THE "AWAY FROM THE FARM" MOVEMENT

Fourteen weekly newspapers have joined hands in an
effort to boost the back to the farm movement" They
make strong showing to the necessity of the
ment asserting that 90 counties in Illinois are losing
population and have been doing so for fifteen years
The Oregon Journal commenting on the effort OF the
fourteen "Horatios at the bridge says
"Of course shall do full duty in sympathizing
with this worthy effort We hope it will accomplish
something. But we have doubts Young people from
the country drift downward because they earn more
there than in their old surroundings. They not only
earn more but they have an immensely better time"
spending what they earn Until the country can be put
equality with the city in these respects we fear
the drift will continue"
There is in the Journals comment one assertion that
accounts for the "away from the farm" movement and
that the towns attract the boys from the farm because
in them "They not only earn more but they have an
immensely better time spending what they earn"
Here in nutshell is not only the cause OF the move
ment but also admission that the farmer compared
to all other trades occupations is grossly underpad
We all take pride in pointing to the countrys vast
crops and in boastng of ability to feed the world but
we do not take into consideration the vast army of farm
who toll early and late to make this magnificent
showing.
The latest report of the Department of Agriculture
shows the principal farm crops this year valued at
about $5500000000 Including cotton and the animal
industries this amount would reach fully S10 100000
The Of 1910 shows there farm population Of
about 1200000 1t is fair estimate to say that Of these
half adults In other words that there are, in
cIuding the women, about six million farmers.
With a ten billion dollar crop this would allow an
average income to each of $666 This sum must cover
the interest on the capital invested taxes and all other
charges 1t is safe to say that the actual pay the farmers
receive for their work not above SIS per month-and is
probably below $50
1t is this pretty we'll understood fact that makes the
boys drift to the cities where as has been said they can
earn more and have amusements 1t is this same
condition that the farmers to object to paynk high
salaries to officials no intelligent than themselves,
and for work not nearly so strenuous.
These conditions also handicap the agricultural schools
and colleges especially those which have courses such
engineering and others; for the boy going to them with
the intent to study agriculture is brought face to face
with the proposition that agriculture is not nearly so
profitable as other pursuits and he takes up these
other vocatons instead The colleges not to blame
for it, but conditions.

GENERAL MCCLELLAN AND LORD KITCHENER

And now some war experts are drawing parallels be-
tween the work Of General Lord Kitchener and General
McCleand Of our own civil war; Here is a sample of
the logic of one wellknown military writer:
"The Union in 1861 and England in 1914 were extra
ordinary unready Both were Immediately plunged into

the first battle of Bull Rum the other by the havoc in the

FLAT HEADS WERE POPULAR
Specimen Of oldtime Physiognomic
Fashion Found in Santiam River.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore,
Nov. 1.-THE skull of an adult flat
head Indian that was found on sand
bar of the Santiam river near Lebanon,
Ore, has been received by the Condor
Museum of the tSate University. The
sender was Willard A. Elkins recorder
Of the city of Lebanon.
This sort of skull reformation was
once commonly practiced from the
Columbia river all the way down the
coast to Peru. The ancient Peruvians
practiced it, and so did the Toltecs of
the plateau of Mexico. Flatened skulls
were considered stylish in those days
and the flattening was brought about
through binding board on the fore
head of the child when its skull was
still in the stage of easy yielding.
Many other primitive peoples, includ-
ing some of the early Malays, practiced
skull binding.

size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff germ,
nourishes the hair roots and Immediately
stops itching scalp. 1t is sure and safe,

"How do you meant" he asked.

at Andrew with distended eyes.

questioned.

20 uer q WONDERFUL comfort now In the

convinced Of her %faithfulness despite
all appearance Of evil. That he still
loved her she knew, and the knowl-
edge revived her spirit to revolt against

there was indeed an end to hypocrisies
between her and her husband. The
secrecy and deceit of the past had been
punished enough already, perhaps, In
the misery Of the present. For the
future there should be only truth be-
