WHERE HAVE THEY GOMEZ

What has become of the old fash
toned home
With it's loved ones around the
hearth,
Where only joys and pleasures
come.
And hearts are filled with mirth.
The merry lad with his honest face
Starts out in life's bright morning,
And the maiden fair and full of
grace
With smiles her happy home
adjoining.
Where are the fathers that loved
their home
The best off all earthly places,
Where are the mothers that loved
to come,
With happy and bright smiling faces.
The father is playing cards today
And spending the cash his family
needs.
Mother has gone to the club they
say,
To gossip about her neighbours deeds.
The boy with his happy face is
gone.
He is roaming at large in the world
today,
And the maiden fair is at the ball,
Or out in the streets In robes so gay.
The life at home has no charm for
them,
All they want is an idle at ease,
And cash for every useless need
Not caring If they pain or please.
Where are the groups of happy
children
That gathered around the family
board,
With trusting hearts and love that
turned them
From the outside world to home
adored
Today we miss their laughter peal.
They pass with reckless haste and
word,
Out in the street beneath the
autos wheel
Their pittifull screams are often
heard.
Where are the old time happy
days.
Where the dear old horse in his joy
and pride,
The Garage drew in his own proud
way,
And all the family loved to ride.
The dear old horse is turned down
at last,

The farmer has not always made
the farm attractive to his son. You

him a pine knot fire by which to
read when the world offers him
electric lights, a library, and read

the pleasures, amusements, books,

of him.

He goes too slow; we must hurry

So the tractor Ii pulling the plow.
Deep, meath the waves of the ocean

Once upon time traveller was
making his way through the Ozark
mountains of nawthern Arkansaw.
Night overlook him before he sue
ceeded in reaching one of the small
towns of the vicinity and he finally
pulled up at shack In the wilder
ness, being greeted as he alighted
from his boss by several houn' dawgs.
He was hailed from the doorway by
the owner of the shack, who, with
his wife and eight children, were the
occupants of the one-room structure.
The man and woman babe the trav-
eler welcome, and he enjoyed a
bountiful meal (such as 1t was)
After supper the children began
yawning, showing that they were
about ripe for bed. The room con-
tanned but one bed, by the way.
The mother undressed one child,
bnt Shawl On tAC bGu &AN 49,
soon as the kid had dropped off to
sleep, she and her husband carefully
lifted 1t off and laid 1t gently on
the floor. This process was repeated
until all the children were neatly
stacked around the room on the floor,
and then the man remarked: well,
stranger, / reckon we kin now go ter
bed. Ye must be tired out" The
traveller took the hint, and being
very tired after his journey, soon
drifted off into heavy slumber. In
the morning when he awoke he found
that he was occupying the floor with
the kids, while the man and his wife
slumbered serenely in the bed.

Rescued from drowning by his
friends, after hard work, only to be
poisoned by hootch, was the expert

Dougherty had gone swimming

has not always considered his posi-
ton in the dignifed way he should.
In fact, IT is only in recent years
that ne has been made to realize the
scientific side OF his work. Prior to
that time he was really a trespasser
on the soil; he was robber; an in
CRATE. He scratched the soil; he
.nutilated It; he robbed it of its pro-
ducing power. Any farmer who
does not give back to the soil
proportionate part of that which
he takes from it is an embezzler,
not only Of Gods Providence, but
also Of Natures bounty.
The farmer did not have the right
attitude toward his own son. He
worked him because he was his son.
That was unfair and dishonest. He
should have considered his son a
partner and shareholder in the la
bors, responsibilities, liabilities, as
sets and profits of the farm. He
