It's In The Air
This 'weather is hard on chronic grouches. Oh, no, not the
fact of the sunshine, or the. snow, or even the gentle ruin, nil of
which, we are just discovering, really have much to recommend
them. It's the time of year, you know the short days and long
nights. It's the mysterious sly. whispers, the conversations that
stop so abruptly when certain persons appear.
It's the laughter v.o hear,, now more than ever, on the streets!
in the living room, at the bench, the desk, the barnyard. It'sr
the wistful look kids have, the unsuccessful attempts they make
lo read the countenances of their parents. What scowling old
gxump can escape it! s
You may have the rheumatism, the wheat may still be on

- Considerable 'discussion is lieard these days as to the means
that may be adopted to keep folks 'on the farm. The situation
hasj'beeome serious, for many experienced farmers are moving
intdjthe cities, either for the purpose of earning' what they con
sider easier money, or to use their savings in giving their
.children and themselves the advantage of city life. Whatever
theiicause, the situation . remains;. and it. constitutes a problem (ioerin

than those who see thorn every day. It is a case where iamil
iarity sometimes breeds contempt.
Tn the matter of better school facilities in the towns, there is
jn most, cases no place for argument, although some progress
has been made in a number of states to bring about a centrali
zation of teaching that gives country pupils some of the. advan
tages of the city in a course of study.
; There is nothing to justify undue pressure to keep men and
women and boys and girls on the farms. Rural life should be
so attractive in itself that enough persons will make choice of
the' country life to insure the crops of grain and quantities of
: other foodstuffs needed to maintain all the people at a reasonable
cost.
Washington Evening Hta: Though j

years, in those times which we have

of the East and North. Men were be

more Jobs "in the great Industrial and

Who want them." It is said that Jobs
arc plentiful, and in some sections

good pay. The automobile building j
industry promises to continue at full i
lilt throughout the winter. Employ-!
in con- Iment departments In the steel mills1
say that scarcity of labor und not of
orders Is the reason that some plants
are not operating ut cupacity. News
from the Northwest Is that "empioy-
,'ment is at an exceptional level, and
sufficient men are not availablo for
every line." In the District of Colum
