Hanging heav ily about his neck, the sack of seed boed down the ancient sower. Today, without weight, he only holds the reins that drive the faithful team that haul around his harrowed field, the modern seeder. Today we no longer have to walk in the furrow "of the plow. V'e can mount the seat on the sulky and till vast acres where once we turned the soil of patches. Once we used to bend our backs to drop the kernels of corn and finger over the soil that covered them. Today we ride the planter tha does the bigger job in the bet ter and easier way. We used to tether hay by hand but now we tether by horse. Maud Muller had to walk the srubbled field when she raked the new mown hay. Today a loader lifts it on the rack and a harpoon throws it on the stack. Millet, the great French painter of peasants, pictured the harves ter bending low to swing his sick le. Then came the cradle. At last a Cyrus McCormick found a reap er which in its turn became the harvester, cutting and binding the ripened grain. Threshing once done by flaying the floor is now done by the threshing machine without which the great fields of grain we now sow could never be gathered in huge elevators. We have made more work pos sible by making work easier. We let the wind lift our water. The tractor has come to release the horse. The inventor is the great farm helper. The machinist has multi plied both muscle and skill of the farm hand. We work more, pro duce more and labor less. Dull drudgery is fast being made a story of the past. The soil that cultivated sullen ness in the days of Millet is cul tivating skill and prosperity today. The telephone has brought the farmer into conversing distance with his next door neighbor. The automobile has changed the measure of distance. We talk not of miles but of fitness of the roads. The moving picture has brought the ablest actor and the best in drama to our own town opera house. The farm that once was the young mans idea of what he should flee from is now beginning to mre tne town boy as the ideal vocation to work toward. Throughout all the world the oasic Dusmess is the production of food and shelter. The farm is the bulk producer; the town the refiner. I tie business has grown more productive and more profit able as it has grown less irksome and more alluring. The business farmer is the machine farmer We build bigger as we unbend backs. When the tiller of the soil is emancipated from toil, when he is able to stand erect and be a worker, as every business man is a worker, using more head than hand, then do his eyes behold the beauties of the countryside of which the poets preach. Then does the farmer become not the man with the hoe, but the man with the hope. Nothing puts this world forward taster man unbending backs. (.ommunitv. I.i many states the law vibes that when grade crossings are eliminated the villages thru which they pass must stand a good proportion of the expense. This is a heavy burden on the taxpayers. On the other hand to order the raihoads generally to eliminat crossings at grade, either by an elevation or by submerging of tracks would appear to be an un just demand. This matter of grade crossings is more than local. Indeed, it is so national in character it might be well for Washington to assist more materially than it does in checking the country's most notor ious death traps. The speed fiend is the other great factor in automobile acci dents: but neither law nor com. mon sense appeals to him death being the only remedy. grade erican life, may prove of benefit, small but Mr. Hays should be careful to see that the motion picture pendu- pre- j lum does not swing the other way to the injury of the industry. The world is filled with cranks, soreheads, and meddlesome peo ple who live to reform everything in life but their own annoying characteristics. Naturally, everyone would like to see the salacious stripped from the screen, and it will be. At the same time it is easy to bend so far backwards that some one will fall down. If the cranks have their way the film will be so emasculated that it will draw an audience of molly coddles which fortunately are in the great minority. It may be well to think of mea sures that'swill safeguard the im mature mind from undue screen influence, though even this has its dangers.
