an expensive luxury as marriage apparently has become. The obs servation no doubt was to tho point. |. for all about Us we see yo1hg un- married people who no doubt eS- poct to get married some inc. day. but are not in a hurry aboM it. When they finally summon sutflel- ent courage, after having Induced some attractive partner 10 become interested in them, 1t can be doubted Vigorously whether the outcome will be family as large as that from which Benjamin Franklin sprang.
 Another thing that operates against early and productive mar riagcs Is general widespread be- | lief that tho old adage about two being able to live as cheaply as one any longer holds good, if it ever did The young folks, educated in figuring and having a fair smacking of philosophy of sort, simply don't believe it. They know that rents are high have d good working knowl- edge of what groceries cost, know what good clothes cost from their own experiences, and have heard 1t related us to how much 1t costs nowadays to ciothe children. They apparently think that. the adage Hook before you leap,' Is more worth needing. We don't know whether they are right or wrong; we only reflect selt-evident ob- servation that anyone can confirm among his own particular circle Of i friends.
 The higher the standard of living gets the moro it costs 10 meet the expenses of such living. What were once regarded as luxuries become necessities. and the young couple halts and hesitates before losing grip upon the luxuries they have learned to expect from childhood. They wait until they are assured continuation of such luyuries after they are married -- and sometimes they wait d long time.
 Then there is the modern deVel-
 onment of the growing economical Independence of women. Girls who in q past age married for economi- caI reasons - to acquire a home and 10 be supported - no longer need 10 marry for this reason
 Scarcely girl except those from
 wealthy families but is able to earn
 her own livelihood. She does not
 feel the impulse of marrying for q
 living - she already has d good
 livelihood, and perhaps a better one than were she to wed young man
 in her class and be thrown upon
 his support. This independence oy
 uomanhood has been much exalted
 in the past few decades, but there
 ;s scarcely doubt that 1t operates
 to inc dctriment of early marriages
 and large families after marriage
 comes later in life. This develop 2 ment is particularly manifest ln na- r lions which have become largely lh- dustrialized. Nations which are not , nrimari1y industrial continue to il'e undcr conditions as they were III pazt times, but as they become more = industrial conditions in these na' lions will change, quite like 1T { America. How our technical indus ; trial life affects our marriage rate l is learned by contrasting it ~''l
 conditions in the rural regions l where early marriages still obtal' s to a greater extent than Ill "l' | cities, and where larger families ar' ,,o rnIe - although ever there Il = such regions the families are uni t fornlv smaller than formerly wa the case

Power Must Help
Seller and Buyer

In q careful study of the economic
side OF electrifying the farms OF
America. j. c. Martin, western editor
of the Electrical World. finds two gen
eral facts which must be recognized
The first of these is that the seller
must make a profit. If he Is to con
tinue in business. The other is that
the buyer must make profit from
the use of the things he buys.
In the case of farm electrification
the seller would be the power com
pany, if power is to be obtained in
that manner, and the buyer, of course
would be the farmer. The product,
electric power, must bring a profit
to the seller. the electric power com
pany. and must give the buyer. (the
farmer) a profit from it's use.
In the case of the buyer" says
Mr.. Martin, who comedies with what
General Electric specialists also con
tend, ''the profit does not always come
In the form of a money balance Ii
may come in the form Of better liv
ing conditions or better health or in
numerous other ways. However. il
he is using the things he buys in a
producing business from which he
derives an income, then he must be
able to turn those things into more
cash than he pays for them, including

William Penn Called
Original Realty Man

Real estate men declare they feel
little closer to William Penn than the
men of other professions because they
are led to believe that the founder was
the country's first real estate man.
The real estate men do not need to
be 80 modest In laying claim to first
place In the line of allegiance, nor Is
1t necessary to be diffident at all in
crowning William Penn realtor. For
that Is what he was-a promoter of
big land deal and the seller of lots and
blocks and farms and all manners of
raw natural resources to all Corners,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Not only so, bat Penn was a most
accomplished advertiser of his over
seas boom. His letters and pamphlets
talking up his sylvan concessions and
persuasiyely inventorying the advan-
tages to be found there were popular
all over England and are now pre-
served as classics. 1t Is a great mis-
take to read back into the life Of VIII
liam Penn so much Of unworldiness, Of
devout dream and vision as to obscure
the very sound materialistic basis of
his undertaking.
Penn called the hardy men and wom-
en- who answered his advertisements
Adventures. The word runs all
through his pamphlets and charters
and the letters he wrote. The modern
realtor Is entitled to take a good many
leaves out of PENIS book. But, in
simple Justice to the great realtor, he
must also study some Of the leaves
that are too little considered in our
time. Penn was not only a seller of
land He was seller of those things
which alone make land worth while.
He advertised to sell liberty with
MS land, to sell escape from Old world
despotism, to sell new opportunities
for the souls Of men. In fact It was
the intangibles that made his plots
and lots In the wilderness Of America
salable. Penn was the ideal realtor.
because he made the new land the
mere outward condition of those rights
and liberties without which land in
PENNSYLVANIA today would not be
worth much more than it was when
William Penn was selling it at pence
an acre.

Speaks of the Present Trend.
Addressing g conference at Ames.
Ia. called to consider what electricity
can do for agriculture, President R.
A. Pearson. of Iowa State College, said
that agriculture is now passing
through its third period of develop
ment, typified by the desire for eff
cheney.
In the first two periods. he pointed
out. direct delivery from farmer to
consumer and quantity production for
big crops were the characteristics, re-.
spectively
"The new era" he said. must be
one of permanent industry and char.
acterized by business methods, low
cost of production. highly intelligent
methods OF marketing and mainte.
nance Of soil fertility. In this period
the highest efficiency will be neces.
sary to compete with foreign agricul.
ture."
He then introduced representatives
of electrical farm Investigations from
several states. who briefly sketched
what they hope to find out regarding
the contribution which electricity may
make to efficiency in agriculture.

Lights and Pumps Are Greatest Farm
Desires

So far as the woman on the farm is
concerned, there has always been a
glowing possibility of giving life a
happier aspect through the coming of
electricity It has been asserted that
ninety-six out Of every one hundred
women on the farms of the nation
handle big wash on Monday Seven
ty-nine out of the hundred trim and
fill kerosene lamps and thirty-six
help with the milking.
That points Enthusiastically to the du-
ties which the average farm woman
would like to see electricity take over
first of ALL Those duties would be
included in an electric lighting sys-
tenn and a small electric pumping out
