FrOm Lumheriack TO Editor

SaANh ~ AUAAN@
Merle Cromwell, editor of The
American Magazine will be the chief
speaker this year at the annual con-
Vention of the National Editorial
Association. Although he is the
head of a great national magazine,
he was invited by the newspaper
editors rather as the embodiment
and exponent of the country news
paper. 1t is one of his outstanding
axioms that there is something IN
American country life-with It's
drabness, loneliness and self-denlal
that breeds power and courage"
Mr.. Cromwell is himself an eX-
annie of what rural America can do
in fine production of leaders. He was
horn in 1888 in North Newport
Maine. where the conditions of life
were about as primitive as those OF
the early pioneers. In his youth ne
had the ox-like vitality OF those
pioneers-that brave, restless aud
acious force.
His first memories, according TO
Irving Bachelor, his biographer, are
of his grandmother holding candles
and turning wool into yarn on the
spinning wheel. He got through
with the district school at eleven
Impressed with his precocity' they
village people said that he was ike
ly to become another0Frank Prilay'
who had gone to Bangor and won a
lob in a shoe store at the princely
salary of $1,000 a week.
At eleven, Cromwell entered an
academy some distance from ms
home. where he rented a room at 20
cents a week and lived on tenNcents
a day. He won a scholarship in
Colby College, working his way by
numbering in the Maine woods.
Three years work as a lumber]ack
brought on rheumatism which fore
ed him into less strenuous laDors'
and he turned to newspaper WORK.
A story which he wrote for the New
York Sun won him place on the
American Magazine:

Francisco, Cheyenne and Pueblo,
Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, and
Los Angeles and Seattle. Several
hundred thousand tons of mail are
now being carried annually through
the air with few failures. In the
course of a year the fatalities in
carrying the mail have been reduced
so that they are about in proportion

SCRAPPING OF MEN

The problem of the man above
middle age and the appalling loss

among the problems of industry and
the wastefulness which occasions
the "scrapping of men," according
to a statement issued be Secretary
of Labor, James J. Davis points out
that physical burdens Of production
are constantly being lessened, child
labor is being reduced, schooling ex-
tended and the span fife lengthen-

of the Nation has become so scien-
tific that the relations of industry
to human life have become highly

side cot the surprise of his lie a
few weeks ago, when he arrived III
France for brief vacation Trip
He found the French nation Ell
eaged in a widespread controversy,
started by an editorial which ne hau
written shortly before his departure
All around him during his stay III
France, there ragged a spirited arsu-
ment. with his editorials as Ine
storm center.
The first blast in the campaign
was a New York dispatch carried ny
all the newspapers of France, Bel
gium and Switzerland, which stated
SThe magazine Farm and F1rcV lue

declares, in effect, that there are too
many farmers in the United STATES

4.5OO 900 could be spared without
loss. In fact, the country would De
better off if this number would
abandon farming and find places IN
industry. Agriculture would be bet
ter served, only the best land would
be worked, and the best and most
efficient methods would be used"
This dispatch sounded like rank
treason to the French, who nave
been desperately pushing a black
to the Farm" movement for many
years.
"Such ideas are not far from
criminal" declared Paris editorl-
al, while the great French financial
paper said: "These Americans!
They do nothing in the same way as
normal people. In France agrlcul-
ture sufferers from lack of man
power. In America things are ex-
act1y the opposite. But probably the
American editor is joking!" The
Paris Temps urged: Let us hope
this chaotic American doctrine will
never gain converts in France!"
1t is odd that no European paper
saw the real point of Mr.. Martins
editorial,-that the reason farming
requires less man power in America
is because of the application of labor
saving machinery to farm problems.
Europe is still trying to solve its
agricultural problems by methods
which were discarded here a decade

much his conversation with Don had
to do with his offer.

Neither saw any necessity for a full
explanation. And they agreed not to

years of repressed longing-to be
able to meet life with such unfailing

achieve a philosophy which would
