foundations of all we know today?
And they were days OF chores
and labor. l am no supporter of
factory labor for children, but ]
have never joined with those who
clamored against proper work Of
children on farms outside their school
hours. And l speak from the COM
mon experience of most Iowa chill
dren Of my day in planting corn,
hoeing gardens, learning to milk,
saving wood, and the other proper
and normal occupations for boys.
I'VE had no need of Montesori
schools to teach us application.
Death of Parents
But Of more purpose can be-
speak for the strong and healthy
bodies which come from it all. Nor
was Iowa Of those days without its
tragedies. Medical science of those
times was p,werless against the con-
tagious diseases which swept the
countryside. My own parents were
among it's victims.

dentally gathered walnuts. The
family wove its own carpets and
some of its clothes, made its own
soap, preserved it's own meat and
fruit and vegetables, got its sweet
ness from sorghum and honey.
these families consumed per-
haps so per cent Of the product Of
their land. Twenty per cent Of it
was exchanged for the few outside
, essentials and to pay interest on the
mortgage. When prices rose and fell
on the Chicago market, they only
affected 90 per cent of the product

that today as the result Of the revo-

and improved methods of planting
ard breeding animals. and what-not
so per cent of the product of the
farms must go to the market.
The Scar on His Foot

Evangelists Launch
City Tent Meetings

A strong wind which blew down
their tent Wednesday morning at
Eighth street and Avenue D failed
to keep Bismarck's evangelists from
holding their first meeting in the

"The Hunger of the Human
Heart" was the subject of the OPEN

Ivan Miller.
Several noted evangelists will con-
duct the interdenominational meet

seat between 700 and 500 people.
Special music will be included in
the program each evening.
