ICopyriglit, 1310, by American 1'rosn Amo eiatlon.J THIS social life and amusements of the country arc essentially different from those tu the city. I have heard people say that there Is no such thing us social life In the country, but Inquiry dis closed the fact that they never had spent much tluio lu a modern, wide awake farm community. The founda tion of all social life is In the home. It Is In the couutry that the homo is de veloped to tho highest extent, and It necessurlly follows that It Is In the couutry that the strongest basis for a healthy social llfo exists. The social life of tho so called "soci ety" people of the city docs not exist in the couutry, and It Is a blessing to the couutry that It docs not. Such a social life Is unnatural. Social llfo Is primarily for amusement, recreation nnd development. Whcro Is the ntnuso uieut or the rccrcatlou In tho struggle for social recognition by a clique whom a turu of tho wheel of fortune has brought uppermost? Where Is tho development unless It be the develop ment of heartaches on the part of tho wife und poverty on the part of the husband? Such a society, whcro peo ple are measured by their moucy rath er than by their true worth, Is snob bery rather thun social life. Outside the "society" circles tho so cial llfo of the city consists largely of amusements Couey Island' nnd Its Imi tators, theaters and public dances. Some of these things arc all right In their way. They furnish amusement and recreation. But they do uot fur nish development. Here Is where tho great advantage f couutry social life comes In. It Is not furnished ready raado to those who have the price. Social diversions lb the country ore made to order. That Is the reasou why some people do not like them, und that Is why a person who oueo really gets Into the spirit of country social life Is never afterward satisfied with social affairs In which ho cannot have un active part. The social possibilities of the country are not taken udvantnge of In nil com- JMKUKR8' I'lONIO DINNElt ON TUB OR 488. munlttes. It Is true. In too many places each family Is content to live by itself, with us little Intercourse as possible with the neighbors. It ts such communities that contribute most largely to the townward How of popu lation. With the general waking up of the farming districts Is coming u broadening of social life. In some places the local church Is the social center, but too often there ure some members who consider no harmless a thing ns mi ice crou m supper to help pny the preacher a sin. Ah ii result the im port mice of the church us a so cial factor is nut what It should be. The most Important centers of social life iu the country are farmers' organ izations of various kinds. Probably tho most Important of these, because the most extensive, is the grange. The grange has been In existence for forty-four years nnd numbers at present more than 1.000.000 members. In those communities where It has obtained a si mug hold It Is very effective In bring ing the people together. In the older Flutes a grange neighborhood can be told by the looks of the farms and buildings. The plan of the local grange Is to hold meetings nt regular Intervals, usually once a week In the winter and sometimes us Infrequently as onco a mouth In the summer. Generally those meetings are held at the home of one of tho members. Tho whole family he lougs. As u rule, there Is u literary program In connection with tho meet lug, where the boys and girls learn to talk In public. Part of the program is devoted to agricultural topics, as one of the objects of the grange Is educa tion In farming. There Is always enough amusement mixed in, how ever, to keep tho children Interested. In the winter the meetings begin In the nftoruonu, nud the men look over the stock nud talk over their problems wnlle the children play und the women "visit " In addition to the grange, there arc nmny local farmers clubs that un I VK3HMMttitittttil3jft!(e,''Vii I HNiHtlVi 4Prv5& aLkSLrPfw&sSl'SwwawSil doing a great deal to bring their mem bers together socially. Tho only rea son that there tire not mora such or gatilzntliMH Is the lack of some ono to Uikc the lead. The cities hava so loug been lira wing the best blood from sotuti fnral communities that in many places there Is precious little left to build upon With the changing conditions that arc restoring the farm to a lead lug place lu our national life them will be no lack of lenders, niul Uiu tltne will come when every community will have lt club or grange. In the Mississippi valley states, whore Industrial co-operation has ob tained a strong foothold, co-operntlva picnics are one of tho principal diver sions. These tiro big affairs, Including nil the people for tulles around. There are speeches