THE PASSING OF THE RUDE.

Almost anyone can remember when
the boys Of the town used to ridicule
the boys from the farm, calling them
"clod-hoppers" "hayseeds', ''rubes''

II is rare that We hear such express

The 'hayseed" has passed on. In
his stead we have a rural business
man, student, country gentleman.
We who know intimately the farm

dress is not greatly different from the
dress of the average business man or
