The Farm and
the Farmer
BY william r. sanborn

At a Wayne county farm sale last
Friday range 8 years old, and a coal
stove which had been in use 10 years,
sold for trifle more than the original
cost, according to the clerk OF the sale,
who is connected with a Richmond
bank
The man of the house told him at the
windup what the stoves had cost, Just
80 less than they brought. We per-
sonally know of a case where a farm
wife made her hubby drive 20-odd
miles to farm sale, recently, because
she had read that some rugs and
linoleum were to be sold.
What's the reason for this? You
figure it out. But this little story certi-
fies to one thing-the ladies read farm
sale ads, not merely in farm homes,
but in towns. You can find 100 women
at any sale where there is 100 Jars of
homemade preserves, jellies, ETC., ad-
vertised, and in almost any kind of
weather.
They Strike Against Farmers.
One of the oldest strikes we know Of
is now being pulled off by the city
hucksters at Buffalo. They have with
drawn their outfits from the streets
because the city authorities have
granted the farmers and market gard
eners the right to "peddle" their
wares without license, in order to
lower the cost of such supplies to the
consumer.
The permits were given to the far
mers by the mayor, as IAN emergency
measure, to insure summer time
prices in an era Of plenty" Farmers
who have been wholesaling to buck
sters have found no huckster GUS
toners since the strike was called, nor
have the commission men.
Clearing Warehouse For Apples.

unusually large this year, and the

The state food commissioner has
taken up the matter of moving the

the British government, and with other
parties, in order to make room for
apples this winter. Should any one

WHERE IS ARMENIA,
AND WHY A MANDATE?

President Wilson asks the people OF
the United States, through Congress,
TO accept a mandate" for Armenia
under his already d~iscredited theory
regarding a League Of Nations. This
the people OF the United States will
not do.
There are several very good reasons
why the American people have no
stomach for guaranteeing the integrity
of the far-away territory Of Armenia.
One reason Is that the military mis-.
sion which investigated the situation
In the near east has reported that the
acceptance IF such q mandate by the
| United States would mean the main
tenance In Armenia Of an army oil
some sixty thousand American boys
| We have a better use for u young
men than keeping them in the stencil
ing pest-holes Of Turkey to do police
work among a disease-ridden popula'
ton.
Another reason Is that the estimat'
ed cost of maintaining this police
force Is in the neighborhood OF 500,
OOO, 600 a year. America can find a
better use for the money OF her tax
payers than pouring 1t down the rat
hole In Europe's dirty back yard.
Still another reason for keeping our
fingers off Armenia Is that the effort
to entangle us in the whirlpool OF
easter Europe Is nothing
more nor less than an attempt to
shift the burden Of protecting the
land that Great Britain and France
will exploit commercially, possibly to
our own commercial disadvantage.
And lastly the very best reason why
we will not comply with the request
of President Wilson is that the aver
age American citizen, who will be
called upon to foot the bill OF the
army Of occupation has not the slight
est idea In the world where Armenia
is and why we should NEEDLE in
It's affairs.

GET KNOWLEDGE OF COUNTRY
Japanese School Children Go on Out
ings as Part Of Their System
of Education.

In Japan, beyond all other lands, the
whole world goes outing. Wherever
the traveller wanders he meets crowds
of people on the highways, Frederick
Starr writes. These people fall into
three we'll marked classes. Everywhere
one sees school children on excursion.
There may be half a dozen with one
teacher or there may be hundreds with
their teachers. They are out to view
the landscape, to see places famous in
the national history, to visit the scenes
Of old legends, to examine in detail the
various processes of art industries. It
Is considered as important a part Of
the school curriculum that the children
should settings and become ~acquaint-
ed with nature. with national history
and with practical sources of wealth
as 1t Is that they should know arith-
metic, grammar or history. They are
out for an hour, a day, a week, or a
vacation period. When / first visited
Miyajima I met a group Of 40 school
boys with two teachers, who had al
ready been two weeks on their ex-
cursion and had seer many interesting
things on their way to the exposition
at Fukuoka, in the southern islands.
The night before they had been trav-
cling until after midnight and now
they had before them q journey which
would keep them up until the early
hours Of the morning; although they
were so tired that they could hardly
stand they were full Of enthusiastic
anticipation for the experiences that
lay ahead. The Japanese are very
wise in making these excursions an
important feature of their school sys-
tenn.

Mussel culture in France-where It
Is carried on more extensively than
anywhere else. originated SO far back
as 1926, when an Irish ship was
wrecked near La Rochelle.
One of the rescued sailors, James
Walton. being hard put to 1t for a liv.
ing, conceived the plan Of setting nets
on poles for the capture Of sea-fowl at
night, the muddy shores of the bay be-
ing ~frequented by these birds In large
numbers.
Before long he noticed that myriads
OF young mussels became attached to
the stakes, and that, being above the
level Of the mud, these grew rapidly.
Thereupon he interlaced branches Of
trees between the stakes, thus forming
a kind Of wicker-work, which also
became coated with mussels.
Walton's example was followed by
some OF the natives Of La Rochelle,
and an industry was started which has
now hourished for close on 500 years.

TOO MUCH MONEY

Sometimes we wonder If it is good
for the American people to have SO
much money. OF conrse the natural
instinct Of a man Is to accumulate as
much money as possible, and money
is a decided necessity these days. But
1t Is possible to have too much Of a
good thing. The war has made Amer
lea fabulously rich, the envy of all
nations. Men who in 1914 had nothing
are comfortably well off. Others
who had a modest sum six years ago
are now rolling in wealth.
The resultP You see it every day.
In the cities it is more apparent than
In the country towns. In the big
cities no manufacturer will produce,
no middlemdn will distribute, and no
merchant will sell an article at a
reasonable profit. All seem to want
to get rich quick. Employees demand
prohibitive wages, work about as they
please, and in many cases are becom-
ing about as inefficient as can be
imagined. Instead OF the owner
being the master Of his own business,
his hired help practically tells him
where to get Oft.
The war produced the proiteer, and
for the sake of easy money he refuses
to loosen his grip upon the country.
Buildings are thrown together in slip
shod manner and inferior materials
are used, all for the sake of cutting
expenses and increasing profits to
abnormal. In the manufacturing
world it is the same. Quality is sac
rificed for profits, or where quality
does prevail the price becomes almost
prohibitive. OF course there are
some exceptions to this rule, but the
exceptions are few and difficult to
find. The ease with which money
has been accumulated during the past
six years has produced this state of
affairs. 1t is not conducive to the
future welfare of the country, but
we have faith in America and the
American people.
We are In the temporary grip of a
historical mania for the rapid &C.
emulation of wealth, but we believe
that this mania will pass away in
time and permit a return to the sane
and rational methods which prevailed
prior to the outbreak of the war, but
it will take time and we must employ
infinite patience in bringing it about.
Americans are too sensible to travel
far en- the road that leads to destruc-
ton. Even the lure of unlimited
gold a not deprive them entirely Of
their common sense.
