SOCIAL LIFE OF FARMERS AUD FAMILIES

Y ISAAC L. TOTT1N. During tb past decade ,our attention haa been bo much occupied with -other thine that we have greatly nogacted the social side of country life. This la not Imagined, It la only too 'true regretably and deplorably so. ' The factors that hare been at work .to- cause tale decline in nelgbborllness pa the rural districts are many. What rthey all are we cannot say; but we beUlere that one of the principal factors Is the possibilities that have come eren to the average farmer to become (prosperous. When the money-mad microbe gets a man's system, he becomes so with the one idea of obtainriches, that he does, not think of 1 affairs. The dollar rivets hlsattention dur st the day. (XI a lha mrm .Ht with rirama of bosury. When he meets aineighbor, the coniion shows the relative Importof the things on his mind. Good morning," Is the usual greetKg of course. If It happens to be in morning, t "What's hogs worth?" "Think corn will go down, Jim?" "Don't know; hope not, Pete." ; -Cattle are going out of sight." ' "What did you get for your potaKeea? You're the luckiest fellow I ever paw. Its a wonder how them potatoes name through this winter without (frosting." "Sold all of your wheat?" I "Polks all well?" (this question jcomes last of all.) ' If there had been , a hard luck story rto tell, like msny had to tell before the changed conditions, it would have taken at least an hoar to get it out of his system, and then in the evening Ihe would have brought the family over He visit In order to get their minds off fthe mortgage that was coming due; Another factor that has done much toward causing tfan decline of sociability In many farm neighborhoods is the I consolidating of the schools, as we I have said In this column before. The new school, with Us better edu cational advantages, that have provid ed for our country boys and girls the ne opportunities for mental developnt that the boys and girls In town tftave, Is an Improvement over the old (segregated system; but when the old school house' was abandoned It meant. fin many places, the discontinuing of a (social center. wnen ine scnooi was aisconiinuea at the little school bouse It would not have meant the removal of a social center had some one In the neighbortbood assumed the leadership and still (maintained the vacant building as a place for getting together on a social basis. I The teacher and the scholars had ibeen the Initiative force behind the vajiious entertainments that had been 'held at the school house, and the paftrons had acquired the habit of depending upon them for practically everything in that line. ' Dotting the land-cape here and there throughout many counties today Iwe see the tumble-down, unsightly, old school buildings detracting from the beauty of the surrounding country. When we see these derelicts of the old school system,, we cannot help thinking of the valuable use to which they might have been put as a social center. Those who left the farm a few ryears ago and have recently returned to It, notice the change In the social conditions more, no doubt, than those who hawe remained on the farm continuously. Many have come back expecting to Sad that old time nearness that was once here; but when they get out to the oountry again they're greatly, disappointed. Of course. It is Impossible to make Efe stationary, as Esther Grlffln White lys, the conditions must change in he country as well as in the city. -' But this has been a change for the MOTHERHOOD SUGGESTIONS jAchrioe to Expectant Mothers - The experience of Motherhood Is a try I teg one to most women and marks disi tinctly an epoch In their Uvea. Not one ' woman In a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at soeh times, but many approach the .experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it Is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Fol- ' lowing right upon this comes the nertvous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There Is nothing more charming than I happy and healthy mother of children, (and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or j beauty. The nnexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with ample time In which to prepare, women will persist In going blindly to the trial. . . Every woman at this time should rely rttpon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Comi pound, a most valuable tonic and Invig'orator of the female organism. In many homes tonce childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound makes wonia normal, MttSr and strong.

