«= tietam was Thursday, January 22nd, 1914, Home Circle Column Pleasant Evening Reveries for Every Member of the Family Making a Home of It. Under the above heading the Trib» une of Chicago says : “Cities are absolved from blame for luring the boy from the farm and the more or less stable existence of the tiller of the soil to the uncertain lot of the city laborer or clerk. Accord- ing to a bulletin of the Wisconsin Country Life conference, the blame for the desertion of the land by the young must rest largely with the par- ents, with the farmers themselves, “The average farmer, says this bul- letin, has until recently been inter- ested in his crops, cattle, and a bank account more than he was in the com- fort of his wife and children. With the city man it has been the reverse. The wife of the city mechanic, whose income was far smaller and immeas- urably less secure than the income of the farmer, has for yeare been having hot and cold water in her kitchen, a bath in the house, and gas and tricity to cook, wash, and iron Her household work has been a minimum. The wife of the is still largely drudging away essarily. lecause of this the want of a comfortable and quently interesting, attractive the migration from the farm 1 city has been unprecedented in years, it is asserted “The Wisconsin ference incorporates some advice to farmers in its bulletin enumerates the various machines which might be installed the farm home at a comparatively small ex- pense, and which would with cut to unnec- conse- home, QO t rece ne nt Life on- practical It Country in long farm more at The bulle- EO M1 ways toward making life on the lighter on the woman and tractive for the children tin holds up examples—farms which are run on a modern and are made to pay better, The farms so run not only keep the children at home but keep them interested in the home, in the farm, and farm work, is shown, It is timely and valuable advice and is sure to bring light and happiness into many a farm home that [fee that there is something wrong with it. but does not know just what is wrong, and how Ag basis to remedy it In Defense of Father. “Bvery now and then F come across a little baby 3 he is rummaging through trunk.

Mother is all that has been said, and more, God bless and keep her. Father is all that has not been said. 1 know men who rush away into the dark and grieve on their knees with their head in their arms, because a little baby died a long time ago. And after that they come out and face the world smiling and brave, and the world doesn’t know. I know a man who carries a little daughter's little shoe in his grip when he goes out upon the road, and sleeps with it beneath his pillow, and 1 know many fathers who will never be comforted this side of the grave. Let us still love and cherish mother; but let us also give father credit for being at least half human, . » Where's Mother?

The legislative committee of the Patrons of Husbandry were in session at Harrisburg last week.

In the meanwhile the columns of the Pennsylvania Grange News will be open for debate on the question.

The shoe dealers are in revolt against the “pure shoe laws” now on the statute books of twenty-five states of the Union and similar measures pending in congress, and threaten to send the price of shoes up to ten dollars a pair The legislation which has encoun- tered the opposition of the shoe trade, or at least stirred the wrath of the 200 delegates to the convention, pro- vides that all shoes, in which substi. tutes for real leather are used, shall be stamped “adulterated” or “substi- tute leather.” The use of pasteboard and imitation leather in the manufac. ture of shoes has become quite exten sive in recent years, and the sale of this brand of footwear as leather goods has come to be regarded as one of the most stupendous frauds practiced in the country, It aif. cult to Imagine anything more exas perating than to find that the shoes bought in the belief they were in You 0 made ! he np frst It the f leather, are tructed of substitutes that apart the time they get wet in difficult tional Sho represents the of country id suppose con fall equa that Ni ion dealers the deal wo that all lcome the law that them from pos frauds facturers wh use subst er in the manuf: T) LA infere noe from the that Lila Ww We protect | ible manu- tute ieath- | v f 1} o wvture o he good ver, ation | to be drawr OWE attitude of this nat its membey mtinue elling leather from po by mant the explan make real on | they of 2.000 000 more this virtually prices wi ights, AWS from will that | ' Veur be required and with | ir des Liew pre titude f trust, sho« edented he toward the 1 } Le pubic excuse the) designed to tect fraudulent tices Under “pure shoe tomer who either cann y price for genul need retail of there The hon ill health competi depended upon to the basis of supp Scranton Dally News on and demand come and go, ! frech forever A woman hardly cares what buys provided she gets a bargain For Frost Bites and Chapped Skin, For frost bitten ears fingers and toes: chapped hands and lips, chil- biains, cold sores, red and rough skins, there is nothing to equal Buck- jen's Arnica salve.

You can recall the times when you have gone to your telephone to make a pressing call and the line has been in use by another party. There is no doubt, too, that the people who call you often must wait for the very same reason. Telephone service is convenient, but an individual line is ultra-convenient, for it is ready to serve you whenever you want. Its cost is just a trifle more than you are now paying.
