We Must Unbend Backs.
Richard Li.oyd Jonf.s.
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.

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.

small but Mr. Hays should be careful to
see that the motion picture pendu-

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.

In the past eighteen

Americans, as a result of automo

while in :he last vear and a hall

of I'irttor car accidents.
