FARM AND 101
By Samuel H. Hourvitch.
Editor's Note Samuel H. Hour
vitch, a world traveller, lecturer and
writer, has explored practically every
section of the civilized world. As an
expert on farm problems, the follow
ing article will be read yvith interest.
When our forefathers the Pioneer
Farmers penetrated into the Western
parts of our great country their main
object in life was to acquire as much
land as they could put a claim on.

THE LATEST CRAZE
The Corner Stone
In every structure is a headstone from which
is determined its strength.
In the structure of savings it ia tried and
proved 4y0 which stands for all that is safest and
soundest.
A young artist unversed in financial matters
returned home from a business trip to find his
mother had invested her savings in a promotion
enterprise which offered a very tempting 9cc.
"It's no good," he said. .
"But you don't know about it yet," said the
mother.
"I know that any 'outside' investment
wherein anyone with small capital can buy
stock and which offers more than 6o has an el
ement of risk in it which you can ill afford," he
replied.
Two years later events forced the mother to
sell and after all the "special clauses" had
been observed, the interest she received on her
money was less than 21.

Miss Margaret Young has set the
pace for barefoot golf and now the
blase society set of the East can
be seen out a-mornings seeking
health, barelegged on the links, be
lieving the early dew is the keynote
of continued vigor and the foe of
wrinkles.
The object of these farm-pioneers
was to get away from outside influ
ence and remain the builders of their
own destiny. Present conditions
have fully justified the vision of
these upbuilders of our great West.
By managing their own affairs with
out interruption from foreign influ
ence these farm-pioneers were able
not only to revolutionize farming at
large, but also to build up a superior
class of manhood and womanhood.
Times have changed and with them
the economical conditions as well, It
is not enough for the farmer to breed
live stock that hold the world record
in the production of milk, pork and
on the racing tracks. The modern
American Farmer does not feel sat
isfied with his ability t to produce
better farm produce at a price that
enables the American exporter to
compete successfully with the prod
ucts of many a distant country in
their own land.
It is a well known fact that it is
the farmer that won the World's War
for democracy. It is also the Amer
ican Farmer that "saved starving
humanity from hunger after the
war."
Having thus ascertained his eco
nomical and class position, the farm
er came to the conclusion that by
keeping aloft from other humanity,
he is not only missing many an ad
vantage offered to the average citi
zen of the other classes but he also
deprives the community at large of
many an important factor that helps
make our country the best place to
live in.
While our men farmers have dis
tinguished themselves in producing
better crops and farm produce, our
lady-farmers in the meantime have
accomplished more than any other
class of people on the field in which
they are best fitted by nature, inclin
ation and personal superiority.
Thanks to our lady-farmers, our
supply of "leaders" in the fields of
industry, commerce, statesmanship
and most of the learned professions
is being kept up with the increased
demands for such super men.
It's thanks to these "Mothers" that
our nation leads in the per cent of
human beings, superior in brain, su
perior in physical endurance, in per
fect beauty and the charm of its
women folk; also intellect and the
higher standards of our children at
large.
This may be the reason why the
farmer is one of the leading support-
ftrs nf nnr hpttpr rhurrli-mnvemftnf.
i our moral improvement campaign
! and the real cause of many a legis
' lative measure to brighten our task
came the leading user of telephones,
motor cars, labor-saving devices and
of the better class publications. Im
proved transportation facilities, bet
ter marketing systems and easier
ways to purchase farm supplies does
not satisfy the modern farnmr.
As soon as they have a chance Mr.
and Mrs. Farmer prefer to settle
among their friends. Unfortunately
present conditions of farming do not
permit the agriculturist to live
among his friends without sacrific
ing his farm for the benefit of social
improvement. Many a time when
the farmer has to decide between
the isolated farm and the opportun
ities offered for the success of his
children in larger communities the
farm mostly gets the worst of it. The
homestead of the family goes to the
first renter while future leaders of
the nation, needing the leadership
of "Ma-Farmer" settles in the city
and thus deprives the farm of a
most useful element.
It seems to me that a community
would solve this problem most suc
cessfully. The towns-people need
the farmer as much as the big city,
the manufacturer.
It is the farmer that keeps up the
stores, the offices, theater, banks and
business of the smaller towns on a
paying basis. It's thanks to the
farmer that the small towns-people
are enabled to keep up their duties
toward the church, the school and
other institutions. It's the farmer
that supplies work to the superfluous
hf.nds of the town. It's the farmer
that keeps our small communities
free from the evil of crooked politics,'
dishon ft public finances and internal
troubles so well known in our indus
trial and cosmopolitan districts.
Advancement of Education
Our farmers could greatly increase
the educational value of most of our
country schools by inducing the
teachers, who, by the way, are most
ly born and raised on the farm them
selves, to improve the program of
the schools by incorporating in its
program the teaching of domestic
art and science, gardening and farm
economics, social manners and the
ways of keeping the good will of
prospective customers and business
friends. Principles of self-govern.
ment based upon the constitution of
the U. S. and the state involved. The
laws and definitions of our local state
and national institutions and the
rights and privileges we enjoy as
members of our great republic. The
ways and means and requirements
necessary in applying and keeping
your job as well as to gain the con
fidence and respect of your fellow
citizens as employer and public in
stitution. How to size up human
beings and put them in the proper
place of work without hurting their
personal feelings. How to conduct

