Face to Face With . Dr. Francis H. Rowley The I’riend of Millions of Dumb Animals i i (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) * Now comes what seems like a cruel [ edict, sweeping the horses from the Streets —th* good, old faithful Dobbin gives way to the dread juggernaut of the automobile. The passing of horses brings to mind the work of the lute George T. Angell and the establshment of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. If dumb animals could speak, how the memory of Mr. Angell would be praised and revered. The work of the "Society of the Umg Name" is now being carried 'on by Dr. Francis 11. Rowley, of Boston, who besides being president of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is also president of the American Humane Society, and tho Parent American Band of Mercy. Having radicated kindness ever since the day of his birth. Dr. Rowley is the logical man to serve as the head ot these nationally known Humane Societies. On a warm July day in 1854 In Hilton, New York. Dr. Rowley started h's career. Tho son of a country doctor, he graduated from the Uni -j verslty of Rochester In 1875. and the Rochester Theological Seminary in 1878. He held successful pastorates in Baptist churches <)f Pennsylvania Massachusetts, and llNnols. While| nastor of the First Bnntist Church in Boston he was called to this larger, leld and res gned to take up the tuties as president of the American Humane Education Society. Throughout his life Dr. Rowley has teen intensely Interested in humane work, especially in connection with 'he Children's Friend Society of Bo*-i on An earnest and eloquent advo I ate for kindness, he has found great .pportunity for the exercise of his' philanthropic principles in carrying m the great work innugurated hy his friend. Dr. George T. Angell. The M. P. C A. is an Institution of wide; mportance with a building and bos-: nital equ pment for unlmal* in Boston ■ that is not surpassed anywhere in the! world. As many as 1.650 cases are: abed for and 375 operation* perform <! within a single month.

not drop it. it you have not subs<rib er for tickets make known your desire to do so at ones and the local directors will be clad to carry out your wish. A chuutauqua furnishes dean entertainment at small cost and the educational features derived from the lectures and programs are many. There is sou.c-thlng rather api»ealing about the old gentleman who Is "touring" in a rickety old buggy drawn by a little bay horse. He is journeying from Chicago to Bemidji. Minn. At the end of the first three weeks he had reached Chippewa Falls. Six weeks Is the scheduled time for the complete trip. The old-fashioned traveler stops at tourist camps like any modern motorist, and prepares his meals with the best of them. "I travel slowly," be says. "I ana all that there is to see, I pick up Impression* of towns, meet people and huve a Brat rate time ail the while." And why shouldn't he? If be doesn't mind the dust that passing automobiles throw about him. and It motorists don’t mind having tc pass tbe rickety buggy and plodding steed, wmyhody ought to be happy. And what rushed cltlsen would'nt envy tbe buggy rider big leisure?—Ooshrn News-Times. To which might be added. He'll gel there yet if the old steed does not die on the road. *■■—■ ■ Elmer W.

;• ' : A. f - -iHsRI f jXI i -W'O. * II $ 11 ' J* f DR. FRANCIS H. ROWLEY says: j "We cannot teach children too ■ early the value of kindness to dumb animals.” I When Dr. Rowley secured the pasJ sage of the first law in the MassaI < husetts Legislature authorizing the ( > erection of memorial tablets to animals in the Capitol building, and giv- ! ing the M 8. P. C. A. the right to be i present and investigate all places 1 where animals are slaughtered or delivered for transportation, he started a great crusade for humane legislaI tion. Dr. Rowley has probably accomplished more in the extension of kindness to animals than any other Ind!I vidual in this county. In 1918 he founded the Jack London Chib, in which three hundred thousand members have pledged their influence t.gu'm-t that phase ot cruelty to ani • mals which consists in a forced training for performing on the stage. Thirteen foreign correspondent representatives are Ifj touch with his ■ office, carrying on the educative work I in far distant lands, extending from South American countries to Madeira. ' Turkey. Japan, and In fact all parts lof the world. Leaflets by the millions are distributed day by day, and that old classic, "Black Beauty" is preserved and reprinted for future generat ous to obtain a glimpse nt what the dear ’ old horses were to the previous generations —faithful and loyal cornpan- | IMS. Our childhod pets—dogs. cats. ■ birds, every l v:ag animal that can- ' not speak, has a friend in the Court <rf Public Opin'on in the person of | Dr. Rowley, who in his office gave hue a parting word: "We cannot teach children too early 'the value of kindness to dumb ani I mals. It is easy to teach children 'kindness, for it i* a natural trait with I them.”

I»est step that may lie taken. The same argument has been made in recent yar* by nearly all of the agricultural experts. State agricultural universities, county agents, farm or- 1 ganlzation. farm papers and other in- ' fluences have been at work to eon-1 vince tbe farmer that he must have more irons in the fire, or—to express it another way that he must not place all of his eggs in one basket. If a farmer raises nothing but wheat, and has a poor crop and a cheap market. it follows that he has no chincel fur a profit from hl* operations that 1 season. Tbe farmer who devotes all I of this time to corn may have the I same trouble, hairy products sell! at a good profit. Poultry product* I i are In demand throughout tbe year.l If a farmer ha* a plot of ground that t he can convert Into an orchard be can make it a souftv of revenue. The j farmers who have gone tn tor more ( than one crop or product are mostly in fairly good shape financially. If they have failed to get returns from one part of the farm they have found y some other profitable and In that way tbelr balance sheet* may show a gain, despite gcnral adverse condition*, r Diverslßod farming may call for more capital, more help and a more bustI uesalik* management of the farm, but ( It promises better result* than sticking tn one thing and facing a situation where.
