To Keep Boys on the Farm

~ FORGE WASHINGTON was
VI grown man before he ever saw
city Of over 5000 population. He was
essentially n farmer.
In letter written In 1888 he stated
his views on agriculture In these words:
The more ! become acquainted with
agricultural affairs, the better l am
pleased with them. can nowhere find
so great satisfaction as in those innocent
and useful pursuits. In indulging these
feelings am led TO reflee; how much
more delightful on an undcbauchcd mind
is the task OF making improvements on
the earth than all the vain glory which
can be acquired from ravaging IL by tho
most uninterrupted career Of conques,s."
When we measure the full impor, OF
the ravages the war Is making in the
Old World. how IL is debauching the
presen, manhood OF Europe and condemn
ing future generations unborn. TO eco
nomic slavery, we can grasp the truth and
wisdom OF the utterance Of the Father
OF our country.
Real happiness. genuine satisfaction.
undiluted enjoyment OF life can best be
found-in truth can only be found. save
in exceptional eases-by keeping In close
touch with nature. Yet our urban popu-
la'ion Is growing alarmingly; our rural
population decreasing. II Is problem
looming up for some master mind TO
solve, the question OF keeping our boys
on the farm. The farm ,enantry and
rural credits propositions. worked au,
or proper lines. will be big step in the
right direction. The United States senator
or congressman who offers the hes, rem
edy along these lines will find his name
at the top OF the roll Of honor a few
generations hence.

" beneath the pride of many housekeep-

But il seems that the rag bag couldn't
pass for keeps
Ii seems that we have never been able
10 raise all the rags we need in this eoun-
try SO we have had 10 pay for imported
brands-in 1913 10 the amount OF S.4lS,-
600. but last year. OF course owing 10 the
war;" we could only get 81 $4,000 worth.
In consequence OF scarcity. the price OF
rags has risen from 40 TO 100 per cent?
The other day President Taylor OF the
American Writing Paper Manufacturers
association OF Boston asked the National
Association OF Waste Material Dealers in
convention in New York, 10 cooperate
TO relieve the present shortage OF rags
and waste paper. which Is hampertng the
mills The secretary OF commerce has
jus, admonished every man to be his own
rag picker, or words TO that effect.
Thus the rag bag returns TO its nail In
the cellar-way. Once more the small boy
OF the family can bargain gravely with the
rag man-and watch his scales as he
weighs the bag-and reap much prof,
for his private savings bank. and have
the extra satisfaction OF knowing that
he Is helping TO solve grea, national
problem.