and assist in a proper manner public
iff airs without depending upon fool
ish sensational mediocre that make
our politics the laughing stock of
everybody.
A few farmers added on the Board
of the town council as trustees of
the Church and Schools means some
times a good way to reduce friction
induce honesty and straight business
in the management of a town. By
inducing the farmer to settle in town
many a small village would thus be
enabled to reduce its amount of tax
es per capita to improve its police
and fire protecting devices, to in
crease the valuation to its assess
able property and thus increase the
market ability of its lands.
Many a small village which now
depends upon outside help to keep
up their public utilities could with
the addition of only one hundred
farmers to their population utilize
their rights to grant franchises and
thus save quite a bit on their utilities.
Community Centers.
Many a farm industry which at
present is dependent upon outside
capital could be successfully utilized
by the farmers themselves personal
ly if congregated together. I don't
understand why for example a town
of 1,500 population located within
the dairy belt has to purchase man
ufactured milk from a factory while
the neighboring farmers sell their
real milk at a price of $1.30 per cwt.
Consider how much of an oppor
tunity such farm communities would
offer for the construction and main
tenance of creameries, milk conden-
senes, casein-plants, community
slaughter houses, soap factories,
tailoring establishments, toy plants,
cold storage warehouses, ice cream
plants, tanneries, brush factories,
grain elevators, fruit storage houses,
etc. The last item above named
would save millions to the farmers.
He could sell his produce at the pro
per time, buy his stuff when he
needs it from the local market thus
eliminating transportation and pay
ing interest to different middlemen
for the privilege of taking his pro
duce to and from the central mar
kets. By moving to the village our farm
er would be enabled to enjoy their
school, the library, etc. Ma Fanner
could exchange her present "Wom
an's work is never done" with an ef
ficient system of labor-saving de
vices and devote her extra time thus
gained to social work or self-improvement,
etc.
The good road problem could eas
ily help the farmer to a ride to and
from his field, in time while his
chickens and cattle would be well
protected from increased activity of
some speed maniacs who try to com
pete with each other in the amount
of damage they impose upon the
fanner.
One hundred additional fanners
would add to the average town about
25 square miles of land, consider
ing the holdings of the average farm
er to be about one hundred sixty
acres of land. Thus the farthest dis
tance for the farmer to travel from
his house to the field would be not
more than five miles. With modern
roads such a distance could be easily
traversed by auto within fifteen min
utes. Time enough for the average
farmer to accomplish his work with
out hurry and giving his wife and
children an opportunity to enjoy the
advantages of the farm and town
combined. ,

The Shorter Bible
The heretical, rationalistic
forces do not seem to be satis
fied with the witck they have
produced. They are reponsihle
for the late war. They are also
responsible for the :rinie wave
sweeping this country and Eu
rope. The orgy of sin and crims
can be traced directly to false
teachings. Like the vultures they
make a feast of the decaying car
cass. Not satisfied with the mur
der, expense, wreck, and ruin pro
duced, fhey have written a shorter
Bible which will perpetuate the
orgy.
The astonishing thing is that
there are leaders connected with
the Y. M. C A and the Y. W. C
A., who have lent their names
and their influence to the infam
ous, hell-born production called
the Shorter Bible. If the Y. M.
C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. organi
zations permit their names and
the names of their leaders to be
attached to this abortion, then the
righteous, orthodox Christian for
ces of America should crush the
Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.
Our boys and girls cannot be en
trusted to the leadership or to the
educational and club features of
institutions drawing their susten
ance from the churches of the liv
ing Christ, to have the faith of
those children undermined by
such infamous attacks upon God's
infallible Word.
The Shorter Bible, so called,
is one of the most blasphemous
attacks that has been made upon
God's Holy Bible. Let the Y. M.
C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. repudi
ate their leaders or suffer the
consequences.
Orthodox, self-respecting, con
secrated men and women will not
be insulted by such attacks of the
rationalistic forces.
