Old Advice Reviewed.

Nearly every paper in the United
States has at times advised boys to re-
main on the farm, and not to trust the
hayward ways of fortune arising from
the diversified life of city. In part,
this advice is very good If young
man expects to come to town and have
an easy time, he simply takes the wrong
view Of the situation. Sometimes, while
driving around town on load of wood,

people in town are having an excessive.
ly funny time, and that their life is a
magnificent fountain upon which chang.
ing lights are playing. He may think
that every pedestrian he sees is walking
for pleasure, and that when he gets
tired of walking, he'll enter into some
other kind Of pleasure, equally as sen.
sational. The country boy looks in up.

"Stay on the farm" is the beginning
of hundreds of newspaper articles. As
a rule they are written by men who left
the farm years ago and attained some
thing of success. The universal advice
of ''stay away from town" is worthy OF
but little consideration. Many of the
most successful business men in the
United States have came from between
the pillow handles. If they had remained
on the farm as their county papers adj
vised them, they might now be the til.
lers of mOrtgaged soil, the hewers OF
rough wood, and the drawers of swamp
water. Where one man leaves the farm
and attains success, probably ten fall
by the wayside, but perhaps those who
fail would never make successful farm
ers. OF course there are young men
who should never leave the farm only
