Many farmer'e son or daughter is
struggling miserably and hopelessly in
the city as an underpaid and over
worked nobody, who might be enjoy
ing the broader, freer, cleaner, better,
saner life on the old home farm. When

ignorance mislead many young men

there, never mind, lad, of course you
wasn't brought up in barn." "That's
Just it." blubbered the boy, 81 was, and

Want to be man do yon? Well,
you may attain the age of twenty-one
and stature of five feet six and not be
a man. Age and size don't make
real man. Some men, when grown,
are as useless as when they were boys
in fact, a worthless boy is usually
worthless when he grows up to mans
size. The real man grows up from a
manly boy. The habits he forms in
youth stay with him. Now is the time
to make yourself what you hope to be
in after life. 1t will be too late when
you are grown.-Ex.
Just let your subscription go. It's
only a small sum-the publisher
doesn't need it. If he asks you for it
get as hopping mad as you can and
tell him to stop your paper you never
read it anyhow. Go home and borrow
your neighbours. When the reporter
calls always be busy. Make him feel
as if he was intruding. When the ad-
vertising or job man calls, say you
don't need to advertise-everybo
knows you; that you will get along
without printed stationery-it's too ex-
pensive; that business is slack and you
must economic. Never drop in to see
the editor unless you want a compli-
mentary notice or lengthy obituary
for bereaved relative. Never recon-
mend the paper to anyone; when you
speak of it say, ''Yes, we have a little
sheet.,' Keep it mp year or two and
you will have a dead newspaper, a
dead set of merchants and dead
town. Exchange.
