IMAGINARY ILLS
BY Walt Mason

I often weep for Pink McGill, who
lives next door but two; he thinks he
is extremely i'll, that shortly he'll be
through. and sleeping idly on the hill
beneath the sod and dew. He talks
for hours about his aches, in weari-
some despair; and yet l think his
pains are fakes, a pipe dream and a
snare, and he could whip his weight
in snakes and never sweat a hair.
If he could cease to grieve and whine
about imagined pains, and say, To-day
I'm feeling fine, from bootheels up to
brains.' his face with rudy health
would shine, brisk blood would warm
his veins. Old Pink McGill would be
a peach if he'd forget his ills, and
cease to murmur and to reach for DR..
Fantods pills, and fire the druggist
and the leech who fill him up with
squills. For he's man of many gifts,
well versed in ancient lore, and wise
TO all the noble shifts of bards and
seers of yore; but as he is merely

number of automobiles on farms IN
1920 at 2,146,362, while figures com
piled by Automotive Industries put
the total of automobiles in use in all
the United States in 1920 at 1904, 200,
suggesting that the farmers owned IN
that year considerably more than one
fourth of the automobiles of the coun-
trv. to saw nothing of the 10000 mo-
tor trucks and 246000 farm tractors
reported in operation on the farms III
1920. Over 80 per cent OF the report
ing farms in 1920 utilized automobiles"
Still another evidence OF the disspo-
sition of the farmer to utilize machin-
cry in increasing his business actlv-
ties is found in the fact that the value
of his farm implements and machn-
ery" reported in 1920 was nearly three
times as much as in 1910, five times
as much as in 1900 and seven times as
much as in 1890. The official valuation
of farm implements and machinery IN
1920 is $3,195000,000 against Sl,Z65,-
100000 in 1910, $750,000,000 in 1000
and 404,00O,000 in 1890.
1t is not surprising then, in view OF
the increasing use by the farmer OF
these time and labor saving devices,
the telephone, the automobile, the mo-
tor truck and the farm tractor, coup
led with the enormous increase in
his farm implements and machinery
to find that the census reports the
value of horses on farms in 1920 only

II all the farm boys are leaving the

may be they are doing so because the

the American farmer is increasingly
making use OF the products of invent

1920 federal census presents figures on
the number OF automobiles, motor
trucks, telephones and farm tractors in
use on the farms of the country, and
the number having water piped into
the house" These figures, it is re-
marked indicate that the automobile
and telephone are now a big factor
in farm life, not merely as comfort
and convenience but as an actual aid
in business. The Trade Record sums
up the census figures as follows:
The number of telephones by which
the farmer may communicate with his
local trade center, or with the great
cities in which the prices and markets
for his products are determined, is Of
ficially stated at 2,49S, 493 in 1920,
while another authority puts the total
number of phones in all the United
States without regard to ownership"
at the end OF 1920 at 13,411, T9, which
suggests that nearly one-hfth of the
