It is also true that almost everybody has a cure for the ills that assail us; and, generally speaking, the cure is to be applied to everybody but ourselves, because we KNOW that we are not responsible for the muddle. The cures run all the way from the rankest com- munism to the appointment of a dictator with Musso- lini powers. These various controlling forces would so regulate the iniquitous practices in other people's business that we should "live happy ever after." The United States has given new meaning to the alphabet in attempting cures for the national ills. The "cures" have not been a pronounced success. In fact the doctors disagree as to results. In most of the efforts to improve local and world conllitions the inevitable has been overlooked. There are certain trends of human behavior that cannot be changed any more than the direction of the wind can be changed. For instance, the arrival of the auto has "received a large share of blame for our economic ills, But what are we going to do about it? As a people-- nothing. Humanity is on a voyage of discovery, and the only way we can personally 'avoid danger and _ save gas is to stay at home. As old Mr. Rolph used to say regarding such things as he did not consider worthy of support--*'we must button up our pockets" and refuse to spend our money that way. . Of course we shall do nothing of the kind if we 'can avoid such a catastrophe, for we must keep in the procession, and the auto is leading the-way, Indeed, the next generation' may find itself 'up in the air," in a very real sense, AER We talk of this being a 'free country." It is "free" "to_most of us in the sense that we may "'free" to enjoy all the advantages of this luxurious age. We must be able to give wanted value for our. luxuries. The study of "wanted" values reveals many problems of adjustment for the modern citizen. He finds that prize-fighting 'and professional sport' are much more "wanted" than farm products or school teaching, and so the farmer and the school teacher are 'not so well paid as the prize fighter or the professional sport, SRL Fa There is a cure for the inequalities of payment for "wanted" services, and that is education.

On February 3rd, 1892, Mr. Swain married Sarah Catherine Werry, daughter of Thomas and Eliza Werry and in November of the same year moved to the Woodley farm on the 3rd concesslon, on which they have since lived.
