This continual. talk at present of the ditt of young peoplé-to the cities, the assertions that our-faxms are being. deserted, and the state- ment that the women are dissatisfied“with coun- try life. emphasize the significance of the answers which are given by these farm women who live in* almost every state in the union. ‘The chief reasons which the women gave fo1 wishing hej, doohters should marry farmers, were: BAA 4 } ruBaby life thrives in the country; growing children need out-of-door life and play; womer earn independent income on farm; influence of nature’s nearness on character; less crime and divorce; the opportunities for development,” and many other similar reasons. “A Connecticut woman who received the first prize for her letter says: “Yes, even in the light of the hard years I have spent upon the farm, I would be willing for my daughter to marry @ farmer because I believe in a constructvie policy for farm homes and that true happiness is found in)well-rendered service*** “The strength of our nation lies in the youth of our land, and, with intelligent care, nowhere can boys and girls be reared to a studier manhood and womanhood than on our, farms. «Tf our men are to till our farms to feed the imfultitudes, side by side with them: must be wo- men to help carry on. Who are better fitted than our daughters who can bring to their task under- standing hearts.” “A North Dakota woman: from Ramsey county opens her letter with the words: “Why all this fuss about farmers’ wives being slaves? Why select. the wives of unkind : or thoughtless husbands, and use them as examples of the farm women? “A large per cent of the farmers of today are bfoadminded, intelligent, progressive men. Many of the young men are college graduates who have learned to be gallant and considerate.” The six per cent of the women who voted nega- tively on the question gave the following reasons. for not wishing their daughters to marry farmers: “Never made money but never had the chance; pépr market: conditions, taxes—farm and school— top high, a farmer cannot. support my daughter, never:a:teisure:hour, nothing to lighten the labor and monotony, ‘daily grind takes the sparkle from the eye, the light from the soul, women are really old at the prime of life,’ and.a number of other similar reasons. If 94 per cent of 7,000 farm women are willing that their: daughters should marry farmers and stay on the fatm, it would appear that there is really little need for worry over the drift of pop- ulation to the cities and the desertion of the farms. Many do not consider that it takes only a few farmers to produce enough food for an entire na- tion and still have a large quantity to export. One man with modern farm implements produces more than enough to feed ten families. With such wonderful modern machinery as the farmer now has, it is no wonder that the farmers’ wives of to- day are not only wlling to remain cn the farm, put, what is more significant, are willing that their daughters should remain on the farm as a farm- er’s wife. RENT Germany solves the rent problem by action in- stead of “investigation.” Her new housing law, to be effective for four years, regulates rents and rations housing the same as food is divided for a famished army. Under ‘the new system, rent will cost Berlin residents the equivalent of $1.80 out of each $100 of their income, on the average. Tenants must pay for all repairs. On this income basis, how much rent would you pay? The Germans have a lot of horse-sense when not on the war-path. Brides wonder what they will have for supper Grooms wonder what they had.

Civilization is based on emotions, not brains. MEAT-EATING Back in 1907, the average American ate 180 t pounds of meat a year. This has dropped to 156 pounds a year. ‘ Meat-eating has been declining since city men discovered that a heavy noon-day lunch tends to make them logy for the rest of the day. On the other hand, especially among women, ; light lunchers incline to become candy fiends. In 3olving one problem we usually create a new one in its place.

PERSONALITY IN POLITICS Strange interpretations have been put. upon Mr. Pinchot’s victory in’ the’ Pennsylvania Re- aublican primary, following that of Mr. Beveridge ‘n Indiana. If we were to believe certain political gracles, keyed up to a high pitch of excitement, those two events portend startling changes, al- nost amounting to a revoluticn. Lurid prophe- ries are made of the Republican Party again torn asunder. We are bidden to stand amazed at the yminous gathering’ of insurgent and radical for- ses. Because the two men named once bore the abel “progressive,” the inference is drawn that h ‘hey will soon set forth with incendiary torches n their hands bent on burning up our outward ind discredited party structures. If these gentlemen have any such fell purpose, they certainly took pains to conceal it in their ampaign speeches. Mr. Beveridge, far from searing himself like an innovating agitator, ex- oressed sentiments which might be called posi- ‘ively reactionary. He took strong ground against all kinds of ‘class legislation. He protest- ad against the weakness of. Congress in allowing ‘tself to be swayed or terrorized by either the labor vote or the farmer vote. The famous Adam- 3on law, enacted by Congress under duress, Mr. Beveridge would repeal. He declared himself qgainst all tax laws of a punitive sort, would have the income tax lowered, and a sales tax enacted. Obviously, this is not radicalism. It is more like what some of our eager and horrified radicals would call hunkerism. As for Mr. Gifford Pin- shot, he made his contest solely on State issues. His main arguments and pleas were as old as Poor Richard. He was for economy, for honesty, for efficiency, for making the Government of Penn- sylvania respond to the chief and instant needs of the people of the State. If this be insurgency w revolution, make the most of it. The really significant and heartening thing in ‘he political triumph of these two men was the demonstration that Americans will still rise to a 3ound and inspiring political leadership. In both ‘ndiana and Pennsylvania politics had gone stale. The Republican organization had neither ideas nor vivid personalities. Toward it the people had grown apathetic. The time was ripe for new and vigorous individuals to step forward. Personality is still the strongest and most appealing thing in public life, and it was because the voters saw in the candidacy of ex-Senator Beveridge and Mr. Pinchot the promise of an infusion of new life into public affairs that they rose to the appeal so spon- taneously and enthusiastically. The whole was simply one proof more that old American habits and political tendencies have not essentially changed. The people still like a real man when they see him. That fact contains warning enough for smug and stagnating machine politicians. — [New York Times. — | ADVENTURE OF | | THETWINS | -———--+ By Olive Barton Roberts It just seemed the poor noon got out of o kind of trouble to get into another—sort of out of the frying pan into the f're.

