Shortening the Hours.

Modern conveniences and a new
spirit have done much to make life
on the farm pleasant. But the &
is much yet to be done. A young
y woman of intelligence who lives on
model faFm with her father was
recently asked: do you like the
farmY" There was quick uncon-
scious sigh as the young woman
hesitated between loyalty and
frankness. She was naturally do
nestle and by every instinct in
clined to love the country. Yes"
4 she replied, Il like the country
and we have it quite convenient
now. But we have got to get up
at four in the morning and work
until eight at night. Iget awfully
tired sometimes, but it looks like
we just can't quit" There will
have to be some way found to quit.
That is the big reason why SO many
of the best boys and girls go from
the farm and so few come back
Telephones, automobiles, pianos,
books, community centers will not
avail unless time is found to enjoy
them. Years ago when prices
were low it was often necessary
for the farmer and all his family
to work early and late to make a
living and pay the mortgage. But
with better farming methods and
increasing prices that necessity is
passing. The farmer and his fam
lily must be able to earn a good
profit on ten or twelve hours day.
The time has passed when intelli.
gent, ambitious people will be con.
tent, even under the favorable con
ditions of the great outdoors, to
labor sixteen or eighteen hours b
day merely to earn living. 1t is
good to work; but there must be
time for mental and social i'm
provement and for play. The city
has laws against child labor. But
the eleven-year-old farmer boy
may be sent to the field to make {
full hand. Women are not allowed
to work in stores and factories
more than eight or nine hours; but
often on the farm they work six
teen or eighteen. The economi,
condition that compelled drudgery
on the farm must pass; and thel
the new farm management must
teach people how to live on the
farm as we'll as how to raise crops

New Moylna Pictures Of the farm.

member, of course. those hoary
and pleasing Autographs showing
the finding of the red ear at the
husking bee, the barn dance, the
house raisin'," the hayrack par
ties, the pumpkins following be-
tween the corn rows, the beauti-
fully built conical stacks of bun
died wheat. Well, they are all
headed for historical museum, and
our college-bred farmers are pos
ing for new moving-picture plays.
In his cornfield in July or August,
he swings with his harvester to
cut green stalks. With his ma
chine he does the work of ten
men with corn knives. After it is
cut the corn goes to a shredder,
which husks the ears and grinds
the stalks for silage-a tirst-class
green winter feed for dairy cows.
Pumpkin vines would become en-.
tangled in the machine, so they
are raised in a separate field.
Wheat stacks are gone because
the ascertained losses between cut
ting and threshing from the stack
are greater than the gain due to
the stack-sweating process; and
another pride of the farm-the
man who could put up the most
symmetrical pagoda of wheat
bundles-is compelled to look for
glory in other fields. For the
young folks the town and city
bathrooms are made available by
improved roads and automobiles:
they dance to the music of the
same orchestra that plays for
country club parties-so passeth
the straw rides and the grand
right and left" under the barn
lanterns. And all the college
bred farmer gets in exchange for
the old farm traditions and ro-
nance is a bigger bank account, a
more wide-awake existence, bath
tubs and sleeping porches, demon
stration trains, C i en- t fl c
acquaintance with the soil, a
knowledge of cost accounting, and
few other things like rural free
delivery, long-distance telephone
service, the same old tan, fresh
country eggs, and good health.
Before you put your talented son
into a law school, a medical school,
or a dental college, spend some
time investigating the agricultural
college. You'll find that men are
beginning to brag about sons who
have gone back to the land and
made good. Well have a farmer

when Mayor Brand Whitlock is ex-

The ordinance. framed ly city Soil

three-cent fare provision on the car
company 20 be effective until a per-
manent franchise is drawn. The ordi-
nance holds that the street car fare OC

people are called upon to pay no more.

for damages for any citizen who may

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
HOW A. COWARD REDEEMED
HIMSELF.

Charles Calender was captain
Of an artillery company at the
battle Of Bunker Hill. There
was some criticism of his de-
pertinent during the battle, and
he was oashIered for alleged
cowardlee and disobeoienee. He
was dismissed "from all further
service in the Continental army
as an officer" But he could not
have been very oowardly at
heart, for he determined 20 wipe
out the stain on his record. He
remained In the army as a prI-
Vate, faithfully performed his
duties as a common soldier, and
watched for his opportunity. It
came at the battle of Long Is
land. The captain and Ileuten-
ant Of his company were
killed. He assumed COM
mand and fought his guns
with great bravery to the last.
He was about TO be bayoneted
by a British soldier when an
English officer, admlrlpJ his
courage, intervened and saved
his life. He wac taken captive
and remained a prisoner In the
hands of the British for more
than a year. After his escape
and return, Washington ordered
his former record expunged and
restored him TO his command.
At the close Of the war he was
mustered out Of service with
the highest honor and reputa-
ton"

forget to call me, mother,
Please have pa set the alarm,
For the show will get in early
1 won't miss it for a farm"

Many a youngster will sleep with
one eye open watching for the first
break of dawn, and as soon as the sun
begins to peep above the horizon will
quietly slip on his clothes and sneak
down the back stairs, softly open the
back door and hike toward the depot
and perch on a box car to await the
first appearance of the show trains. Of
course, when Jimmy gets down he
finds that Bill, Pete, Jack and some of
the rest of "the gang" were there al
ready and guy him for not getting up
before 4 o'clock, but what's the differ
ence? It will be show day just the
same.
Many older people are inclined to
laugh at the small boy for arising at
such an unseemly hour and following
the show from the time it pulls into
town until its large tents are spread
and the parade is started from the
ground, but if they only knew it little
Johnny has the best of many of the
older people He is able to see many
things that are of greater interest than
even the most thrilling of the per-
formances in the big tent. Few people
realize the wonderful system that en-
ables a big organization like Sanger's
Greater European Shows to be moved
from one city to another, get ready and
give two performances in one day and
get them out of town without friction
and seemingly without effort.
The show comes and goes with its
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty, it's hundreds of employees and it's
acres of canvas, and few people think
anything about it. They do not stop
to think of the wonderful amount of
work that is necessary to conduct a
great amusement enterprise like San
gers Greater European Shows, but
take it as a matter of course, because
circuses have come and circuses have
gone for years.
The show date with Us will be to-
morrow, April 9th.
