THE RURAL TEACHER j Bears Heavy Burden of Civilization. Bv Peter Radford, lecturer National Farmers' Union. With the new development of rural life, there comes the demand for In creased educational facilities and the Impulse of universal education which j Is sweeping the country calls for In telligent and consecrated leadership In our rural schools. It is upon the rural teacher that one of the heaviest burdens of clvilliation falls, for not only must he lay the foundation of education, hut he must also instill Into the pupils the real love for country life, which will bold him on the farm and help to stem the townward tide. In the city, the teacher is a cog in the vast wheel of educational machin ery; in the country he ie the wheel. It is he who must mold the character, inspire the Ideals and shape the des tiny of the farm boys and girls, and if he Is fitted by nature for the taask, sot only will the results of his ef forts be reflected In the pupils, but gradually the whole community will be leavened with a new ambition for progress. He can organize around the school the main interests of the boys and girls and develop the impulse for co operation, which in time will displace the old competitive individualism and make rural social life more congenial and satisfying. The possibilities for making the rural school the social and economic center of the commu nity are almost endless, and the facul ties of the rural teacher may have full play, for it will take all his Urns and Ingenuity if he attains the full measure of success. Must Be Community Leader. A noted college professor recently aid that three things are now re quired of a rural teacher. The first requirement is that he must be strong enough to establish himself as a lead er in the community in which he lives and labors; second, that he must have a good grasp on the organisation and management of the new and scientific farm school and, third, that be must show expert ability in dealing with the modern rural school curriculum. If he lives up to the opportunities of fered him as a rural leader, he will train boys and girls distinctly for rural life, not only by giving them the rudiments of agricultural training, but by enabling them to see the at tractive side of farm life, and to real ise that it is a scientific business, and one of the most complex of all pro fessions with opportunities as great as those of any other calling. "School for Parents" Needed. The duties of the rural teacher are more varied and complicated than those of the city teacher, and he some times has to Include the parents in directing his efforts for the best re sults. In communities where the old er population ie opposed to any de parture of the younger generation from established customs in either social or economic life, their co-operation can often be secured by calling community meetings and instructing the parents on matters of community Interest It is related that a success ful young teacher in a remote local ity had weekly meetings attended by parents of his pupils, which finally evolved into a "school for' parents" in which they were taught how to live a community life In its broadest and biggest sense. Social Features Essential, The successful rural school is the vital social and economic center of the community and the successful rural teacher is the one who realises that the responsibility of training lo cal leaders for the future devolves upon him. Organized play, Inter community athletics, community fes tivals, lyceum and debating clubs, T. M. C. A.'s, with occasional neighbor hood entertainments, utilizing borne talent, contests in cooking and various other phases of home economics, in corn and hog clubs and other agricul tural activities are a few of the meth ods employed by the successful rural teacher in stimulating Interest and enthusiasm while teaching them the fundamental principles of successful community life. Farming Is a business proposition and the farmer Is the biggest business man in business. Don't forget the faithful old friend the horse remember he is prone to become tired as well as yourself. Some of the world's first gentlemen and scholars and patriots were farm ers and today some of the world's best thought is given to farming. Small patches of quack grass may be pretty effectually exterminated by spading them up to the depth of eight or nlr t Inches and carefully shaking the roots free from dirt and banging them on the fence. When dry they should b.. burned. The cranberry marshes in the state of Wisconsin are said to produce as high as $1,400 worth of fruit per acre in a single season. Under clean cul tural methods the yield of the berries has been increased in a good many cases nearly 100 per cent. 