Quick’s book doesn’t stop with a discussion of the farm- 8 plight today. It goes deeper than that, to study the foundation of our democratic civilization, which ick says is built on agriculture. If the farmers give p, and go to the cities, he points out, our civilization come down or be rebuilt on other lines. ‘The farm is not merely a home—a place to live,” Quick ays. “It is the very source of life. When it is lost, the imily sinks to the lowest place in our national economy.” ‘The younger generation, which refuses to go on with life of unrequited toil, is going “into the world of life, taking from the rural population the best minds it owns, and leaving the remainder to that extent intel- 4] lly‘ and spiritually impoverished,” he warns, and nu Of __ “We need not think that this is anything new in history. if is as old as ancient Egypt and the cities of the Meso- potamian plain. “Where the people who dwell on the land are con- ‘démned to unrequited toil, it is merely a matter of years hen the whole state will find its foundations sapped, and Ml fall in ruin. i “Tn a centralized state like ours, this destruction comes from the rushing of the dispossessed and unrequited to cities. The farmers suffer first, then the smalk towns down, then the larger cities decay, and the over-swol- | centers of population, deprived of nourishment and th lost markets, fall into the hands of a mobocracy of Hpoverished and idle people, andthe state passes into something else.” ‘Quick's views are worth thinking about. He has been ‘studying this farmer question for a lifetime. He is a practical, working farmer himself. He has given much ight to the question of population and gvernment, Tence, when he warns that our democratic civilization ‘in danger of being engulfed in the Great Ditch of ob- , it is time that city folks gave some thought to problem of saving the farmers. “Saved, but It Certainly Woke Us Up!” Vane ft iid (CONFIDENCE / in OUR by Gove rNmenr Test Yourself for Geographical Knowledge In your knowledge world-wide s0 | Where is th far as geography ts concerned? 5.

Dear Folks: I found that I, on April first, was being treated rough. My kid was doing quite his worst at April Foolish stuff, 1 thought, “If tricks are on your mind, I'll mako the day complete—with Richards at the Mot wo!ll find a super- tricky treat. And #0 I took the kid and went. Woe watched the mystic art. The magic made a keen event for any boyish heart, The kid looked on with eager eyes at each succeeding trick. And now and then he yolced surprise, “By golly! Ain't it slick!" The tricks included more than one I knew from boy- hood's day, and when you savvy how It's dono, it takes the Joy away.
