 COUNTRY LIFE PROBLEM

f'T'he largest problem that faces American civilization to-day is the building up of country life" declares Walter H. Page, Ambassador to Eng land. in bulletin on Education in the South 9 just issued by the U. S. Bureau of Education. 'swe have just passed through a period of organiza- ton of. the machinery of the modern world, making the city and the rail- road, but the country has been left out Now we must build it up. We all know that in the coming centuries, as in the past, the character and the wis ion of American life will come from the soil.
 A'In our early days the cTaracteris- tic of the people of the United States was indivtdua1ism. Great as this was for the cause of democracy, it rested upon a false economic basis A mans home can not be his castle, for he is mutually linked as his brothers keep CT, whether he will or no. A larger vision and a large liberty and larger opportunity have come upon us as the task for our working hours. We must organize in the country
 Speaking of the workAof the Con ference for Education in the South, sNr. Paige said:
 'HThe historian of the progress of democracy could not write a more thrilling chapter than the events of the past 10 or Is years, taking as the cue the note of the Conference for Education in the South. We began with the school and the child, and we end with them, of course; but every step has been toward a widening dem ocratic ideal, to see how we could teach one another. and we have come to have a broadening sense of all that cooperation means.
 '@To till the soil. to train the chf1- dren. to make the home, a work of continuous human service, I count these the greatest privileges that can fall to the lot of man. We have worked on a program to bring to pass the dream of the fathers. that our Re public shall be and remain the hope of the world.

WILSON GOES TO CORNISH
President Eager to See His Daughter,
 Who Was Thrown By Horse.

Washington. Aug. 2e-President and Mrs. Wilson and Miss Eleanor Wilson will leave Washington today for their Summer home near Cornish, N. H., and the President expects to remain there over Labor Day. Mrs. Wilson and Miss EIeanor intend to re- main at Cornish for the balance of the season
 The Presidents decision to go away for brief holiday was prompted by anxiety over Miss Jessie Wilson, who was thrown from her horse while rid ing with her fance, Francis B. Sayre, Wednesday. All the reports received at the White House indicated that Miss Wilson had not been injured seriously, and that she merely was bruised, but the President felt an in cIination to see for himself how his daughter was progressing, and decid- ed to accompany Mrs. Wilson and Miss Eleanor to their Summer resi- dence. The Presidents wife and daughter already had arranged to re- turn to Cornish today.

MAKE THREAT TO
 ATTACH TAILORS
Strikers Say They Will Demand Back Wages Claimed, And Act If Not Paid-Strike-
 Breakers Arrive

New Haven. Aug. 29-Members of the Journeymen Tai1ors' Union, ac- cordtng to a statement issued by Pres tdent Samuel Abrams, are threatening to attach a number. of tailoring estab- nshments today or in the near future, to cover back pay alleged to be due them if their demands for the money are not granted before that time. President Abrams claims that almost every man in the union, which mum bers about 40o has claims for back pay against the employers and that attachments may be placed on 8 large number of the tailoring shops in the city. Some of the men, President Abrams alleges have claims of over $2oO and there are many of $50 or more.
 The employers showed their inten- ton of ighting the mems demands last night when a group of alleged str1ke-breakers, numbering eight, came up from New York on the Richard Peck. When the Peck ar rived about 6:3O o'clock, there was a crowd of about 12O strikers at the dock to greet the strike breakers. There were cat-cal1s and jeers, but the strikers made no other demon stration. Fearing trouble, the em- ployers had notified the police of the expected arrival of the New Workers and there was a squad of bIue-coats and detectives awaiting the boats arr rival at the dock.
 At meeting yesterday afternoon, the helpers union decided to strike in sympathy with the fulI-f1edged tai1ors and a strike was announced at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Some of the helpers were working yesterday but this vote will call them all out Four of the men brought here as strike breakers before the men went out, have left work also and have been sent back to theit homes by the union men; according to their claim.

She wore a beautiful c1inging Bulgarian gown, now more cling1ng than ever.
 "sir. allow me to clasp your hand!" cried the captain of the life guards, all of whom had app1auded the rescue generously. ''It was one of the neat est rescues ever pulled from this dock. Surely sir, the lady must be your sis ter, else you would never have taken your life in your hands and jumped with it into the water in that man ner, to save her life?
