LOOKING FOR THE BEAUTIFUL
IN COUNTRY LIFE

For his own part, if the writer had
to list offhand the country sights and
sounds that give him most delight, he
would mention:
The serenity and strength of an
cient oaks, unmoved by all the storms
Of a century;
The stately grace and majesty of
tall tulip trees with erect, fair trunks
wearing at great heights their crowns
Of green in summer and gold in au-
tumn;
The rich mellow note Of the rain
crow, uttering his prophecy in the
dampness of cloudy dawn;
The smell of hay and old haylofts;
The low song Of the corn-blades as
they grasp brotherly hands across the
furroys when winds blow over the
fields;
The grateful warmth of the spots
where the COWS lay as one goes to
| milk on wintry morning;
The clean white limbs of sycamores
against their background of green
| foliage;
| The rank and tropical, Amazon
suggesting luxuriance Of a squash
vine or pumpkin vine in full leaf and
blossom;
The ever-grateful smell Of freshly
plowed earth, and the prosperous
comfortable, "well-fed" feel of a rich
soil filled with humus:
The pungent, aromatic smell Of fat
lightwood, and the more subdueG
| fragrance of freshly cut oak;
The rare beauty Of form, SO much
loved by artists, of grape leaves anG
hanging grape punches;
The penetrating, mouth-waterins
fragrance Of ripe Scuppernongs a.
! dewfall in early September;
The rare beauty of a line Of long.
leaf pines silhouetted against twi
light sky;
The grace of well-kept meadows OF
lawns with struggling wild flowers OF
the edges reminding one Of Swim
burne's line
"Where tides of grass break int
foam Of flowers;
The cheerful, cherub-like babble o
little brooks as they hurry down t
the greater streams in the lowlands;
The unhurried but steady and re
sistless movement of the rivers a
!, they sweep majestically past over
hanging willows to their home in tn
far-off sea.

THE FARMERS RIGHT
TO A JOYOUS EXISTENCE.

Of course the man on the farm lives
more cheaply than the man in town.
1t is not 80 easy for the farmer to
spend money. There is not a 50-cent
moving picture show inviting his
purse every night, there is 10 JO-ccn,
ball game or 81 matinee almost con-
stantly asking the patronage of him.
thousand other things which are re-
garded as necessary expenses of
town life are not found in the coun-
try.
But if the farmer spends less for
these so-called advantages OF mod
ern life than townspeople spend, is
that any reason why he should re-
ceive less for his days work? Rather
should he rot receive "equal pay for
equal work and be able to use his
surplus in developing in the country
a compensating and parallel system
Of advantages adapted to the con-
ditions of rural life-public and pri-
vate libraries, individual and COM
munity music, community meeting
| places for music, sports. recreation,
| community drama, etc?
In short, the public must not as
sumo that all the agencies for social
pleasure are the peculiar right an6
privilege of the town worker, and that
therefore no allowance need be made
| for such expenditures in the country
| On the contrary, the farmer must
demand and get such wages as will
enable him to realize upon the pro
found declaration which former Sec
retary of Agriculture David F. Hous
| ton once made to the writer:
"The farmer is entitled to a joyous
existence"
Among the inalienable rights tina
our Revolutionary ancestors named a.
the heritage of every freeman ar,
"life, lierty, and the pursuit of hap
pineSs." But to what extent, we ma,
ask, has 'the pursuit of happiness
been recognized as right Of the Am
erican farmer, the farmers wife, ant
the farm children? Too often tn
farmer has been abused because-re