and amusements nud plen ty to eat, nnd every one goes homo happy. A number of country towns and ru ral communities havo a "field day" once or twite u year, which is In tho nature of a big picnic, at which ath letic contests predominate. Local Fourth of July celebrations give tho country boys a chance to work off their patriotism for a week lu advance in helping to get things ready, aud they enjoy the day a great deal more than they would a ready madu celebration In a big town, where nil they could do would be to stand on tho side lines nud shout. The best part of these u flairs Is that they develop originality and initiative on the pun of tho young people It leaches them to develop any latent ability for leader ship which they may possess The buy who can get together nine funnel hoys ou Saturday afternoons and urbanize them Into a ball team that mu win from the neighboring township Is the one who Is going to he able to do things when he gets older It Is tut small task to mnkc an effective Ion in out' of nine boys when eight of them want to pitch nnd the other couldu''. catch u ball to suvc his h It is the farm boys of today who will be foremost in the agricultural communities of tomorrow. One of the most Important of the social factors affecting farm llfo Is a boys' club. Nebraska has a well developed sys tern of boys' and girls' corn clubs. There are a few lu Iowa and Illinois, and more nro being organized. Tho members of theso clubs each have their plot of corn. They meet around from place to place, get better ac quainted with otie another and study corn growing. Often an experienced corn grower meets with them nnd gives them some practical lessons. In some cases these clubs are under the supervision of the agricultural college, which seuds out letters of Instruction to the boys every two weeks or so. In the winter a corn contest is held nt the agricultural college. Some of the counties have locnl contests. There are prizes for the best corn and for tho tie l corn Judging Often tho boys who do the best work at the locnl contests have their expenses paid to the state coutest at the agricultural college. Similar contests in cooklDg and sew ing are held for the girls. Work of this kind Is an Inspiration to the boys and girls. They begin to seo some of the real enjoyment of farm life. This work Is being extended to the boys of the cities by means of summer camps, where the boys are taken for n Vacation, ut the same time getting In struction nnd object lessons in agri culture. Many it boy who otherwise would have spent his life In town working for somebody else Is thus started on tho way to become nn Inde pendent furmer. Another big fuctor In rural social life Is the country literary society. This reaches more people thau a grange or a club can reach. Its disadvantage Is thnt the membership Is so Inrge that only u few can appear on the pro grams. But a great many can listen, nnd they eagerly avnll themselves of the opportunity. Tho country literary society when rightly managed com bines both the social and the educa tional features and Is a great uplift to the community. Along with these other social factors come the local lecture courses. The talent Is uot always the best, but usu ally It Is surprisingly good. Thun thero are lee- cream suppers, picnics and fishing excursions In the summer und oyster suppers In the winter. The wo men often have u ladles' nld society, where they can meet und sew nnd visit to their hearts' content. The men have u fraternal order or two. where they can get together on Saturday evening During the last few years the Y. M. O. A. has been extending to the country and doing a great deal of good work. Often clubrooms und a gymnasium are established, where the neighbor hood boys can meet nnd try their ath letic skill Where such rooms have taken the place of the grocery store ns an evening mooting place for the boys nnd young men there Is n noticeable Improvement lu the community. During vncntlous. when the young people nre home from school, there Is uo lack of social diversions thnt ap peal especially to them. There Is Just as much culture among theso modern young people of the country ns there Is among the same classes In the city nnd much more wholo henrtedness. The couutry dunces und parties nre well conducted affairs aud the occa sion of much harmless fun. An occa sional trip to town to attend the thea ter by way of the trolley line or In au tomobiles or In a big sleigh gives vari ety to the amusements Taking all these factors together, the social life found in the most highly developed country communities is su perior lu nliunst every way to that found hi the cities. The development of this wholesome social life nud Its more general .