TOWN VS.. COUNTRY.

One serious obstacle to the cordial
relations that should exist between
all classes of American life is the I'M
reasoning antagonism that so often
exists between the town and the coun-
try.
Why this should exist is hard to
see, in view of the fact that each is
largely dependent upon the other in
many of the relations of life.
Unfortunately, however, it is fact
with which we have to deal when con-
sidering any matter of importance to
the people Of any given section.
This prejudice shows itself in polit-
ical life, in church life, in social life
and even in business. 1t frequently
manifests itself in a conviction of the
country man that the town man Is
always watching for an opportunity
to "do" him. He is convinced that all !
existent evil has its origin in the
towns. The town man, to this man,
exists for no other purpose than to
prey off the farmers,
On the other hand, it frequently oc-
ours that the people of the town be-
come imbued with the belief that the
country people "have it in for them"
Thus are the relations between the
two in a strained condition, and in
many cases even the most ordinary
business relations are hindered and
= - f " 4
reasonable jealousy.
Perhaps'you say the picture is over
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1916-11-24

drawn. 1t is not. The writer has
:. seen and is familiar with just such
in many instances, the prejudice is well
founded.
1t is fact that the clannish spirit
is the last to die of all the savage in
stincts of man. 'My clan and my
class mean everything to me, and your
clan and your class are my natural
enemies" That is the subconscious
reasoning of many men even yet-and
of men in whom we would least expect
it.
Is there, you ask, remedy? Yes,
there is one, but it is an individual
remedy. That is charity-that chart
ty which "Covereth a multitude of
sins"-that charity which "Thinketh
no evil"
Like many other causes of friction
between people, this condition grows
from slight causes, and little tolera-
ton and charity at the right time and
place will 90 long way toward rem
edying matters.
Also stress the fact that the two
clements are mutually dependent upon
each other-their interests are one.
Let each say to himself, as said anoth- |
ed of old 1--WE be brethren"
Ever try genuine dose of charity
toward your neighbor? Try it. You
will be surprised how rapidly he will
grow in your estimation.

BARN BUILDING is
NOW IN ORDER.

(By c. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
When planning to build barn one
of the first things to consider is its
general type-whether any farm live
stock, except cows, are to be kept in
the barn, and the number of animals
tc-.ha. ca.rad-,f Ar1 "a ,fys4. =. 70 Il /
The best plan is tohave tie dairy
herd in a barn by itself, as there is
less confusion, the danger from loss
from fire is reduced and it can be kept
more sanitary. Where the dairy herd
is small and only few horses and
other live stock are kept one may use
a general purpose barn where all OF
the live stock are housed
1t is good plan to store hay above
the cows, if a tight ceiling is provided.
Nothing but selfsupporting roof
should be used. This increases the
hay capacity. No posts are in the way
of the hay. The self-supporting roof
is more durable, looks much better
than straight roof, and costs prac-
tically the same. Bank barns are
usually unsatisfactory in the South.
They are poorly lighted and poorly
ventilated.
Select convenient location on high
dry groun' easily accessible to fields,
water and other buildings Never build
a barn less than so feet nor more than
30 feet wide. Less than this width Is
inconvenient, and more than sc feet is
unnecessary. Never put in more than
two rows Of COWS If horses or other
live stock are to be sheltered in the
same barn, put them in one end of the
barn away from the cows.
The cows may face in or out, but it
is usually considered best to have
them face out. They get fresh air as
soon as it enters the barn, and this is
the handiest arrangement for milking
and cleaning out the barn. Put in at
least four square feet of window space
for each COW. Concrete makes the
most sanitary floor, and is cheapest in
the end. A stall for an average-size
Jersey COW should be feet inches
wide by feet inches long.
Plans explaining the construction OF
modern dairy herds, silos and milk
houses will be furnished free to farm.

TWO THEORIES OF REPRE-
SENTATIVE GOVERNMENT

There are two theories of represen-
tative government, namely, the aris-
tocratic and democratic in fact, these
two points of view obtrude themselves
no matter what phase Of government
we consider. The aristocratic theory
is that the people are not capable of
studying questions for themselves, and
therefore select representatives to do
their thinking for them; the demo-
cratic theory is that the people think
for themselves and select representa-
tives to give expression to thoughts
and wishes of the voters. The first
theory is dangerous. Whenever a rep
desires to put his own in

THE SHIRK.

Probably the most annoying, exas-
perating and altogether despicable
characters which we mortals have to
contend with is the shirk-the man
who shunt his responsibilities onto the
shoulders of another.
The shirk is the original get some
thing for nothingH artist. He is an.
adept at "using" his friends. He is
an expert at the 'con" game. ''''

How he ever got there is a mystery.
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1916-11-24

terests above the interests of his con-
stituents or the wishes Of the few
above the rights Of the many, he gen
orally prefaces a statement of his at
titude with the declaration that he is
not "demagog" and does not intend
to be governed by the clamor of the
"unthinking multitude" He some
times boasts that he is too conscien-
entidus to do the things which his con-
stituents desire.
1t is worth noting that this sudden
eousIosuoo IBw1ouqs 10 uonelssy!usm
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1916-11-24

usually comes after the election and
the persons in whom it is noticeable
are generally constituencies in the
promises that they make and in the
means they employ to secure an cleo
ton. A conscience that hybernates
during the campaign and only comes
forth when the people are helpless to
recall their suffrage, such a consci-
ence usually reaches the maximum of
its sensitiveness when some vested
wrong is about to be overthrown.-W.
J. Bryan.
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1916-11-24

How he manages to retain his place is
still greater mystery. He never
voluntarily does a stroke of work
which he can by any hook or crook
persuade some eredulous associate to
perform. He is forever devising
schemes by which to roll his own res
possibilities onto other shoulders. He
is utterly devoid of a sense Of shame
at his own deficiency and always has
a ready excuse for his derelictions.
However, in most cases he has one
redeeming quality-he is possessed Of
unlimited good humor. He has the
faculty of imposing on you till you
rise up in revolt, when he at once pro-
ceeds to "jolly" you into a good humor
and to submitting to more of his tyr
amy. He always processes to believe
in bearing one another's burdens"
but is generally preoccupied with his
own affairs when your burden begins
to chafe.
He is. in short, a cumberer of the
earth and occupies the room that
good man should fill.
Every time we are thrown in close
touch with one of this gentry we are
disposed to doubt if the problem of
human slavery was rightly decided.
My! how we should like to have the
of his activities for just a
short time.
But as that is out of the question,
we just go on quietly submitting to
his impositions.
How long will we continue to do
so?
