Zach year, about this time, as we
sign the check for the first months

70 save up enough to buy a farm. This
time our resolution went farther than
ever before. 1t was not passing fancy
Our will sustained US through the ef-
tort OF procuring a catalogue. Prob

that Lewis Rathbone bought thirty
acre farm in Chenango County for $500
and raised from one small field over
$500 worth of cabbages, $50 more than
the cost Of the whole farm"
In way it is an enticing story, and
yet 1t does not persuade US. Three
hundred and fifty dollars worth of cab
oage would not bring happiness and
contensment to US, because we fear
that, for all our nascent resolution, we
should never be able to earn enough
70 get corned beef to go with it. Natu-
rally we would not even consider the
Feasibility of giving anybody lien
upon our cabbages, because we know
our drama we'll enough to want no
truck with mortgages. No, sir, we're
not gong to have any grasping deacon
turn our cabbages out into a binding
snowstorm.
Our first thought about farm was
that it would be a place where the city
dweller could escape from RESPONSE
bility, place without rent or traction
strikes or elevator boys. But the far
ther we 60 into our catalogue the more
we find that each Of the characters
from Lewis Rathbone on is Of an ad-
venturous turn which is quite beyond
our present capacity. zone hundred

horses, ten cows, hog, flock of hens,

chine and five milk cans" 1t must
be that the fierce strain of newspaper
work, with musical comedy and bedroom
farce and murder mystery play piling
one on top of another, has left nothing
but shattered hulk. The thought of
anybody throwing in at US ten COWS,
two horses and hog is terrifying, but
probably there is nothing to fear. We
have never been known as quick

For US there is menace even in the
five milk cans. We know what H. Sd

can do with nothing more than a wooden
spoon and a frying pan.
So romantic and venturesome a bust
ness is this matter of buying farm
that in most cases the catalogue does
not even disclose just where the prop
erty is situated. Probably the present
owners don't want to spoil the pur-
chaserss fun by denying him the priv
ilege of being surprised whep he gets
there. OF course, there is always a
hint or two such as, "ten minutes walk
to good village" "convenient to hust-
ling r. R. town." or "easy drive to
big industrial city" That is all very
we'll for the young and the footloose,
but we cannot afford to pay our money
and then find that "the big industrial
city is Moscow. More than that there
is an unfortunate lack of frankness
about the cows and horses which are

soil" or something Of the kind, which
Identifies it to US accurately and COM
pletely and as a rule there is an
abundance OF information about the
house, which rs set down as "nine-room
cottage, painted" or "cozy dwelling"
but there is never a word about the
character of the horses or thee cows
with which you will have to live. These
farm owners are as casual as Richard
Ill, who, as may be remembered, when
asked to define. a horse. replied simply.
"a horse, a horse"
We have nc such ell-embracing feel
ing for animals. For our part we like
to study past performances and the
SIX best beta before we commit our
self. And take cows. We are not ex-
actly sure of the source of our in
formation, but somehow we seem to
remember having been told that milk
comes from contented cows. There is
nothing in the catalogue to show
whether any of the cows mentioned
are contented or not One dairyman,
to be sure, admits very frankly that
his farm is "ten miles from Batavia"
but 1t doesn't seem to US that that
would make much difference with COW
one way or another.
AS far as we've gone in our quest
practically all the farms are too
unitarian. They are crowded with
cattle and corn and beehives and pota-
toes. That is not the sort of farm
upon which we have set our heart. We
want an old house with a new roof,
a swimming hole, a brook with lust
the suggestion Of trout, a meadow dis
orderly with daisies, a tree with some
shade, but good reading light In fact,
we want such farm that we can stand
upon our broad acres and reply to the
p:sserby who asks, "Hows crops ?"
Not one on the whole place, thank

Bedtime Stories
The Little Rabbit Wants to Go Home
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Though home be simple and plain and small
IT'S the dearest, loueliest place of aU

A great load was lifted from Peter
Rabbit when his nose touched the nose
OF his runaway son through the wire
netting Of Farmer Browns hen yard.
AT that touch he knew that no harm
had come to the little runaway. To be
sure, he was prisoner in that hen
yard, but he was we'll and safe.
And at the touch Of those two noses
that little Rabbit suddenly felt as if
he hadn't care or worry in the world,
For long time they kept their noses
together. Then Peter told his small
son how worried his mother had been
and still was and how he (Peter) had
hunted and hunted everywhere for him.
And as Peter talked about home and
the dear Old Briar-patch feeling OF
homesickness swept over that little
rabbit, and the dear Old Briar-patch
seemed to him the most beautiful and
the most wonderful and the very best
place in all the Great World.
Il want to 60 home. want to 60
home!" he sobbed. please take me
home. I'll never. never run away or
dlsobey again. Truly, never will"
~ hope you never wili," replied
Peter gravely. II hope YOU have

Il have. Please take mo home"
"First, tell me how you happen to be
here" replied Peter.
So the little Rabbit sat down and
told from beginning to end all about
his adventures from the time when he
discovered that he was lost to the And
ing Of him by Farmer Browns boy.
Peter listened with growing wonder
tHat the Iittlo scamp had managed to
escape all those dangers. When he was
told how gentle Farmer Browns boy
had been Peter suddenly felt ashamed
to think that he ever had doubted
Farmer Browns boy. He thoNght Of
the very thing Farmer Browns boy had
thought Of. "Probably," thought Peter,
"iY he hadn't brought this young scam D
Of mine home here Bowser the Hound
would have gone back TO the old stone
wall the very first chance he got and
things might not have ended SO well.

the right thing after ALL
Once more the little Rabbit began to
beg to be taken home. "Havc YOU

In answer to a question Cohen said

stone would cost in the neighb borhood

probably based his estimate on that
figure" '""'
Cohen said he was misled because he
thought the job was an ordinary ono,
and it was not until he had seen the
plans and specifications that he became
aware that the extraordinary size of
the blocks required would raise the
price considerably. The hearing was
adjourned until next Tuesday, when
the granite interests are expected to be
heard.

1t was brought out at the investiga-

which he said that the cost of Indiana
limestone would be nc-third that of
granite and that the construction work
in limestone could be executed in one
third the time.
Cohen admitted that this was a gross
exaggeraton: He said that in his

We'll look again"
so Peter went quite around that hen
yard on the outside and the little Rab-
bit went quite around that hen yard on
the inside, looking for hole BY which
the little Rabbit could get out. But
there was no hole. There wasn't a sign
| OF hole. The little Rabbit couldn t
get out and Peter couldn't get in.
"WcIl have to make a hole" said
Peter.
I But just then there was that same
dreadful shifting sound which the IL
tic Rabbit had heard when he had first
seen bowser the Hound down IN the
patch or sweet clover near the old
stone wall. Peter knew what it was in

TOO often not to know it. "Goodhv " !"
he whispered hastily. "Bowser Tho
Hound is coming and l must 20 nut

Then Peter left hurriedly. A mo-
