AdT. Realism of the Movies. Dorothy was at n moving picture theater with her nurse. There was portrayed on the screen a train rapid ly approaching a spot In the fore ground where a man sat on the track unaware of the oncoming danger. To the child the situation was a real one. arid In excited whispers she entreated her nurse: "Please have him get oft the track! Please have him get olT!" As the train drew nearer the spot where the man sat, the child, unable to restrain the warning which she fell was necessary, rose In her seat and shouted at the top of her voice: "Mun, get off!"

SUCCESSFUL MILK CAMPAIGN Dairy Division Co-operating With state organizations to promote Consumption of Milk. (Prepared by the United Stntea Depart meat of Agriculture I The dairy division of the United Stales Department of Agriculture Is co-operating In campaigns to promote a greater consumption of milk, and the results so far hove been remark' able.

FALL FRESHENING IS URGED Calves Are More Easily Raised and Cows Will Give More Milk Farmer Has Mere Time. The man who had his dairy cows freshen this fall Is thanking his lucky stars that most of his work Is com Ing when he has most time to do It and when dairy products bring a high er price. Men who have hud expert ence with both spring and fall fresh eners will nrgue that fall freshening Is better because of the two advan tnges given here and because the calves are more easily raised and the cows In the course of n year will give more milk. Spring freshening has but few advantages despite the fact that It Is the rule. The mnln pnrt of the work conies during the summer, when one Is busy In the Held and files annoy both cows nnd milker. Fall fresheners go dry In July and August. the time of yenr when milking cows Is nnythlng but pleasant.

NATION IN DANGER Farm Abandonment Has Created Most Serious Situation. Food Supply Threatened Through the Drift of the Population to the Cities Now Is Great Opportu. nlty to Take Up Land. The question, "I low Is the country to be fed If the population continues to drift lo the cities?" Is one that should rreale an agitation that will bring about n rvp'y tbet will mean a solution. The census, recently com pleted, reveals a situation truly alarm ing, one that hns never been known In the United States before. The ur ban population Is now greater than that of the rnrnl districts by about 4,000.000. Cities and towns, each with more than 2.500 Inhabitants, contain 54,.TI8.0.'t2 imrsons, or 01.4 per cent of the totnl population, while the farms and smaller towns togt thcr claim only 51 .:iI)!).7.U) persons, or 48.0 per cent of the total. As Is pointed nut by nn Influential Chicago dally, "the drift to the cIHm Is thus proved and, reduced to figures, showing n top-heavy condition of tha Industrial life." Farming Is nnd must remain the basic Industry of the world, and cer tainly should remain the basic Indus, try nf a nation with a continental area like ours. It Is small profit to gain tho markets of the world with manufactured goods If agriculture hns decayed so badly as lo furnish nn un certain subsistence for our people, nnd fluctuating crops arc reflected In price changes Hint upset tho economic life of the country. Yet we are within mensurahle distance of thnt condition, If the present or recent drift townrd the cities continues. Most writers on this topic tnke It for granted thnt young folks go from farms to cities merely to make more money. Doubtless that Is something t a motive at nil times nnd was a very strong ono In tho period Imme diately nfter the wnr, when city Indus tries paid wages totally Impossible for farmers. to rival. It Is hoped' thnt this drifting has renched Its apex. Unless It tias, ami there still remains a possibility of Its continuance, the effect ennnot be fore told. The grent wave of mantifactures for wnr purposes has ceased, and with It the number of those employed In factories Is diminishing by thousands dally. It Is therefore hoped that there will again he heard the slogan. "For ward to the Land." If prices to which farm land has reached are prices pro hibitive to many, the opportunity Is still open elsewhere. There are states possessing large areas of good land that may still be had at prices within the reach of many, nnd It Is doubtless true thnt In self-preservation It will he necessary to bring these lands un der cultivation. The prices are not high, considering their value. Then, too, there ore the lands of Western Canada, that hold out an Inviting pros pect. Hep6rts from there show that the prosperity of the farmers there Is not mythical. Farming there Is con ducted on scientific principles, nnd the climate Is such ns appeals. Tho production amply repuys all the ex-, pendlture tha,t mny ho mnde. The social conditions are of n character that make fnrm life n pleasure, nnd tends to keep the young man nnd young woman from pining for urhnn life with so many drnwhocks. If con ditions ns above mentioned, showing such a large percentage of population In the cities nnd towns, continues, they will require food. The opportunity to supply It Is by the means suggested. Go forward to the fnrm, become In dependent, nnd become a factor In supplying the world's needs In cnttle, sheep, grain and such other commo dities as the form will produce and the resident of the city requires.
