URGE !. s. FARM METHODS FOR

International Institute of Agriculture Resolves to Better Rural Life.
BY H. IA. REYNOLDS International News Service Staff

Washington, Nov. 1.-The Euro pean farmer has become devotee farm machinery, but he is finding that pretty red blows and patent binders from across the sea are fail ing to keep the boys and girls down on the farm.

 ted States for heIp-this time for ideas and methods and plans and in structions to make farm life more in teresting for the rising generation.
 When the International Institute of Agriculture met recently in Rome two important resolutions bearing up- on the subject of the decreasing rural population were introduced by M. de Nuyst, the delegate from Belgium.
 Look to America
 One resolution said the institute should collect data regarding the or ganization and development Of agri- cultural education and home econo- mic steac ching for boys and girls as carried on in different countries (prtn- cipaIly the United States and the other urged the amehoration of rural social and home conditions.
 In discussing his first resolution before the assembly, M. de Vuyst de- earr:ed on in tho United States. as means of making farm life mork at tractive.
 '.These clubs" he said, according to the official report of the meeting re- ceived here, group the boys and girls som etimes separately. sometimes to- gether-with the idea of giving them instruction by demonstrations, which are followed by application on their part to the kitchen, garden or the barnyard. The children make their little personal profit from the work: they try to outdo their neighbors ana o1, k@ fHT and find out with interest that they are capable of pr ogress.
 Study Human Needs
 The second resolution of NJ. de Vuyst referred to a statement made in 1904 by the Assistant Secretary or Agriculture of Canada to the effect that agriculture consisted at first Of the studyFof the soil, the plants and animals of the farm, but that a rev years previous a great discovery haA1 been made; that on the farm there were not only beasts and machlnery' but also a farm to De aided and studied as a man, work man, an intellectual and soc1l be1ng- And more recently, according to the Secretary. q stiH more sensational dls- coveIy had been made-"that thlS farmer had a wife and family and that The pivot of work on the farm was neither in the fields nor thebarns, but between four walls of house..

THE STORY OF ME BY ME
 CHAPTER XXXIV. ......

We are a physical culture family My Mama and my Daddy and my Aunt Sue and my Gramie and my uncles and myself, we all take our setting up exercises every day. And we would no sooner think of going without our setting up exercises than we would think of going without our daily baths.
 I told you how every day after my bath in the morning and about five o'clock in the afternoon all of my clothes are taken off of me and lie on my bed in a warm room and l kick and 1 wave my arms and stretch all of my muscles beautifully. Of course I cry a little bit too during the day. Not too much, but enough so that my lungs are fully extended.
 My lungs are getting pretty power full now too. You ought to hear me yell. Daddy says I am developing so that if I don't make the football team in my college, II shall be a good yell leader. But I plan to make the football team myself. Gramie thinks that I am developing into a Caruso or a Mccormack.
 Recently Mama has begun to help me with my exercises. You know that along with the proper food there is nothing like good muscular develop ment to help develop the bones. So Mama is helping me now to develop my muscles. Today I shall give you the two new exercises she has given me.
 Mama began the exercise move ment she has me do, with not more than three or four, and she has grad uaEly increased them, two a day, until I am now doing 15 each. While am flat on my back on the bed, she

A RED NOSE.


 I once knew a girl whose entire life was ruined because her nose would turn red with no provocation at all. In her case it was not due to indiges- tion nor to ordinary troubles. She tried dieting and she tried laxatives until her physician warned her to stop She tried any amount of ex- pensive powders, liquid and dry, until her family wondered she had any good skin on her nose. She tried daily that disastrous combination of a heavy coating of powder over van Shing cream until black pores on the nostrils warned her that she was clogging her skin.
 There was no trace of catarrh, a frequent cause of red nose, and she lived a healthy outdoor life She found some relief by maSsa ging the nose. Finally she outgrew the trouble it disappeared as mysteriously as it came. My personal opinion is that it was due to her improved health as she matured, though it is very hard to tell in a case like this, for a chronic red nose is a mysterious com plaint-
 Of all the current remedies there are only two in which I have any faith. AS the immediate cause of this red ness the congestion of blood in the veins of the nose (the circulation is more sluggish here than at any other place) it seems logical than any re- lief must come by relieving this con gestion. that is, by stimulating the circulation at this point.

