Ready-M ade Farms.

The 'ready-made farm" on the prai-
RE is the Canadian Pacific S method
of drawing men to the land, says a
writer in The Worlds Work for April.
The railroad is disposnig of its land
grant" acres by building houses and
barns upon them, breaking the soil,
and stocking the farms and then
Offering them, with the pioneering
work all done to settlers. The cost
of the raw land is from 81 to $50 an
acre for non.irrigable land, and from
$35 to $40 for land that a be water
ed. Added to this the settler pays
for the improvements that have been
made. 49,
There are several plans, or pol
:~icies," offered to intending settlers.
The ready made farms are intended
TO men who know something of farm
ing. For them, the company improves
the land so that a new arrival can
take up his residence in a house al
ready built, his barn UP. his ground
fenced, a we'll on his property, and
his land plowed and seeded. They
are sold at the value of the raw land
plus the cost of the Improvements,
the whole amount being payable in
ten years at 6 per cent interest.

The ApriI American MAGAZINE.

One very interesting contribution
to the April American Magazine is a
report showing exactly how Scientific
Management is working. Now that
agitation of the matter has some
subsidized, definite results have been
obtained in factories where the in
vention has been put into actual op-
GRAFTON. One of the cases reported is
that OF a Government arsenal, where,
since the adoption of Scientific Man
agement, the cost of molds to the
government (that is, to the people)
has been reduced from SLIT each to
I$.54. The daily earnings of the mold
er have been increased from 1888
to 1914.

A Magazine for Fiction Lovers.

Taken altogether, %Lippincott's Mag.
azine for April is a characteristic and
delightful number, maintaining all the
e~xcellencies Of old-time reputation.
The complete novel is a story of love
and mystery, entitled Don't Trifle
with Money Once started, it catches
you in the grip OF it's strong currents
and holds yo1 there till the last page
is read. The au.ho: mas gained fame
as a writer through ner books, Let
tiers to Women in Love- 'Bsgsby's
Daughter" etc., but in this story she
exceeds all her past efforts. Yielding
to temptation the herr embarks on
all irregular financial transaction, but
his better nature prevails. Then, to
his dismay, he finds that bonds for
a huge sum which he had been plan
ming to make use of, and which be-
long to another man, have disappear
ed. The way of this particular trans
sressor is indeed hard before the
story is finished. In the end, howev-
er, he is chastened and he wins the
girl-notice the 'the'-and everybody
is happy.

Farmers Forward Movement.


The great national conferences Of
farmers has been called to meet at
Chicago April $40. and is one of the
most important gatherings III the his
tory. oil American agriculture. 1t is
important not only to the farmers
theselves, but to the people at LARGE.
Farm finance has been for long far
too unsatisfactory; and methods of
transportation of farm produce, and
marketing conditions in general, n
tirely unsuitable for the geatest good
OF both producers and consumers OF
the food supply of the nation. On the
opening day the subject for discus
sion will be Distribution, on the sec
ond day, Marketing, and on the third
day Farm Finance.
This conference has been called by
the farm press of the country and
will mark another mile post in the
farmers forward movement according
to Farm and Home. At no time has
there been SO much interest taken in
the cost oil living, at no time have the
people been so ready to adop: meas
ures' which are designed to work out
the relief, of the situation. No one is
accusing farmers of getting too much.
1t is a we'll known fact that the pro.
portion OF the final price paid by the
consumer that the farmer gets a very
small part indeed. What the farmer
needs is better financial facilities.
which will allow him to produce with
greatest economic advantage. What
the common good demands Is a better
system oil distribution, less expensive
transportation, less waste in market
ing. The farmers believe that or.
yanized effort is needed to bring
about any Improvement in conditions,
and feel that the financial questions
should be settled first and then that
the question of distribution md mar.
keting will be easier of solution.
Henry F. Hollis, the new United

was born in Concord, N. H., forty-two
years ago. He was graduated from
Harvard in 1892 and has since been
engaged in the practice of law in his
native place. He was the democratic
candidate for governor and for con-
gress on several occasions, but the
only elective office that he has held
was a single term as representative

1t is pity that this law receives
such small attention from those whose
duty and privilege it is to enforce it.

The wife is no worse off than she
was. The husband was a burden and

mans labor. 1t is not enough that
the derelict should be forced to labor

State Aid For Hard Surfaced Roads

would be right for Iowa.
There are several ways that state
aid fund can be raised. by one mill
state levy or by using the automobile
tax along with legislative appropr!a-
tons. Minnesota has levied one mill ana
then Will bond it for ten years. The
automobile tax In Iowa makes the
ideal source for a state aid fund be-
cause those who pay the tax almost
universally want II used that way and
the motor vehicle Is essentially an IN
, ter-county or state wide traveller using
the roads Of all the state. This fund now
amounts to 100000 per annum and
will shortly amount to 100000 per
annum. If the state of Iowa were per-
ed to anticipate this fund for ten,
! fifteen or twenty years there would
! be available all the money that could
he used in the next ten years in road
, building on the basis of one-third the
cost from the state and taxes would
not have been increased by the legis-
lature.
The gun license tax should be pu;
into a state aid fund also as there Is
no sense in trying to propagate game
with it when the farmers are unwilling
to allow hunters to trespass upon
their lands and among their herds.
II the one mill levy is made it should
be used for state aid fund along with
the automobile money so long as the
automobile tax is not anticipated with
state bonds. but the state should never
| attempt to build all Of road. We do
! not want one state commission of three
men building roads where they please
| with general tax. The state should
| help those counties which will help
| themselves and require at least two
/ thirds Of the cost of q road from the
| locality benefited as guarantee that
| the people of the locality believe the
| road improvement worth the money.
/ To build state roads all at state ex-

aid from the state only to the locali-

SPEAKING TO THF: BOYS.


A number of boys of the high school
are reported to be thinking of drop
ping out. Their desire to earn little
money appears to be the reason. ana
spring work will soon begin. 1t IS
hard for boys to realize the great
benefit that even good country town
school education would be to them.
There is little that can be done now.
and fewer things in the near future.
at which man can earn more than
mere living unless he has pretty
good education. A boy or man who is
not equipped with this is sure to fall
behind in the race and to be plodder
which means a failure. Youth is the
time and the only time to attend
school. This period Of time passed
without proper school training, means
an opportunity or advantage lost never
to be regained. Young successful
farmers have special training or edu-
cation. the same with good salaried
mechanics, with editors, business men
and so on thru the list. If the father
is willing to pay your way thru school.

the very best thing in the world you
can do is to accept of his liberality and
finish your school course. 1t Is the
best endowment ne can give you and
the best legacy you can receive.
