FIFTY YEARS FROM NOW. Wnn'Wful. inlerd are thj pfi?5lbilitif of ths jrrat Ainoric;m Imagination. In 1965, predicts a, Kanas nowvpaprr. farm lifo In America will have pro Srr-5rl ;o far that; "Practically vry farm home will havf it clptrlc. plant or station for lipht ami power. uTifl motors will have taken thr? flare ot horses Irohahly rl'-rtric motors oper.-ed by an lrnjrovrl ptorapc- battery. "lhctric current from distant mountain streams and large central power stations will d away with small plants and with most of th small coal, j,'as and oIl-"sinpr plants. "Airplanes and swift automobiles will brinir the city to the farm and the farm to the city. Motion picture th'ntrrn and other entertainments, churches and schools will bo accessible to all. "City and country lifo will be so closely interwoven that farmers may live in the city or business men on the farm, and thor will be no 'Iiack to the soil' problem because there will be little or t;o distinction between the farmer and the town man. "Farming will bo just as much a business as Is manufacturing or merchandising." It is not an impossible picture at all. Tlut neither Is it a tarticularly attractive picture, unless with the many Improvements and increased efheiency an'l businesslike management s-hall have come or remained som-ei of tho himpllcity, peace and beauty cf lifo in the country. If tho farmer has nimply exchanged his physical drudgery for the spiritual and nervous drudgery of the city man, he will not have sained much. Hut if the two have ach acquired a few of the best thlnprs in tho life of the other and have eliminated a few of the Avorst features, then both will have trained much. If both can use their added efllciency and modern machinery for tho purpose of leaving themelvep, their families and fellow-workers more tinvfor health and recreation and mental growth and friendship, then the picture will be a beautiful one Indeed. Uut

EVERY YEAR A LEAP YEAR. Alas, we men. trying to be chivalrous, have gone and put our feet right in it. An open season for man-hunting every four years Is not enough for th maidens of America, or for s-ome of them, ut least. .Now that they aro getting the ballot, and jobs and responsibilities and big wage, and general "equality," they want more freedom in courtshij . Man' Thou art tho victim! MIs Lucille IU5h. a Xew York lawyer, says it Is t Illy that women should have only one year in four to propose; she would let them leap every year. Hut the more conservative of her slater are not lulte so impetuous, nor nearly so certain that a permanent lifting of the ban against man-huntlm? would be a good thing for th men. or for th women either. The New York Portia is ans err d by a sister professor In Chicago. Dr. May Curbing Hire, win is quite taken aback by the Idea. She fears the girlswould overdo it. She fours for mm in the day that .ociöty replace with a ?mile th frown that now meets the woman who deliberately proposes to the man of her choice. Hut alas for the conservatives who would applaud Dr. Rice! Comes now a London psychologist who declares that within 20 ytars women will be alectlner their mates under methods now considered positively Indecent. He says women are ehanjrtnK' mo rapidly that tha false barriers which now separate men and women will be things of th j.na and the sexe will be more nearly alike in equillty of prerogatives. The economic eniam ipation of women, ho maintains, changing woman's m'tital attitude, while the widespread use of machlnerv is the greatest leveler of sx distinctions. With the reformation of hT falso I'r.ar.cni position, woman's whole psychology is bound to chancre. Thy are all extremists, including the psychologist. Of course, no extreme change will e:m in the lifetime of any cf them, or -f any i:s. Soci.t -.iove slowly in lifting its fundamental inhibition--, and Mrs. Grundy is un.loul-tedly mor- pow rful. -rn at thi$ late day, than either Liwjvr Pugh or the London pn choh'gi.-t.

'I here also a summer camp for girl employe, and a rlub house for the man. with a lunch room which serves three m aN n. day at very hw cost. Th- store management believes that toe wholo organization benefits by the good feehr.g which prevail among employes. The store machinery seems o run more smoothly and many helpful hints for improvement." in methods have come from the Informal discussions of club members. It all resolves itself into the oft-proved statement that the best good of any group whether It be a store, a factory or a city depends upon the health and happiness of its Individual members.

