"The problem of rpllevlnn the congestion
of population In largo cities.-' which we
read ho much nbout now-a-days consists
merely In providing proier transportation
facilities and Inducing people who have
the means of living out tin nature's realm
where all la quirt, peaceful, healthful and
pleasant. Man Is an out-of-door creature,
j and the more time he can spend In his
natural element the healthier and more suc-
cessful he Is. The Joy of being- trnns
ported In a few minutes from the heart
1 of a smoky, noisy, odorous, city business
center with Its continual nerve ' racking;,
money making strife and nothing but busi
ness, business everywhere to a quiet coun
try home surrounded by trees, flowers, the
. aroma of the forest and the recollections
of boyhood can only be appreciated by ex
perience. The relief and rest It jives to
a busy overworked mind soon becomes a
; business asset. The habit of leaving all
business cares at the office Is easily
acquired when the change Is so marked. No
' matter how many milestones one has
, turned the spirit of youth soon returns
to the man who can overlook the little In
convenience of the going and coming and
build his home In a suburban, even primi
tive country location and live as close to
nature as conventionalism will allow.
While the actual profits In health and In
centive to endeavor to the owner of such
a home are large, they are really little com
pared to the advantages for health, mor
ality and pleasure which a country home
offers to the children. Constant contact
with the sights of evil which greet a child
on every hand In a large city can not Im
prove Its morals and are sura to lead to
evil Imaginings which may or may not be
the seed from which will spring future
Iniquity according to the child's training
and personal power to resist temptation, for
temptations will surely come to a city
child. A large city has been likened to a
sponge which continually soaks up a mixed
population of varying morals, let a drop
of black Impurity be taken up and It will
perculate through the entire contents leav
ing its darkest sand irradlcal strains In
certain places, but affecting the Whole
to some extent. A child raised In the coun
try, In a modern attractive home, with
everything bearing the stamp of simplicity
and glnulneness will grow up with that
simple frankness, natural honesty and
genuine sincerity and charm of manner, to
say nothing of .good health, which forms
the nucleus from which all our great men
grew up to sturdy, robust manhood. Lin
coln, Garfield, Grant were all born In
country homes of primitive ruBtlclty. In
the primitive homes of America "Are
rocked many cradles which our nation
would preserve for centuries as sacred. If
we only knew which ones they were."

Integrity, perseverance and a good con
stitution are the prime factors of success.
If a man is healthy and honest (has no
mental cobwebs or entangling alliances
With his conscience) he will be preseverlng
and perseverance assures success. Suc
cess Is the "pay dirt" you get for digging.
Lack of contamination will tend to raise
the morality and Integrity of a country
raised child above the average city child
and constant outdoor recreation Is a ccr
tain flslcal panacla. A child with the above
prime factors as a natural part of his char
acter will not grow up lacking oppor
tunities, he will create them.
As a city grows the tendency to live In
closer quarters, even to housing a dozen
families on a lot formerly occupied by
one, becomes more marked. This results
in a commonplace manner of living, which
Boon becomes a habit. The incidents of
each day's life vary but little. The result
ris that many people live a humdrum exist
ence year after year and never think to
take a day off and get acquainted with na
ture In her natural environment If they
did they would realize how much of real,
delightful, healthful living Is possible
within easy access to any busy center and
move from their cramped, uninteresting
abodes (you can hardly call a flat or tene
ment a borne) Into the free open country,
where neighbor greets neighbor eaon morn
ing with a kindly smile and all Is joy and
sunshine We often hear complaints from
young married oouples on the ban which
rental agents place on children In flat
buildings. It Is really a kindness to chil
dren. Children abhor restraint. It dwarfs
them mentally and physically, and they
would be placed under too much unnat
ural restraint in a flat. A complete home
in a space hardly wide enough for a dog
to wag his tall. I 'have been told that some
people have to go out of doors when they
want to smile because they live In a flav.

