Plans for the construction of an
eight-story apartment house having a
construction cost Of approximately
$250,000, to be erected at 1910 Sixteenth

large-scale farming is more successful than small
scale.
1t has been found that it Is about six of one and
half dozen Of the other.
The large scale farm make its labor specialize
more buy and sell In larger quantities to financial
advantage. and the weather would just cooperate
it could make efficient use of machinery.
But the large-scale farm can not meet the small
scale farm In what may be called the human ele-
ments.
It's labor has personal interest There is no
heart in the work. 1t even is more difficult to get
labor for the large-scale farm than for the small
scale, and that has been sufficiently difficult.
When everything is weighed and analysed 1t is
found that the smallscale farm makes just as luch
money as the large-scale, proportionately.
Hence, there would seem to be no adequate reason
for looking forward to time when we would do our
farming wholesale.
Farming calls for different organization methods
than does industry The only type of merging being
advanced by the leaders today narrows down to men,
bershp in co-operatives.

Materialism Has Fine Side

It Is the fashion in this country especially among
people who are better educated than the average 10
sneak slehtingly Of America as "materialiStic ma
ton"
Nv this of course 1t is meant that We think TOO
much about making money and not enough ABOUT
living finer freer and more satisfying lives our scale
of values is material rather than spiritual the cash
ledger IS If not our Bible at least our prayer book.
All of this sounds quite discouraging Yet 1nere Is
side to it that often is overlooked. One OF the ap
proaches to fine spiritual civilization may lie SVrae'
through the region Of Grass materialtieS
Take this little story as an illustration.
Not long ago California farmer loaded refr1g-
orator ship with cargo of green vegetables and ripe
fruits from his farm and sailed for the ORIENT de-
termned to see lands like China the PhiiippineS
and the Malay Islands could not provide gooo mar
ket for such produce The home market was glutteo'
Prices were low An industrious farmer with 1erVhe
niece of ground could not always count on nnlsnng
the wear with more money than he had when he
began It,
So this enterprising farmer sailed to the orient.
He visited a dozen ports-Shanghai Manila, Soura-
bava Bankok. Saigon Batavia and he found a ready
and eager market for his wares He sold all he nao'
at nice profit and returned home to tell his fellow
farmers that the orient properly cultivated could
make them all prosperous
Now that man was strictly materialist He want
ed only one thing-a chance to get more dollars Xe'
the thing he did may eventually open the way TO
broader finer life for many many men and women.
Despite all our talk about the crassness OF the
ouest for money the fact remains that 1t Is lot
easier to get spiritual values into your life you
have money than If you had not Nothing shuts
man out from free and satisfying existence ike
poverty.
Consider it. now; on farm where there Is
constant struggle to make both ends meet, how are
men women and children going to lead lives that are
ANYTHING but sordd, uninspiring fights for more
money? How can they enjoy the fruits OF rich
acknowledgements literature leisure quiet study and
renectionf They simply can't. The Job OF making
a living takes all their time.
But suppose "materialistic" explorer finds them
new market and enables them to make more money!
They are freed from the grip of poverty They have
the time and the money to go after the things that
are really worth having They can think about some
thing besides their bread and butter.
The "materialist" has been given too bad name
There are times when he by way of being our sal
vation.

Questions and

What is a good way to put away
furs for the summer?
Seal them in large brown paper
bags, having first brushed and aired
them thoroughly, or sew them In
heavy unbleached muslin bags. En-
close with them either commercial
moth balls or soak plotting paper In
a mixture of equal parts of camphor
and spirits of turpentine and lay
the paper among the furs. Ex-
pensive furs should be sent to a
furrier for storage if possible. 1t Is
practically impossible to do any"
thing with a fur or fur coat that
has been attacked by moths.
What do the names Elsie and

Elsie means mirthful and june

The cost Of purifying municipal

Since the introduction of public

Life'S Big Mysteries

WHAT doctors don't know and
w what will cure a seemingly
hopeless affliction combine to form
one of the greatest mysteries we
face.
Amandus Paulsen, attorney, of
Santa Cruz, Cal, was hit by an auto
mobile five years ago with partial
paralysis as the result.
He consulted specialist after spe-
cialist, but to no avail.
Finally, he decided that the best
thing for him to do was to commit
suicide. So he slashed his throat
with a butcher knife, turned on the
gas, and lay down in a bathtub full
Of water to see whether he would
bleed to death, drown or be asphyxi-
ated.
He was discovered before death
arrived and taken to the hospital,
where 1t was found his paralsis had
disappeared when he regained con-
seriousness.
