Grating Together, Have

DURHAM, N. H., Sept. IL. =
Significant changes tending to
check the economic trend which
has been sapping farm life have
been brought about by county
agent work in the interest of bet

by J. C. Kendall, director of CO.
operative extension work in the
University of New Hampshire. TAX
ing as a basis conditions in Sulli-
van county, where in August ten
years ago county agent work was
first begun, Director Kendall points
to numerous developments which
he attributes directly and indirect
ly to extension activities.
in the first place, the spirit of
aloof individualism has very
largely gone" Mr.. Kendall says.
People in the old days used to

ricultural specialist; now they stay
and ask questions. They used to
think it was a mistake to- share
their ideas on farming with each
other; now they get together and
discuss ways in which they can
cooperate to advantage.
But the advance has not been
ono in shirt only" he adds. and
points to scores of new houses
built, according to extension recon-
mendations; to standard feeding

of birds; and to hillsides of Nc

fields that yield three CROPS instead
of two, farmers exchanges which
do an annual business in the state
Of $1,200,000 are all evidences of
the movement, Mr.. Kendall asserts.
Substantial results in making
farm life more desirable for young
people and their elders alike are
also observable. He points to bet
ter balanced meals, more economi-
cal and attractive wardrobes, walls
of more prepossessing appearance
and kitchens with modern con-

The EnglishuOOn10n Who Ruled a Queen

Yet other contemporaries OF
this woman, a politician at the
English court, whose methods
were oddly like those Of the pres.
ent day feminine party worker,
left to posterity many a tale OF
her charm of personality, her
reliability and her extraordinary
mental brilliance.
The great outstanding action Of
her life was remuneration Of the
power and place she had won for
herself that she might become an
exile from her beloved native
land, obscure and lonely, for love
of her husband.
When a mere child Sarah Jen-
nings was a playfellow Of the
Princess Anne, who afterward
became Queen. She married clan
destinely the handsome Col. John
Churchill, favorite of the Duke
OF York, and who became famous
later as the Duke Of Marlborough.
1t was romantic match and an
impulsiVe one. Both Churchill

She then became a lady-in-waiting
