot summer.

! HEALTH LESSONS FROM PANAMA.
| The remarkable health records es.
taolished in the Panama Canal Zone
| have u vital significance for the South
! We do not have to face tropical CON
! dittons, but In the heat the climate
the environment and the type of popu
lation. we have d ficultics much the
same as those so admirably overcome
by the United States government.
There is no reason in the world why
the death rate of whites or negroes
In Southern cities should he higher
than in the zone. These cities have
the same advantages of pure water
supply, sanitary sewage. and gar
basc disposal. They have boards OF
health who are given authority enough
to enforce the proper conditions. They
haze skilled medical advice. What is
the reason the same health conditions
do not exist?
For example. consider the following
figures from the last monthly report
of Colonel Gorgas. especially in conncc-
ton with the horrible death rate that
kept the French from building the
canal: OF l3,1OS white employees of
the Canal Commission and of the Pan
anna Railroad. three died of disease ana
two of violence, a death rate OF a75
from natural causes, or ass all told
Add nE 10 these whites the colorcd en-
ployes the death rate of the whole
force Of 51,095 was only SIS per 600
In Richmond the white death rate IS
above Il; the colored death rate i'm
the ne'ghborhood of 90 per J 900. Tho
cause Of this difference between Rich
mond, progressive city. and now
region In an equatorial climate is
worth seeking.
Yellow fever has been banlshed from
tho zone. ana more importantly. pre-
ventive medicine has almost complete
ly wiped out typhoid. diphtheria, ma
laria, measles tuberculosis and small
poX. These miracles have been nc
comnlished a an expense of about
$1,000 a day. Tho authorities have
also had the blessing OF a strict MILL
tary discipline.
In the lack OF any llind Of regu-
lativc force must be sought the failure
of Southern communities to improve
their health records. Public opinion
