II Is not difficult to find men, even

failed. Some have purchased good
stock, but poor management or false
economy in housing or feeding pre-
vented them froIn getting the results
they expected, but by far the largest
number OF these failures are due to
the use OF animals that are not
adapted to dairying.

COUNTRY VERSUS CITY LIFE.

In the North Atlantic states in 1910,
As per cent of the people lived in
small towns and country districts com.
prising so per cent of the land and So
per cent lived in cities of 100000 and
over comprising the remaining area
of l per cent The lure Of the great
city, theme saturated with tragedy,
has been written OF many times;
Frederick L. Hoffman ,actuary of the
Prudential Life Insurance Co, in re.
cent pamphlet, points out that long
eyity and diminished liability to dis.
ease are decidedly favored in the coun.
try.
The typhoid fever mortalityrate is
higher in the country than in the city,
but the difference is much less than
has often been assumed Although
the mortality from malaria has been
higher, and in many places no doubt
still is so, mosquito elimination has
greatly reduced the number of cases
of malaria in rural districts.
While influenza, dysentery apo
pleXy. paralysis, heart disease and
peritonitis also seem more common in
the country. some of these are dis
eases Of old age, and the difference
is undoubtedly due in great measure
by reason Of larger proportion of
old persons in the country. the young
having migrated to the city. On the
other hand, the causes of death more
common in the city are veueral dis
eases. cancer, alcoholism. meningitis,
enteritis, bronchitis, appendicitis.
the pneumonias, tuberculosis, cirr-
hosts of the liver Brights disease
and death from violence
1t is hardly to be hoped that empha-
sis and the greater healthfulness of
the country win influence any one
who is determined to enter city life.
No appeal Of this or any other kind
has hitherto proved effective in the
history Of civilization. But it is en-
couraging to the dweller in the coun-
try to know that his chances for long
and healthy life are better than those
of his brother in the city

two instances in which two lives have
covered the history of our nation.
Our growth has been due to match
less resources, stored by nature in the
American continent, and awaiting the
power of man for their transformation
into results. The greatness of Amer.
lea therefore Is accounted for by the
accidents of location ana opportuR
ity We can not claim that the results
so far secured in the expansion of
business have been due in any large
measure to scientific or thorough use
Of resources and opportunities The
twentieth century has brought us face
to face with the fact that many of
our resources are in danger OF ex'
haustion, therefore the thought of to
day is strongly directed not merely
towards efficiency in securing raw re-
sources from the soil but also eff
cheney in manufacturing and in mar.
keting both at home and abroad. Ii is
this effort towards efficiency that ac-
counts for the rapid manufacturing
developments of the past few years
and the increasing export trade The
maintenance OF such efficiency is to
be secured only by recruiting from
the younger elements those who are
prepared for the life work. This gives
the reason for the present widespread
and persistent agitation in favor of
vocational education We can no
longer depend upon the mere accf
dent of immigration, or of resources
easily utilized The leadership which
the United States should expect
among the nations of the earth be-
cause of its natural advantages is to
depend not upon accident but upon
intention. The aim of education must
be to prepare each child for self-sup-
port and thus make every school of
the nation a place for life preparation.
This is the idea underlying the Page
Bill relative to federal attention to
practical education Of children, and
it is also the underlying idea of every
vocational attempt that is being made
throughout the country

THERE'S A aJokER."

THERE'S a JOKER.
Yes, there is a Joker" in the income
tax bill. But in this legislation, for
a change the Joker" is all in favor
of the people
The possessors of swollen fortunes
were much perturbed by the pending
income tax legislation, and when the
bill finally issued from the printers
they read it with great deal of in
terest The first paragraphs were dis
quieting. They fixed the rates of tax
alton on private incomes-one per
cent on an income of over $4,000 and
under $4,000, two per cent on as
much of the income as is above $780,
600, three per cent on all of 1t above
$4,000 annually, and four per cent
on any excess of 100000 per year.
Under this graduation a plutoerat like
John D Rockefeller will be required
to pay four per cent income tax on
all his income except 100000 per
year. This was alarming 1t was not
until Wall street read down to the cor
poration section that il felt that per
haps it had been judging the Demo
cratic House too harshly. For, while
individuals are assessed on a grad
uated scale. corporations are given a
fiat tax rate of one per cent no mat
ter how large their annual profits.
Even the great Steel Trust will be re-
CURED to pay but one per cent tax
on its vast earnings
When the Wall Street lawyers read
this far they smiled cynically Yes,
they had been too hasty in condemn
ing the Democratic house. Here were
the corporations receiving better treat
ment than individuals 1t seemed al
most like old times But the smiles
faded as they read ON into the "jok.
er"
For while the corporation escapes
the graduated tax, the stock holder
in the corporation doesn't. Up to $780,
600 the stock holders income from
corporation dividends is exempt from
taxatiOn-the corporation itself hav-
ing already paid the one per cent on
this amount But on dividend income
above $4,000 the stakeholder pays
one per cent above $4,000 two per
cent, and above 100000 three per
cent.
1t didn't take Wall Street more than
a minute to figure out that this meant
that the small stakeholder, the widow
who invests the proceeds of her hus-
bands small life insurance policy in
stocks, the small investor everywhere,
will be exempt from excessive taxa
ton II will put the chief burden OF
taxation on the rich alone
Wall Street would have much pre-.
ferred to have the corporations them,
selves pay the graduated tax, For
then the smallest stockholder, the
holder Of single share. would be re
CURED to contribute from his slim
dividends to pay the four per cent
which such corporations as the Steel
Trust viii have to pay on the bulk
OF its eernings
And in case the rich man would try
