A WONDERFUL STORY OF
THE SA.ME OLD WORLD
PROGRESS — RURAL EXTRAVAGANCE
A recent magazine writer contends
that friendship is passing ... It is
the same 'old world—so far as friend
ship is concerned, and in nearly every
thing else, except that we have more
tops to play with . . . The modem
man, when time hangs heavily, turns
on the radio, to see what sort of devil
ment is going on in other parts of the
world; in an older generation, a bored
man shouldered his rifle, and went out
to shoot an Indian.

A writer in a farm publication says:
“No century has ever seen such a
thing as rural extravagance.” . . . Ex
travagance is as common in the coun
try as in the towns. When a farmer
buys more machinery than he needs,
and lets it stand out in the weather
when hot in use, what is that but ex
travagance ?
When he over-borrows at the bank,
that is extravagance. When he spends
more time in town than is necessary
or profitable that is another exhibi
tion of it. Farmers live too economical
ly so far as food and housing go, and
are too extravagant with agents, and
in the use of their working hours. We
sympathize with farthers because
their calling ii tiot very profitable.
This is true of many others. Teachers
and preachers are worse paid than
farmers. There are millions of clerks
not so well paid as farmers, and fac
tory employees everywhere are ap
pealing to the government and public

he could go into any strange commu

I often hear of what mothers should
‘tell” young daughters. The first
should be the agony and danger the
best of wives suffer, the second, the
inevitable disposition of men to be less
thoughtful as husbands than as lovers.
Such information is gross and materi
al, but young girls are entitled to
know what they are stepping into
when they put on wedding dresses.