-xicnslilu throughout the country will he Important factors lu turning the tide of population country VII Ml. FREIGHT BY HER COSTS ONLY ONE-SIXTH TO 0N TENTH AS MUCH AS DY HAIL. TRANSPORTATION'S BIQ TOLL American People Annually Pay Out Three Timet aa Much for Trans portation a They Pay for Support of the Government. Do you know That tho people of tho United States pay nut each year about throo times ns much In transportation taxes, that Is, for the carriage of freight and pas sengers, as they pay in taxos for the support of government, national, state and locnl? That transportation nffocts tho price of everything that everybody buys, soils, eats, wears or usee in any way whatovor air, water and Bimshlno ex cepted? That cheap transportation boncflta both the producer nnd the consumer, making wheat and cotton hlghor and flour nnd cloth lower at one nnd the same time? That tho cheapest known transpor tation la water transportation, costing, on the nverago, from ono-sixth to one tenth as much as transportation by rail? That the direct saving on the goods actually carrlod by water In the United States in over J5CO.000.000 a year? - That railways always make lower rates when subject to tho competition of watorways than whero such compe tition does not exist? Thnl .jhff- .Indirect Bavins, thua caused, Is' probably aa large an the di rect saving given above? That both tho direct and Indirect saving would bo lnrgoly Increased by tho furthor improvement of our water ways? i , . That waterways always increase the profits of the railways with which they coma Into competition? For the rea son thnt waterways, by giving cheap transportation for raw materials, actu ally create both Industry and com merce? As Is Indicated by tho fact That In 1900 there was only one cltj In tho United Slates, with a population of 150,000 or over, which wob not It cnted on a navlgnblo waterway? And further How Frankfort Benefited. That Frankfort, Germnuy, grew more In tho twenty years after tho River Main was canalized than it had grown In the tw'o hundred yeara be fore? And ngnln That Germany, which is nearly CO, 000 square mllcfl smaller than Texas, but has one of tho finest waterway systems In tho world, had In 1908 a foreign commerce greater than that ol the United States by over $500,000, 000? That throughout tho civilized world the largest cities, the densest popula tion, tho boniest nnd most prosperoui people are to bo found along naviga ble watorways? That the surest nnd speediest waj to develop the resources of the nation and overy .state and section thereof to Increase tho growth of overy city and community In the country, to pro mote the prosperity of every Interest including the railroads, and of every citizen, east, west, north and south,. 1 to improve all our waterways as fast and as far as we can? That money used for the improve ment of waterways, wisely planned and honestly constrtiqted, is not. an expenditure but tin Investment, whlcb will pay a dividend of at least 100 pet cent a year? Provision for Funds. That tho benefits which would rc aultrfrom the co.aprehenslvo Improve ment of our waterways, und the losses, which would follow our failure a make such Improvement, nre so enor inouii. that funds thould be provided by the issuance of bonds us has been done by railways so that tho worb may be begun at once and finished n soon as possible? That the national government clalnu exclusive Jurisdiction nd exerclBes supreme control over nil navigable wa terwnya? And therefore That It depends entirely on the con gress of the United States whether the work of creating u great national system of waterways shall be done at all tand how soon it shall be flnlshedl Tliut tho vote of the member of con gress from your district will help tc decide the policy of the government with regard to waterways? That the action of congressmen li influenced by the wishes of their con stituents, when they know what those wishes are? That you have the right to ask th candidates for congress in your dis trict to state their position on thii question now, before the election? That you are blind to your own In teresta If you do not ask your candi dates to pledge themselves to work and vote for waterways If elected, and then demand of the one who la elect ed that he shall keep his pledgo? The facts and figures given in thia series of articles have been submitted In the hope that those who read them would see tho importance of the policy of waterway improvement advocated by the National Rivers and Harbors congress, and would uld in securing the adoption of that policy. How well they havo served the purpose for which they were writteu must be left for their readers to decide. Every obstruction to the free and open navigation of our waterways ia a brake ou the wheels of lftrtittrv.
