One of those witty and often wise paragraphers, whose choppy work livens up the corners of many news- papers, started his “colvum,” the oth- er day, with the followin; “A farmer's life would be ideal if only it didn't involve work.” Now what do vou think of that? When I read it and started to chew it a bit, as I often do similar hunks of wisdom which happen to get into my mental masticating machinery, the first thing I noticed was some- thing jest a leetle wrong about the flavor. Somehow, it didn’'t seem per- fectly fresh. As a supposed-to-be connoisseur in vegetables. I thought it tasted as if it might have been pick- ed yesterday or the day before, in- stead of this mornin; So T changed position; put the leg which ached the most then, over the leg which had ached the most when I first crossed them on the foot- rest; worked the small pillow down a trifie where the crick in my back was temporarily the erickest; and decid- ed to think it ous—if I didn’t have to stop and get the arnica bottle before the thinking contract was finished. You see, I'd just come from an- other day of adggnture with the farm and the various attachments, accom- paniments and appurtenances thereto lawfully appertaining. And my back ached. v legs ached. arms ached. ¥y best ‘tummy gave strong indications of an intention to turn Bolshevik. i. e. make a kussed nuis- ance of itself. T was, therefore, in quite fit shape to consider, as from the inside, the connection of ideality and work in farming. Slowly and at first vaguely, certain reflections which might pass in the country for thoughts began to suzgest themselves. Firstly % Whose “ide~" is tp be accepted as the “ideal” ® everybody else? Answer me that, witty paragrapher! So far as one may judge from vis bie appearances. almost any life which didn’t involve work would he ideal to Jed Prouty. I think he would be per- happy if he could go fishing day except Sund and talk over his juck in the back room of the store every evening—and have some- one to dig the worms for his bait! He wouldn't care whether this was called ‘a_farmer’s life” or any.other kind of a life. Nothing to do except catch fish and brag about them; if that wouldn't touch the ideal for Jed I can’t imagine anything that would. If there isn't a handy trout-brook in Heaven, then T fear Jed is going to-be dicappointed in his eternal future. He's no pot- hunter. He never sells his fish. All he wants is the chance to catch them land the still more entrancing oppor- ! tunity to brag about them. And anything like work sériousty Interferes with this “ideal” programme of Jed's. But, on the other side, there's Tom Hamilton. Tom’'s farm is dearer to him than any trout-brook ever was t Jed. It's his idol and master, as wel as servant. Tom's “ideal” is to make that farm an eighty-acre garden-spot. every inch of which shall do better cach year than it did the vear be- | produce constantly improving ecrops. { When he meets with an idea of some | possible bettermen in barns or fenc- {ing or fesding or cultivation or rota- tion he grabs after it and follows it, up-hill and down-dale. till he captur- es it. He gets as excited about a new development in the south meadow as Jed does over a threepound speckled trout Jurking under the hank | by the oid willow. Tt is said that his wife has to go out. occasionally, and | lead him in to dinner by the ear. because he gets so worked up over the condition of some crop that he can’'t even hear the dinner horn. And neighborhood gossip hah it that they never put oil enough in his particu- lar lamp to burn after nine o'clock. | | so that he will have to stop studyving station bulletins and farm bureau lit- erature when the light goes out on him. What sort of an “ideal” would farm life offer to Tom Hamilton if there wasn't anything in it for his active brain and expert hands and untir- ing legs to work at? Jed's a mighty good neighbor. He always has time to ston and chat. Tom’s a good neighbor, too, but he counts fence-side chat a bore when his corn needs hoeing or that thin spot in the clover needs top-dressing. Jed knows and is known by twice as many people as Tom. Tom’s farm is admired and envied by scores who never look at Jed’s somewhat ragged acres. And, between you and me and the hitching-post, Tom is a good deal more of an asset to his neighborhood and his generation than. Jed. Both will be missed, after they have gome. Jed will leave behind him the. mem- ory of one or two good fish stories. Tom will leave an inspiration and an incentive. Secondly: There's no more use ‘trying to ideal- ize a farmer’s life without work than trying to visualize a halo without edg- es_or a circle with square corners. The farmer’s life not only “involves” work, it IS work. You ean’t separate the |two any more than You can separate something from nothing. - Thirdly: No real farmer wants.to. That's i just one of the ways by which you can tell the real farmer from the imi- tation. The real farmer wants to work and would be lonesome and un- happy without work. He doesn’t want ta be a slave. Nor does he want to be a’ victim. He has no aspirations for martyrdom. Nor does he want to ‘wife .. .. .. He wants to see the fruits of his labors and get some reasonable share in_them. But he doesn't want 'a life without { work anv more than he wants a sir- loin without bone. Not if he's a real | farmer, with farmer’s ‘blood in his veins and love of the farm in. his {heart. If he isn't that, if he's a farm- er on compulsion .instead of from choice, a sort of misfit fellow, why. ther.. that’s his misfortune—his and the farm’s. % Fourthly, lastly, finally and to con- clude: It's a bad sign, a depressing sign, Children Cry THE IDEAL OF FARM LIFE | useless and really more pitiful. anywhere else. jat its annual meeting, elected these officers: R.

You remember the old rhyme -about what happens to Jack when he has too much of either. Perhaps it's our over-stimulating climate that make sus Americans tend to over-doing in both directions. Certainly something has that effect. We are apt to work too hard when we work and play too hard when we play. It's so_in farming and it's so in baseball. We're prone to run things into the ground in our de- vastating hurry to do two men’s jobs in half one man’s time. And then we blame work for the smash-up, not ourselves, as we should. For work is a human essential. It is to life what the bones are to the body. Somewhere, far down in the scale of existence, I belicde there are selly-fish without any sl gletons. Per- haps they may be good [rr crabs and lobsters to eat. But that's all they're “Cash and Carry” Sale 7, W&%{& good for or-ever will be till they de- velope a backbéne.

A clam has no bones—on its insides, that is—and it never does any work. It just lies in the mud and lets tne tides wash food into its open shell. It is about the most perfect development of this life-without-work idea I kuow of. And by and by some busy biped comes along, yanks Mr. Clam out of his mud bed, cuts him out of his shell and makes a chowder of him. Which is the very best use any such kind of critter could be put to. Unfortu- nately. a clam-imitating man or wo- man isn't fit even for chowder!
