MACHINERY IN COUNTRY LIFE

c. j. Galpin of the University of
Wisconsin's College of Agriculture,
draws an interesting parallel between
the "hoe farmer" and the machine
farmer" The hoe farmer, or old
fashioned farmer, struggled with
gravity and distance. He had to take
up the heavy soil Of his farm every
year and turn it over, each clod at a
time. He had to toll back and forth
over his land with each slow sue
cessive process. If he vas blowing
up a %fifty-acre tract of land, he must
walk 400 miles carrying the weight
of the heavy soil upon his plow.
1t was not surprising that he did
not have the energy after his long
day, to enter into social life and
cooperative business enterprise, or
that in many cases he never attained
the quick mental development that
a town living business man gets.
But when machinery enters into
country life, the farmer as we'll as
the farm is transformed. Abnormal
muscular strain is relieved: The
farmer becomes the skilled, think
ing craftsman, and director of mech
anical and technical operations. He
has more time to think, plan, and
study his work. He has more energy
left for business dealings and social
life.
With the farmers fast develop
ing into this new type, difficulties
once considered impossible become
easy to solve. The productiveness
Of the soils is going to be far more
than doubled, because a higher type
of man is working them. He will al
so develop the handling of his pro-
duct after it is harvested with far
greater business skill. He will turn
out a product at a lower price and
a greater profit. It is for the in
terest Of the entire country to assist
every farmer to get his machinery,
and thus attain this new character,
so many fine specimens of which can
be counted every day upon the
streets of Hope.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1919-12-25
O NORTH DAKOTA
NEW YEARS DAY

Human instinct from earliest time
has made much of the beginning Of
the new year. The completion of
another milestone is a notable event
in the life of a man or a nation. One
is reluctant to see the years slip into
the shadow, without making some
note Of their passage.
Harrassed by trials and drudgery,
many people are glad to see the old
year go, and look on to the new per-
iod without much pleasure. If one
has the right attitude, the star of
hope should always be shining along
the pathway ahead, ever if the clouds
linger over present scenes
Each year ought to bring new gifts
and experience and achievements.
The wayfarer has paid down one year
of his life, and if he has been wise
he has made old Father Time give
him some fruitions in return. He
will not wish to live over the past,
but he will look ahead confident that
he can avoid some previous mistakes,
and attain results previously Ii of
reach.
CHEEKY hearted people like to
laugh at the passing years and show
that they are just as young as ever
In these %droughty times, New Year
will not be the halcyon and vocifer'
Gus time of yore. But people will
lfind that they can celebrate without
~creating the raw material for a sicl
headache. The dancing crowd will
feel that the dramatic moment o.
= midnight adds a new zest to theil
frolicsome feet.
III In the silent churches and man!
quiet homes, waiting hearts will lis
$ ten for the booming bells that an
: nounce n more journey completed
$ around the great circle. In thes'
? thoughtful scenes the mind seems t,
: rise above the limitations of eartl
and to realize the vastness Of tn
e universe. God will be thanked TO
v many mercies. The heart will cheer
fully open the door to the veile'
unseen that lies beyond.

BOY SCOUTS IN COUNTRY TOWNS

Boy Scout work accomplishes at
least three things: 1. 1t makes boys
observant. 2. 1t trains boys to take
hold Of community work. 8. It
gives them drill work which makes
them think and act quickly.
These qualities are exactly what
the country boy needs. A group of
o~bservant, public spirited, and quick
thinking boys would revolutionize
the life of their home town in ten
years. Every country village should
have n or more troops of this or
~ganization. The country minister
could do no better work than train
himself for scout leadership.

Blinded, but in Command.

On Sept. Is Capt. John H. Patton,
Temporarily blinded by mustard gas
and aching with pain, had his order
ly lead him abou1 while he gave or
ders to his men. He continued in
command till night. Capt. Patton dis
liked trenches because it took time
to traverse them. So he got bicycle
and used to ride up and down on
No Mans land giving his orders from
the bicycle. German machine gun
ners tried unsuccessfully to knock
him of. Finally a German shot the
spokes out of the wheel and ruined
the bicycle.
On Aug. the Eighth lost their
only prisoner. Private William Nor
ris, who was overwhelmed by a super
ior number Of Germans. It was be-
lieved he had been killed. In a Bel
gian town one day later comrades
found a German periodical with a
picture of the giant Negro trooper,
grinning at plainly puzzled German
officer. Col. Roberts brought that
picture back with him.
