home use. 1t is also evident that a
very unfavorabl season might make
production considerably less than do
mestic need.
The danger of shortage of bread
stuffs is practically abolished by the
fact that we have a carry-over from
the bumper crop of last year of about
100. 100000 bushels. But it is clear
that the United States has passed the
day when its food production is vastly
more than its need.
At the root of the matter lies the
fact that the. farmer, despite many
claims to the contrary, is not making
enough money to keep him on the
farm. He cannot make interest on
the money invested in his land and
also a fair wage for himself 1t pays
him better to sell the land, invest the
money at per cent. and himself get
a job in a factory. This would be the
expedient thing for considerable
percentage of all farmers to do. Habit
and devotion to the soil are all that
keep many of them on the job of food
production.
The prices of foodstuffs are high
enough, as all will agree, but farmers
are not getting large enough share
of the money. Better methods of dis
tribution, involving fewer naiddlemen-
and less waste, say the experts, are
necessary to insure maximum food
production in America

DREAMERS.
oh, man must dream of gladness wherever
his pathways lead,
And hint of something better is written
in every creed;
And nobody wakes at znerninS but hopes
ere the day is. DER
To have come TO richer pleasure than
ever he's known before.
For man is dreamer ever. He glimpses
the hills afar
And plans FOR the joys off yonder where
all his tomOrrows are;
When trials and cares beset him. in the
distance he still can see
A hint of a future splendid and the glory
that is 70 be.
There's never man among us but cherishes
dreams of rest.
We toll for that something better than that
which is now our pest;
Oh, whatsif the cup be bitter and what if
we're racked with pain?
There are wonderful days to follow when
never wen grieve again.
Back of the sound of the hammer, and
back OF the kissing steam.
And back of the hand at the throttle, is
ever a lofty dream:
All of US, great or humble, look over the
present need
To the dawn of the glad tomorrow which
is promised in every creed.

Predictions that the rural popula-

ported by census reports thus far
made public. Instead, these reports
indicate that the total number OF
farms in the country will be found to
exceed those reported in 1910 by fully
100000. But chief interest of the
public lies In the number of farmers
rather than in the number OF farms.
Farms without workers will avail lit

But you could weep with pity for
the girl whose dreams were to be
swept away so soon. They might have
left her her illusions. They might
have let her hide the sordidness of
every day living even from her own
eyes with her cloak of romance. but
no one took the trouble to do it. They
walked her from her dream. and life
became ashes and dust and einders in
her teeth.
The girl you left behind you was SO
full of faith in all that is fine and
high. and she had ideals, that reached
to the stars. She trusted life and was
unafraid. She believed in humanity
and ached to be of service to it. Her
faith and love was a religion.

the years and experience took from the
girl her beliefs, one by one, and
changed her into the suspicious. Gym

her fear. Ingratitude made her dis

She was going to do great things. She
was going to write a book. or compose

When she married she was not
going to sink into the rut of small
domestic interests that other women
fail into, but she was going to live a
broad free life full of intellectual and
artistic interests. She was going to be
a wife who would keep her husband
keyed up to the best that was in him,
a mother who would develop her chill
dren into supermen and superwomen,
a housekeeper whose home was run
without jar or friction, as il by magic.

We find the matter of placing
ourselves in Philadelphia politics one
of exceeding difficulty. We suppose
that, as good citizen. we should
hold Senator Penrose and his crowd
of reactionary followers in scorn and
contempt 1t seems to be the thing
to do. But. on the other hand. gentle
men who can pick and hold the soft
spots in politics without pretending
they are doing it in behalf of the peo-
pie just naturally compel our admira-
ton.
Possibly the trouble is that we have
fed SO long on the professional good
man in politics that We are stated with
the delicacy. We hail from a section
of the country in which every states
man is wont to bedew the shoulders
of the people with the tears of his
concern for them. 1t has been our
fortune to know only those political
the inspiring strains OF full brass
band. One who does not even carry
horn allures us.
Upon the diplomatic phases of the
French invasion Of Germany We have
no opinion to offer. We leave that TO
the gentlemen south by east. But as
a concrete proposition. We regard it
as the greatest outrage perpetrated
upon any nation since the Belgian
army marched thru Germany in 1913.

Mary was to be married in the Lit

I've wanted to be married in that
church ever since I was a poor little
kiddie peeking thru the fence and
thinking it was like heaven in there"
she told US when we asked where she
was going to have the ceremony.
There won't be anybody there ex-
cept you boys and girls. and two or
three friends of Gardeners. But

And as 1 want her to feel married,
l think she had better have her way"
Gardner looked proudly at the bright
girl who-without help from anyone.
without relatives, almost without a
friend-had made a place for herself,
and had kept good and sweet.
We had given her our present. She
was to be married the next day. They
were to go away for a couple OF
weeks. then go directly to their home.
The furniture would all be in, and
they would only have to put it in
place.

own at last, cried as if her heart
would break for a moment. Then
she raised her head and said:
