The one-family farms are still a
problem but corporation agriculture
should be avoided as it would ulti-
mately destroy typical American
farming which is now the chief re-
naming source of our national initi-
ative and independence. By dispens-
ing with it the evils will be avoided
and the good may be secured
through cooperation.
To have a better farm life and ex-
cellent rural schools with highly ef-
ficient and well paid teachers, there
should be a way to get farmers off
the poor land an don the good and
fine solution of the problem is to
make and carry to completion an
American Land Survey.

The future of farm life and its re-
lation to the rural school system has
become a very significant factor as
the prosperity of agriculture affects
rural education very directly. If far
mers cannot make a competency
from their occupation they will not
and cannot build schools or nav good
salaries to teachers. Real prosperity
in urban life is also hindered; hence
the need of cooperation.
The future of farm life and its re-
lation to the rural school system
needs downright consideration for
several reasons; all sources of life,
food, clothing and shelter directly or
indirectly, come from the soil; the
immense importance of farmers but
never so much so as at the present
tims-one being ten times as impoc-
tant now as during colonial times.
Their contribution to national life
and the knowledge of the fact that
no nation ever existed without a
sturdy, healthful country life.
Farm life having been declining
considerably for nearly two decades,
owing to a number of causes, chiefly
lack of organization, reaction from
the World War, low prices of crops,
scarce and high-priced labor, expen-
sive farm machinery, insects, dis
eases and weather conditions, a
number of remedies Ito keep it from
becoming a failure) must be devised

SECRETS OF

BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch--
AIO individual living is without

AIo individual living is without

Each one OF us Is likely to
make mistakes, disappoint our
friends, and somehow at some
time or ot@B create doubt ia
the minds OF those who care for
us.
And when We do commit error,
when we fall from the pedestal
that adoring or beloved persons
have placed us on, there is a
cruel and harsh awakening.
And such awakenings usually
hurt!
In like manner does It hurt
when the reverse Is true-when
we are disappointed in somebody
else! To guard against such
heartaches we must also guard
against the habit of mind that
leads to those catastrophes. We
must realize our human frailties,
those that everybody possesses,
and stop overidealizing.
We tend too often and too much
to overestimate in every particu-
lar some one whom we admire in
one particular. We become ac-
quainted with a stranger on
railway journey or a steamship,
for instance. He appears gentle
manly and kind. We are led to
believe, therefore. that he IL

activities, in business as well as

But is not the fault really ours?

Human Race.

about the middle aged wives

wherein they have failed.
They have been virtuous wives,

thrifty and industrious, and good
housekeepers and they don't see
why their husbands are not salts

and grandfathers were satisfied
with their wives"
So they blame 1t on looks"
"Ha." they cry with one voice,
that's it. Our husbands have
fallen out of love with US because
we are no longer young and
beautiful and slim"
But they're wrong" says
Dorothy Dix. II get thousands
of letters from these middle-aged
men who are married to women
of whom they are sick unto death,
women whom they have even
come to loathe and hate, and not
one of these disgruntled husbands
has ever raised point of his
wife's looks. No: invariably the
mans complaint about his wife
has been that he was tired of his
wife because she was dull and
stupid and bored him to distrac-
ton because she never read, never
thought, never grew, never had an
original idea or a new viewpoint,
never did anything to make her.
