II is our opinion that the busy man who has
two middle names and has time TO use them both
isn't very busy.
Some men are so doggone cautious that they
never get anything done.
When a man makes a pTomissory noe u goes
out and sits on his doorstep and waits for him.
A woman is smart enough not to ask for ad-
vice until she is sure that she will get the kind
she wants.
\ little knowledge isn't half as dangerous as
a lot of knowledge of something that isn't so.
AS a matter of fact, any man who agrees with
you is a broad-minded man in your opinion.
After a man has succeeded in fooling his wife
he forgets that there are rules that work both
ways.
And the greedy man who wants the earth Is
bound to have a lot of mud thrown in his di'
rection.
The man who hires the show girls for the bis
musical reviews may not know much about Ell
quette, but he knows a lot about good form.

NaKE FARM LIFE MORE ATTRACTIVE.

a. 90 the eravest causes for concern in this
.,,,trv today. from an economic point of view
is the continual drift of the people from the
,ountrv into the cities. one of the reasons given
Tor the desertion of the farms and the crowd
.ng into the large centers of population Is the
attractions and advantages offered by the city
that the country does not afford.
The problem of those who are trying to keep
the coming generation on the farm is how 10
make farm life sufficiently attractive to hold
them there. No doubt one of the necessary
steps to be taken is to make the country lie
safer. The farmer goes off into the fields TO
work, or he goes to town with a load OF proouce'
The women folk are practically alone In the
house without protection. All kinds OF crimes
are possible as a result. In the city the husband
and father goes to work in the morning knowing
that there is a policeman on nearly every cor
ner. or one is within easy call. At least there
is police headquarters that can be reached by
telephone and an alarm would bring a whole
x,uad of policemen TO the scene in almost a
moments notice. The same thing applies in the
case of fire.
But there is no such organization as this In
the country at the present time. Here Is wnere
the state police force would come In. II the
farmer knew that every day a state trooper
would ride past his place keeping a lookout
for anything suspicious, even If it was only once
a day, it would give a certain sense of security
The women folk would see that there was some
protection afforded them, after all. The very
feeling that there is such a %patrolman doing
duty somewhere in the vicinity would help a
great deal to remove the sense of isolation that
the average country resident now feels in con-
trast to the CITY resident.
1t i. freely acknowledged that life in the
country has got to be brought up more nearly
to the standard of living in the city IL the future
generations are going to be held on the farms
where they are needed. There is no question
that a state police force is going to go a great
ways toward making people living on the farms
more contented; the contrast between the coun-
try and city, as far as advantages and protec-
ton go, is not going to be so great.
If Governor Edwards decides to veto the
state constabulary bill that has passed both
houses Of the legislature the measure ought
to be enacted again In spite OF the governors

He might have left it there; but he

Here's something to Worry About!

We do not know just what It IS all about, but
we discovered this in the editorial columns of
the revered Dayton (Ohio) Herald:
1.-The examples chosen were taken from
phrases involving The use of the copula or the
so-called verb to be- which is not a verb at all.
In Arabic, the verb to be is not expressed. You
are supposed to know it is there. Therefore it
governs no case, accusative or nominative, and
there is a real reason for having the same case
after it as before It because the subject and
compliment are really in opposition"

that if everyone would drink a quart

better health and longer life would
result. If the dairy industry would
spend as much money as Post did to
introduce Postum, his health drink,
there would be no such thing as the
present low price period for dairy
products. People need milk; they
should be educated as to it's value.
