"'You can read Sundays and learn

Why loaf on your friends and talk poll
tics? Better work
My reception by those young men
was not enthusiastic. Some said they
had never worked at hard manual la
Dor; others hated farming, it was so
dull in the country. All sorts of eX-
cuses were given, but not one prompt
ed by good sense and willingness to
do honest, hard work.
Now, that's fine lot of young men
for you! You call them, l suppose, the
Hope of America and all that"
The fact is our cities are crowded
with men, so that there is a surplus In
every department of labor. The coun-
try has been emptied of the Drawn and
muscle that should be given to agrcul-
ture. On a farm man can at least
raise food enough to avoid starvation,
and if he is not able to purchase land
and cannot find occupation in our
cities, there are farmers in nearly all
parts of the country who will be glad
to employ him.

FROM the 1outh'S companion.
An American who had lived in Mexi-
co for twenty years came back to this
country few months ago and visited
the places and people that We're once
familiar to him. His opinion of his
native land, as reported by the Mexican
correspondent of the Boston Herald, is
by no means hattering. There are
mice people" here yet, but he thinks
that the prevailing tendencies in
American life favor extravaganza, pre-
tension, hurry and worry, and along
with the overdriven man we have the
lazy man also.
Just to test this labor question:" the
visitor told the correspondent II went
to plantations in Virginia and to farms
in Ohio, dressed in my old duds, and
asked for work. There was plenty of
it. The planters and farmers We're all
willing to give me $40 month and
good board and a clean bed all the
year round. l reckoned it up that |
could save 500 a year at that rate and
get fat too. | have worked hard in
my time in rough emplOyments, and

lows in Washington, loafing around
the barrooms and in front of the ho-
tells, talking about hard times.
