GENIAL GEORGE THURBER

For the past ten years the
annual visitor to the Sunshine
City took his departure from Is
land Pond, Vermont, and arriv
ed here early in the fall so that
he might be able to enjoy a full
season of comfort out in the O.
pen, a privilege denied him du
ring the rigorous winter month
in his Green Mountain State,
his home town being located
near the Canadian border.
In the minglings among the
tourists and elderly men who
sought fellowship by daily Vi
sits to Williams Park the Yer
monter discovered congenial
spirits, and in order to pass the
time away it was suggested
that a game of checkers would
be a pleasant diversion. Those
who were thus associated rang
ed in ages from IS to 80 years
of age--the gentlemen referred
to was in the younger class,
having just turned his Gath
year. There were less than half
a dozen who enjoyed the past
time, but year by year their
number received accessions I'M
til the past year when nearly
700 were enrolled as members
of a club in which chess, check
ers and dominoes afforded
them as each day added to
their mounting age. And as
day after day dawned, in the
sportiveness of rejuvenated age
these men, and with few ex-
ceptions, men of Independent
completeness, enjoyed a NUT
ually pleasing fellowship--in
which there were dominantly
observable not only a delight
full spirit of comradeship, but a
pronounced mutual respect one
for the other, a requisite to last
ing friendship.

the perfect enjoyment of life.
When he was II years old he
was a victim of scarlet fever
the dreaded disease did not
take his life. That remained
notwithstanding that it
left the little boy in a world to
him audibly voiceless, soundless
his organs of hearing having
been atrophied. So the other
day when George had listened
to the call of the Great Beyond,
GO years he had passed the
coming and goings of the sea-
sons amidst the activeities of
the community life in which he
participated in a silence that
gave forth no pleasing notes of
the bird song, nor the vibrant
delights of the human voice,
nor the symphonies of the
great organ which bespeaks
the language of the soul nor
the harmonies in which those
who are blessed with the sense
of hearing revel. Still he was
happy-spirited, for the most
time gay-hearted, always gen.
ial in company with his fellows
and drew to himself a host of
friends-and we can see how
he took his departure without
an enemy amongst all with
whom he had met while a pal
mer of earth.
A Steady Light
Possessed of a good mind, a
clever thinker, always neatly

greetings for those with whom
he had become acquainted, Mr.
Furber became a great favorite
among his fellowplaymen. 1t
is fair to say that not one out
of score knew his family
name. He was referred to as
George" AS a genial good
man he radiated a steady light
that never dimmed in its glow

MIDSUMMER MADNESS

ness-that spirit which drives owners TO turn

highways at a terrific rate of speed.
They blame the heat for what sensible people
know the result Of plain thoughuessness selfish
ness or foolishness
They list these exhibitions OF recklessness with
the phenomena observable on the first pages OF
newspapers through the killing OF husbands by
Jealous wives breach Of promise suits that fol-
low irtatons and the escapades OF girls who
resent parental advice and leave happy homes for
careers
But whatever its source it IS undeniable that
the autoist who INDUCES IN speeding and in the
bright light Is raising the death rate most alarm
ingly and filling the hospitals with his victims
Fortunately the roads in the vicinity OF South

It Is not .he movie or the desire for bath tubs
and open plumbing IS not the desire for ad-
venture nor finally any ambition to escape that
hard life which demands early rising and late
firing during the summer months.
The real reason Is that the farmer. Cor the past
three years has found it 90 improbable that he
can not longer afford TO keep his at home
The cheap auto and good roads took away the
old reasons which drove many youths from the
country into city life. II is easy TO get into
city There is hardly an Indiana farm which is
more than q half hours distance from a city and
city convenience and in these days distance il
measured by time not miles.
IT really can't afford 70 keep my boy home"
is the testimony OF farmer, the owner OF
quarter section OF fertile land whose boy goes to
neighboring town TO learn one Of the mechanical
trades
Last year we kept books on our farm. We found
that we had each earned exactly two cents a day
on our corn crop. Wheat gave ten cents a day,
but we were lucky. by feeding our corn to hogs
we did manage TO bring the corn Up to nearly
ten cents"
There YOU have the real reason for the advent Of
the farmer boy to city life He works. under pres
ent conditions at Chinese wages and he doesn't like
them and is not that he will soon escape from
hem.
The farmer win always be the foundation Of ma

The farmer is getting rather tired OF hoping for
much relief through political action. He looking

farm a business and is finding out that his labor
Is cheaper than that Of other workers
He is turning his mind a scheme Of cooper

cooperative buying
That is he is very anxious TO have
gambling in farm products which is gambling with
his labor and his dividends on his investment.
