BE CAREFUL
Of all summer amusements nothing
in the way of exerciae or amu»eent
i> so appealing as swimming to the
y >ung pec pie. Most young men and
b ys have been able to swim for ages
p. .st and it was never suggested that
w >men could or should swim, but re
cent years have brought forth woman
a a full-fledged swimmer. There has
ly-ver been any reason why women
f) ould not swim fo rit is considered by
everyone tc be one of the finest and
most healthful exercises that one can
en,'age in. It is also of very great
value to know how to swim in cares
of emergency, and there is no reason
why swimming should not bs taught
in. as to afford everyone an opportu
nity to learn.
.Swimming is, one .of the modern
j. : . t times however, that has gone t.
b.;ch an extreme that it has drawn the
fire of condemnation. It is frequently
indulged in by those who seem not to
n 'nil indecent expcsuic uu-J they are
thereby killing modesty and reserve,
a.id it may be that while the body is
b"ing strengthened and invigorated
b ' swimming that the careless habit
o' rushing into watering places h\
ii.en and women is weakening the
n orals of the people; for the things
tat suggest immoral thoughts .'>
F me damage,- not to all, but to
st me people.
Not being able to swim causes many
p. ople to drown, but to learn to
p in the right way may cause
ii any to fall. Tlie summer resort.
1-. ve such a grip on the people that it
is extremely hard to influence them
which is only a greater resaon why
tiio.se who know the tendency of hum-.
u i beings to drift should double their
e jrgies to improve the tone of the
j. ,cs to be frequented by thir boys
it d girls.
In many instances we do not know
}i w things are. We should nevr allow
or children or' friends t> enter u
ji tee until we first know it is a place
c health and strength for both the
n. ind and body.

TOWN AND FARMERS
What does your town do for the
farmers who trade in it?
We know of one village-it has
only about 400 people—where there
had been complaints that farmei:
went sending their money eway to
mail order houses and the merchants
decided to create a more friendly feel
ing between the villagers and the sui
rounding farmers.
They found many things could be
done. The first achievement was plen
ty of hitching posts for teams ami
places to park carp. They even went
one si'jp farther and ptj/.uaJ shed 1
tor tars and macnuies.
..g; in, it was fuun-J that farmers
c cut have to wait in town for lepairs
for otl*jr reano u. A room, Yi by
IJI right on the in ,:i street, m an
U' u.-cd building, W irt fitted up simply
w .h-tables and crt -i. *s ami rest room
f,.i-j ities, and now thai loom is filled
of the day w.t.i farmers' wives
and heir childnen, who have at last
just what they have wanted lor years.
That room is used so mu'h tiiat it
wil toon hve to be enlu 'gvd.
Hut - ,ic >oJ thing utually leads t
i.iio'ne: it farmei.* bei>*> to 1...ve
a del.irte iiiehdly feeling *ei the
little vilage. Here was serv ice without
any thought of immediate re'.uii.tv
Mail orders for goods to lull
off a little.
Then the business men of the vil
lage decided to have •• meeting and
ask the farmers in lo uilk things
over. Luncheon was seived. T'uere
were no set speeches. The villagers
said they wanted to meet the farmers
on the basis of genuine friendship.
The farmers were treated with thi
utmost cordiality. There wns no coi de
scension shown. Just friendly t>asis ol
equality. »
Then someone suggeiled forming a
community club, villagers and fann
ers all working together. The idea was
immediately accepted. In u few
months a community house was built.
It proved remarkably easy to get
the funds. The farmers contributed
and thene was a fine get-together
feeling all around.
We do not believe that after a year
or so there will be many mail orders
going out from this coinmiihi'ty.
The strange thing is, why don't
more towns follow the example of
thi slittle place with 400 inhabitants?
They could all do "it with a little initi
ative.—Milwaukee Journal.
