AN OLD GAME
The poorly chosen form of rec-
reation frequently indulged in by
misguided persons who edit daily
newspapers is that of telling the
man who farms how he should
run his business. One of the ad-
visers speaks very harshly to his
imaginary farmer readers, and
tells them that they will have to
put more ginger into their work
Then after harshly warning them
not to look upon their work as
drudgery, and admonishing them
to think and plan harder, he also
tells them to get out of the rut
All of which is very good advice
to each and every one of ns
though it is particularly applica-
nts to the man who lives in town
When this same person, how-
ever, tells his phantom audience
of farmers that they must quit
running around so much, to “fish
frys and picnics at times when
the corn needs plowing,” he be
trays his utter ignorance of farm
life, and actual conditions in the
grain belt. The real truth is that
very few farm folks get out and
run around half enough, and the
man who would desert his corn
w’hcn it needed plowing, in order
to go to a picnic is a® rare as a
Dodo bird .
Fortunately very few farmers
read these insults which arise
from ignorance rather than from
actual intent; and so it does not
make much difference. It. is,
however, to be regretted that
these self-appointed orities of the
farmer never have an opportuni-
ty to know what folks really thin
of them.

Gtis Limn went up tx> Belptre,,
Kans., and found that where his
run was last year, had been hail-
ed out. He loaded the machine
for Waldron or Amorita. The
night Gus reached, the machine,
the town was so full of people
that he slept on top of the separ-
ator. During the night a big
wind storm came up and tore the
roof c/f and took one side of the
shed out. He said that things
were lively around there for a
little while and he felt that he
was lucky in not getting hurt nor
having any damage done to the
machine. It was so dry up there
last -all that the wheat did not
•ome up well and many farmers
he knew had 600 acres of corn.

The Mosquito is as persistent in pre
senting their bill as the fellow you
owe a dime
Mrs Cora Griffin made a business
trip to Renfrow, Okla Monday
The Township Boards are in a
dilemma, the new road Law is a puz
zle to them, better declare all roads

LIVED IN AIR-TIGHT BOX
He Showed Affection for Everybody
and Everything Except Neighbor
on Party Telephone Line.
There was opce a man who tried to
love his neighbors. He began with
those next door and succeeded in lov-
ing them very satisfactorily, although
one of them kept chickens and the oth
er one was a rival and perhaps supe-
rior gardener. From these concrete
examples he proceeded to demonstrate
his ability to love the abstract var
riety of neighbors which Includes ev-
erybody and everything. He not pnly
loved his neighbors’ chickens, but he
loved his neighbors' garden—even the
arrogant tomatoes that bloomed and
flourished there while those in his own
garden pined away. He loved the ice-
man and the light and gas and water
men and he would have loved the man
who cleaned the streets if he had been
certain of his existence.
He loved the gentleman across the
street who tinkered with his motor
car all day Sunday, and he loved the
woodpecker that hammered the water-
spout outside his bedroom window at
five o’clock each morning. He loved
the neighbors’ children, although they
pulled his pansies, and he pretended
that he loved the beetles that fed on
the hearts of his rosebuds. He loved
hot weather and cold weather, and ex-
pressed a peculiar affection for the
weather man.
All these he loved, and many more,
but there was one neighbor that he
could not love. It was the neighbor
who was said to be on the same party
telephone line with him. It is doubt
ful If anybody has ever succeeded In
loving that elusive, ever-present some-
body who seems to live on his party
line. It has long been a matter of re
gret that one half of the world did not
know how the other hall lived. By
means of the party line we have found
out all about It, and a very unprofita-
ble piece of knowledge It has been.
We know too much about the" neigh-
bor on our party line, and he knows
too much about us.
This man might have succeeded In
loving hiB neighbor on his telephone
line If he had met him over the gar-
den fence, but they were forever as-
saulting each other with unexpected
and irritable "helloes,” and with vehe-
ment requests from each to the other
to "get off the line.” When he called
up his wife In the morning his neigh-
bor's wife answered him, and when
he tumbled down the stairs to answer
his telephone In the night the neigh-
bor sent him back to bed humiliated.
And then his wife and the neighbor’s
wife met at a luncheon where the lat-
ter Induced the former to listen to a
weary recital of the telephone habits
of the "folks on their party line.” Of
course there wTas no chance after that
It seems that it cannot be done. The
party telephone lines connect us too
closely with our neighbors to permit
us to love each other.
The Berry Par Excellence.
After the wild straw'berry has been
held up as the strawberry par excel
lence. for generations, the New York
Independent comes along and says It
is all a myth. It Is pure Imagination,
the article says, that wild strawber-
ries were or are sweeter than the
cultivated sort.
That assertion may pass unnoticed
by the man who has lived all his life
on paved streets. But ask the man
who, as a boy, went out In the early
flays of summer to the fields or road-
side hunting for wild strawberries.
Wild strawberries! What memories
they recall. Was there ever a straw-
berry, hothouse or truck garden va-
riety, that could compare In sweetness
or flavor to the strawberry of the
countryside and field? Granting that
old-time memories are faulty, ask the
country boy of today. The verdict of
the Independent is reversed on appeal
to the great American tribunal of boy-
hood. Nothing can dim the fame of
the wild strawberry. It Is still the
berry par excellence.—Kansas City
Times.