FIRE PROTECTION FOR EXHIBITS. The necessity of adequate tire protection and insurance for art and Industrial exhibits was made plain In New York recently, when a collection of paintings, sculpture und miscellaneous art objects worth half a million dollars, gather' d for exhibition in the Fine Arts' Galleries, was destroyed by tire. The collection contained contributions from most of the leading artists of America. Many of the exhibits were unprotected by any insurance, so that tho owners not only lost the work of their hands, but will receive no reimbursement to furnish materials and supplies for new work. Art and industrial exhibitions are of both educational and pleasurable value to any community, but properly constructed and fireproofed buildings should be provided to house them, and while such a collection is assembled every precaution for the prevention, detection and lighting of lir should be observed. How many local exhibits and fairs are held in I'imsy wooden buildings, with not so much as a hand lire-extinguisher to put out the sudden blaze? Howmany farmers who provide concrete buildings foi th'-lr .lock at home send valuable animals for exhibition without any knowledge as to what means exist for discovering or combatting lire, and without any precautionary insurance measures? What Happened on a big scale In New York may happen on a small scale anywhere.

Chicago detectives have credited the oui.ia board with having located in New York a man sought for (b'.si rtlon. The supreme test will come when weejee L asked to find a lost collar button.

It must s-em queer to Mexico and Central America that there are so rrajiy candidates for the presidency In this country and yet not a single revolution being started.

If the states don't hurry up with ratification of that suffrage amendment, a lot of tcretgn-born v'ophp may be moving back to the old couth 'y they can vote there now.

HUNTING rOU A lOLI('Y. (Dearborn Independent.) Will II. Hays Is chairman of the republican national committee. It is usually tho duty of the chairman to take the policies of Iiis rarty and the candidate nominated by the convention and so j)resent them to the public that they will win at the polls, hut Mr. Hays tinds himself facing a greater task. H must lind out what the policies of the party are or develop policies before he can present thorn. Tho pollci's are usually put into words b; a committee at the national convention, and that will be clone this year, hut they usually exist so definitely in the hearts and the minds of the people that the work of the convention is merely to give expression to beliefs well defined. Put the rrty which served the country and the world so well under the leadership of such men as Lincoln and Grant and Garfield and McKinley and Roosevelt had Its policies for which each man in his turn was nady to fight to the last ditch. It took no scouting committee to find out Lincoln's policies for saving the Union, nor Grant' reconstruction views, nor Garfield's labor policies, nor McKinley's determination to induce manufacturers to put up mills in which to make goods in place of goods bought in Uurope, and to employ American labor, nor Roosevelt's policy lat-r to oppose combinations and excessive prices by those same manufacturers. Those men and their party stood for something: you might agree with them or not, but you ?oubl know what their le Ilefs were and the issues they brought into the campaigns. Men argued their beliefs on street corners and in stores and they were heralded in print and from platforms. Put the party which Mr. I lays is called on to pilot has no outstanding leader and no outstanding policy. Mr. Hays Is confronted with that condition and i- trying to formulate a policy. In the first place a committee on policy and platform was appointed. On that committee we read the names of W. Murray Crane of Massachusetts. Poise Penrose of Pennsylvania, and Charles P. Warren of Michigan. These men have some ideas as to government and who should administer it. In 1912 they were the bulwark of the anti-Roosevelt forces. They did their work at the Chicago convention a,nd that work drove Roosevelt out of the party of which he had been the leader for years, and resulted in wrecking It. Times have changed, but those men are stllT there. Maybe they have changed. Maybe not. That lemalns to be seen. Mr. Hays has appointed 1TG men to act with these men in sugg sting a platform for the party. The l.V) r.re supi. ösed to lie close to the people, but their suggestions will be sifted by Mr. Crane. Mr. Penrose. Mr. Warren and others on the smaller com mltt'-e. It is a very interesting jirocedure to watch. Will there be men or a man among the 150 slron.; nough la character and fixed enough in beliefs to fcre the interests of the general public on the committee and through them to tho convention and on to the people? l'or the good of the republic, for the eood of all. let us hoje so, bu let u no; be foobd. We ail know that ocn. Lodge, the nominal republican leader, was for a league of Nations until a democrativ president came forward with one.

