More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
THE REALTOR BARD.

When John Milton wasn't penning
stately measures
Or engaged in writing glowing
lyric gems
He was telling wealthy tradesmen of
the pleasures
Of residing down in Chelsea on the
Thames.
Though poets was his daily oc-
cupation
And he piled it at a most terrific
rate,
AS a restful and pleasant avoca-
He would turn his hand to selling
real estate.
He could not have held very high
position
In the game in which our realtors
are keen,
For we never read of "M1ton's Third
Addition
Or of Milton on-the. Health" or
Millions Green"
But at times in which the Muse re-
fused to function
And his pegasus could not be made
to trot-
He could talk with all a real es-
tator's JUNCTION,
On the value of a slightly Ipswich
lot
1t is seldom that we find big
league poet
Who could earn his salt in any
other line,
There are always busts in business,
and they know it
(Although Omar wrote a tip-top ad
for wine)
Shelley seldom had cent, while Mr..
Byron
BY his creditors was constantly
beset,
And although we know he had a
nerve of iron
He was rarely in his lifetime out
of debt.
So, we're glad to learn this news of
Mr.. Milton;
He could dine on grouse and turzot
when he chose,
Not for him to take bite of bread
ana sutton
AS prelude to his hours of re-
pose.
He was sitting on the world, and
sitting pretty,
Though his income from his poetry
was slight,
For he always could find some one in
the City
In the market for a first-class
building site.

1926 was held in Washington No-
vember 9 to IA. The conference TOP
ic was Farm Youth" Naturally us
cussion centered round a consloera-
tion of education in its larger as
meets. The school is one OF seVeIaI
educational influences. By tradltloh
and nv general consent it is the one
in which formal education centers
and to which farm youth is looking
more and more, not only for eouca-
tion of the traditional type but Tor
leadership and opportunity IN IecIe-
ational, occupatiOnal, and social ire
T'bis is true not alone of the second
arv school; the modern conception
of elementary education involves Ine
necessity of bringing into the school,
/ life activities on which school WORK
is based. In practice this means tna'
the school must organize Tor lts use
and to attain it's aims, regular Gay
hv dav. commonplace activities re-
curing in the life in and OUT "
school. Particularly does the scnOO'
recognize the home as the basic ecu
cational organization. 1t Supports
and is in turn supported and supple
mented by the school, this idea was
expressed frequently by delegates Z

THIRD CLASS POSTMASTERS
SEEK CIVIL SERVICE

Everybody knows the postmaster
and everybody expects efhclent anu
courteous service from him. IneIe
are four classes of postmasters. I1e
third class are those whose salaries
range from $1,10O to $4,000 per an
mum, depending upon the receipts OF
the office. The National League OF
District Postmasters Third ana
Fourth Classes) is urging Congress
to place third class under civil ser
vice. Fourth class are already IN,
but third class are appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Sen
ate for a fOur-year term only. NO
matter how efficient they may be-
nor how much their patrons desire
their retention, they are not retain
ed unless the congressman belong
! ing to the party in power endorses
them ,.,..
This practice, their organization
claims, is not conducive to the pest
interest of the postal service in the
communities served by the thru
class. ooo ~,
There are more than 1000 third
class in the United States. More
than 5000 of them own the equip
ment used-postOffice boxes, etc.
The rent of the boxes goes to the
Government, and when the post
master is succeeded by another he
has no market for his equipment
for which he has paid.

is no incentive to make the postal
business a life work, nor to equlI

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING
BY WISE CROP ROTATION

The starting point in business
farming is crop rotation, or the es-
tablishment of systematic cropping
systems to maintain soil productlV-
itv. The three farm practices Whlch
contribute most effectually to the
production of much major crops as
wheat. corn, and oats, are cultlVa-
tion. crop rotation, and the use OF
fertilizers. both manure and CONNER
cial materials. These three opera
tions rank almost equally in 1mpor-
tance. but the Bureau of Soils OF the
limited States Department of Agrl-
culture points out that while tne
cultivation of the soil and the use Oh
fertilizers are more or less expen-
sive. rotation of crops does not ap-
near as an item of expense in any
farm cost-accounting system.
IT is true that farmer may spend
time or energy in planning a rota-
tion, that is, in determining Sc
ouence of crops which will enable
each crop to derive the maximum
benefit from preceding crops and
give the greatest benefit to suDse-
ouent crops, and in getting the ro-
tation established on his farm. This
however, is counted as an express
sion of his managerial ability, for
which he receives reward in the form
of managerial income, if through
good management he succeeds IN
realizing net profits. Thus, in rota-
ton Of crops, a farmer has at his
command, without any monetary
cost to him a means whereby ne
can materially increase the output
OF his land and reduce crop-produc'
ton costs.
Milford chronicle., 1926-12-10

In the absence of special legisla-
tive enactments or traffic regula-
tions. the right of pedestrian TO the
highway is neither greater nor less
than that of the operator OF motor
vehicle. The operator of the auto
mobile must exercise reasonable
care to avoid injury to persons law
fully upon the highways ana such
nersons are bound to exercise the
same degree of caution for their own
safety. in other words, the obllga-
tions are reciprocal. 1t is, however,
among pedestrians that a large per-
centage of the enormous toll OF hui
man life taken by motor vehicles Is
to be found, and in no other rela-
tionship with his fellow-users OF the
bigbwav. should the mOtorist use a
biober degree of care than when en-
countering pedestrians, and partlcu-
Iarlv children. The general rules as
to the negligence of the operator OF
the machine, proximate cause OF tne
accident, and the cOntributory negli'
gence of the person struck are appIl.
cable to this class of collision, anI
the mere PROOF Ol AhJuly " =.
trian raises no presumption OF negn

street intersections than at any otner
mart of the highway, it requires
care on the part of both.
IT may be said that in using the
streets and highways, an automo-
bilist does so with the knowledge
that at street intersections, pedes-
trians may, and do, more frequently
cross the highways than at points
between them; he should, therefore,
operate his car with that degree OF
care which is consistent with the
conditions thus existing, and should
have his car at all times under con-
troll when approaching them. II
pedestrians are upon the crossing at
the time of the arrival of the motor
vehicle, the driver should slacken up
or stop his machine, although he is
not necessarily bound to wait until
the pedestrian has passed over the
entire crossing and reached the op-
nosite sidewalk. Many crossings II
large cities are regulated by traffic
regulations, and a violation of one o.
these regulations by a motoris
! which results in injury to a pedes
trian would, unquestionably, conYlc
him of negligence. Thus, a regula
ton permitting pedestrians at stree
intersections where a traffic office
is on duty to cross with the release'
traffic, but not otherwise, gives tn
pedestrian at such times a right c
way over the vehicle, even though tn
sign is changed to permit the pas
sage of vehicles before the pedes
trian has fully crossed the interseC
ton. Needless to say, if a mOtOris
strikes a pedestrian upon that pol
, ton of a highway reserved for p'
destrians, such as the sidewalk,
, presumption of negligence will aris
which must be rebutted by the ope
= ator, as such an act is usually he