It has been a move backward, not forward. -'.The writer asked a neighbor how he accounted for the lack of hospitality In this neighborhood, and he replied: "There Isn't tbe young folks around here any more like there used to be no one to liven things up. We used

to have good times at the school bouse over there under tbe hill before they built tbe new school house down there Just at the edge of town. Since then we have got in the hiblt of staying at home. When we used to meet each other at tbe spelling bees and socials we took more of a personal interest in each other we were sort of working together then but I don't feel as well acquainted with some .of the old neighbors now as I did live or six years ago. My wife and I have gotten out of the notion of. going any place and the neighbors don't come to see us. Only two neighbors have been at our house to visit in the past three years." This condition, of course, does not prevail in all farm neighborhoods, yet in many places it does, and there is great room for improvement. Where farm organizations exist the social side of life has not declined; In these communities it has kept pace with the advance made in the various phases of the farm work. The communities that stand out most conspicuously for the lack of neigh borliness are those adjacent to the citiea. In these communities there seems to be more of a desire to seek the diversions of the cities rather than mingle with the farm neighbors. It is quite frequently the case in these localities that neighbors living on adjoining farms do not know each other. Althougt the life of tbe farmer in many places Is very unsociable; and although It may be said that the worst side of country life is the social side, yet we believe that he tide is turning there is an awakening, as it were, to the fact that life as its best means getting together for the welfare of all. There has been so much talk about the lack of sociability in the country, that many have been aroused to action. Cooperation is tbe watchword qf today. And cooperation in one line eventually means co-operation in all. Our magazines and local papers are full of accounts of what is being accomplished by working together. ' Organized effort means waste elimination; It means the accomplishing of bigger and better things; it means the doing away with petty, sellsh interest, and it means a closer relationship between Individuals. The farmers see the benefits which those in other lines of endeavor are deriving from working together, and they are now becoming eager to also get the most from their efforts, and wherever we find the co-operative spirit manifesting itself, there we find the farmers again manifesting the old time nelgbborllness. This coming in contact with each other on tbe new basis of working together is fanning into flame that spark of sociability that has so long been lying dormant. Wherever there is an out cropping of this new spirit we hear of incidents that show humanitarianism, and we open our eyes in pleased surprise, for this is as it used to be. We can feel the social change in the air; It is inevitable. Let's get together as soon as possible and speed the coming. The tide has turned. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank the members of the Knights and Ladies of Honor, for their kindness and assistance during the sickness and death of my beloved wife, also for their promptness in paying the life insurance.

Among tbe many curious domestic pets of tbe Japanese are tbelr musical Insects and waltzing mice. Hung up in the verandas of Japanese houses may be seen small, exquisitely cut bamboo cages, from which in the hush of dawn and at the dose of summer days proceed quaint little whistlings, tlnklings and trills. Usually It is at evening that the Japanese alt at their ease to listen to the music of their imprisoned insects. One called the "sura-mush!" gives out. It Is said, a kind of trill so delicate and clear as to sound like an ethereallzed bird's song. One species of Japanese mouse may be said to waltz through tbe greater part of the waking hours of its life, never tiring, though Its feet wear out In tbe process. This peculiar little rodent Is black and white and has pink eyes. Its chief peculiarity is thst at a time when baby mice of other species are just beginning to move about this terpslchorean mouse Is already able to waltz. Put together, these Japanese dancing mice will waltz In couples, and at times more than two will join in a mad whirl. So rapid n the movement of the dancers that it is difficult to distinguish their heads from their tails. The Japanese says that waltzing seems to be as essential to the happiness of this mouse as midair somersaults are to tbe tumbling pigeon. An upright peg forms a convenient pivot round which the mouse can whirl, but It Is said that without any such guide they would not In several minutes cover an area larger than a dinner plate, and they easily spin under a tumbler.

A. Science With Some. Dealers Done at the Expense of the Public There Is nothing "just as good" ae Kewbro's Herplcide. Some dealers will even go so far as to tell you they have something ,oetter. That. dealer has an axe to grind. You can't .stop his grinding, but you can prevent him grinding it as your expense. There is one sure, swift way to do It. Go where you can get what you ask for. You won't be obliged to do this very often, as fortunately the majority of druggists are honest and conscientious. Kewbro's Herpicide has been so long and favorably known as the original dandruff germ destroyer that no one should be deceived. When you need a hair remedy, you don't want one which merely promises o kill the dandruff germ and prevent the hair from falling. You want one that will do it. Herpicide does it. The hair becomes soft and lustrous. There is life, snap and beauty where formerly the hair was dead, dull and brittle. Xewbro's Herpicide is sold and guaranteed by all druggists. Applications of this wonderful prophylatic may be obtained at the best barber shops and hair dressing parlors. Sond ten cents in postage or silver to The Herpicide Co., Dept. It., Detroit. Mich., for a nice sample of Herbicide and a booklet telling all about the hair. A. G. Luken & Co.. special agents. Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR. At The Murray Vaudeville afternoon and night.

