THE FARMER 'AND THE
VILLAGE
Some examples of leadership
in this re-pect are recorded by
the department of Agriculture,
which has been studying the
probUm of village planning from
the stanpoint of its importance
to the rural community and
particularly t the farmer.
It is more a? a buying than
a selling place that the farmer
makes use of the village. Ia
marketing his principal products
he generally deals with some
large distribu; ( g center. But
purchaser his household supplies
in the village. He goes there
for amusement and for social
purposes generally. His children
often go to school there. An
attractive villages, says the de
partment, is an .important in
fluence in stabilizing farm life
and in counteracting the attrac
tions which cities have for the
young people of the farms. As
the farmer's chief point of con
tract with outside interests, the
village can make a big contribu
tion to the happiness of farm
life, even if it be considered from
no other standpoint that the
fact that it is the place where
the farmer spends a large part of
his income. U. S. Department

LORD ROTHERMERE'S
WAGER
L?rd Rothermere, brother of
'the late Lord Northciffe, million
aire owner of a chain of news
Dapars. has done something he
may be sorry for. He has ac
cepted a challenge, at the age of
56, to take a schoolboy's genera'
knowledge examination. If he
fails to grade 75 per cent h
agrees to pay a thousand pounds
to the labor party and if he wins
his challenger. W. C. Cove,
president of ehe national union
of teachers, agrees to pay 300
pounds to the Newspaper Fund.
The challenge and its accept
ance grew out of a criticism made
by the Daily Mail of questions
asked Engli-h school children and
the low grades they scored. In
his comebacK Mr. Cove offered to
ask Rothermere 18 general qt.es
tifns and give him seven arith
metic problems to work.
It is by no means certain the
titled Englishman can pass the
test as well as he thinks. There
is a tendency on the part of
adults these days to underesti
mate present day school work
and present day juvenile ability.
It is nut up to the standard of
the "good old days," many think.
Yet two years we had a spelling
contest at the Rotary club in
Pendleton and that theory din
not hold up. Four very youth
ful lads from the Washington
school outspelled a picked quar
tet from the Rotarians including
a former high school professor, a
newspaper man, a doctor and a
college graduate.
Lord Rothermere may find his
18 general questions and his
arithmetic problems more baff
ling than he supposes. East

There is only one way that the
children of Nome or of your
town or any other town can be
protected against having diphth -
eria, unit mat is oy naving toxin
antitoxin as a preventive treat
ment. The Schick test is painless and
harmless tiny injection into the
skin which definitely shows
whether or not children are im
mune' to diphtheria, that is,
whether they are naturally safe
from the disease. We can all
know whether or not we are im
mune to diphtheria.
But that is only the beginning.
If ve are not immune, we can
be made so by what is known as
the toxin-antitoxin treatment.
This treatmeut consists in inject
ing under the skin three small
doses of dhtheria toxin-antit-oxen,

not a fad. It is proven Bafe

The Small Town Beautiful
Where villages are being made
more beautiful, the impetus has
come in nearly every case from
local initiative. Villages that
have well-planned streets,
attractive recreation spots, and
pleasing approaches are nearly
ways iudebted for these ad
vantages to the energy and public
spirit of some small group of
citizens. Under such insoii ation
dump heaps have been turned
into garden spots, unsightly
shacks and dilapidated stores
haVe been torn dowu and replaced
by smart, substantial business
buildings, and extensive pro
grams of landscape gardening
and tree planting have been
undertaken. Villages that have
embarked on this path are find
ing that beauty pays. It im
proves local business and'attracts
tourist business. It enhances
real estate values, and has

Cut Machinery Cost
In Half
The man who leaves his machines in the fields is pay
ing, by depreciation, for an implement shed, but not
getting the shed..
You can cut your machinery cost in half by prolong
ing its life anq usefulness. You can double the life ot
an implement by putting it under cover as soon as you
are through using it
The cost of an implement shed to protect $2,000.00
worth of machinery is only a fraction of that sum.
We have many excellent implement slrd plans to show
you, and we hive the right material to build just the
kind and size building you -require. Do not make the
mistake of building before you examine our up-to-date
implement shed plans, we will be glad to have you call
and examine them, whether you are building now or
later.
