FARM & GARDEN

ARTISTIC PLAN OF HOMESTEAD. Keep the Place Beautiful by Setting Out Shrubs and Trees. In the adornment of a farm house by the planting of shrubs and trees little expense need be incurred. The labor of preparing a lawn or grading a driveway can be done by the farmer himself, and $lO or S2O will buy all

Layout of Farmers Home.

the ornamental trees required from the nursery. S It is to be borne in mind that trees grow handsomer each year and will add hundreds of dollars to the value of the home. Notice the place the man of means picks out when he goes to look for a country home. He doesn’t drive up to some tumble-down farmstead with the trees neglected and half dead. Of course net He tries to buy a place with beautiful shrubs, trees and lawns. If our farms were more beautiful the boys and the girls wouldn’t be so anxious to leave them.

Absence of Alfalfa.

Considering the comparative ease and certainty of getting alfalfa established, when proper methods and care ere used, the absence of fields of this legume on thousands of farms where it should represent 10 to 50 per cent of the total cultivated acreage is astounding.

Desirable Sheds.

Machine sheds are very desirably but in the absence of shelter, cleaning, oiling and painting the machinery will go a long way towards preserving it from rust and decay.

Lure of the Country Grips Young Farmer

Hears Passenger In Suburban Train and Then Spends Day In Chicago—Farm Lassie and Home For Him.

A farmer boy from Dekalb, 111., was en route to Chicago the other morning when a group of suburban passengers entered the car In which he was riding. These suburbanites began talking about their gardens, and the farmer boy heard what they said. Of course they were more or less anaemic, but they were the remnants of live beys, and on this fine spring morning the old call of the open, the field, the song bird and the living tree, was in every mind. The farmer boy overheard their talk about patches “six by eight feet,” “three by nine feet,” etc., their poor little back yards. It appealed to him, and he felt sorry for them. And then, like Moses, Socrates and Walt Whitman, he began to my to himself: “This thing that I am about to do is unworthy of me. Here are these men whose lives are blighted.

They live in the city under the arc lights and in the dust of the streets and the heat of them. They are pale faced, nervous men. They all peer through glasses and wear their clothes like the models in the stores. These are not men. These are the shadows es men. I wonder what would happen if these men were to wander down the long lane and out into the field where the birds are mating and the flshworms wriggling as the plow slips through the soil, instead of breathing the dust and smoke of the suburban train and hiding away some place in a skyscraper and calling that work.” So this young man went on to the city and wended his way through turmoil and rush and hurry and was hustled and pushed about in the ill than-

ners of the street When the day was oyer and he walked through the dusk toward his farm home he had decided that the "Lureof the Country, with its perspective and its prospect and its assurance of plenty and its wonderful girlhood and its open roads,” was far more worth his while than is this thing which he has read about, called the “Lure of the City.” The Lure of the Country is deep, genuine and rich to this boy. The Lure of the City is artificial, unnatural and disappointing. The city smells are those of mixed breath—the heated odors of a thousand unkempt basements and alleys. Its noises are the noises of waste and killing speed; its shadows shut out the sunlight and protect the rat and cock roach. But one thing lingers in the mind of this young man. and that is the enter-

tainment of the city. It is the music of the theater, the action, the suggestion, the Interpretation, the delight of hearing gifted people of the earth gathered in the entertainment centers of the city. If he could but satisfy his desire for sweeping music, stimulating drama, public speech extraordinary and some fine social occasions, there would be no Lure of the City in the mind of this typical countryman. And he must be provided for at home. That is why the Lincoln Chautauquas are appearing this summer, with their wonderful aggregation of entertainers, lecturers and musicians, in this city under the local management of the leading business men. The Lure of the Country is made complete by thia event

THE 1914 POLITICAL DRIFT

A Convincing Story in Figures by L. W. Henley

.. IN INDIANA The 1914 primary voting in the six largest counties in Indiana, containing the cities of Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Gary, Terre Haute and Evansville, indicate now the Progressive party has gone to pieces in this State. Comparison between the Progressive vote in 1912 and the Progressive primary vote of 1914 follows: 1912 Vote. 1914 Primary* Allen 4,519 164 Vanderburgh 2,880 « 171 Lake 5,659 660 St. Joseph 5,180 800 Vigo 5,172 350 - Marion .. 20,271 1,700 Total 43,681 3,845 Recently the Cincinnati Enquirer (Democratic) said: “Perhaps the clearest indication of what may happen at the next election is given by the recent primaries at Gary and Indiana Harbor, Ind., great industrial centers. The Progressives carried both of these steel towns in 1912. By reason of the mills being forced to close down or operate only part time, thousands of men have been laid off. These cities may be taken as typical industrial centers. In the recent primary the Republicans received 90 per cent, of the vote in Gary, the Democrats 7 per cent., and the Progressives 3 per cent. In Indiana Harbor the Republicans received 92 per cent, of the vote, the Democrats 6 per cent, and the Progressives 2 per cent. Indiana has no state-wide primary law, but an optional county primary law is in operation. The result in the Indiana counties that nave held primaries this year is in keeping with the general trend, showing remarkable Republican gains and corresponding Democratic and Progressive losses. The Lake County primary is typical. The figures follow: 1912 Election 1914 Primary Loss, Gain Democrat 5,136 2,260 56. Progressive .5,659 660 88.4 Republican 5,176 6,600 .... 27 The Republican vote in the 1914 primary in Warren, Henry and Randolph, all of which were lost to the Republicans in 1912, was sufficiently large to return these counties to the G. O. P. column this year. The Republican 1914 primary vote in Lawrence County was 300 larger than the Republican vote in the primary in that county in 1912, held long before open division developed in the Republican ranks.

Republicans 3,220 3,250 Democrats . Progressives..—- 4,881 819 The Republican party was the only one to show a gain in the 1914 special election over the presidential vote of 1912. The Democratic vote snowed a loss of 51.5 per cent, and the Progressive loss, amounted to 88.2 per cent. What do these official figures show? They show that a reunited Republican party is marching straight down the road, in State and Nation, to certain victory. They show unmistakably the trend oft political drift, and every political observer knows that it is just as impossible to stop a political drift when it once sets in in earnest as it is to stop the tide of the sea. If election or primary returns in one State or one district had shown startling Democratic ana Bull Moose Iqsses and corresponding Republican gains it could have been set down as an accident, but when the returns from every election, primary or registration, held since the presidential election in 1912 make the same revelation there is but one conclusion, and that is that the voters of Indiana and the Nation have made up their minds to return the party of protection for American homes and American industries to power just aa quickly as they can. $ “If you have had enough of the workings of a Democratic tariff MH and are disgusted with the reckless and disgraceful Democratic conduct of the affairs of the State of Indiana, DO NOT FAIL TO REGISTER IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY VOTE ON NOVEMBER 8.”
