WORK FOR FARMERS, CLUB

One of the well established facts is that the development Of community must come from within. Outside agencies may give the start but the people of the community must supply the constant energy needed in carry ing on the development
 Farmers clubs are one of the most effective agencies in developing a com munity. says Farmers Mail and Breeze. There were but few of them until the county agents began their work. They not only started the farmers clubs but kept in touch with them, giving suggestions and aiding in arranging and providing programs

BETTER HOUSING IN INDIA
Government Is Giving It's Attention to Matter That Has Been Too Long
 Neglected.

One of the most prominent features connected with the present develop ment of India is the jealous attention paid in some of the larger cities to providing more sanitary housing ac- commodations for Workmen, says the Building Age. The need of this may perhaps be more readily understood by the statement that out of the total population of Bombay. 76 per cent live in one-room tenements, and many of the rooms are occupied by more than one family
 The tenement buildings in some instances are said to have their rooms constructed like the steerage quarters of a ship, that is, with hunks one over another Bedrooms and kitchens are sometimes combined Between the buildings are narrow passageways into which all manner of refuse is thrown by the tenants and which are used for drainage purposes. That these dwellings are unfit for human habitation is well recognized by the municipal authorities of Bombay, and in order to provide better aecommoda. tions, sanitary "chawls" or tenements have been built for nearly twenty thou sand persons. "ehawl" in India means a building so constructed as to be suitable for letting in separate ten ements, each consisting of a single room or of two rooms, but not of moro than two rooms

INDIVIDUALITY AS A FACTOR
Must Be, the Part of Mans Own Being.

Any attempt to define the ultimate spirit of the individual seems doomed to failure
 There is a saying of Bishop But ier's which might well be recommend ed to the philosopher. Everything is what it is, and not another thing
 So individuality is simply individ- uality; and the attempt to discover some further meaning for the word can only lead to error
 We might be tempted, for instance. to suggest that a mans true ego is nothing more than his character.
 But individuality goes deeper even than character.
 Character changes; the individual remains the same.
 Thus man who in his youth is hon. est may meet with temptations that make him thief; so, too. the senti- mentalist may become a eynic.
 The changing character is no more than a manifestation of the indiyidu- ality beneath
