A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

LIVERY time spend weekend on farm-not
~ one OF your trick places maintained by pros
porous city commuter, but a real farm where they
raise corn and wheat and keep pigs and COWS and
chickens-I rediscover America. so to speak
And gosh, but it's good to get your feet on some
thing solid and substantial to feel about you the
power which emanates from men and women who
produce something. After every such visit I am
struck anew by the rootleSSnesS of city life
1t would be pathetic for the desk agriculturst if
he could how nonchalantly the farmer takes all
his talk about prosperity and disaster The man who
comes in from working his fields doesn't pay much
attention to the reports he reads in magazines and
certain newspapers that he is lying in his economic
death throeS.
He watches the markets, OF course. He grumbles
a good deal about this, that and the other but while
he grumbles he gees working, which is more than
some of the rest of us do
All his harping about Wall Street doesn't keep
him from feeding his COWS regularly and shearing
his sheep when the wool is ripe. He grumbes with
the surface of his mind, I believe. Underneath he
is absorbed in the seasons the rainfall the sunshine
the heat and the cold
Political tornadoeS which surge about him
like the turmoil of the elements which he has
perienced so often and knows so well. In spite of
their furry, they everlastingy the same. They
rise and they subside. Republican Administration
or Democratic, the corn must be planted and the
wheat harvested in their season.
At any rate, when 1 see him definitely as an in
dividuaI as 1 have always known him in the Middle
West-the average. upright, law-abidng farmer-I
am treasured have the feeling somehow that the
America founded by our fathers is safe.
Beyond the roar of aimless cities lies the fruit
full land Away from political turmoils the farmer
sows and reaps Whatever happens, he is there.

ANTIQUES LOST
IN HOME BLAZE
Noted Collection in Jones
Landmark Is Destroyed
Near Princess Anne, Md.
PRICELESS OLD PIECES

Only few charred timbers and
a heap of ashes remain of the
home of Denwood A. Jones, one of
the landmarks of the upper Mount
Vernon section near Princess Anne,
Md. Fire of undetermined origin
destroyed the fine old residence and
a priceless collection of antique
furniture and heirlooms it housed.
Jones was visiting a neighbor, Rus
sell Powell, when the fire was dis
covered. There had been no fire in
the stoves there for several days.
At the time of its discovery, the
blaze was in the kitchen at the
rear of the house, and was spread
ing rapidly. Although the Prin-
cess Ann Fire Department re-
sponded Immediately, it was pow
erless to save the residence, ad-
joining Grace Episcopal Church.
Reports that a quantity of dyna-
mite was stored in the building
made neighbors and farmers who
arrived unwilling to enter to save
the furniture. 1t was learned later
the dynamite, for blasting stumps,
was stored safe distance from
the flames. The house was built
in 1894 by DR.. Daniel w. Jones,
Somerset county physician, who
died on Armistice Day, November
II, 1918, at the age of sc. For
years the Jones family had stored
up furniture and heirlooms and had
refused handsome cash offers from
collectors. One of the most treas
ured objects destroyed was $50
year-old china teapot. Among
the old pieces of furniture reduced
to ashes were Chippendale chairs,
a diamond-paned corner cupboard,
mahogany and walnut sideboads,
a secretary, several tables and
other valuable pieces.