D., June 14, 1922 Editor Tribune: » f Recently sone of (our fitizens ap- peared before the City ©dimission- ers and urged the passggé’ and ap- proval of a drastic ordinance regulat- ing the conduct of dances and dance halls within the city, This ordinance ‘as been considered’ so drastic by certain of those heretofore conduct- ing dance halls that they have _vir- tually given up their places. That may please some of those who urg- ed the passage of this ordinance, and some of the former dance promoters of the city have claimed tnat many of those who urged the ordinance thought it wicked to dance at all and really by the passage of blue laws de- prive those fond of such amusements the privilege of this wholesome, in- nocent and really healthful amuse- ment. The effect, anyway, -has been that the places in the city have been limited and some céased®\\ventirely. But there. are always! those, who, see a-chance to profit by the loss-of oth- ers and the consequence is that much more harmful places are growing up where much more harm can be done. That is the grove platform resort. There are now two of these places within short automobile trips from the city. There are no police regula- tions of these places, and being in and surrounded by trees and ° bushes, which form a most effective screen for those who wish to be in too much privacy, there being no official regu- lat.ons, it permits the bars to be thrown down as to how the dances mav be conducted and permits young girls—escorted or otherwise—to at- tend, If it is necessary to have a dras- tic regulation of dances conducted in the city it is a hundred times more important to have same supervised in groves and bushes, There is no cur- few beyond the city limits. Already it has been noted that many young girls attend these platform dances who are prevented from attendance by the city ordinance, and brawls and fights, and “drunk and disorder- iy” acts take place which would not have occurred within the city, with or without the enactment of the re- cent ordinance, unless arrests, fines and imprisonment had followed. It looks like a case where the State’s Attorney should get busy. That offi- cial is allowed $1,000 a year for ex- penses of investigating the commis- sion of unlawful acts. It all goes un- der the present regime to the inves- tigation of intoxicating liquor cases. It might be well for the State’s At- torney to investigate and take steps to regulate our platform dance pla- ees. To prevent the ruin of young girls and fights and drunken brawls important as. preventing nm cf beer and light en a reasonable amount tt ine, What might be better and what would prevent these unregulated pla- ces from being able to exist would be to change some of the drastic fea- tures and provisions of the recent or- dinance regulating this class of amusement, but if the City: Commis- You had ‘th’ other It’s cloudim wp, an’ Well, I’ve got back, I knew before I sta sion and those responsible for the dance ordinance still insist on _ the puritanical provisions therein, then the State’s Attorney must do his duty and awake to the facts before there are serious results from the unbridled and unregulated grove platform re- sorts. If it-is no place’ for a young. girl in a well lighted, regulated, and licensed dance hall in our .city, which can be and is well policed, certainly it is no place in a darkened grove where a few steps place a couple in secluded darkness where drinkingl and debauchery may occur so easily. These places can be placed under con- trol by: the State’s Attorney, and those who have already been mixed up in should be prosecuted by that official and steps taken by him to prevent future like occurences, and especially prevent the attendance of young girls. If the State's Attorney. js (ton busy preventing the manufacure ar galé o intoxicating liquor then: he: should: be furnished with an efficient deputy, or what might be as well emasculate the too drastic provisions of the pres- ent dance ordinance, for if there are properly conducted dance halls suffi- ecient in number within the city lim- its then these grove platform resorts cannot profitably thrive. There is now one bowery dance place in the city but it cannot be conducted with any pro- country are permitted to continue as at present. Unless. some preventive steps are taken these unregulated places will increase in number as there is rumor of other like resorts being opened up. A READER. WILL SURELY HELP OTHERS.

Sr Nae ERIE ESE eg + | TODAYS WORD | to Today’s word is IRONIC. It’s pronounced—i-ron-ie, with accent on the second syllable. It means—characterized by a kind’ of humor or light sareasm which adopts a mode of speech implying the opposite of the literal sense of the words. “The dis- }tinguished quality of irony,” says an eminent authority, “is that the meaning intended is contrary to that seemingly expressed; one says one thing and means the opposite.” It comes from—Latin “ironia,” mean- ing ‘a dissimulation or concealment of real facts.” It’s used like this—“To the persons who have criticized him for his efforts ‘to keep down coal prices, despite the strike, Secretary of Commerce Hoover has returned an ironic answer.” !
