I j think the problems and the sufferings I of farm life ought to have In. them The Bedford farmers discussed the tne Quality of inspiration ... . ... , , Because there are hardships to ph.losopby of things agricultural at j overcome they ought to appeal w all their regular meeting held at the {that is strong in our nature home of Mr D. F K Runyon, at Mt Kisco. One thing led to another as these honest rustics talked, until in the end they haa covered every possible top ic from Tariff to Tuberculosis. Dr. L . H Bailey, of Cornell and Katonah, gave the tone to the discus sion ani Seth Low followed with a confession of faith, saying- \It had always been m y wish to touch life as broadly as I could and though I was born in Brooklyn, edu cated at Columbia and always, until a fe w years ago, classed myself as a city product, I felt the desire to know from my own experience what the problems of country life are \I might, had my desire been mere ly for a country place, have purchas ed a residence somewhere on the sea shore, which would have been con genial enough to one with an ances try of sailors. But I choae rather to jflt a fry Mig^ztotetiHtostti&^iin--^ make me richer (or which I should *ke richer) while I learned from rience the problems of - country lfe. \Since 1 came here my firm wish has been to carry on a self support- . ing farm because I think that a farm can't be well run unless it is self sup- jwrting. \t have found out that the country as well as the city Is subject to new conditions. In the old days men knew little of one another for they seldom travelled; today they meet one an other and learn each jDtb,ex,'». inter- \This is the era of combination and in nations where the individual is freest before the law there is the highest development of combination Our farmers must learn to combine both for buying and selling, and it will be through suoh co-operation that rural conditions will be better than eve r before.\ In beginning the afternoon's talk, Dr Bailey said, in part: ' \Every farm is a school and, prop- orly conducted, this school must de velop the artisan spirit in its work ers If it does not do this no one else can \Lately the question of intemper ance has been emphasized in all parts of our country and particularly in the farming sections because there are so few social advantages to mak e the lot of the workers more congenial. To eliminate the saloon will notsolve this problem. We___must give ttiem more 'iociafTife\ \ \ —— J \ \Agriculture must develop leaders to solve its own problems. Too little- [\attention has been given t o the health conditions on 'the farm. I hav e noticed that farm boys are often lopsided and ill developed ; indeed not so healthy as a rule as the city hoy. Man y diseases are peculiar to farm regions, as typhoid and malaria lug devices ar e doing much tcS allevi ate the hardships of farm life and it Is to be hoped that domestic ^ork will be mad e easier by still further application of mechanical knowleUge. \There is grea t opportunity for our young men in ihe country to develop qualities of leadership and I am of the opinion that the country church should take a larger part in the life of the rural communities.\ I Dr. Bailey's remarks were list«4u> d to with keen interest rnd he was warmly applauded as he closed Th<' chairman, Mr . James Wood called for discussion of points of interest and Dr. Rosenberg said j \It may seem paradoxical \but it seems to me true that country 'boys are less able to withstand disease than city youth. And one explanation of the lopsided condition of farm boys to which Dr. Bailey refers, is found In the fact tha t the average farm boy is put to hard forms of work before his body is sufficiently developed. \Country peopl e do not live in the fresh air as the y should. A great per tlon of their time is spent in hermet ically sealed rooms, . The average farmer lives in his kitchen and his front rooms ar e not opened and air ed except for a wedding or a funeral \As a matter of fact the averj city man gets more oxygen Into hir lungs than the farmer.\ Mr James Wood, in closing, called attention to the advantage that would accrue to the farmer economically if some of the middle men who no handle his product were eliminated. He also gav e some interesting geo logical data to show that the soil of Westchester County has in it more of the elements of recuperation and, is fundamentally richer than many of the boasted prairie regions of the L0GAL_P0L1GE FORCE Town Board Will Adopt Up-to-date Methods for Selection of Can didates—Supervisor Barrett and justice Baldwin Naaed as Com- • mittee. be done.

Justice Baldwin suggested that it would be necessary to have one man as Chief who should be responsible for the conduct of the force The matter of salaries was talked over. Supervisor Barrett said that there was at present S25t)0 available In Town funds and it was agreed that this, together with th-- $1500 promised by the Bedford-Newcastle Association would be enough to start a force of four men. The pay wa s discussed and it seemed to be the general sentiment that from $60. to $75 per month would be-flxed on for the patrolmen Mr Barrett declared that whoe\er was taken on the force would have to be a man thoroughly equipped At their Thursday afternoon meet ing, the Town Board discussed the Town Police law after looking over data from Pennsylvania on the or ganization of the Constabulary in that j state j \~ • W B Franklin is later to furnish .