NEXT DOOR TO ROMANCE
 BYLESLIE BURTON BLADES

"Yes, so I said. Of couse I didn't argue with him. He was big and black" Carson laughed despite his sense of impropuriety.
 ''He enjoyed it. I watched him from g near by tree.''
 The picture suggested was decid- edly unusual. Carson looked across the fire at her again. She was appre- ciating her situation, LOO. Her eyes danced with merriment.
 Tt was not altogether without ad vantage, that tree I was well above my guest. You know we like that su- perior feeling"
 Breakfast will now be served"
 Carson turned to the box he had ar ranged for a table. She seated herself opposite him. Between them the coffee pot, skillet. and the tin plates established a more intimate relation.
 When was this party of yours?' He slipped a trout from the, skillet to her plate with dextrous movement of pan and fork.
 Last night My guest was most thoughtless. He trod on my work
 Your work?''
 "Yes, I should say my amusement perhaps. I had some sketches
 "Oh, you are an arr1st.''
 "No, merely play at that as you do at being wild.
 .'Were they all ruined?"
 "Bruined would be better. Have another cup of coffee.''
 She poured it for him. He felt pleased

 That bear was symbolic. Nature rather disregards one. you know"
 There seems nothing else to do.''
 And now you are without food. Are you alone?"
 "Quite.''
 f'Did you drive in?"
 t'I hired a farmer to bring me in. He will come for me in seven days
 With my fishing we can manage, I think
 He smiled agreeably. Just a touch of color appeared in her cneeks mounting to her temples.
 ''It does seem a little embarrassing, don't you think?''
 For you perhaps
 She looked him steadily in the eye for a moment.
 Pardon me, but how old are you?'' Again he grew uncomforta!bly aware of youth.
 "Older than you make me feel.'' he said abruptly. ''I am twenty three.''
 sTwenty-three." She fingered over the repetition dreanily.
 '1s that "a mystical number to you 7" '-It seems so. The morning is po- sSessing me, I think
 He drew a pipe from his pocket and tanped tobacco into it with his thumb.
 She leaned against a log at her back watching his intently out of half-closed eyes.
 Around them a peace of mountain YaStnesS settled like a. benediction.

CHAPTER IT. A. Change of Camp.

'aTwenty-three, she said again, land a senior in college next year. Is it Yale or Harvard ?''
 How did you know?'
 Divine intuition. The gift of fate to woman
 DO you know any more about me?"
 "Yes, some few things"
 What are they?"
 Really, Jerry, you don't insist upon my tell4ng?"
 'tNot if you object, of course.''
 Her smile was delightful. He mo- ticed the slender strength of her hand as she brushed an ant from her skirt. It was a hand one would re- member, he thought.
 "Now I suppose we must make some sort of bargain about food"
 'Id rather not commerciaIize the situation
 But my dear boy, there are reas- sons"
 ''Please,'' he urged. "I have plenty you know"
 She considered the matter mo- ment before answering.
 At least we must mention ways of getting your donation to the place of disaster
 t'I will carry it there unless-'' he paused wondering at his daring unless the hungry can be moved nearer the base of supply"
 Her eyes darkened, then grew light as she laughed.
 ''Why not ?" she said aloud. "It would be more convenient for both.'
 Then it's agreed" He rose with an air of finaIity.
 Your efficiency bespeaks busi- ness training, Jerry"
 Winch of us moves? I have the more beautiful camp
 He followed her glance around his clearing.
 ''I will move if you prefer your To- cation," he submitted.
 Thank you. I do really cherish that place of mine"
 He began throwing things together.
 May I help? feel rather in need of action just now-'
 He nodded toward the grub box.
 'Ill roll up my bed"
 She set to work packing his things.
 "If it weren't for twenty miles of most unspeakable road and my many belongings I'd walk out to that farm house."
 Why should you ?''
 There are reasons, you know"
 Her half-amused tone provoked a smile
 'But it would be foolish to allow a convention to spoil your camp" "
 ''So I have decided
 She helped him tie his bedding into a more compact roll. Together they stopped over it. crowding the blank cts tighter. Her hair swayed against his cheek. Its subtle fragrance was delightful
 Over his perking hands Carson saw seven days pass in a flash of vast and potent possibilities. His young heart trembled at vague suggestions new to his thought.
 ~Glancing at him she saw his eyes point with thought and flushed.
 Jerry she spoke abruptly, i've had best forget the romantic in this sit uation. If you can do it I shall have to give up my vacadion.''
 He felt his flesh jingle as though she had detected him in something nit quite to be admitted
 Why. of eourse.-I under stand"
 He resented shis inability to say more appropriate things.
 Well. MT. Capta-n, what is my burden?''
 She waited expectantly. while he considered
 'If you can manage that kit''-lle indicated his camp-sack-'T will take he food. I can return for the res .ater.''
 She swung the kit to her bacI with a free graceful motion of arms and shoulders
