With these warm days when a
man has to shed his coat and vest to
keep from melting with the heat and
running down into his shoes, there
comes again the eternal problem Of
what to do with his pencil and note
book, his wife's letters that should
have been mailed last week, the en-
velopes and scraps of paper on which
he has jotted down names and adj
dresses, the list of groceries to be
taken home when he goes to dinner,
and the thousand and one other ar
ticles that are absolutely essential to
the long life, prosperity and happi-
ness Of an up-to-date man in this COM
plicated age. The only hopeful sug-
gestion we think of is the adoption
of handbags for men. The women
may object to 1t as trespass upon
their own peculiar sphere, but II
women are to be given the ballot, by
what right can they object to men
carrying handbags?-Imri Zumwalt.

FARM FREEDOM

At a recent meeting in Pennsylvan-
ia, which was addressed by the pres
ident of the United States, former
ambassador and a noted naturalist,
David Lubin, was introduced and he
said:
You have heard from this plat
form today that this is the greatest
nation on earth.
That is a lie
"iou have been told that we are
the greatest people in the world.
THAT, too, is a lie!"
He paused and you could hear the
leaves rustling. His whole being
still was aimed at those boys.
1--WE could be the greatest nation
and people, aad we should be. But
we are not and will not be until we
have done certain things. But moth
ing is to, be gained by fooling GUS
selves with self-praise. The way to
go forward is to face facts"
The point in view was that agri-
culture is suffering from a CONNER
cial autocracy; that farm freedom
was being throttled by the landlord
and if the tendency was not changed
before long, the land will all be un-
del rent and the last real farmer will
have disappeared from the country
In this Connection he praised the rural
bank law as the longest step toward
the retur nof agricultural democracy
and the downfall of commercial land
logdism And we will never be the
81 eatest nation until that achieve
ment is reached.
