WORSE THAN IRELAND'S.

An editorial in Farm and Fire
side draws attention to the Ameri-
can one-year lease system as fol-
lows:
at is repfoach to American ag-
riculture that so many people on
March 1 are homeless. We used to
read with grief and Indignation of
the eyictions of tenants in Ireland,
oblivious of the fact that our Amer
ican tenant system is as bad as that
of Ireland ever was, and not half so
good as Ireland's is now. This little
picture of the situation, written by
a victim of the 'system-a tenants
wife-shows a cheerfulness under
difficulties that is almost pitiful. But
who will deny that, as years pass,
this cheerfulness may turn to bitter
ness under the crushing difficulties
encountered by some Of our Alneri-
can wanderers on the face of the
earth in search of homes"

MORE MACHINERY FOR FARM
Only by Its More Extensive Use Can
AgrIeuIturists Meet Demand for
Greater Production.

The increased scarcity of hired
men makes it necessary for each man
on the farm to work more land. The
increased demand for farm products
makes it necessary for him to farm
his land better, says the Prairie
Farmer.
There is only one way that he can
do these two things, and that is by
using more and larger machinery.
Where he has been driving two
horses he will have to drive four.
Where he has been driving four he
will have to drive six or eight. In
many cases he will have to bring still
more power under his control by
using a tractor.
No farmer can now afford to
pump water or shell corn by hand,
These and other tasks can be done
by machinery, and machinery will
have to do them. The farmer must
buy machinery judiciously, for he
can easily bankrupt himself by buy
ing what he does not need. But
whenever a machine can be made to
do work that a man has been doing
before, or wherever a machine will
enable one man to do the work of
two, that machine is a profitable
part Of the farm equipment.
American farmers lead the world
in the use Of machinery. That is
one of the principal reasons why
they lead the world in prosperity.
We must make a still wider use of
to meet the needs of the
future, for only in this way can we
the work that one man can
do, and thus solve large part of
the farm labor problem.

COUNTRY RICH IN ROMANCE
State of Louisiana Full of Spots OF
Great Historical Interest, Declares
Writer.

What land of romance lies be-
tween the Calcasieu and Mermentau
rivers-the land where the pirate
Jean Laftte, the personal friend of
Bonaparte, used to visit and where
it was believed he concealed treasure
of untold value, says the Lake
Charles Clay American-Press.
The battlefield of Chalmette!
What a wealth Of history surrounds
that sacred place, and old Bara-
taria, the home of the pirates off the
mouth of the Mississippi river-all
these are rich in material that
should be preserved and not only
preserved but taught in the schools
of the state.
There are many, perhaps, who do
not know that the most interesting
part of "Uncle Toms Cabin" had its
scenes laid in Louisiana, and the
old-time home of President Taylor
was at Baton Rouge.
Louisiana is rich in romance and
history and all that is best should be
preserved ere it is too late. The his
toric places should be marked in
some special way, so as to be easily
identified.

CHANGES IN NEW EDUCATION
Old Ideas of University Training Are
Altered by Demands Of Business
and New Professions.

No one can reasonably maintain
that the American educated genera
tion today is less well equipped fol
its life work than the generation
which graduated from the Ameri-
can colleges in 1850. On the con-
trary, all the old professions main
tain a much higher standard for ad-
mission and in practice than they
maintained in 1850, and a large
group of new professions has been
added to the old. Moreover, busi-
ness, including agriculture, manu-
featuring, trading and distributing,
has become to a much greater extent
than formerly an intellectual call
ing, demanding good powers of OBJ
servation, concentration and judg-
ment, says Charles W. Eliot, in the
Atlantic,
There was time when the chief
part of the work of universities was
training scholarly young men for
the service of the church, the bar,
and the state; and all such young
men needed, or were believed to
need, an intimate knowledge of
Greek and Latin; but now, and for
more than hundred years, univer-
sites are called on to train young
men for public service in new democ-
racies, journalism, transportation,
manufacturing, the new architec-
ture, the building of vessels and rail
roads, and the direction of the great
public works which improve agricul-
ture, conserve the national re-
sources, provide pure water supplies,
and distribute light, heat and me-
chanical power. The practitioners of
these new professions can profit by
so many other studies in youth, that
they ought not all indiscriminately
to be obliged to study Latin.

To the Citizens of Meade:

citizens would like TO know some.
thing about how the cafeteria
came out fina ncii lly. lam pleas
ed to say that l have paid all my
bills, by that l mean the grocery
bills, coal bills, electric light
bills, laundry and help. This
year with tie high prices of food
it m kes an tatirg house quite a
problem, so the board decided it
a wise plan to close the cafeteria
for the last few weeks of school.
T he rent W II have to be Ia;d ty
the district but there should not
be a rent bill for the cafeteria
should have been in the high
school buildings. At Christmas
time l told the board if they
would move the cafeteria 10 the
Department, l would make the
cafeteria keep up the expenses
for both departments, this would
also have done away with the
electric light bill (Which was
used almost ali together in the
rooms upstairs), the house rent,
the fuel used for heating pur-
poses, and would also have been
much more convenient for the
high school teachers and students
Tor If they had to go two blocks
for their lunches many of them
would just as soon go on home.
The rooms up stairs at the
cafeteria last year brought in
$50, month with four occupants,
this year there were six oc-
cupants and they brot in Sis.
This also was drawback to the
cafeteria for the rooms should
keep up the liabilities.
l think the M. G. H. S. should
have lunch room in connection n
with the Domestic Science for
this keeps down the expenses of
the Department as we'll as ac-
commodities many students, who
should have hot lunches.
l have paid up the above bills.
and l am glad to say l have about
fifteen dollars left in the treas
ury.
Any other information desired
concerning the cafeteria l will
| ladly give.
