STAYING ON THE FARM.
(By VIM. l.. Britt, Rush Hill, Mo, in
Missouri Farmer

Missouri Farmer.)
There is one question often asked
the Missouri Farmer that think 1
can partially answer. why do so
many boys and girls leave the
farm?"
1t has occurred to me that per-
haps at least part of this might be
stopped if farm homes were better
equipped with modern conveniences
such as furnace heat, running water
and bath, and sewerage, electric
lights, laundry, ice-house, etc.
Now | am not picturing to you a
farm house such as mine is, but
such as / would like for mine to be,
and such as hope to make it as soon
as possible. In other words, l would
speak speak to my readers as the
minister spoke to his congregation
when he said, do we brethren, not
as ! do, but as / say"
| believe that many country lad
and many country lass, too, has
first conceived the idea of migrating
to the town or city from visit to
some relative in the city whose home
was well equipped with lot of econ
veniences" which in the average
farm house would be called "luxu-
ries."
You say these things all cost mon
ey, To be sure they do. But a lot
of farmers could have them who do

down under our buttonwood and

for us, unseen, on an instrument like

MORE THAN MONEY IN LIFE
Those Who Look Upon Riches as the
Source of All Happiness Have
the Wrong Idea.

Dollars to dimes 1t vs. money, easy
money, the easier the better.
What do we want money for?
Merely to spend. There are some, Of
course, who want 1t just for the sake
Of having it, but the average individual
wants it to spend. He thinks he wants
to live high and fine and be sporty.
What has been the fate Of the aver
age young man who has had all the
money he wanted to spend?
A full pocket generally leads to a
pace that kills.
Only those who have earned their
money know how to care for it, and
to use it to the best advantage.
This Is the best world there Is for
human beings. There may be better
ones for spirits or other forms of life,
but none better for spirits encountered
with the mortal coil.
This world may have been made for
one of the incidents of creation. There
is much that leads to the latter con-
clusion. None of the various phenOm,
ena of nature show him the least re-
spect. The lightnings smite him,
storms regard him not at all, seasons
come and go just as If he were not
here, and he is not consulted about
anything. If he cannot get enough to
eat he must starve, and If he doesn't
provide against cold he will freeze

Reducing Bread prjces.

Englishmen Of the Georgian period
had drastic method of dealing with
he'problem of dear food. In 1913 sew
eral hundred summonses were issued
by the lord mayor against bakers for
selling -four ut exorbitant prices and
many heavy fines were inflicted. More
over, the lord mayor intimated his re-
solve to keep watch on the matter I'M
til the price Of flour was reduced to
an equitable level. There was not only
an attempt to keep down the bread
prices by Furnishing bakers who tried
to make too much profit In war time,
but serious efforts were made to re-
duce the quantity of bread consumed.
Thus the proclamation OF 1900, con-
demnlng the eating OF pastry, exports
and charges all heads Of families to
reduce the consumption of bread by ut
least one-third OF the quantity con-
sumod In ordinary times, and in no
case to suffer the same to exceed one
quarter loaf to each person In each
week.