'TACT" AND A PLUMBES." rVasterly Inactivity at a Banquet In High Society. Not so very ions into there was a dinner Riven tn exclusive ushlnstou soWoty nt wbk-b the most t:ottul per son was undoubtedly s plumber In overalls. It was an eluborate dinner. The central feature ot the table decora tions was a pinytuR fuuutaln, but just before tile dtuuer was to be served the fountain refused to play. A plumber was hastily called. lie crawled under the table and soon bad the fountain sending delicate spray into the air. lie was busy tightening the couplings of the temporary pipes under tli ubU when the bead butter, his mind rellevod of load of care when be saw tho fountain playing, an nounced in the drawing room: "Dinner Is served." Before the plumber kuew what was happening the guests bad entered the dining room, chairs were drawn up, and be suddenly found himself hem med tn by a wall In which trousers al ternated wltb skirts. It was a big round table, so be was safe from discovery from any shifting foot Ue scratched his bead and won dered what be should da lie looked carefully around. Neither to the right nor to the left nor between any pair of feet was there sulllclent space for nim to wiggle through. The only way to get out would be to tap on some knee and "I'ardon me, please." Ue didn't know much about the eti quette of formal dinner parties, but be bad a hunch that that wouldn't make a hit He decided that there was Just one thing to do stay where he was ontll the trousers and skirt wall departed. 80 there be sat while course after course was served, coffee sipped, ciga rettes and cigars smoked, nothing to entertain blm bat a ground floor view of high society. When the dinner was at last over and the guests bad returned to the drawing room the plumber crawled forth. The hostess had tarried for ft mo ment to give a few directions to the bead butler, bbe gasped wltb aston ishment The plumber explained. "Sir," said she, "70a are a gentle man." Then to the bead butler; "James, give this man (10 for him self." Then to the plumber, "And please say nothing." New Zork Times. SHOEMAKING IN AMERICA. Massachusetts Now Turns Out Nearly Half the World's Product. Thomas Beard, arriving by the May flower In 1629, was the first shoemak er to come from England to America. He settled at Salem, Mass. More than $250,000,000 la now In vested In American sboemaking and more than 200X100 wage earners are employed. Before 1830 practically every shoe ma king process was a hand process. Lynn, Mass, wltb over 100 factories, la the leading shoe city of the world. Of the world's boots and shoes mors than 47 per cent are made In Massa chusetts. John Brooks Nichols of Lynn adapt' ed the Howe sewing machine to sew the uppers of shoes in 1851, and this was the first Important step In the ap plication of machinery to sboemaking. William V. Trowbridge at Felton ville, now a part of Marlborough, Mass., applied horsepower to the sboe making machinery of 1855. 8 team and water power came later. The poet Whlttler was a shoemaker in his youth. Henry Wilson, eight eenth vice president of the United States, was "the NaUck cobbler" and was always proud of his sboemaking days. Ebenezer Breed of Lynn la credited with securing by personal Influence the first protective tariff on shoes. He was a merchant of Revolutionary times. August Destouy, a New York me chanic.

The myrtle warbler breeds In the northern and eastern pans of the United States, but migrates through every woodland path and la so numer ous that It Is familiar to every obser ver. More than three-fourths of Its food consists of insects, practically all of which are harmful. The bird Is small, nimble and successfully attacks Insects too minute to be prey for larger birds. These Insects are its chief Items of food. Antiquity of the Grape.

