THOSE OLD YOUNG MEN.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
Men are growing younger. Years
ago. when a farmer was 60 years old
he was an old man. Several things
went to the making Of that. First.
he worked much harder than the
average farmer does nowadays. he
went without many things that keep
men young, mainly because he had
to. and he failed to take care OF him
self as men do now. The old time
farmer had long hair and long whisk-
ers. They framed his face in the
insignia of old age. He might be
sturdy and hale as an oak tree in his
woods pasture, but he looked old. He
was careless Of personal appearance.
Now the farmer shaves clean usual
lv. thus retaining the appearance OF
youth; he takes time for many things
which preserve youthful appearance
and youthful ways; he wears good
clothes and lives in a good house with
modern conveniences. Mayhap he
isn't stronger, or longer lived than
his predecessor of the long, white
beard and flowing locks, but he looks
and feels younger than that man did
when he drives his auto gayly along
the roads where the other made q
slow way with a lumber wagon and
a farm team.
Maybe he will not count as many
years as his grandfather, but he will
have lived a much longer life. Life
is mainly what men put into 1t. Elk
istence is a different thing. A bowl
der exists in the same place for 3
long time unless some modern farm
er "busts' 1t with modern dynamite
and uses the pieces for barn found
alton The farmer Of this day is liv
ing years of his progenitor and tax
ing months and even days to do il
in.
Men retain youth in these days
They keep alive longer. Their knowl
edge is infinitely wider. They are
interested in the affairs Of the world
and not confined to the narrow bound
aries of township. They suffer
with those who suffer and rejoice
with those who rejoice from one end
of the wide world to the other. And
that is living.
It Is pleasure to meet the men
Of the farms nowadays, we'll informed,
actively interested in the weals and
