' Why Do Tenant Farmers
- Move? '
r The past two months, as is
-usually the case in fall, -.has
marked the sale of much farm
i property in the rural communi
ties of ths stste from one farm
f to another. This . frequency of
(. moving, or" instability of occu
i pancy, very likely is one of the
1 chief causes for the decline of
. rural Drosnerity. or is a. hind-

Fre-

li the farmers, moving at frequent
v periods are not particularly lmer
t, sated in their upkeep. Farm
(' buildings of such farms are not
usually kept in good repair, as

will leavs the repairs for the
next tenant to make. The: same
reasons will spply for lack of in

in the schools, churches, and
j, genersl welfare of the commu-

satisfactory phrase of "country
life, but so far, apparently, has
not made exhaustive inquiry why
these farmers move. In our

might throw light upon condi
tions that could be chsnged for
the better. This section of the
country is noted for its hospita

be honest with ourselves. "Do

His Hard Task
A friend once asked sn aged
man what caused him to com
plain so often at eventide of pain
and weariness "Alas," replied
he, "I have every day so much
to do. I hsve two falcons to
tame, two hares to keep from run
ning away, two hawks to man
age, a serpent to confine, a Hon
to chain and s sic man to tend
I .-J . 'U7n

commented his friend, "you are
busy indeed I But I didn't know
that you had anything to do with
a menagerie. How then do you
make that out?" "Why," con
tinued the old man, "listen. The
two falcons are my eyes, which
I must guard diligently; the two
hires are my feet, 'which I must
keep from walking in the ways
of sin; the two hswks are my
hands, which I must train to
work that 1 may provide for my
self snd those dependent on me
aa well as for a needy friend
occasionally; the serpent is my
tongue, which 1 must keep ever
bridled lest it speak unseemly;
the lion is my heart, which I
have a continual fight lest evil
things come out of it and the
sick man is my whole body,
which is always needing my
watchfulness and cars. All
this dsily wears out my strength.

your farm or town property and
going to some place with a little
life, wouldn't you-thstts if you
COULD sell, and tf anybody else
was foolish enough to want , to
settle down and invest w a
"dead hole." Now, do you think
it Is just a fair proposition even
to your own Interest as a pro
perty owner to make a convenl
of ths local dealer when you
want pins or a smoke, and then
end your trade that is worth
having away to some galoot who
doesn't care whether you lira or
die, just so long as he gets your
money? Do you?
