ASSOCIATION, foreign Adv. Representatives,
YOU SHOULD JUST SEE THIS, MR. AND
MRS. FARMER—The most crowded thorough
farc in the world is 42nd Street, New York, the
three or four blocks between Broadway and the
Grand Central Station. M:irching throngs pass
ing right and left, to and fro throngs hectic, over
dressed and underdressed, and seli-confident witl
the metropolitan self-confidence that is so offen
sive to many of us from the quiet places.
In a first floor store room on 42nd Street, near
Broadway, a certain heating concern holds forth.
In the window is a scene purporting to be the
plain living room of an American farm house. The
room has, of course, one of “our justly celebrated
heaters.” in a corner. Father, in shirt sleeves
and specs, is seated at a table, reading the paper.
Mother, in checked calico dress, is standing over
to one side. These figures are mannikins and the
whole thing is an advertisement,
New York ridicules everything rural, and ai
fects vast superiority over the farm, farm life
and farm manners. But, do vou know, that
window is besieged every minute from morning
until night by solid masses of people, none of
them laughing, none of them ridiculing, all of
them looking upon that plain farm house living
room respectfully, earnestly and even longingly.
You can transplant people from the natural and
plank them down for a lifetime into the unnat
ural, but you can’t stamp instinct out of them.
That’s why New York, blase and gaudy, crowds
to this simple farm house window and feasts ic
eyes on independence and sane living,
WORLD’S GREATEST *VICTOR IS NO NA
POLEON—MarshaI Foch is the greatest living
general today, because he won the greatest war
in history. More, he took command in the midst
of the most dizmal defezt and in less than cight
months had ended the war with the world's ereat
est martial victory,
What would Napoleon have done under such
circumstances? Make himsell an emperor, of
course, and ¢o in for more wars,
. And Foch? He has no such thoughts. listen
to the following extract from his speech at the
tomb of Napoleon on the 100th anni rersary of
that conqueror’s death. It reads like the speech
of a pa ifist, Here are s words:
He carries the art 6f war above all kaown
heights, but this art proceeds to carry Napoleon
himself to the region of dizziness. He wishes
to regulate the fate of nations by the sword, as
if one were able to make the happiness of a
p(‘()])](‘ :qn’ing‘ {rom victories, |\;|inf|l| sacrifices in
themselves.
“As if this people could live hy glory and not
by work.
“As if the defeated nations, their independence
struck down, would not be bound to rise some
day and reconquer it. As if, in a civilized world,
moral right would not prove superior to a power
resting solely on force, no matter how talented
it might be.
+ "There is justice to be respected everywhere.
Above war there is peace.”
There is the conqueror who will visit America
soon. Hail to him!
IS THERE CONSPIRACY AGAINST
FATHER?—There is increasing discussion and
alarm these days over the increase of undisci
plined and wayward children, especially around
the age of 14 to 16 or 17. lln every city, the cases
in qourt against children are increasing until
children_’s courts are becoming as important and
conspicuous as the police courts.
All over the country the papers are carrying
stories of daring holdups, daring burglaries, des
perate daylight bank robberies and the authori
ties say that the criminals are mostly young men
who were only boys a year or two ago.
Mernard ]J. Fagan, chief probation officer of
the city of New York, has probably had to deal
with more bad boys and girls than any other man
in America. He says that the whole trouble is in
the home and he blames mother because she in
sists on haaing the whole say about the children
and resents dad’s interference. In fact, Fagan
charges that there is a conspiracy in the great
American home against father. His deduction is
that if father watched the children more—if
mother and father CO-OPERATED in the bring
ing up of the children—there would be fewer
wayward young nien and 'women in America to
day.
It is a great problem. But we do not join with
Fagan in hid finding against mother. Of course
she is the one who has to take almost exclusive
care of the youngsters duridg the tenderest vears,
and the thing hecomes habit with her.
It is for father to diplomatically butt in at the
right time. If he doesn.’t he cannot escape the
blame later on.

ing to the ears of the great mass of American
people today.
This is the man and this is the poetry that has
been engaged to interest and entertain our
readers through the Autocaster service, in which
this newspaper holds an exclusive franchice, We
will, therefore, publish a poem, or prose poem,
by Dr. Gaines regularly in the future Watch
for it
Dr. Gaines (“Uncle John") resides and thrives
at Excelsior Springs, Mo., which he describes as
“bein’ as nigh to the center of the earth as you
can drive a stake.” :
Unlike other well-known newspaper poets, Dr.
Gaines is country made, country bred, and con
tinues in the country town life. Our readers
will soon realize that he is one of them—a plain
American citizen.
NOT THE DEADLY AUTO BUT THE
DEADLY FOOL—Thirty persons were “killed
in the streets” of Tulsa, Okla., the other day in
a riot between white and negro gunmen, both
sides probably consisting almost entirely of pret
ty tough citizens. Nevertheless, the thirty
“deaths in streets” caused an enormous sensa
tion all over the country. ;
But nobody secems to be startled at all over
the fact that three times 30 persons are “killed
in the streets” of New York every month in the
year by auto vehicles alone. Nobody is at all
sensational because more than 30 persons are
killed by motors every month, on the average,
in the streets of cities of the general grade of
Cleveland, St. Louis and Los Angeles.
The number of fatalities from automobile acci
dents in our cities, is increasing all the time.
Only a few years ago, the average in New York
City, for instance, was one a day for- the year.
Then it crawled up to two a day and now it is
three a day. Next vear, no doubt, four a dav
willbe killed in that city by motor cars, or the
[appaling number of 1,460 in a vear,

aguviculture is our big important problem and i

and the general public just as much as it is the
problem of the farmer,
Agriculture, above all industries, is entitled to
constructive publicity. Agriculture is of such
importance, that we could well afford to consider
everything that is spoken, written, printed or
painted in the light of the question, “Wiil it
help or harm our Agricultural Interests; will it
benefit the Farmer?
Farming is just about the only thing that has
not used publicity to advantage. It needs boost
mg. It cannot get along without it, and still
keep up with the time.

by inserting the “card” of his farm in its columns,
or advertising the products he has for cale t.

thing less than boost the farmers and the farn
