sign logical and fOrceful arguments
against the movement
There are the diversificationists who
say that present methods of farming
are wrong. These argue that the
farmer should develop crop rotation,
introduce much livestock and grow
crops in a way that viii keep up soil
fertility and also reduce chances of
failure by giving more than one crop
TO market. Many farmers of Indiana
are working hard to bring about di-
versifcation, putting a part of their
land in regular crops and truck, in
vesting largely in cattle and hogs and
investing in canning plants.
Health is given as the primary cause
in the fact that the farmer Is being
persuaded away from the farm for an
industrial or retired life in the city.
Exposure and hard work breed sick
nesSes " which the city man is entire
~ unfamiliar. Broken bodies and
physical reactions often result from
the overwork and hard life of the
agriculturist.
To remedy his body as well as his
brain he moves To the city To take up
either a quiet retired life or 10 enter
a business OF some sort. Many In
diana farmers and St Joseph county
men have moved to South Bend 10
take over shares in mills, smaller fac
tories, grocery stores and the like. Too
vastly different from the life of the
farm. the farmers career in the city
Is often brief--tOo brief for the good
OF his pOcl<etbOok and the swelling OF
his bank account
III health is given as the cause for
the fact that many of the younger
farmers are placing their farms in the
hands of managers. while they move
10 the city SO that they may rest and
recover from whatever Illnesses that
have contracted upon the farm.
IL has been said that many farmers
OF st. Joseph county arc not dtted for
the life of the agriculturist-that they
have not the slightest knowledge Of
the exacting methods required and the
systematic keeping OF crop records,

OF LETTER WRITING
One of the Best That Can Be Acquired
and Is One That Makes
Friends.

Don't get into the habit of saying
that you hate to write letters, Many a
friendship has been broken by neglect
ing to answer letters.
Letter writing is decidedly not a
forte with some women-they think
it bore, and keep their correspond
ence as far as possible within the very
narrowest limits. Others don't trou-
BILE even to answer letters when they
get them.
ooh! you know I'm wretched cor
respondent" they will say in excuse.
The woman who can talk on paper
to the person to whom she is writing,
almost in the same way and with the
same fluency as she would talk to her
were they together in the same room,

A good correspondent nearly always
writes as she speaks.
It is one of the unwritten laws of
etiquette not to begin a letter with
the pronoun Il"
This is always a point which should
be remembered in letter writing
1t is always wise plan to answer
letters within few days. In this way
there is no danger of your laying them
aside and forgetting them. This is
especially important where invitations
are concerned.-Camden Daily Cour.

Mathematical Prodigy.

A mathematical genius has been
discovered in India. AS described in
the Manchester Guardian, he is about
fifteen years of age, is wholly illit-
crate, looks simple, almost witless,
and is very shy His brain is mathe-
NAUTICAL machine, and seems to con-
tain nothing but mathematics. Any
question you may ask him that re-
lates to figures he answers with aston
ishing rapidity.
One of his feats was the division of
a line Of 16 figures by another line OF
six. In another case he was asked
the cube of large number, taken
from a table of such calculations in
a book. One numeral in his answer
differed from that in the book. The
examiner showed him the book, but
he insisted that he was right; the
sum was worked out on paper, and 1t
proved that the book was wrong and
that the boys computation was cor
rect. Physically, the boy is abnormal.
He has too many fingers and toes, and
is probably defective in 'other ways.

Man.Driven 'PIanes.

Before the invention of the aero
plane many attempts were made to
invent flying machines in which man
power alone would be employed. All
these attempts, however, ended In
failure.
Mathematician have now estimated
that man is far too heavy to be sus-
tanned in the air by the power OF his
own muscles, no matter how large
may be the wings that he fastens TO
his body. Among birds the weight
limit is approached most closely by
the Australian crane, which flies. al
though it weighs 20 pounds.
An aeroplane using three horse
power can be built, experts say, which
will sustain a man, but as the best
athletes can exert only maximum
of two horsepower for Is seconds at
a time, mans dream of initiating the
flight of great birds can never be real
lied. He always will be dependent on
a machine.

why seek for details, when these might

Singapore would see the end, and
she would become her normal self

She clasped the necklace around her

mood filled her with the irrepressible

her cheeks and the clarity of her eyes
spoke illuminatingly of superb health.
The tan on her face was not made
noticeable in contrast by her shoulders
and arms, old ivory in tint and as
smooth and glossy as ancient Carrara.
"You lovely creature!" murmured
Marine, touching an arm with her lips.