Albert Mathews was plodding to Iiis cabin, dejectedly. from a tour of hl traps, which netted him nothing in the way of food or fur, and his larder, he knew, was diminishing fast. 11 drew his belt tighter and pulled out iiis pipe. Thinking of what he could do with a big steak if he had one. he abstemiously tilled his pipe from tobacco crumbs in his pocket. Suddenly a big buck deer Jumped up In front of him. It meant nothing to Mathews in th way of meat, however, for he had no gun. Just as the deer wheeled to flee there was a sharp report. Mathews' pipe had exploded. At the s-ame instant the dcr fell dead. Mathews then discovering that in loading his pipe he had crammed a loaded rifie shell into the bowl with the tobacco. The heat of the pipe exploded the cartridge and the bullet pierced the deer's- heart. Detroit Free Press.

WHAT WGI I. II WASHINGTON DO. "What would Washington do if hf were here today?" is a question t Chicago newspaper is asking the school children of that city, offering valuable prizes for the best essay on the subj. et. We never got to know Washington very well, never having saw him following the cherry tree incident, but we have a pretty good notion what he would do if he were in Washington now.

Washlneton. being rich. would probably have first gone down in the bo.--em.ent to tinker with his furnace, and after taking about three shots of hooch and eating a f'w cloves to deceive Martha. woull have come upstairs and stepped boldly into the executive chambers to take up affairs of stf te We can picture George first giving a careful review of all the facts in the I unic ls-Sims controversy; then ringing for Sims and taking him out on the white house lawn to drop kick him over the Washington monument. Washington would then send a night letter to tho peace conference, announcing that the Leaguof Nations suited him okey. providing that England wa? kept out, and that he had no objections to Germany as none of the Germans w- r ever known to get sore and try to spoil a good time at a Boston tea varty. We next find George walloping a member of his cabinet when th secretary dropped Into the white house and proposed a game of golf. Washington's choice for the afternoon was draw poker or crap. About the same time, Martha comes in to kick about the price of sugar asked at the corner grocery. George asks, her why she don't look up a cash and carry and gets sore for having her bother him about such little details. In fact George Is so mad over the incident, he go's down in the basement to attend to the furnace again. He returns to the main office, chewing cloves furiously. George trios to call up the National theata-r for tickets to the "Follies," but central doesn't get the theater until three works later. George finds the Tollies" have moved in the meantime and that the theater i.s playing a film, showing the perils of divorce. George is so sore over this occurence, that ho immediately fires tho first member of the cabinet that shows up. A butler, who had always proven himself miffhty faithful, is put in in the place of the retiring member, and a bale of correspondence is released to tho papers, showing that George is absolutely sane and on the square in the matter. George orders four pounds of cloves and a gross of Promo Seltzer and returns to the basement. The white house furnace had not been wcrking right for months.

A Li:.P YI'AR VALKXTIM-:. Won't you be my valentine? I cannot say your face is fair. I cannot praise your form divine Or rave about your rippling hair; I cannot say that with your voice? Sweet as a linnet's I'm enthralled; Moreover, if I had my choice, I'd rather have you not so bald. Won't you be my valentine? Your hands are large, your voice is gruff. Your nose is somewhat out of line, Your neck is just a trille rough. You have no elegance nor grace, And all my lady friends remark That you have pot the sort cf face That's better looking- after dark. Won't you be my valentine? I do not like your taste in ties; The more your patent leathers shine The more one notices their size. Your hats but emphasize your faults, You've got the most enormous ears; And you will never learn to waltz Although you livej a hundred years. But men don't shine in beauty shows. And, if the truth must be confessed. With all your failings. I suppose You average fairly with the rest. I want a mate all women do That I can love, and have for mine, And well, it might as well be you. So won't Vou be my valentine?

Profit by the Experience of Bennett, Stillman, Sterling and Bloss! James Gordon Bennett, deceased, appointed an individual executor James Stillman. When Stillman died, John W. Sterling as his executor, took up the double bur.den. Bu Sterling died before he had barely taken up the vork and the triple responsibility was passed on to another individual executor, James O. Bloss, selected by Mr. Sterling to handle his estate. Here were estates totaling over $75,000,000.00, needing expert, responsible handling, all being subjected to delay and possible depreciation because of the old time habit of naming an individual executor instead of a corporate organization such as the modern Trust Company. HAVE YOUR LAWYER DRAW YOUR WILL AT ONCE AND NAME THIS COMPANY AS EXECUTOR. This will insure perpetual, economical, efficient handling of your affairs, in the manner directed by you.
