Girl's Idea of Men.
A little girl wrote this composition

ry. They drink and smoke and swear,
but dont go to church. Perhaps if
they wore bonnets they would. They
axe more logical then women and also
more soologlcal. Both men and wom

women sprue further than the men."

One of the most convenient and
modern farmhouses of moderate cost
the writer has seen Is owned by a
farmer In Ohio. It la comfortable
and handsome, and the farmer and
hia family enjoy practically all of the
advantages that are to be found In
city homes. The house has few an

ity and beauty.

feet 6 Inches. The exterior walls

RACE SUICIDE
AMONG FARMERS
Decline In Population Shown by
Last Census in Atrlcnllnral
Areas Due to Discourage
snent of Married Workers.
fBy C. R BARNS.)
The pitiful story was told recently
In a northern daily paper of an In
dustrious and capable farm laborer
who bad answered several advertise
ments of farmers In need of just such
experienced services as he was able
i to render; but whoe application was
rejected. In each Instance, because he
! bad a wife and two small children,
j The farmers wanted neither ronen
' nor children about their farms. So
; this competent farm worker was
; obliged to accept employment In a
city stable.
It is to be feared that this Is by no
means an Isolated Instance. Human
kindness has been so far eliminated,
In many cases, from the relationship
between the farmer and his hired
help, and that relationship has been
put so exclusively on a bard business
basis, that the complaint Is common
that "the farmer cares more for the
comfort and happiness of bis cattle
and hogs than be does for the well-
j being of his men."
Under healthier conditions In rural
I life, the married workman would re-
ceive the same preference that he
generally does from employers In
mercantile and manufacturing pur
suits; as being more reliable and Ipss
likely to seek a change, If fairly well
treated, than the single man. AsMo
from this, however, there Is a moral

lighting plant may be Installed at a
cost of $375.
As both the heating and lighting
plants are entirely safe, easy to oper
ate and the expense of running them
less than the cost of operating or us
ing oil lamps and stoves. It would
seem that their use would pay. to say
nothing of the added comfort and
pleasure derived from them.
The funiace will without doubt pre
vent much sickness If the fresh air
shaft Is properly Installed, and the
gas lights will save the housewife
much labor; alo you will have a light
equal to any city light, tlectrlcity not
excepted.
The cellar has an Inside entrance
under the main stairway, also an out
side entrance.
Root cellar, front room, etc.. are
provided In the basement.
The pantry Is so located that it pre
vents the heat from entering the dining-room
during the summer months
and contains china closet with doors
opening to dining-room, cupboard,
flour bin, etc.
All rooms are of good size well
lighted, and ample closet room is pro
vided; also a good-sized linen closet.
The living-room has an open fire
place which also his smoke flue for
the furnace. The large arches con
necting the dining-room, hall and living-room
causes these rooms to seem
larger than they really are, and with
suitable rugs, curtains, etc., a beauti
ful effect may be obtained.
The house has no fancy work, but
when neatly painted will present a
very good front and will not look out
of place on almost any building lot.
and for many reasons this building
seems especially adapted to rural dis
tricts. and social obligation, resting at least
as strongly on the farmer as on any
among workers, and thus to promote
stability in rural populations and to
discourage the nomadism among la
borers which Is the bane of our agri
cultural enterprises.
It Is altogether probable that the
actual decMne In population, shown
by the last census to have taken
place In extensive agricultural areas,
Is due to the discouragement of mar
riage among farm workers, and the
refiipal of employment to men with
families.
That way lies the decline of states
and the ruin of democracy. If we
want growth in population, and the
perfect working out of the Demo
cratic ideas underlying American In
stitutions, we muKt reverse our meth
ods, welcome rather than repel the
man with a family, and be willing to
share with him some portion of the
opportunities of the farm.
Utmost Precautions Needed.
Impure milk will be the result If the
utmost precautions are not taken In
handling It, and Impure milk neces
sarily means that lis products will al
so be Impure and have very poor
keeping qualities. It should be remem
bered that all contamination depends
upon some form of bacteria, which
are present everywhere and which
multiply very readily under certain
conditions and temperatures.
