THE UPLIFT CLUB
The days seem dark to Mr.. Chubb.
His wife has ioined the Unfit Club

The days seem dark to Mr.. Chubb.
His wife has Joined the Uplift Club.
Before that happened, life seemed
fair; she had minimum of care. She
cooked the meals and mended clothes
and took in moving-picture shows, and
when the daylight hours were flown,
the evenings always were her own.
But since she joined the Uplift Club,
she hasn't time to cook or scrub; she
has to write mile of dope about the
works of Aleck Pope, or put together
reams of rot about the tales of Walter
Scott.
Her husband comes home from the
store and finds her sitting on the floor,
fountain pen behind her ear, and
books and pamphlets lying near.
SIS supper ready?" asks the hub.
"Of course it's not!" says Mrs. Chubb.
"How can l cook the blooming eats.

to find quotations that will suit to

bother me, that's all ask; | have a
most important task, and if you talk
to me of grub, you'll drive me bug
house, Jonas Chubb. It's most dis
couraging, by jings! when ones i'm
mersed in noble things, to have man
of sordid mind come up and talk a
lady blind-to have him talk of things
to chew, when she has lofty things in
view."
The husband eats can of beans and
murmurs, This is what 1t means to
have woman who aspires to train
with poets and their Tyres! I'll have
to fill myself with hay, while she gets
wise to Thomas Gray! For lack Of
fodder I'll grow poor, while she's dis.
secting Thomas Moore! l starve, but
it's no use to squeal-she fools with
Addison and Steele! Sad is the man
who homeward turns, to find the haus-
frau reading Burns; no poetry on earth
enthralls, when one is keen for cod.

s4,750,000 TO Be SPENT
FOR THE FARMER

The Smith-Lever agricultural ex-
tension act of May s, 1914, provides
for a permanent national system of
agricultural extension work to be
carried on with Federal and State
funds through the State agricultural
colleges in cooperation with the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, by means of instruction and
practical demonstrations in agricul-
ture and home economics to persons
not attending the colleges.
The Smith-Lever Act appropriates
money as follows:
(1) $4,000 of Federal funds annl:-
ally to each of the 4S States.
(2) In addition to the $4S0,000, the
act appropriates for 1856 100000
of Federal Smith-Lever funds. This
sum will be increased annually by
$5OO,0O0 of Federal Smith-Lever
funds until 1928, when the annual
Government appropriation will be set
at $4,5SO,OOO. The additional appro-
priation is divided among the States
in the proportion that the rural
population of each State bears to the
total rural population of the States.
Any State, however, to share in this
extra Federal Smith-Lever fund must
appropriate and spend in extension
work at least an equal amount of
money from sources within the State.
The money from the States will bring
the joint demonstration fund to
81 ,6S0,CO0 in 1856.
In addition to the Smith-Lever
funds, however, the Department Of
Agriculture during 1916 will eXpend
from it's own appropriations for
farmers cooperative demonstration
work and for other direct field in
struction in special subjects over
81 OPS 900. AS the accompanying
table Up. 81 shows, however, the
States will raise from sources within
the State and spend for demonstra-
ton work total of $2,65O,0OO. This
will make a grand total Of $4,750,OOO
to be spent in the fiscal year 1915-16
in bringing practical and helpful In
struction to the farmer and his
family in their own communities.
