PIANIST was Miss S. C. Vert of New
Hope.
The speaker of the afternoon was
the Rev. Isaac L. Wood, of the
State Street M. E. Church, Trenton,
and his address on the Life of
Abraham Lincoln was one of the
most mastery addresses ever given
before the Brotherhood, and was
pronounced by all who were fortu-
nate enough to hear it, the finest
eulogy on the life of this great man
that they had ever heard.
We want to take this occasion,
through your columns, to express
our greatest appreciation to DIR.
Wood for giving to the Mems Broth
erhood of New Hope this rare treat.

CHAUTAUQUA
PLANSFOR 1914
CoryelPs Ferry Event VIII Open on
August 18th With Elaborate
Program For Seven Days.
FIRST MEETING THIS SATURDAY

The first active movement toward
the 1914 session of the Coryell's
Ferry Chautauqua will be made on
Saturday of this week when Miss
Anna Oppenlander. superintendent
of the Junior Chautauqua, will visit
Lambertville and New Hope for the
purpose of arranging for the ex-
ercises to be held during the seven
days beginning August 19 next.
Miss Oppenlander will meet with
parents, and children who expect
to attend the Chautauqua, at 10
O'Clock in the morning at st.
Andrews Hall, this city, and at
Rockers Hall, New Hope at l p. m.
She will arrive in this city on
the 6.35 a. m. train, and will leave
at 4.31 p. m.
The Junior Chautauqua was sue
cess last year, and it is intended to
make it still greater success this
year. Owing to the lateness of the
decision to have the Junior Chau-
tauqua last year advance arrange
ments could not be made, but they
will be this year, to the advance
ment of the work.

ing eight specially trained colored
young men from Booker T. Wash
ington's Tuskegee Institute, in Ala
bama.
Maud Ballington Booth will be

Jacob Hooker purchased the 73-
acre farm belonging to William
Reading, deceased, near Rosemont,
in 1876. This farm passed through
several hands and was owned by the
late Jacob L. Green from 1884 to
1904, and by Mrs. Elizabeth John
son from that date until recently,
when it was sold to other parties.

that are possible to have In q city
home, and none of the disadvantages
incidental to city life.
The rural mail delivery, the tele-
phone, good roads, and the automobile
all combine to annihilste distances.
This will also enable the consolidation
of the rural schools to be brought
about and will bring them up to the
standard Of the city schools. The last
condition remaining for making the
farm home equal to or better than the
city home, is the installation of mod
ern conveniences consisting of a heat
ing system, water supply, toilet and
bath room, power washing machine,
and lighting plant. All these can be
installed for a few hundred dollars.
The farm home will then become
the ideal home. A home where bodily
strength, manhood and character can
be developed to the highest standard
Of perfection, free from the contamin.
ating evils that are rampant in the
larger centers of population.
If the mission of these land grant
colleges is to be complete; If the
vision of the founders of these insti-
tutions is to be fulfilled, the subject
of a modern home on every farm must
be made the paramount issue Of the
future, not only in teaching the SUBJ
ject to a few students, who attend GER
tain classes in the college proper; but
it must be made m of the most i'm
portant subjects for discussion by
those who will have charge of the ex-
tension work of these institutions, If
immediate results are to be expected.
This idea was evidently manifest in
the minds of the founders of these col
leges, in the term Mechanical Arts"
as originally used in the Morrill, Act;
which according to the Interpretation
of the U. S. commissioner of education
includes all branches of engineering.
But the very important phase Of the
work has through some unaccountable
reason been totally ignored in attempt
ing to improve the condition of farm
life.
Let no move be made to detract
from anything that has already been
started; but let this be at once added
to the other work. Why should not
the subject Of a suitable and respect.

able home for the mother and children
be considered as important and as
suitable subject for discussion as the
accommodations for the horses, the
cattle, the hogs, and chickens.
Let the land grant colleges, the
great captains of industry, the bankers
the development organizations, and all
farm papers and newspapers all over
the country unite, and make the mod
ern home on the farm, the main sub
ject for discussion of the future, n
the results will soon become visible.
In the proportion as the forces are act
ing, in the same proportion will the
results be obtained. And in proper
ton as the homes on the farm are i'm
proved, so will the nation wide back
to the farm movement" become an
actual reality.
AS the home is universally recog-
nized as the very foundation for the
stability of every nation, so must the
home on the farm be made both sub
~stantial and permanent If this nation
is expected to endure.-H. c. Solberg,
Professor Of Mechanical Engineering.

