Many Are Lonely

New York Evening Post: Miss Har-
riet R. Farrar of Boston is at the head
of one of the numerous organizations
that are trying to solve the "city lone
liness" problem. 1t is. known as the
1fpinster Association of Massachu-
fetts, and its officers make it then
business to hunt up eligible young men
Of good moral character and effect an
introduction between them and the
lonely business girls. The most valid
objection as yet lodged against this
sort of endeavor seems to be that It
partakes too largely of the ostentati0n
OF a matrimonial bureau. Yet. as Miss
Farrar is quoted as saying, there are
too many lonely girls in the cities. The
misery of life in boarding house is
oCtentimes unbearable and leads to the
first downward step. Out of sheer
loneliness a girl frequently seeks un-
desirable acquaintance"
1t is also to be borne in mind that
the association benefits are apparently
designed for young women in whosa
lives social amenities can play no great
part, because Of restricted circum
stances. Some Of the girls whom The
association has taken under its wing
have stories that are not limited to
Boston in their application. One of
them earned Sc a week and lived in an
attic bedroom. Her only FUN" was
walking about in the evenings Cooking
in store windows" Another had a
landlady who scOlded because she
played the piano in her room in the
evening between and o'clock. (Onlv
people who have rOomed over the 9
O'Clock piano are likely TO sympathize
with the landlady.) Still another girl
wasn't allowed to receive her young
man" in her room and as there wasn't
any other place provided by the land
lady, she had to leave and go to a
place where there was a public parIor.
1t is not always, nor usually. lack
of sympathy on the part of the land
lady that leads to interdiction of visi-
tors in the girls room. But simply
to interdict without providing any sub
stitute is the sort of half way super
vision that never supervises. Young
men and young women are drawn to-
gether by an imperative attraction and
good intentions, both public and pri-
vate, that attempt chaperOnage Of the

Mother Believes
VOIturnO Victims
Are Coming Home
Polish Woman Arrives In Minneapolis
With Only Four of Seven
Children
THREE SWAN FROM STEAMER
Doesn't Know That Official Records
Show Her Boys Are Among
The Dead

Believing confidently that three of
her sons in some miraculous way es-
capped the fate of those with them in
a wrecked life boat and are still alive,
Mrs. Rose Hatkofsky and four children,
survivors of the i'll fated Volturno,
reached Minneapolis early today. They
were met at the train by the father
and eldest son who have made their
home in this city for the last three
years. Mrs. Hatofsky, still weak
from exposure and nervous tension, is
at the home of relatives at 805 Bas-
sett place. With her came Abraham,
aged II; Ida, 8; Samuel, 6 and Yena,
4. All five arriving today were taken
from the burning ship by boats from the
steamer Gar and carried to Rotter-
dam.
After a day there, the little Polish
mother and all that was left of her
original family of eight sailed for New
York. Unable to speak the language,
and not knowing where or whom to
ask for information of her missing
boys, the mother and children allowed
themselves to be put on train for
Minneapolis and arrived today.
Last Seen Swimming Together
The mothers hope that her three
sons, Pima, aged 16, Daniel, Is, and
Keva, 9, are still alive is based on
the fact that all were expert swim
mers, having been raised on the rugged
coast of the Baltic, and used to cold
water and exposure, and when last seen
by Abraham, the eldest of the rescued
children, all were swimming together
with strong stroke through the heavy
sea then running and in the direction
of one of the rescue ships standing
by less than a mile away. That they
must have reached one of these ships
and have been taken aboard is the little
mothers steadfast belief, for she in
sists neither the sea then running mast
high nor the distance had any terrors
for her boys.

FARMERS CLUB NOTES

A farmers club is an informal as
ISOLATION of group Of people in a
community for the improvement of
themselves and their homes in partic-
ular and the community in general.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-11-04

We believe in the farmers club be-
cause we believe that the next great
development in agriculture will be
along the line of cooperation for
greater efficiency in production and in
marketing.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-11-04

The farmers club is the natural
forerunner of practical cooperation.
Cooperation, like charity, should be-
gin at home.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-11-04

There are many lines along which
improvement is difficult or impossible
without united effort on the part of
several or all of the people in the
community and almost any reason
able improvement is possible by COM
munity effort.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-11-04

Young people are more likely to be
satisfied to stay in community if
they are shown how they may be in
fiuential in its improvement, as they
certainly can be If aroused to see the
possibilities and power of united eff
fort.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-11-04

A farmers club affords opportunity
for community discussion and COM
munity action on any question that
arises regarding anything in which
the community as whole is inter-
ested. Had there been more farmers
clubs, fewer $4OO stations would have
been sold for $4,000, and fewer cream
cries would have been started before
the communities were able to support
them.-A. D. Wilson.

No important development is likely
to come unless a group of people get
together and work for it. Schools
roads, and churches all come as a re-
suit of community spirit which de-
termines to bring about improvement
