This popularity with tl'o largo reading public Is a re ward which men such as Caiieton merit. They are not writers of distinction In a literary way, but .they aio good fellows In their books ! as In their lives, warming tho hearts or friend and foo with genial pleas antry or touching them to sympathy with pathetic appeal. Such writers are Hko wholesome, l.o.iitly pjinpaiiloiiH along n dusty nnd sometimes cheerless road. Ov erhead are tie stars or tho fleecy clouds or tho glaring light of the sun. Hut these nro remote even though Inspiring. Tho human mind ! longs sometimes for simple, gracious comradsblp, something that Is warm and oasy and unoxnctlng.

This Is another case of getting the cart Hiiinrely In front of tit linim If conditions of rural life aio not now such as 1 1 bold tho people whoso training Is agriculture, what likelihood Is there that iiioro money premiums will persuade a city pop ulation that knows nothing of ag riculture to remain lu tho country'.'

Tlmt reason Is not' hnrd to find, nor Is the remedy bard to npply. Life In the eounlry has always lioon the attraellvo life. Every arls-tod-vv has been a land-owning ar istocracy. It has been only lu our times when the farnior Is still pin tiniliiK that the marvelous conven iences or the city linvo turned sbo tide. Country life has not kept up with city life In its bid foi tho well-to-do.

Smith Co. and tho city or Marshfield for $TGOO. He alleged that tho Smith Company had dumped a load of wood In tho street on South Hroad way, that tho city had permitted the obstruction to remain there and Hint this was responsible for the dentli of his brother, whoso motor cycle collided wltli It. Tho case was hard fought, ninny technical poluta being raised. Among the evldeiico Introduced was a statement signed by a num ber saying that they know that Parker was not Intoxicated at tho time of the accident. Some of those whoso names woro attached to the statement have since de clared that thoy did not know the statement contained this declaration or they would not hnvo signed It.
