SOCIAL LIFE IN THE COUNTRY.

one hears considerable these days about the lack
Of social life in the districts and the drabness
that accompanies living the farm. 1t is likely
that these conditions exaggerated the life
in the cities and towns is magnied in attractive
that the comparison creates feeling of dis
content on the part Of country folk
1t is true that urban communities offer
Inducements TO pleasure that are found IN the
rural districts but when It is considered that all
life is relative-that its appreciation depends upon
comparison with something else-the country still
offers some things that worth while.
The grange has done much to maintain the social
life of the rural communities. and families for
eral miles around are drawn together on stated
occasions for program that is both instructive
and entertaining. These grange programs do much
to overcome the feeling that nothing of desr-
able character is found in the rural districts
The singing school the writing school and the
spelling as plentiful they should be,
for they would contribute to appreciation of the
things that make life in the country attractive 1t
is certain Cupid carry his designed
work at one of these meetings in the country even
effectively than the shows of the city.
1t may be too much to urge residents of the
the attractiveness their
social life by return TO some the things that
meant so much to country people in other days,
just now when the lure of the city is so strong;
but the time is coming wien the trend will be
toward the country, and many of the ideas learned
in the cities will be adapted to life in the country.
Better roads rural. mail. the telephone and the
increasing use of automobiles will have their effect
making life the country more attractive.
Much of the arthcality Of city life will be revealed
and many persons will be glad to the
natural life when nature is found in her most
soothing moods.

More Truth

By JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
THE RAT.

He never has had access to
The ample page of kno Wedge:

A brain constructing college;

Yet furtively and slyly
He almost always gains MS ends
And lives the life of Reilly.
His tribe somehow cOntrives 10 eat,
Destroy or ruin nearly
Ten million dollars worth of
wheat
And oats and barely yearly
Despite the fact that every one
Throughout an angry nation
Is bent, with poison, trap and gun
On their humiliation.
They come and go where'er they
please;
They go on wild carouses
Or sit about in idle ease
In most exclusive houses.
They toll not, neither do they spin.
SubsiSttng with a cheerful grin
Upon their human neighbors.
We swell our chests and brag and
spout
And fancy we are clever
In fact that we are Just about
The greatest beings ever
Yet when we grid at Mr.. Rat
And bitterly abuse him,
j often have reflected that
We really must amuse him.
