It is common belief among people
residing in rural districts that the aver

do and lots Of fun The country lad
puts aside his prosaic corn blowing or
wheat shocking and gayly goes 10 the
city to see the glitter OF the circus or
hear the insane turnult Of the street
carnival. They are so different from
the quiet humdrum existence he knows
on the farm that he instinctively flies
TO the conclusion that all city life is q
constant round Of pleasure, one grand,

The fact is that the ordinary urban
job is harder and more facilitating
than work in the country. Next to
some classes Of mine labor. we find the

OF toll right in the city-the mecca OF
country peoples dreams. Department
stores, engine rooms, factories, sweat
shops and the various sitting and
enervating pursuits In offices furnish
examples Of work which ks far more

The hardest and most trying labor

clared that whatever they did they
would have nothing to do with farming
when they began working for them.
selves.
Now think Of that. ladies and gentle
men, Think Of the instability OF . so
ciety in which 90 per cent Of the chill
dren have already made up their minds
against the thing they are doing, and
have fully determined to do something
else! What Is the object Of your farm
ing? What Is there I'M 1t for you, to
Till farms, and make homes, and work
hard all your lives when there are nine
chances out of ten that the very people
for whom you worked, your children,
your dearest loved ones. will desert
everything you have gotten together
and go of and leave it? Yet this was
the attitude OF mind OF 80 per cent or
more of the children Of Wright county.
Iowa, who were in the rural schools.
and Of the girls 1t was over IS per cent.
1t Is probably the mental attitude OF
the rural schools Of Kansas as a body.
In two years from that time Mr.. Ben
son sent out the question again, and
this thing took place: Over 80 per
cent OF the boys, the second time. and
over SO per cent Of the girls declared
as an occupation-boys and girls In
these Same schools. What had made
the change? There had been only one
change made in the lives Of these chill
dren. Their lives at home were just the
same, they worked just as hard, the
surroundings were just the same, the
climate was the same, but the figures
were just reversed. and nearly 80 per
cent declared they were going to stick
by the old farm. This Is the thing
which had been done: The teaching Of
agriculture in a practical way. and OF
domestic sciences to the girls, had been
introduced in the schools Of that coun-
ty during those two years. That hAo
made the difference.
Now l think that is one of the most
Illuminating things of which / have

whatever may have been the expense

FARMERS AND LIABILITY LAW.

And now comes another roar. A large
number of farm hands have been in
jured by farm machinery this harvest.
When the injured man looked up the
employers liability law they found that
the farmer was exempt from the execu-
ton of it's provisions. The injured man
is compelled to go to court. Now comes
the threat that the matter will be taken
to the supreme court on the charge that
the law is class legislation instead of
being general in its scope as 1t should
be. The farmers are also wondering
why they were exempted. One farmer
was in the Eagle Office the other day
and said he would rather be brought
under the provisions OF the law than be
the questionable worked the scheme
thru the legislature that the farmers
should be exempted? Did he think he
was doing the farmers a favor? The
farmers of Iowa are the richest class Of
citizens the state has. amply able to
pay all just claims. There Is no ques-
ton but they VIII petition to be placed
under the provis ons Of the law by the
next Legislature. When an injury to
an employe can be adjusted by the law
they do not wish to be compelled to go
to court and be at the mercy of what
is known as claim agent lawyers
whose greatest boon is to play upon the
sympathy of the jury. An injustice has
been done the farmers which should
be righted.

How nice it looked. The outsfde e was sweet hay andT strong horsehairs and inside was soft with feathers.
 Now mother bird sat in the nest on some pretty speckled eggs, and father bird hoped about and brought fat worms and sweet bugs for mother bird to eat. He sang his sweetest songs and told her about everything he saw on his trips, for he didn't want her to get lonesome.
 One day she hoped off the nest and in place of the eggs were four tiny birds with their mouths wide open asking to be fed. They grew very fast and one day their parents said it was time they were taught to fly, and they showed them just how to spread their wings.
 At first they were a, little afraid but they knew. if they fell they would be picked up and so they stretched out their wings and flew to the next tree After that they wanted to fly all the time and made mother bird anxious until she saw that they didn't need her help any more and were ready to go out in the big world and make homes for themselves.
 So they flew out and each tried to build as nice a, nest as the one they had left, but they always felt that the nest they had left was a little better than theirs because they could never find a rooster who would give them a tail feather
