WOMAN AND THE FARM

over 1000 farmers wives have given their
sons for wishing that their daughters do do not
marry farmers IN letters 70 The Farmers Wife.
The significant thing IS that OF the 1000 only 42o

than that OF the farm fo- tler own daughters.
That speaks for contentment, at any rate when
"a percent OF any given walk Of life testify TO its

A MODERN CUILIZER

Have you ever stoppsd 10 consider how much OF
your life and your morals depends upon the material
things OF life?
Perhaps the story OF the Afghan amir ruler OF
about seven millions OF Mohammedans may be some
what illuminating.
Until the present ruler assembled his throne the
evidence OF wealth proclaimed by the number
OF wives very carefully guarded from the eyes OF
neighbors. shut from any eyes that OF the
owner or husband you wish to view that rela-
tionship IN a half civilized community.
The former amir had 100 wives That meant
many walls for with the increase in the number OF
wives it was the custom Of the country to build
new and larger walls about the palaces. with a
multiple OF mates experience had suggested to the
oriental mind safety Of possession only
the larger seclusion.
81 automobiles
a salesman for an auto concern caught the kingly
fancy with his speed and 'polygauy vanished
from the royal establishment and his whole atten-
and France
Now the other mobiles OF the country are buying
machines and there are fewer walls being built as
safeguards against jealousy.
Every modern invention raises just little the
standard OF life and with each upward trend there
comes higher moral tone 70 civilization
Il IS not always so strkngly illustrated but a COM
parison between the morals OF today with those OF
Is years ago and with a half century or a century
in the past viii be convincing.
Freedom from drudgery gives the soul a chance.

MIR. MENUS PLEASED WITH
 HIS VISIT HERE

MT. Percy Hemus, the eminent baritone, who for the past 10 days has been here under the auspices of his. farmer pupil, Mrs. Clara Harper Steele conducting a master class" in voice, said before leaving for his home the past week in regard to his visit here:
 T cannot begin to say how delight ed and charmed I am with the south ern people and my delight at finding such splendid talent to work with Birmingham.
 Perhaps I should be ashamed to say it, but l came here under pro- test, because I was tired out from overwork, but thought her charming personality. Clara Harper Steele con- vinced me that l should come to Bir- mingham for at least 10 days. Those 10 days have passed all too quickly, and l regret that could not lengthen my stay, as the pupils have suggest ed, but I need rest.
 T am told that Birmingham is only 50 years ola. What pride it's citizens must feel when they tell that! To me, the commercial growth is unusual, but the artistic growth is phenomenal. I have found many interesting voices and some unusual talent.
 Tt Is impossible to name all those who have studied with me. The youngest is a Syrian by the name of Josephine Wehby, who Is only IF years old. This little lady has mark ed talent and I am told, is the pro- tege of Mrs. Horace Hammond I am sure that it speaks well for Mrs. Hammond's keen insight to that which is genuinely artistic that prompts her to recognize this un- usual talent.
 'Of course. Birmingham hears the best artists through the "All-Star,. concerts and the Music Study club and it is only natural that the citi- zens and give to the beautiful
 Long life and continued artistic growth is my parting word to the many, many wonderful friends I have made in Birmingham.
