BEING A PASTORAL-- en OOO PRA RA AAR AAAI HATEVER theory of life and evolution you may have; whether you are Darwinian and believe you re- member how you felt when you clung with your toes and swung with your tail; or hold that the greater apes are a degenerate off-shoot of man, or opine that Adam ate an apple and was cast out to labor; or that rounding cycles have slowly brought us to where we are, and will keep sending us on our way; or that @ here because we're here and that when we're dead we are a long time deceased; whatever be your te hobby of what it is all about, still this you have felt and dimly understand, and that is the urge of soil. All of us like to get back to earth; maybe in a limousine speeding by the tumbling waters that bathe the boulevard; maybe to hike to the hills and watch the sunset glow, perhaps to dig in the dirt and make tn things come from brown “dead” perhaps just to roll in the sand and the sun. But all of us love the earth, the sky, the sea, the play of cloud and the kindly patter of the rain on | resonant shingle. : Most old men on the farm are hearty, happy and free from nefves. Most old city men are dyspeptic, frayed, grouchy and cynical. Life lives out beyond the piles, of brick and stone, and out beyond tire clang and ambulance siren; the peace that passeth all understanding comes nearer being a live thing in the great pine woods, or in quiet, high mountain meadows, or over the bar, tossing in a cruiser where the mountain waves are stirred the mighty volcanoes of the moon, than at the opera, in the civic den of thieves, or where the long green the only vegetation. | | seeds, 'STAR—SATURDAY, MARCH 3, -MOSTLY ON ONIONS. —_ fed his ’s work in the wind and the sun and endeavor to keep him decent four brick walls, j of a can ; > ihe aS Men make money in cities—or are broken on the wheel—but men live and grow and glow 1 country. f ‘ eh se It is true that the average town worker transplanted to the farm is a failure; just as the farm boy fin 1s new troubles for his nourishment in town.

All our curses are man-made; whether we fell, or were pushed, terial, we are not living naturally and so we suffer. ; And lest any cynical person think we don’t know what we are talking about, ye ari above was inspired the fact that a Pike st. grocer charged us 15 cents for onions yesterday, ago, when the benighted ranch we are trying to pay for had onions, we couldn’t give them awa If 15-cent onions, and 5-cent potatoes, and $2-wheat and $25-alfalfa wouldn’t make one arise and ges- ticulate on the beauties of the simple life down on the farm, we would like to know what would. ; And because we let the city jugglers of the market make or break the prices, we are half starving these days, and the farmer is not getting the money either.