TO FIGHT LIQUOR LAW

Defeat of the bill initiated by the
liquor interests regarding voting on
the question of issuance of saloon H.
censes in communities will be the
chief object of the anti-saloon league
in South Dakota during the coming
year, according to r. N. Holesaple of
Mitchell, superintendent of the anti.
saloon league in an interview in the
Sioux Falls Press.
Mr.. Holesaple declared that the
league would throw itself into this
fight with all the force it can muster.
"The BILL" he said, would put the
liquor interests where we are now and
would give them an unfair advantage.
1t proposes that when a place votes to
have saloons, licenses shall be issued
until the voters decide to make the
place dry" Under the present law, a
place is dry" until the voters make it
wet" and the question of issuing sa-
loon licenses must carry at every elec-
ton or the place will be dry" Under

ton; IL life on the farm Is to be made

his declining years there the same as
they do in the northern countries OF
Europe. the farm engineer must be
employed to teach the farmer the ad
vantages to himself and his family, oil
the installation Of modern conven
fences In the home.
The engineer has been the chief fac
tor in the industrial development Of
this country. The engineer has been
the mainstay in all great transporta
ton as well as sanitary problems. II
is the engineer that has reclaimed ouI
vast desert areas and swamp lands
and made them to bloom like the
rose" 1t is still left for the engineer
to solve the greatest Of all problem
namely to teach the American farmer
to convert the American home from a
poor hut into the best home on earth
During the last few years, the sub
ject of good roads has received a great
deal of attention. At first the progress
along this line was very slow. but
through a persistent educational cam
paign, the farmers are beginning t.
realize the value Of good roads; hence
they are now taking an active part in
road construction.
An improved system of roads in the
rural districts together with the auto.
mobile will in a large measure do
away with the loneliness incidental to
farm life; by making it possible for
the women to visit one another more
frequently than formerly.
According to statistics compiled by
experts, the largest percentage of in.
sanity at the present time is develop
go in the rural districts and is caused
by the awful lonliness or isolation in
cidental to farm life. With good roads
and the automobile, farms ten miles
apart will for all intents and purposes
of social life be as near together in
the future as farms one mile apart
have been in the past. In the same
manner a farm ten miles out in the
country will be no further from the
market or social center than a house
in a large city ten miles out from the
business section Of that city. And

stood.
Up to the present time, with but a
very few exceptions, the subject Of
modern conveniences in a farm home
appears to be practically unknown to
the farming population. But with the
present engineering knowledge of a n
~itation, the question is reduced to one
of simply a few dollars and cents.
With a small gas engine water ear
be pumped into a storage tank, cleo
trio lights can be generated and a
great deal of other work performed.
With the present knowledge of the
septic system, an absolutely safe and
sanitary set of toilet and bath room
fixtures can be installed for a few hun
dred dollars, and the cost of mainten.
ance will be very small. Where wafer
is scarce. a sanitary system of toilets
can be installed, that by the use Of a
small quantity of chemicals, will OBJ
viate the use of a large quantity of
water. Hence the installation of
modern conveniences in a farm
home, will be no more diff
cult and but very little more
expensive than the same conveniences
in a city home. And the reason why
they have not been more generally In
troduced appears to be due to lack of
knowledge concerning the subject,
rather than TO a disposition TO neglect
the welfare of their families or an un-
willingness to expend the necessary
sum Of money. This utter lack Of in.
formation concerning a subject of so
vital importance to life on the farm, is
due to the n sided education furnish
ed by the forces that have been at
work in the past.
Up to the present time, the agitation
for farm improvement has been con-
fined largely to the seed and crop ex-
perts. the stock and dairy experts,
the fruit and alfalfa experts, and some
times the aid of the market and the
bank expert. All of these have given
good advice along their respective
lines of work and their advice has
been of vast benefit to the farmer, but
mainly from the economic point. But
II life on the farm is to obtain the
highest possible standard of perfec.

fences of all kinds for handling the
stock, large and convenient granaries
and machinery Of all kinds about the
place for doing farm work. But when
il to the home for the mother
and children, 1t Is mostly a small hut,
without conveniences Of any kind
whatsoever. The result Is that the
life of the women on the farm is un.
necessarily made q continuous hard
chip. The water supply is usually
very much closer to the barn than to
the house. There is no machinery for
doing house work of any kind. Be-
cause of lack of any toilet conven.

to life on the farm.
Upon inquiry among a large number
of farmers. as to the reason why they
left the farm, one Is invariably met
with the prompt answer that It was

Asked regarding the plans of the
league in Yankton which was recently

Mr.. Holesaple stated that the league
had not as yet formulated it's plans
but intimated that actions might be
started to prosecute the saloon keepers
who operated since July 1, until the
late decision of the supreme court, in
violation of law. 1--WE warned the sa-
loon men at the time that they had bet
ter close up their places pending the

ton of the law and actions may be
