BACK TO THE FARM

The number of families deserting the farms and ing the cities has not decreased despite the vigorous attempt of the to point out the folly of this m0yement.
 The chief factor back of this foolish movement is the desire of the family of the farmer to mngle with the pleasure seeking and shftess hrongs of the big city; to enjoy the butterfly life under the bright lights and to live what they imagine is life of mingled work and play.
 And this they may do, long their money lasts.
 But the reaction is certain to come Possibly in six

LITTLE STORY FROM "LIFE" SHOWS
 TRUE SPIRIT OF LEGION

How thoroughly the reputation Of the American Le- zion for living up its ideals has been established in the minds of Americans is we'll shown in article in Life" " in the issue of May 20. Appearing in publi cation not only independent but opposed to certain leg slaton asked by the Legon the article is expected to increase immensely the LegiOns already great stock of good will, and to go far in showing the Legion is not working for any selfish interest.
 The article in ''Lfe'' follows in ful

 O'Bren the head of family of six, waived exemp- tiOn because he believed others knew better than he where he would be needed when the call came He landed in class IA, and went-wthout beefing ask ing why. He wounded three times and gassed and after nine months in the hospitals discharged the berculOsis.

possible to do nothing but eat, sleep
and be amused. The only trouble was
they would not let him stay there.
On her return trip the Callao had
not been three days out from Rio
when Senior Juan appeared on deck.
He liked the cuisine on the Callao, and
having been on her before felt more
at home while cruising toward his
island of complete satisfaction.
The Callao arrived here yesterday
and Juan greeted the immigration Off
Gals like loved ones. They tore him
loose and looked at him disapprovingly
while they read on the ships manifest

Juan Geronimo Garcia, of Seville, is
a man of twenty years and of keen ap-
precautions. He likes good food, but
it must be free. He likes music. 1t
need not be good. but it must be free.
He prefers a bed to sleep on. It is
not essential that it be downy but it
must be free. And he believes that
moving pictures are boon and a
source of first class amusement to man,
woman and child-when they are free.
1t was in last May that Juan Geroni-
mo Garcia discovered such Utopia
of contentment and TEST. Growing
weary of trying to keep out Of the
rains which fall on Rio de Janeiro in
the spring, he secluded himself on
board the steamship Callao, OF the
Munson Line, when she stopped there
on her way to New York. Immi grafton
authorities here took him to Ellis ISL
and and on May 20 put him on board
the Callao again to return to Rio de
Janeiro.
But Juan Geronimo Garcia was an
exalted being. There was love in his
eye, longing in his heart, and determ-
nation IN his bearing. He had found

trivance of death with firm tread and
was pronounced dead nine minutes af-
ter he entered the room.

potatoes, ice cream and iced tea. War
den Lewis f. Lawes brought him some
cigars and asked if there was anything
he could do for tim.
"There's nothing on earth l want"
