thus opposing the pet theory OF numerous
prominent men, Mr. Hays places his
objections on the ground that the best
blood of the race always has been con
ttibuted BY the country to the city and
that TO send the derelicts of the big urban
centers to the farms would be to weaken
the vigor OF the nation at its very source.
Not more farmers but better farming is
the way the Assistant Secretary OF
Agriculture sums up the greatest need
Of the nation at the present day
The country is confronted right at
this moment with the necessity OF
doubling its yield OF farm products" "
said Mr.. Hays to-day. The individual
efficiency OF our farm operators must be
raised so that the average will be as
great as the best now is. This will be
accomplished not by decreasing the
Iuality Of our farm population by adding
The unfit clement OF the cities. but by
imparting to the men who run our farms
a thoroughly practical knowledge of the
best methods to be followed
The difficulty in bringing about
thoroughly scientific farming throughout
the country is just this difficulty of
securing the complete dissemination OF
efficient methods. The Department OF
Agriculture and state institutions possess
the requisite knowledge Of farming
needs, farm business methods, possibili-
ties OF profit in different lines, soil
characteristics and the like and need
only a practical method of bringing home
to every farmer these essentials Per
haps the most promising method yet put
forward is that embodied in bill now
before Congress providing for co-opcra-
ton between the federal government
and the states in vocational education
with particular attention to agriculture.
As it is proposed to extend this system
widely throughout the country. inclu ,'rg
vocational instruction in seco"iatE
schools, the children OF every rural c1-.-
munity will be equipped with q N~'
ledge OF practical farming method vf
will be immeasurably valuable be
themselves and to the country g. &

BIC MEN MAKE
BEST HUSBANDS
POLICE MATRON ADVISES HER
SEX TO BEWARE IF LITTLE
MEN WITH SHARP NOSES.

Chicago, Aug, 22.-Big men make
the best husbands and l'ttle men
with sharp, thin noses are espec-
tally to be avoided.
Th iiss the observation of Mis-.
Anna Murphy, chief police matrGn.
She declared today that during her
long experience in the Harrison
street police station she had nOJad
many instances of domestic iiie-
licity, and therefrom had formed
her notions as to the ideal nus
band.
Big men, whether it is in business
or in matrimony, are easiest to get
along WITH she said, They are
more even tempered as rule than
the little fellows. They are more
likely to be easy going and less irri-
table and more generous. The little
man is more likely to be nervous
and tidgety. Z,
"A man with a sharp, thin nose
is apt to be a scold Where a man
of small stature is endowed with
a nasal organ of this sort you have
bad combinai ion. There you
have prize fault-finder. He will
rail at everything, from the way
the steak is cooked to the way his
socks are darned.'
Mrs. Marie Leavitt, clerk of the
court of domestic relations, who
every day hears many a tale of do
nestle woe. said it was a fact that
comparatively few men figured as
husbands in the cases in her court.
The small greatly outnumDer the
big men in the cases that come be-
fore us" she said. THE big man
is generally more capable of earning
his living than an unslilled small
man and for that reason has less
trouble supporting his family. Most
of our cases are for support,
and on this complaint the little, un-
skilled man is the worst offender
by far

A Home Institution For Home Men.


1t has been said that the neatest
home on Caddo street is the one built
by share holder in the Peoples
Building and Loan Association, with
money secured from that institution.
BE that as it may, this home is eyi.
dence of two things, that this associa-
tion is a help to the one who would
help himself and that it only loans
money on the best security.
The lot upon which the house in
question was built was owned in fee
simple by the borrower and the
monthly payments which he is max
ing are rendering the security more
and more gilt edged every day.
For a safe investment every day,
one where your money is secured by

pany.

MIR. JONES' CORN HuskINes.

Editor Social C&ner: Nat's husking bee was good. 1tl reminded me of a time they had oncS down in Powdunh Valley. !
 Old Mr. Jones, wRo lived there, was a good corn growek and as he had several acres of corn lone year he gave out word there would be husking at his place a certain evening, and all were invited: and he wpuld like all the young people to come, as there would be red ears; and he liked to see the young folks have a good time.
 The date of the huskihg came. and there was a large gathe9ing. Before there had been many bushels huSked the young men found a nhmber of red ears, and a general time ofNkissing the girls was in order. In a few hours the party had 100 bushels of coGn husked, when Mir. Jones invited \then'aH to an old fashioned harvest supper with plenty of pumpkin pie and cheese and sweet cider. It was after rhidni@ht when the huskers departed with the promise of Mr. Jones that he would have another husking the next season.
 The good old man, looking over his glasses, gave his word he1 would havD the second husking with plenty of red ears. The next season came and NIT. Jones had his seed corn saved with much care, with plenty of red coHN, and looked forward for lively time with the young folks, but was much disappointed when the huskAg cam9 off. !
 Tho day the corn was planted Mr. Jones was called away to attend ths funeral of a dear friend, and did not return until night, when he was told the four acres of corn had been planted by his boys and the hired men. To have little sport with the goodsold man, the help had picked out every kernel of red corn and planted nothing but the white.
 When the time for the second husk- ing came MT. Jones sent out word that there would be sport, as he had saved plenty of red corn for seed, which meant plenty of kisses. There was much larger gathering than at the first husking. and they husked an6 husked until 100 bushels had been pilel
 on the ground and not a single red ear had been found, when Mir. Jones said: Gosh all fshhooks girls, I don't know what this all means! I put in lots Of red corn for seed. and if you have not got any kisses I hope you l won't blame me; but If you will all come here to husking next season will give you my note there will be | plenty of red ears, as l shall plant 1t l myself.7
 And he did plant the whole field to | red corn-rut a hill of white When | the young people came the third time | there was nothing but red ears, and | the husiiing bee soon turned into a kissing party and was beyond Mir. | Jones control, who wanted to have l the barn floor cleared;- the violin
 and nrompter were soon on the scene | and the husAing bee was quickly turned | into 3 barn dance. The small hours
 had been reached when the party re- turned home, forgetting all about the
 corn not husked, and the pumpkin pie
 and sWcer cider. This broke up the | husking bees at Mr; Jones, who de- clared he would never plant any more
 red corn, and, he never didi

SOCIAL CORNER POEM.

Do ' love the gold of the sunset? In the soul of my soul l do; and 1 love the hush of the twilight When the cares of the day are through. I love the scent of the meadows, Tfle smile of the friendly stars, and The light that strays from Heaven the mornings crimson bars. I love the dew and the clover; The glory and strength of noon; The lullaby of a mother and The bsby's answering croon; The crest of a snow swept mountain; The valley of peaceful dreams; The little cot by the roadside Where a home light softly gleams- I envy you not. oh neighbor. With your palace great and fine; You nave but a transient shadow. While the wealth of the world Is mile. I arn richer than ancient Midas t With his fsbled touch of gold; For prairie and bill and woodland Their treasures 10 me unfold. In the bfllowy stretch of a landscape Are gems too rare for a king; And I know the voices of howerE, And the notes that wild birds sing. I envy you not your millions Nor your place in the worlds great
 mart.
 For nine are the songs and dream
 irgs,
 And the throb of a kindred heart.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Such fine times we all have been having through the generosity of some of the dear Sisters, and how very interesting all are getting. So much so that the Social Corner page need not take a pack seat with any other page of it's kind, is my honest opinion.

 Ball for Baby, big and soft and round-Take two circles of cardboard 5 1-2 inches in diameter, cut a round hole in each 1 1-2 inches in diameter. just the shape of a donghnut. Take bright colored worste1s or mercerized floss (the more colors the better) and wind over and over the cardboard till you have the hole filled. Then cut the threads all around the edge and tie a strong thread tightly between the two cards, also a. twisted cord of different colors, 10 inches long, for an elastic . Tear, out the cardboard circles and fluff the ball in place and you have az pretty a ball as anyone, would wish and 1t will not hurt baby either.

PRESENTS FOR SCHOOL oe4aA
 DREN.

Dear Editor and Sisters: There is one subject of which have seen no mention in the Christmas letters. It is that of making presents for school children. It is sometimes quite tax on the ingenuity of the mothers to provide enough gifts at moderate cost Here are a few I have thought of:
 Handkerchiefe1Th yards of ten cent muslin will make eighteen hand kerchiefs. They may be hemstitched on the machine. Cost less than two cents each.
 Ties.-A yard of some pretty mer- cer1zed cotton goods will cut a num- Der of Windsor ties for the small boys. Turn in narrow hems and stitch on the machine. The pieces left may be used to make bow ties for the older boys.
 Blotters-Tie two or three sheets of plotting paper together with narrow ribbon. Paste pretty picture on the upper one.
 Sachets-For these get a package of thin cream colored envelopes. Sketch on each a spray of holly and tint it with water colors. Put in each a piece of sheet wadding sprinkled with sachet powder. Will cost less than a cent each.
 Flower Seeds--n you have saved a quantity of seeds from your flower beds this year, you can use them as presents, Get a package of envelopes, note size, Put in seeds. Paste pictures of them cut from catalogues, colored, if you have them, and letter name on the front of envelopes.
 NoiseIess Pencil HoIders-These the nervous teacher will consider a boon. Cut two pieces of pasteboard, 1-2 by 10 inches. Cover them with pretty cloth and overland together. Fasten a strip of narrow elastic across the middle, sewing down in several places. This is for the pencils to be slipped Into. If wished, the holders may be ] furnished with lead and slate pencils, penholders and erasers. These may all ] be bought at ten cents dozen, or cheaper, lead pencils, at least being sold for five cents a dozen. l ATTNT SERENA
