WHAT ABOUT
The FARMER F?

1t seems just about useless to ar.
que with the city man, who has
studied agriculture for years in the
best newspapers, when he gets to
going on the subject of the sins of
the farmer.
"Why doesn't he save that billion
dollars worth of cornstalks that goes
to waste every year and feed it tc
the calves-he shouldn't be allowed
to sell calves-and produce more
meat and butter and milk and bring
prices down to a decent level? he
demands.
Proper prices, of course, are those
that would make things easier for
city folks, regardless of where the
farmers come out.
Well, things are not ideal on the
American farm, admits William
Johnson. in THE COUNTRY GEN.
TLEMAN for December 9th, but he
rises to remark that The Average
Farmer has very much more than
made good. If he had time himself
co,'id hire somebody else to do the
job, it's likely he would save ali
hose cornstalks and all the straw,
haul out all the manure, keep all his
tools under cover but even working
sixteen hours a day, seven days to
the week, and fifty-two weeks to the
year, there is limit to what one
man can accomplish, no matter how
large a family he may have to keep.
Farming in Denmark or in China is
quite different proposition from
sweating living out of the land IN
these United States, but the Ameri-
can farmer has surely done his part
toward making this Nation what it
is. What is more, he is adopting
new methods and new machinery lust
about as fast as they prove their
value in the hard test of everyday
work.

partment felt that such a charge
should not be thought of the firemen
as individuals were called upon to
take risks and make sacrifices for
which they received absolutely nc
compensation and often had clothing
ruined, the expense of which they
are compelled to bear themselves.
A recommendation was offered that
a nominal fee of $1,000 per year be
charged the Fire Department. Mo-
tion was presented that the recon-
mendation be not considered and that
he firemen be granted free lights

which they use the hall. This mo-

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTIONS

The movement for Weekday In
struction for the pupils of the Wan-
seon Public chools was represented
before the Tuesday Club by Rev. C,
F. Evans and received unanimous en-
|. .dorsement. 1t is expected that re-
presentation of the plan will be made
before every organization interested
in community welfare.
The following five points cover
the status of the movement in Wau-
seon.
l. Weekday Religious Instruction
is actually being conducted in con-
nection with the Public Schools in a
number of cities and smaller COM
munities, Toledo, Ohio; Gary, Ind;
Van Vert, Ohio, being among the
most familiarity known. The Toledo
plan receives examination and favor
able comment in the current issue of
the Educational Review" of the
University of Chicago.
2. As every community varies
somewhat from every other, the de-
tails of the actual plan for Wauseon
will be adapted to local conditions.
The proposed instruction will be nom
sectarfan.
3. All pupils electing any course
of religious instruction must present
written permit from their parents
or guardians.
A. The financial support of the
movement is entirely voluntary and
will in no wise come from Public
School funds.
s.. An organization composed of
prominent men and women of Wau-
seon is seeking the movements en-
dorsement by the citizens. The COM
mittee consisting of Mrs. DIR. A. S.
Blake, DIR. sChas A. Cole and F. E.
Kenyon will appreciate encourage
nrent from any one interested in the
movement.

in its first appearance in the House
as the automobile tax bill was, but
it will be reconsidered and may pass

The Combination

We ask, dear Lord. in earnest prayer
That Thou wilt give US guiding care
That Spirit sense that feels the need
That calls for closer walk with Thee
The Faith that can in trial lead
From which all phantom ails will flee.
o, Lead us in the path of Right
Where Truth shall guide to needed light;
In faith and trust we come to thee
And ask that Thou wilt point the way;
Unfolding truths will make US free
To follow on to Perfect Day.
A CLEAN has come-I tread with hope
That we have reached the mornings dawn
And shall no more thro darkness grope,
With deeper darkness coming on
That union. like the Frightening East,
Will give the World glory feast
That gift of soul the might of mind,
With Natures forces is combined
These spurred by woodworking WILL :
CAT its demand none ever shirk)
Responding to its magic thrill
The whole combine will start at work.
But there's that Serpent, Appetite.
Whose greatest charm and chief delight
Is bringing us forbidden fruit;
Indulgence brings prostrating pains
Then Reason doth with charm dispute
Alone, his efforts are in vain.
For pain will follow broken laws
If naught is brought to thwart the cause;
Let FAITH and WILL determined stand
Rejecting all the Tempter brings
Obeying wisdom's high command
And you'll escape the Serpent Stings.
With forces of this wise combine
Will health and strength and joys align
With Christian Union DER the earth
Sectarian Creeds will disappear
Religion gain in strength and worth
By spreading Christly love and cheer.
Join fervent faith and holy trust
With "Gift of Soul' and strength of Will
And Natures forces they'll adjust
Fen wild distractions they can still
And thus, to this Gods grand combine,
World racking rankings we resign.