Flats serve their useful purpose us a
temporary dwelling to people Just starting
out In life, who must, for financial rea
sons, confine themselves to the most mod

to waste the opportunity s for the true en
joyment of living by spending a lifetime
as a cliff dweller In one of those human
kennels, a flat
One of the advantages of building In. the
country from an architectural standpoint
Is the fact that a country home Is essen
tially all front. Very often what we usu
ally term the front of the house faces the
most desirable view, while the approach
by driveway is from the opposite side,
making it necessary to make one side as
attractive as the other. This means a
homo in which one takes more pride and
consequently gives more care to than Is
given to the rear part of a house on a
congested street with a "city front" that
Is square, covered with useless ornament
and generally uninteresting. There are few
homes In the city in which a guest Is per
mitted to Inspect the back porch, and It Is
Just as well that they do not, for the av
erage back porch does little credit to the
owner's taste. The "all front" effect of a
country home Is therefore but another ex
ample of the genuineness of country life.
Here the "He" on a "city front" which
leads one to believe that the elegance Is
but the Index of what further examination
wculd reveal is impossible, for the country
home Is seen too much In perspective to
make one side elegant and another plain
without exposing the sham. Some people
build the front door of mahogany, with
gold-plated hardware trimmings, and use
a cheap grade of wood for the Interior fin
ishing. This Is not right and Is plainly an
effort to deceive the general public into
believing the home more elegant than It is
In order to outdo the neighbors. A front
entrance should be attractive as a mark
of welcome to guests, but It should be ap
propriately so and not lead to unpleasant
surprises. Homes which contain lies will
give to the world that kind of children
The greatest Influences in the making tf a
child's character are heredity and environ
ment Then give to your children the beat
environment that your means will afford.
Take them out Into the bosom of natuVe,
where simple things, simple lives and sim
ple ways and manners are always the most
appropriate. Build a simple home with the
"front yard" all around let; let them in
vigorate their bodies with healthful recre
ation in nature's pure ozone, untainted by
the poisons of city contaminations with
disease and moral iniquity, that they may
grow up to be noble, manly men and
virtuous women and call you blessed.

Mr. Steve Artesian was not well when
he appeared in police court. He had a
headache.
The evidence against Artesian was that
he was not what his name Implied. He
had sounded other depths than wells and
had tasted other drinks than come from
artesian sources. Further than this, it ap
peared he had got beyond bis depths.
"First offense," was the factor found
by Judge Crawford in Arteslan's favor.
The prisoner was found not guilty and
told to "drlH."

OMAHA AFTER WOOL GROWERS
Large Delegation Goes to Portland for
the Next Convention.
DELFELDER IS TO HELP OUT
President of the National Wool Grow,
ere Arrompanles the Omaha Del
ecatloa to the West Sat
urday Kora.
President J. A. Delfelder of ths National
Wool Growers' association will pull hard
for Omaha for the next convention of the
Wool Growers' association. Mr. Delfelder,
who was In Omaha Saturday morning,
left for the west at 12:50 p. m., with the
Omaha delegation enroute tor Portland.
where the wool growers meet January t.
"Omaha has a good' finance to get the
convention," said Mr. Delfelder. "It Is
sending a strong delegation to Portland
and Its prospects seem good so far as one
can tell In advance."
Mr. Delfelder was accompanied by his
wife who is a bride of six months. Ho
comes here from Washington, where he
and Dr. Wilson of Douglas, Wyo., another
big wool raiser, have been consulting rela
tive to the prospects for a tariff commis
sion and possible changes in the wool
schedule.
Dr. Wilson spoke In vein similar to Mr.
Delfelder. The Omahans who must com
pete against Denver and Chicago for the
convention Include representatives of the
Commercial club, the South Omaha Live
Stock exchange, Omaha hotels and com
mission men. The party will Include A. F.
Stryker, J. M. Guild, Rome Miller, Will
A. Campbell. F. Castle, Everett Bucking
ham, Will Wood, Joseph Shoemaker, Wil
liam Farrar, Charles Bogus and Ed Cahow.
Omaha goes before the convention with
many excellent arguments. The Omaha
wool market has expanded wonderfully
and the great wool warehouse haa been
full of thousands and thousands of pounds
of wool all year. Inasmuch as 1910 la really
the first year of the wool warehouse op
eration, a better showing could not pos
sibly bo asked.
The steadily growing Importance of this
city as a primary wool market is a fact
which cannot but fall to impress the dele
gates to the convention.
