HIS MOTHERS SON-AND NINE.
I've just come in from the soldiers
camp,
Where 1 saw the body on parade
Five thousand of them, all khaki
clad,
And finer the Lord never made!
But one boy stood out from all the
rest,
A stalwart young gentleman fine,
The noblest fellow of all the lot,
That son of his mOther's-and
mine.
I know there are others who would
challenge me.
And call me both vain and de-
ceived;
Mothers and fathers would say am
And I shouldn't by them be be-
lieved.
Yet, granting that other fellows are
great,
Shoots from a strong parent vine,
He looks to me, of all that array,
Far the best-his mother'@and
mine.
Full many of that suberb lot of boys
Will dye red the loved soil Of
France,
Full many of them all broken will be,
And many will die, perchance,
But redder blood can never be shed
To dye the soft flow of the Rhine,
Than blood of our boy-our own
bonnie boy,
That son of his mother's-and
mine.
1 grant it, my friend, that your boy
is great,
AS great, it may be, as is mine,
And both of us are full proud OF
them,
OF their blood, as red as new wine,
And we bid them go, Gods love help
ing us,
And greet them through tears Of
brine,
But 1 must say that, of all the fine
lot,
I'VE but eyes for her son-and
mine.

Farmers Out
OF A Job
by james H. Collins

The following article from a recent
issue Of McClure's magazine (Which
we publish by request) contains facts
which should be worth careful con.
sideration by both farmer and business
man. The article will be concluded
with n the next couple of weeks.-Ed.
An everyday question rose in the
lumber business. The publisher of a
lumber trade journal set out to find
the answer. 1t seemed like simply
question - ust one of che many queries
growing out of this rather difficult in
dustrv in recent times. The publish
or said: This calls for little first
hand investigation. And he went
to work.
That was more than five years ago.
!. He is working on the answer yet!
The question was: "Why have lum-
Der sales fallen off in country towns
through the Corn Belt2" And the
answer consists of things like this:
An enterprissing town in the Corn
Belt had hustling commercial club.
Whenever an elderly farmer in the
country roundabout sold his place or
leased it to tenant, the commercial
club went after him as a prospective
resident; and usually persuaded him
TO move to town. His boys and girls
had grown up, married and started
life for themselves. He and his wife
felt that they could now afford to
take things bit easy after years Of
hard work. He moved in, bought a
house or rented one, put his money in
the bank, and increased the well-to-do
population. The commercial club
thought it was doing fine work for the
community. Every retired farmer
was regarded as town asset. Visi-
tors we're shown the colony Of retired
farmers who had built over on the
north side.
This shows the standing of Smith
boro as residence town." said the
secretary of the commercial club,
proudly. Ninety per cent. of all the
farmers who retire withina radius CT
thirty miles choose Smithboro as

home"
BY and by the town needed a new
high school. Plans were drawn for g
building, and bond issue Of fifty
thousand dollars submitted to popu
lar vote. Then a strange thing hap
pened. For the first time in town
history necessary movement was de
feated at the polls. Over on the
north side a conservative constituency
had materialized. 1t was made up Of
retired farmers. They no longer had
children to educate. Living in town
was more expensive than they had
figured. The money in the bank, and
rent paid by the tenant, seemed
precious. They we're against any
thing that promised to raise taxes. So
they voted down the bond issue for the
new high school.
Making the Farmer Think
Smithboro had live lumber dealer,
and for some months the latter had
been reading about some such state of
affairs as this in his lumber journal.
He wrote the publisher, and asked
what could be done to get the high
school through, and the publisher said
he would come out to Smithboro
and talk to the conservatives.
Get them together" he directed.
Hold meeting in some place where
they will feel at home, and get some
cider and red apples"
"You men have all succeeded at one
of the hardest kinds of business there
there is-farming," he said. "You
feel that you've earned right to rest.
So you have. But yov're not through
yet with your responsibilities as citi-
zens. Think back httlel Think of
the first ten years after you were
married, when you were buying the
farm, and your children were going
to school. Money counted then, but
you voted it freely for education, and
and sat on the school board, and
worked for the community. Now that
your children are out in the world,
and you live here in town, you may
think that part of life is over. But
how about the children growing up
around you? Are they not entitled
to schooling as good as your children
have had? Aren't they entitled to
betterH You are getting a little
closer every day to the sere and yell

Mr.. Taylor says the range is getting
so short across the river on account of
the numerous homestead filings that
the stockmen are forced to turn their
herds onto winter range early in the
fall and this leaves them quite short
of feed in the winter. During winters
of deep snow, like the past few years,
they are forced to drive their cattle
out to the prairie for feed and often
times are unable to procure hay for
them even out here in suitable guam
tity and at proper price. Hence the
necessity of moving to a better range
country.
