World is Awakening TO Need of
Rural Growth, Says Scientist

A world awakening in country life is
seen by DR.. Kenyon L. Butterfield,
president of the Massachusetts agri-
cultural college, Amherst, lecturing at
the summer session of Columbia uni
versity, from which a nationwide
movement for rural school betterment
is being directed.
China has followed Americas lead
and India is responding to the same in
fluences, according to DR.. Butterfield,
who also asserts hat Russia's future
depends upon cooperation Of the peas
antry.
Perhaps the main feature of the
! country life movement in America is
| the increase in the number of agencies
dealing with the problem" says DR..
| Butterfield. THE National Council of
| Agencies engaged in rural social work
| has a membership of nearly % organ
i~zations, associations and government
bureaus.
Constitutes Landmark.
THE organization and work of the
| American Country Life association
] with it's long and its notable national
( conferences, may be said to constitute
a landmark in American country life
! development.
"a somewhat similar movement has
! taken place in Canada. In England
the latest activities are connected
with the improvement of the status OF
farm laborers in the small rural will
ages. In Belgium a rather notable or
ganization is pushing the idea of the
home as a definite educational enter
prise. In France, in the work of re
Mobilization, the building of commun,
ity centers in the farm villages has
met with a good deal of favor.
IF we think of the country life
movement in the broader definition
of the term, we find Il remarkable
new interest all over the world. China
has held for the first time in its his
tory, a national convention dealing
with agricultural education particul
arly, but including the whole agricul
tural problem, and especially the de
velopment of the Chinese farming will
age in all its aspects.
~Peasantry Needed.
"Tn Russia it is evident that The
whole future of the country depend:
upon the attitude. the intelligence anC
the co operation of the p~easantry. II
India one of the most significan
topics for discussion is the education
of the rural village.
There is one special feature of the
movement that is worth noting. Tha.

'CEFCIAGO, H., Aug. 9.-Wheat-Re-
CARELESS of the government report
which was slightly bullish on wheat,
the market did not hold the gain it
made on the opening range. Selling
came n evidence shortly after the
opening and kept the market in a
weakened condition. There was no
cash wheat worked for export over
night and the little foreign business
tnat came in was quickly absorbed.
The London conference came into the
hmelight as a factor in the commodity
and importers on the other side were
not inclined to be purchasers at the
present time. Cash prices were I'M
changed. Reports from Canada were
of a pessimiStic nature, indicating that
when the movement started up that
the demand would not be equal to the
supply.
Corn-Corn displayed weakness at
the beginning and throughout the day.
The government figures brought hqul-
dalton and beyond some slight firm
ness al one time early in the day the
market was under pressure. At the
low levels of the day, prices showed a
decline from yesterdays figures of
from 1%c to 1Ac. The last prices
were about the lowest of the day. Cash
prices were unquoted rs lower.
Oats-Oats acted III accordance with
the downward trend of other grains.
There was no special news and values
appeared to De depressed on account
of liquidation.

Right on the Job.

In the rear of a large govern
ment office is a long T-shaped al
ley which is used by many of the
employees for parking their cars
while they are in office. This alley
is also an approach to the store
rooms of several buildings and con-
sequently is visited by numerous
large trucks, trash wagons. etc, in
the course of a day.
One of the women employed In
this office is the proud possessor of
a handsome new sedan. Yesterday
morning about 10 o'clock I heard a
commotion in the alley and, look
ing out of the window, saw a con-
gestion of trucks, wagons and
autos. In the jam which had en-
sued a small two-wheeled trash
cart had been crowded against the
precious sedan and one of the
shafts had made horrid long
scratch on the shiny body. 1t had
no sooner happened than, in some
inexplicable way, the fair owner
was on the spot and was excitedly
attempting to lift the cart bodily
from the proximity Of the sedan.

Mercury and Uranus are in bene-

1t Is an especially auspicious date
for beginning journeys since they
are likely to lead to new friends
and pleasant adventures.
Aviation is subject to an especiai-
ly good rule at this time which
should bring many life-saving in
ventions to aerial navigation.
This Is a particularly favorable
sway for advertising and publicity
but warning is given that pub
fishers are to become difficult to
manage where free insertions are
concerned.
Under this confguration women
are to be politically ambitious And
the seers declare that many will
vainly enter the fall campaign.
There is. however. a sign read
as giving a woman a chance to be-
come United States Senator.

mean happiness to all who have been
cramped by high brick walls doesn't
know enough about human nature to
be allowed to write any plays. When
ever we come across one of these
young heroines who NOPE about and
complain that their only playground

that the playwright will take her up
and dump her into the middle of a
meadow. We never did feel kindly

Edward Locke has written "The
Woman Who Laughed" full
length comedy, with nothing more
than three characters and a piece
of rope. That seems an achieve

amusing evenings entertainment
using nothing but the rope.
Hamilton ,Craigie calls our atten-
tion to the fact that Gertrude Stein
is among the contributors to a re-
cent issue of a magazine called
Broom. He thinks we should read
her piece called mot a Beginning"
and offers in evidence the following

polite to be unworthy. Unworthy

and of the property adjoining.
Let me describe the red room.
A red room isn't cold or warm. A
red room is not meant to be icy. A
red room is worthy of the articles"
Though Gertrude Stein be on our
table, 1T does not seem ito us that
the good song rings sovery clear.
