The Farmer OF Tomorrow. :.

What will he be like? Have you ever
stopped to speculate upon the conditions
and activities of your children and your
grand children on the farm-if they be
farmersf Will the worlds food still be
produced as the surplus of a multitude of
farm homes working separately and I'M
systematically? Or, will cooperation of
farmers bring about concerted action and
effort so that not too much or too little
will be raised? Will it develop that agri-
culture will follow the line of other in
dustries known as big business and be
owned and directed by monopolistic
hand? In other words will The farmer of
tomorrow be peasant, or will he be a
free hold? Will the farm home continue
to exert its healthy influence on society,
and its development of the .sent and
become still more ideal, or, will the
farmer of tomorrow live in groups of
shacks, working at days wages for a
landed gentry Will your farmer grand
son live in highly sociaiized community
which maintaines efficient, graded
schools. energized churches, good roads,
modern homes and model farnls2 Or,
will he lack ali these things, and what is
worse, the desire and ability to acquire
them2 The answer to all these questions
rests largely with us. If this generation
shirks its social, political and economic
duties and allows things to just drift the
condition of the farmer of the future is
mot hard to picture. However, we are
not pessimists and we have full confidence
that the farmer folk of today will exert
every effort to maintain the spirit of in
dependence and progress, and that they
realize more fully than ever before the re-
sponsibility that rests upou their
shoulders Don't forget that the three
great duties of the rural dweller are: To
aid in making the best possible home,
the best possible community. and to pro-
duce the best possible products. All
these things are SO closely related that no
one can be neglected without injury to
all. To be efficient along these lines re-
quires intelligent application and the
best efforts of every one in order that the
farmer of tomorrow may have his right
full inheritance. Pennsylvania Farmer

story brick building at Nos. 493-495
Baker-st,, Wednesday afternoon. IA OF
the 35 girl employees of G, T. Hough-
ten & Co., glove manufacturers on
the second floor of the building, were
trapped in the front entry way. when
the door, opening inward, became
wcdged shut, with the frightened girls
pressing the leaders against the closed
door.
Their screams were heard by Detec.
tive Rollin G. Allen and a squad OF
policemen, who had FASTENED to the
fire on the second alarm, and the Off
GERS forced the door and dragged out
the girls. several OF whom had tainted
from fright.
Miss Ida Gait, or No. 1872 Illinois
ST, had led the stampede for safety,
when she noticed puffs OF smoke drift
ing into the factory from the second
floor apartment OF William T. Mel
drum, manager of one OF the G. f.
Smith grocery stores, that occupied
the lower floor of the building.
While the five men and the rest OF
the girl employees were making their
way to the street, Miss Lillian Park
hurst, OF No. 226 Holcomb-ave., and
Miss Maude Blake, OF No. 835 Seneca
ave-, delayed their departure, to save
some OF the Office records. AS the
place filed with smoke, and the
screams OF the girls trapped in the
doorway were waited up the stairway,
the two girls feared to risk an attempt
to escape, and were found in the
smoke-filled factory when fremen,
urged by spectators to search for girls
who might be trapped, made their
way upstairs, and brought them down
In safety.
Most of the employees escaped in
safety at the first alarm, using an
elevator in the plant. Mrs. Meldrum
and her baby fled from her apart
ments before the fire had gained much
headway
The cause OF the fire has not been
determined. but within a few minutes
after smoke was noticed, the upper
portion OF the building was all in
flames.
AS Truck No rounded the corner
of Beecher and Bakerssts., and was
close beside the building, there was a
terrific explosion, presumably of gaso-
line, in the grocery, and showers OF

The building is owned by j. f.

the damage TO the building Is estimat.
ed at about $4,000. Houghten & Co. s
