after a rather heated discussion on
the wage and seniority questions
the store clerk said to the GUS
toner: "1f you can't get what you
want you had better take what
you can get" and the man left the
store.
The customer shortly after came
back and ordered one quart of ice
cream. What kind?" asked the
clerk. strawberry and chocolate" /"

FARM VS.. CITY LIFE
DEBATED AT MEET
OF K|WAN|S CL j B
ARGUMENT FOR RURAL EXIST.
ENcE is VOTED WINNER IN
CONTEST HELD YESTERDAY AT
MONDAY LUNCHEON.

Country and city life were arraigned
against each other in contest for
supremacy at the noon session OF the
Kiwanis club yesterday.
The upholdors of agricultural con-
tentment and prosperity were Miss
Nelma Monroe, farm home adviser,
and Henry Schmidt, the well known
grower of grain and live stock north
Of Ottawa. Handling the cudgel of ar
gumcnt in defense of the culture and
commercialism of the city were Carl
j. Markhus, business manager of
Luther College, and Samuel Mosby, in
structor in that institution. This
team represented the Rotary club and
the former team the Kiwanis.
Professor Mosby expressed his APP
probation of the many good things
TO be found in both city and country.
but expressed regret that there was
so little of distinctive rural life. He
averrcd that country people depended
too much on the city for their social
enjoyment and similar activities. He
said the farmers in England main
tanned among themselves genuine
distinctive rural life. Miss Monroe
declared that there was more real
rural life in this country than many
people imagined She took the posi-
ton that home life on the farms was
superior to home life in the city. Par
ents and their children on the farm
could be found usually at home, but
in the city the home generally speak
ing, did not appear to be very popu-
lar and the members of the family
usually were away seeking their en-
tertainment in society affairs. Carl
Markhus said he was half farmer and
half city man and liked both kinds of
life. He spoke of the educational adj
vantages of the city and the MANY OPP
portunities it afforded for the acquire
mcnt of knowledge of different kinds.
Henry Schmidt declared that more
farmers than CITY people made a sur
cess of life Many farm home now.
adays included modern improvements
and had everything for convenience
and comfort Estates that were filed
in the Probate Court indicated that
the farmers had the best of II when
it came to the accumulation of prop
erty. Mr.. Schmidt suggested that
God made the country and man made
the town, and that man seemed nearer
to nature and nature Is God down on
the farm.
It was most interesting debate
and enjoyed by the large number Of
kiwanians it attracted. President Re-
for decided that the apostles of the
farm won the contest.
Miss Mary Waller sang charminglv
and won the golden opinion of her
hearers.
