Little Francis was not to be fooled
twice.
The heavy black clouds had
massed in the east and west, the
lightning was flashing fiercely be-
tween the heavy. incessant rolling
Of the thunder.
Francis was terribly frightened,
and his fond mother had gathered
her young hopeful into her arms and
tried logically to calm his fears.
Don't be afraid. darling. There's
nothing to fear. God sends the
thunderstorm to clear the air water

Now, don't cry. dear: 1t won't harm

psy Of the Gentleman Farmer.


As q result partly OF the widening
influence OF our agricultural colleges
and partly OF numerous cooperating
agencies, q new set Of ideals is being
created with regard to country life.
The nation as a whole. In fact. Is
making a re-estimation OF rural life.
With tho coming OF dear lands. city
people have awakened to a new In.
terest In country affairs and new
respect for country inhabitants.
There Is before us in the United
States the opportunity to develop per
haps the finest type OF rural civiliza'
ton that the world has ever known.
The ownership of land In past ages
has always been most honorable, but
the working OF II has been regarded
