A Civic PRAYER.

For our comfortable living, for our
fair surroundings, for our many bless
ings which the poor must lack, we give
hearty thanks; and We resolve that
from what store we have, little more
than we can comfortably afford shall
be given to those servants of tile poor
who seek to cheer forlorn homes, to
lift up weary lives, to open the path
of opportunity, to remove old evils, and
to cure the plague of poverty at Its
very sources. This Is done In the hope
and faith that (our city, will thus
become fairer and better home for
all alike, and that virtue, courage, and
peace will increase visibly among us
and bless (our city, among all cities,
Amen.-Frederick Airy

Women,a Hobbies,

Women are less given to the pur-
suit of hobbies than men. When
they do take up a fad" however, it
Is likely to be an odd one. For In
stance one wealthy Chicago woman
has for years been collecting cartoons
and caricatures of "Uncle Sam" She
has many thousands of them and at
times has trouble keeping up with the
output. Another woman--a vassar
professor of mathematics-rec
bought a small plot In the Maine
woods and built house entirely her
self.

COOPERATION LIFE TO CITY
Community Which Does Not Encour-
age Growth Of individuals and
Industries Cannot Thrive.

Speaking before the gathering OF
business men of Baltimore at a ban
quet In his honor, Charles NJ. Schwab
said: " No large industry can thrive In
a community unless 1t enjoys the good
will and the support OF that commu-
nifty"
That statement Is as true of the
small industry as of the large indus
try, and 1t is true of the individual
business man as well.
And there Is also truth In the state
ment that the community cannot
thrive which does not give to the indi.
viduals and to the small industries 40
well as to the large industries situ-
ated therein every encouragement to
growth and expansion.
Cooperation is the life Of the city.
Without 1t there can be NO city In the
true sense. There may be an aggre-
CATION of houses, of businesses and OF
people-but that does not make city
as we know the city today.
The true city of the twentieth cen.
fury is place Of schools. a place or
churches, a place Of wide and we'll
paved streets, a place of Fairgrounds
and of parks, place Of beauty and q
place of culture.
1t Is as well a place where every
man who is doing his share for the
mutual welfare Is receiving his share
of the credit and the profit; where the
new industry is given local support in
the period when that Is needed and
still receives that support when Ii
reaches prosperous maturity; where
the farmer who brings in the product
of his labor may be sure Of a market
at price that Is fair and just; where
the stranger receives every considera-
ton and Is not robbed.
In short, the true city Is a place
where people can live In happiness and
contentment, secure In the enjoyment
of pleasant homes, loyal friends and
prosperous business conditions-and
without the spirit of cooperation 1t 10
impossible for a city long to exist.

SCHOOL GARDENING NOT FAD
Tendency In Some Quarters Not TO
Regard New Development Serious
Iy 10 pecried.

The federal bureau of education OF
the department of the interior has is
sued pamphlet, Gardening In Ele-
mentary City Schools" which covers
the progress and prospects of school
gardening. The testimony presented
by school officials from cities Of more
than 5000 population in all parts OF
the country indicates that while gar
den work Is offered In the schools OF
about four hundred cities and enthu-
siastically praised by the school Off
Gals of these cities, there Is still ten
dency In some quarters to regard 1t
merely as another educational fad.
This 1t certainly Is not. The United
States is still an agricultural country,
and the teaching of gardening brings
the schools at one point closer to the
real business of the country than any,
thing else taught, says the Indianapo-
lis News.
But of course there must be some
system about teaching gardening. The
natural desire for garden must be
cultivated and conserved, so that the
transition from play to work can be
accomplished. This Is the problem Of
the educators. Many cities have COM
planned that they cannot get good
teachers to undertake the work. The
school authorities will have to cult
vate teachers as the children cultivate
their gardens-that is, If they are to
meet the demand. For 1t appears
from the government report that school
gardening has won its place. It has
developed the home garden under
school supervision, and this has proved
not only Its educational worth, but
also Its economic worth.

THE LEGISLATURES BIGGEST JOB

The legislature meeting today in better shape for
carrying on its business than any of its predecessors for
the reason that the amount of money it has to divide
among the branches of government and to carry on the
states business is limited It's members assailed on all
sides by those desiring increased sums for their especial
branches and those desiring the state to take charge OF
some new matters can point to this phaAa of the
law and safely say: nothing doing"
At the same time in making the appropriations it is
admittedly up against hard problem for it has to make
the money has available do the work that before re-
qred $715000 more That is that sum it is stated is
required to do the states business properly This means
there will have to be close figuring and perhaps
some pairing of many appropriations That some pro-
posed buildings will have to wait certain, and that
many fond hopes Of increased activity and spreading out
Of educational branches and others will be doomed to dis
appointment is equally certain. 1t is suggested new
penitentiary building necessity The State fair board
points out that buildings needed and they GER
tany are especially building for the horse show and
the judging Of stock
Practically every commission points out that it could
use more money to great advantage to its especial al
fairs and everything fosered and carried on by the
state is in the same fix.
Apparently instead Of getting the things they hoped
for they WILL most of them have to wiggle along with
smaller appropriations rather than larger ones. This
where the real work of the Legislature will come in for
there will be fight by each state department and com
mission to prevent its appropriation being decreased
The legislature has nice little job on its hands, and
only stiff backbone will allow it to survive the task

THE LIFE OF A FARMERS WIFE
BY JAMES M. HEADY

Oh! give me the LIFE of a FARMERS WIFE in
Summer HOT and BRIGHT, midst barking DOGS and
croaking FROGS and dreadful FLEAS that BITE.
To rise in the MORNING half ASLEEP at the earliest
peep Of DAWN and watch each WEED as it goes to
SEED all over the whole front LAWN.
TO fix up the GRUB for every DUB that's hanging
around the PLACE and start up FIRE while the fel-
lows we HIRE are washing their hands and FACE.
There's wood to CHOP and pigs to SLOP and chickens
and ducks to FEED
Oh glorious LIFE has Farmers WIFE---yes a
glorious life INDEED.
She don't have to GO to Picture SHOW or entertain
each DAY. but she may ASSIST if she can't RESIST
the farmer who's making HAY.
From the break Of the DAY she speeds on her WAY
with many twist and TURN. There's milk she must
TEND and Socks she must MEND and the Butter she
has to CHURN.
But this is her JOY without any ALLOY, that helps
her the task not to SHIRK--She has FEARS and
she never sheds TEARS for fear that she'll be out Of
WORK
Or twill come to pass, she'll join the CLASS or the
throngs of the UNEMPLOYED. What'er may PER-
PLEX or serve soul to VEX with this she is never
ANNOYED
So. TOWN ladies I'd SAY---are YOU weary TODAY of
the CITY and all of its STRIFE?---Go raise some
POTATOES and pigs and tomatoes and WORK like q
REAL FARMERS WIFE.