By Peter Radford. Lecturer National Farmers' I'nlnn. The principal function performed by government today Is to collect taxes, keep records and prevent and punish crime; but that is not sufficient. Oov ernment should tip Its hut to the Hod dess of Opportunity as courageously as it draws a six-shooter on a train robber. We oukIiI to eucaurase thrift as well as restrain greed. We have been basing legislation upon the ex tremes of human life the classes high and low, the depraved and the talented let us now riuu-ta the masses ajid the extremes will' more nearly disappear. Our statutes are filled to overflowing with pity and revenge; let us add opportunity. The slogan of the Farmers' Union Is co-operation. Not only among In dividual farmers, but between all led- tlmate and useful occupations. We want to sit around the hearthstone of industry and talk over problems of mutual Interest with our neighbors. We want to Invite those who are earnestly searching for Information on public questions to get back to the soil with their Investigations where. In the stillness of nature, they can climb the mountain-top of wis dom, explore the deep canyons of knowledge and stroll through the quiet valleys of understanding. There Is no problem in clvilliation that cannot be found tn its native state on the farm. The labor, edu cational, financial, transportation, home-building and all other problems are there. We will discuss a few of them. The Labor Problem. We bow to the dignity of labor. No one would be willing to do more to lighten the burdens. Increase the safety, comforts and profits of those who labor tn commerce and Industry than their fellow tollers In agricul ture. But bow about the farmer who bows his back to teed and clothe the world, and who works from sun until sun? Is he not also entitled to an Increase In pay and a shortening of hours? Much baa been said about the women in the factory and behind the counter, but how about the woman tn the field, drenched In perspiration, gathering the harvest, the little chil dren, their lips wet with mother's milk, toiling by her side? Are they not also entitled to consideration? Is not the man who digs In the ground entitled to the same consideration as be who toils at the forge, weaves at the loom and works behind the count er The farmer has been bearing his burdens ss pstiently as the beast he plows, but Is patience a bar from Jus tice? Tbe labor problem of Virginia today Is on the farm, and the first attention should be given those who labor In tbe field. The Need of Cheap Money. Agriculture has never been proper ly financed. The farmer pays a much higher rate of Interest as a rule than any other class or borrower and his property, especially that of farm prod ucts, la not so readily accepted as a basis of credit as the property ' ot other lines of Industry of equal mar ket value. A rural or land credit system Is needed that will enable a farmer to buy a home on long time at a cheap rate of interest. A statute based on sound business principles that will enable the land less to buy and encourage the large land owner to sell, is much needed, and one that merits the most serious consideration of our law makers. The financial problem of the state and nation Is on the farm, and first attention should be given those who create the nation's wealth. It Is an admitted economic fact that there can be no permanent prosperity without a permanent agriculture. An up-to-date farmer must have as accurate knowledge of today and a clear vision of tomorrow. In this age of advancement In agri cultural science there Is no excuse for soil depletion to further menace the nation's prosperity. Soil Is not a dead, inert substance, as many suppose. It is an active, virile force, full of energy and power and the farmer should know his soil If he would maintain Its productiveness. 1 Agriculture is recognized as tbe greatest of all Industries and a pros perous, progressive and enlightened agricultural population Is the surest safeguard of civilization. Heating stoves may be kept from rusting during their periods of nonuse by coating them Inside and out with any good graphite stove blacking, which should not be polished. The nickel plated portions should be pol ished and coated with vaseline. One of New York city's largest milk retailing firms has 8,000,000 bottles In service, and of this number about 6,000,000 are lost or broken annually. It would seem as if there were a lot of folks whose milk bill might be cut down materially if they would take better care of their bottles. LAST TifHEE PRESIDENTS OPPOSED TO PROHIBITION WW PRESIDED WILSON SAYS: "I am in favor of Local Option. I am a thorough believer in LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT and believe that every self governing community which constitutes a social unit should have the right to CONTROL the matter of the regulation or the withholding of licenses," Wf WILLIAM HOWARD TIFT Ex-Preeldent, Btateeman. Jurist and frofeeeor, In so address on Clvlo Duty, uid: "Nothing is more foolish, noth ing more utterly at variance with sound policy, than to en act a law which, on account of conditions surrounding the community, is incapable of en forcement. Such instances are . . . presented by sump tuary laws by which the sale of intoxicating liquors is pro hibited under penalties in lo calities where the public senti ment . . . will not sustain the enforcement of the law." f'A "LZJm THEODORE ROOSEVELT Ex-President, Soldier, Explorer and one of the most remark able leaders in the United States, is a strong champion of LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT and Home Rule. He has never raised his voice in behalf of statewide prohibition, and so he has suffered attacks from radical and hysterical prohibi tionists. As between a man of Theodore Roosevelt's ability and standing and those who are the paid emissaries of pro , fessional propagandists, the voters of Oregon will not be slow in passing upon the wis dom and credibility of the witnesses.
