The jobless man is deprived motets the pleasures of a vacation, Key West is on the waiting list, and has been for some time. We prefer to hear the cash register ring rather, than the welkin. Problems always appear big when in- competent persons are working on them. Having the right of way doesn’t help much when an idiot is driving the other car. The upkeep of a pretty face seems just about as expensive as that of a homely one. Florida seldom does anything in a petty way; it gave Cone an overwhelming vote.

It takes a war to inspire the song of the age.

In future he will confine his prognostications to the weather, in which he cannot go wrong more than 100 per centum. A SCIENTIST LISTS SOCIAL ILLS The justification of government throughout the world is the welfare of hu- man beings and it is well, once in a while, for the individual to cast a few glances at the scoreboard, Recently, in an address before a scien- tific honor society, Dr. Edwin G. Conklin, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and one of the world's eminent biologists, declared that the true application of scientific prin- ciples to human affairs calls for “demo- cratic socialism as the safest and sanest so- | cial order.” The learned professor reviewed the facts that leads one to conclude that ‘‘ap- palling contrasts between scientific pro- gress and social stagnation” lie at the bottom of our present social ills. The scientist speaks not idly, but gives par- ticulars, listing what he calls “strange } paradoxes,” including: | 1. Overproduction sumption, 2. Improved transportation and un-j improved distribution, 3. Vast prosperity poverty 4. Multiplied occupations and paralleled unemployment, 5. Triumphant, medicine and spread disease, 6. Lrolonged life and dependent old age, Scient internationalism economic nationalism, 8. Greater armaments and less se- curity, io: unity, 10. Elimination of the unfit and sur- vival of the fit, 11. Protection of the unfit and elimi- nation of the fit. Any reader wanting something to think about can use a few hours reflection upon what the thinking scientist says. He blames conditions upon the conflict be- s and acquisitive abundance, the one for goods, the other for and undercon- and appalling un- wide- useless and and Larger social units and less social tween “altruistic science sociely, one working for other scarcity ; pric He thinks the profit motive ‘“in- avitable” and “probably desirable’ but “in any stable society it cannot be the chief or only motive.” Going a bit further Dr. Communism and F: Conklin re- ism as ideal so- ci “Democratic so- cialixm,” which avoids extremes, yet con- tains elements of all and best “preserves” the balance between extremes of “in- dividual freedom” and “social regimenta- tion” by allowing “freedom of exper mentation,” the only “path of progress.” jects ul orders and advocates OUR CHANGING WORLD Selecting a trade or occupation today is a rather more serious matter than in years gone by, owing to the rapid changes in methods ot manutacture and in the pro- ducts demanded by the public. In hardly any line of manufacture does one know how soon some new method or process may render all his present skill useless a means of gaining a livelihood. Highly skilled hand craftsmen in may lines ; are continually being replaced by ma- chinery, while products which were for- merly in great demand are rapidly becom- ing obsolete, such as the buggy and other | horse-drawn vehicles, Speaking from the manufacturer's! standpoint, KE. W. McCullough of the United States Chamber of Commerce said: “IT could enumerate a hundred lines of busi- ness this evolution has wiped out, and lines | without number have changed in ma- terials, construction and form.” These changes have affected the in- dividual workmen, as well as their em- ployers, and never were changes made so rapidly at present.

New You an d Your Affairs More Attractive Farm Life By JAMES S. THOMAS President, Clarkson College of Technology i The fact that agriculture is becom- ing more and more mechanized, will make it all the more easy to keep it a family affair. Today the farm is be- coming an at- tractive place. H Machines do ! most of the | 44) work, and auto- i (| mobiles put recreation and entertainment within easy reach. The at- tractive fea- tures of rural life under these new conditions make it easy ! 3 for boys and | girls to content H = themselves to live on the farm. This ts highly desirable. Topography, climate, financial con- ditions, and markets at times and places favor large estates. While we are none too well informed about the history of farming, it is pretty clear that where large scale farming has been in vogue it has generally been ; on a servile basis. This type of farm- ing tends to use up the fertility of the land. lt exploits land resources. and has never been permanent. The use of electricity on the farm gives the small family many of the advantages hitherto possessed exclu sively by those larger estates equipped with tractors and other high priced machinery. However, we are | not at all entering upon an agricul- tural “industrial revolution.” In in- dustry, that movement is over ex- cept for the natural expansion. Let us think, rather, that for our farr we are providing power to small units that may improve economic advan- ; tages and provide more comforts and more leisure. ! From a practical point of view | the size of the farm is very im- i portant when it comes to the use of electric power.

There are two theories of WEDNESDA? [—Tonat’s WeaTaER agricultural economics in America. ' One tends to emphasize the large scale operation with specialized pro- duction. The other advocates small farms with intensive culture of somewhat diversified production. It is evident that electricity is a force tending to promote the small farm theory. By its very nature, it can render a relatively larger service for the small unit than for the greater. It is service not only for the farm as @ business, but for the farm as a home. On these smail units, the service will be about equally divided between the farm work and the home work. In all probability, the future farms in America will be of two types: First, the small highly efficient home-busi- ness institution; second, the very large engineered estate. At all hazards, we must not lose from our social structure the fine ele- ments in it represented by that farmer and his family who own, till, and live on their piece of earth and love living there and love that piece of earth! As we proceed with our agricul- tural economics, the “efficiency farm” will be found to vary in size in dif- ferent parts of the country and with the various products produced. But it will be found that electrification will be easier of accomplishment in those areas where the units are not too large. Acreage per unit adds miles of distance and diminishes popula- tion per mile as a rule, both very difficult handicaps to overcome when it comes to electrification Where homes and barns are close together along the way, it becomes a soundly practical matter to build transmission lines. The distance between homes. the farm incomes, the nature of the farming done are also important fac- tors. But in spite of the limitations facing the use of mechanical power on the farms of this country, the inventor and the engineer will solve them if they are left free to undertake the problem.