It was the scene of the memorable Interview between Bismarck and Jules Ferry, when the latter made his Impassioned declaration about "not a stone of our fortresses, not an Inch of our territory." Bismarck was the only speaker on the Prussian side. As far as be was concerned, tbe colloquy would have been ended In a few minutes. Ferry's special pleading lasted tbe best part of an hour.

Beginning of the Drama. The theater "in tbe only sense thst is worth considering was born In Athens. Both tragedy and comedy spring from feasts in honor of Bacchus, and as tbe Jests and frolics were found to be out of place when Introduced into graver scenes a separate provluce the true drama was formed and comedy arose. Tbe father of tbe Greek comedy was Aristophanes, who had lots of fun lampooning tbe public men of Athens. Tbe creator of Greek tragedy was Aeschylus, born B. C 523.

They will prove best in the field where the real test comes. The length of shaping ,of , Janesville plow bottoms is based on correct principals, that's why Janesville plows have won more prizes in five., successive years at the world's two greatest annual plowing matches than alt other makes combined. The reason is, that Janesville plow bottoms are scientifically correct and before they were adoptt ed in their present form they had been proven best by exhaustive tests on the experimental grounds of ; the Janesville Machine Co., doing actual work on wild soil, and turf and stubble. The mold board of the Sod Breaker bottom is long, but not too long. The . furrow slice is turned completely upside down and laid before it begins to drag and increase the draft. The moldboard of the Stubble bottom is shaped to carry the furrow slice as high as possible and . lay it properly with the greatest amount of pulverisation possible. Repeated experiments have produced the moldboard called the Turf and Stubble .Bottom. We have . succeeded in producing this combination through the application separately of tbe principals which meet the requirement of a Turf Bottom and Stubble Bottom. Youwill find the Janesville Turf and Stubble Bottom will give perfect satisfaction on either ground with the least friction and tbe most thorough pulverization possible1. -..v.";" The Janesville Sod and Stubble Bottom has been proven equally successful. It is adapted for work similar to the Turf and Stubble Bottom. It will not only lay sod over smoothly; but will pulverize stubble ground more than any other, style of bottom we make. Many of these combination bottoms have done-" good work in the fields, saving their owners the price of an extra bottom, and the labor and time of changing from one to the other. We cannot recommend our combination bottoms too highly, y " FARMERS WILL NEED THE BEST THIS SPRING because of the late S?riar and Short Season.

FffO& FOR A GENIUS. Diet That Enabled Mrs. Siddons te Riae to Lady Macbeth. It is not altogether easy to imagine

a Lady Macbeth eating chops. Yet her J greatest impersonator sot her inspiration from them, if one may rely on an altogether delightful authority. On a certain occasion, writes E. V. Lucas In bis book "Tbe Second Post," the painter Haydon paid bis butcher, who reciprocated by expressing great admiration for the artist's painting of "Alexander." "Quite alive, sir. said tbe butcher. "I am glad you think so." said the artist. "Yes, sir; but, as I have often said to my sister, you could not have painted that picture, sir, if you had not eat my meat, sir." "Very true, Mr. Sowerby." "Ah, sir. I have a fancy for gen'us, sir." "Have you, Mr. Sowerby?" "Yes, sir. Mrs. Siddons, sir. has eat my meat. sir. Never was such a woman for chops, sir! Ah, sir. she was a wonderful crayture!" "She was, Mr. Sowerby." "Ah, sir., when she used to act that there character but. Lord, such a head, as I say to my sister that there woman, sir. that murders a king be tweeu 'em." "Oh, Lady Macbeth." "Ah, sir, that's it Lady Macbeth. I used to get up with the butler behind her carriage when she acted, and I used to see her looking quite wild and all the people quite frightened. 'Aha. my lady, says I. if it wasn't for my meat, though, you wouldn't be able to do thatr " i Sore Throat or flouth.
