C. LIFE AT IIS BEST Advantages of Dwellinn in Coun? try Town. city Man Knows Nothing of the Swcei Contentment That It the Lot of the Resident of Rural Places. Observing the Inconveniences and sometimes disco info it*; of city life, some of the brethren of tin* country (trots aro taking u Hhnt at the city dweller iiml emphasizing the fortiu mite position of the citizen who con trives to spend his lift* In sum? ffulet town of the country, saya a writer In the Seattle INjsMntelllgenCor. The country gentleman never cares wheth er the street ears run or not; he Is not concerned with the electric )l(ht plant or the wat^r supply, having his reliable kerosene In nips and n, good well In working order for emergency use. Ho Is uot afraid that 400,000 of his townsmen will run out of coal at once and freeze to death, because the old grove on the east forty Is capable of furnishing Ida fuel should his sup ply of five cords of sawed and split wood t^iat he has In his woodshed be come depleted, lie lives away from the mass, and his small wants are not puahed and crowded by the small wants of hundreds of thousands of other people, lie feels that If there is anything that he really needs that he does uot possess, l\p can go out and procure It any morning without much trouble, and he Is generally quite 1 right about It. Charles M. Korton, of Hadloy, N. cites the cases of the city and the country citizens tu a recent Issue of Collier's Weekly, Writes Mr. Horton: The man who started the' back-to the-farm movement had something! The man who shouted "Hack to na ture," said something; The advice was directed at city dweller*, of course, because folks who wero living out of the cities already .did not need It. He'takes up the case of the $2a a week married injtn, who hardly exists in the city, and shows what he Is ye complibhing In the'country town:. . A clerk in tire stow here gets $23 a week, owns his own home ami a. boat on the lake and a jitney, goes hunting in the .north woods In the falL fishes evenings and days olT without number, picks berries; kills his own beef in the fall, raises his own pigs, has a piano and a library and a silver service and linen, modern pictures on the walls, good rugs on the doors, mis sion furniture around the rooms, twin beds, a dog. two cats, a bear rug, low ceilings, plain wall paper, electric fix tures?everything, in fehort, that 11 it? city dweller has, or wants, but can't have?and he is-a ??b?rk in a grocery store at $2u a week. And lie had these tilings when lie was getting ."SIS?six months ago, before lie got a raise? had more,?in fart, been u^e" lie owned a trotting horse that could go some: this animal lias since died. The writer himself wiifi beguiled from the country to the city under the ennnon belief that the city is the only place for the man of ambition who would go fur. lie had brains. In a measure j^t'ie had money, in a measure, ami then he tossed the whole thing up In the air and made back for the coun try, where he now exists in content ment. And wheg one sees pity folk bedeviled and harassed and bcplnched by ever? human want, 'living from , hnnd to mouth.' and ' worrying lest some necessity of existence be cut off by some whim of mnn or vagary of fate, one Is inclined to give the argu ment of the country citizen large value and credence. ~'jr' Carnegie Doubly Interested. One more statue was unveiled, re cently, of the Immortal Robbie Burns, this time In Boston. Andrew Carnegie spent' much of his holiday time In Scotland, nnd divided It between ded icating free libraries, opening "church organs, ujul unveiling Burns statues. Meeting Mr. Carnegie at a St. Andrews dinner In New York, a braw Scot but recently come over snld. "Mr. Car negle, I would like to shake you by the hand; you unveiled a statue of Robbie Burns last summer In my home town." "Aye," said Mr. Carnegie, after a pause, "that would be Mont rose, the only place I ever had any thing to do with a Burns statue that I dldna pay for. On that account I'm doubly pleased to meet you."?Chris tian Science Monitor. Modest Linguist.

ARE RETURNING TO FARMS Not Many of Uncle Sam's Fighter* Have Succumbed to the Lure of the City. Of America's mighty war forces of more than-- 4.800.000 men. 1.200.000, It Is estimated, came front farms. Hoc ords in the bureau of war-risk insur ance In Washington indicate that these farm-bred or farm-raised boys carried government life Insurance amounting to over $10,000,000,000. During the earlier demobilization It was so difficult to keep track of the discharged service men that It seemed as though a very largo proportion of them did not return to their former addresses or homos. .So many of the service men who had come from tho farms seemed to be llSle'nlrK to the oall ??.tho olty that il was feared more than one-half of them wore not going .back' to the farms.

In these days, when Jack Frost Is busy drawing pictures on the windows, many beautiful works appear over night, but when he completely covers the glass, he Is not so welcome. The Russians have a very effective way of preventing the obscuring of the win dows by frost. In Russia the walls of the buildings are very thick, and double windows are fVtted ? to the houses, set about.13 Inches apart.
