Uncle Joe

When | was young | piled hoe
for 50 cents day; the boss-we
called him Uncle Joe--had kopecks
put away. His farm was mostly
made OF rocks, with stingy soil be-
tween. and it required the hardest
knocks to raise squash or bean.
The things we ate, the things we
wore were raised upon that farm
the plan of buying at the store for
Joe had little charm. He always
had some stuff for sale when he re-
paired to town; he would not think
of spending kale when he could salt
it down He had some butter in a
crock. some eggs, a bale OF wool i;
sometimes he sold bunch of stock,
some roosters or bu !. He never
bought a single thing that he could
raise at home, and he was happy as
a king, existence was a pome. His
grandson farms the old home place
his name is Willyum Woods-and
every day | see him chase to town
to buy some goods. He buys his
hams and bacon there, his -four and
wlenerwurSt, and goes home groan-
ing in despair that farming is accurst.
He buys the things he ought to sell,
the things he ought to grow, and,
going home, | hear him yell and
yammer in his woe. He buys what
ever he can find, and has no junk
for sale, and, maybe seven jumps
behind, the sheriff keeps his trail. He
ha sn't learned to make things go, he
hasn't learned to save; and doubtless
poor old Uncle Joe is turning i'll his
grave.

Making The Roads Safe.

Acting on the suggestion of a phys
cologist, following a series of tests,
a Chicago taxicab company is setting
up model street section, which will
contain in life size about every form
of emergency which can happen to
an automobile.
New drivers will be given their
training there before going out into
the regular traffic.
The National Association of Taxi
cab Owners is planning to bring
about the establishment Of similar
training streets in other principal
cities of the United States.
If this form of training is good for
taxi drivers, it would likewise be good
for the green" driver who has his
first experience at the wheel of an
automobile.
The physcologist found that to be
a safe" driver, one must not be
obliged to stop and think what he
must do in each instance. One

an emergency. The drivers reac-
ton to street sign, a traffic signal
or pedestrian stepping suddenly
from the curb should be instantane-
GUS and automatic.
The roads will never be safe for
motoring until some sort of system
is worked out, whereby drivers are
given tests before being permitted to
drive cars.
Neither will safety be assured un-
til every state has rural police patrol
ing the roads as a constant menace
to speeders to hold them in check.

The presidential campaign in the
United States, now in full swing, is
to be fought out on home issues.
And wen that it may, because the
citizens of the United States are
more concerned about their govern
ment at home than they should be
about relations with neighboring ma
tons, though it is an essential part
of the governments functions to
maintain peaceful relations with
other groups of peoples
President Coolidge has declared
for common sense in government, Z"
and it viii be the campaign slogan of
the republicans, in the continuation
of administration efforts to put more
economy in government
John w. Davis, democratic
nominee for president. put foremost
in his campaign keynote, Honesty
in Government" thus injecting into
the campaign the oil scandals which
resulted in the resignation of three
members of the cabinet whom Pres
ident Coolidge inherited" from his
predecessor.
Senator LaFollette, running as an
independent candidate, wants the
government returned to the people.
The more hopeful situation in
Europe, brought about by the pact Of
London. in which the reparations
tangle was settled with the aid of the
Dawes-Ioung plan. practically elimi-
mates foreign relations from the cam
paign and leaves the candidates free
to do battle on home issues.
All this should work for better
ment of the government. if the at
tention of the people can be focused
for few days on that which they
take all too much for granted
1t may be possible to impress upon
them that the government is in a
measure a living thing, that it was
not built according to certain plan,
but is elastic and grows and develops
to suit the changing needs Of the
people. Elk.

The condition of the farmer since
1920 has been made a subject Of
study by the department Of agricul-
ture.
The department. by gathering sta
tistics from a large number of
farms in every section Of the United
States, found that the farmers
wages compared with the average
wages paid to hired labor in the same
years
No one denies that the slump in
farm prices has not been hard
blow to farmers Neither will any
one deny that the farmer is not
coming back TO the position he
rightly deserves.
The great difficulty has been that
too many people concluded that
agriculture had no future
History tells US that American
agriculture has seen a degree Of pro-
gress in the past which has never
before been witnessed by any group
which titled the soil.
History also tells as that there
have been periods Of depression
caused by forces over which farmers
had no control
But agriculture always anne back,
