Up in Wright County, Iowa, so
Wallaee's Farmer tells us. they
have been teaching agriculture
and home economics in the rural
schools for four or five years.
and have been fortunate enough
TO secure capable and enthusiastic
county superintendent who
knew how TO make their subjects
attractive to the boys and girls.
Before this work began the teach.
ers had been asking the boys and
girls in the country whether or
not they wished to stay on the
farm after they grew up. The
answers were surprising: 157
boys and l63 girls said they did
not: seven boys and eleven girls
that they did. After three years
of agriculture and home econom-
les in the schools. the same ques-
tions were asked in the same
school. The answers We're sur
prisine again: 162 boys and 161
girls wished to stay on the farm
and twelve boys and seventeen
girls to leave. ANY moral In this

WHAT IS CRUELTY?

A Pennsylvania man, weighing
200 and some odd pounds, rec
emily sued for divorce from wife
who weighed less than 80
pounds. The complaint stated
that he asked for the decree on
the ground Of great and undear-
able cruelty. Naturally. the
newspaper photographers of the
United States are poking fun at
the 200-pounder, whose 9O-pound
better half lis said to be guilty Of
causing him undue suffering.
But what constitutes crueltyY
There are thousands of 90
pound women who can make life
a purgatory for men who weigh
two and three times as much as
they do. The sharp tongue. that
is keener than two-edged, sword,
is cruel weapon in any woman s
repertoire and it is doubly sharp
when resorted to by a little WISH
Of a dear, whose, very lack OF
weight makes her the object Of
chivalrous attention of all men,
including her husband.
No one should poke fun at that
Pennsylvania 200-pounder. He
probablv suffered all the fortunes
of the damned before he sought
freedom from a despotic but
charming little woman who tips
the scales at 90 pounds News
