THE RoY VINO MovH
"a came 10 the city Go

Yesterday there was young Nd -
laid BY his crop for the summer nSeame to the city to
get situation He not particular what he got to do
just so It was job in town. lie was husky youth Of
twenty strong good looking with the tan OF health and
the strength Of perfect condition lie has made good
crop 1t is the first one all of his own.
lie has lived care-free life for twenty years
But he wants job in town Just why he conld not

and wear good clothes That or something equally lilo
gca is no doubt the reason For he is type Of hun.
dreds OF young fellows all the country who each
year try to catch onto precarous hold in the city.
He Is anxious to exchange the free and profitable life
of the farm for the treadmi Of tile hired in town
He cannot foresee that he is to become the petty slave
of tyrannlca employers aud tyrannca trades un-
ions He cannot understand that the tnse of the town
is worth less than one day of the freedom Of the country
He is not aware that the problem of life is open book
to the man on an Oklahoma farm and deep intricate
problem, we.nigh unsolyed to the hired man in the
city And the pity of the propositions is that he will
never know the mistake until 1t has become too late for
him to remedy t.
Tie opportunity OF the farm Is not going TO remain
open to him after he has abandoned 1t for the chance
that the city offers grudgingly and with the reservation
that il will be withdrawn II the farmer does not keep up
the present high standard OF business prosperity And
when the shops close because OF hard times there will be
no other ded to fall back upon like there is on the farm
And when strike is called by the walking delegate
there will be no other horse the pasture to put in the
harness and earn the daily bread.
Ii is idle TO discuss why the strong manly youth OF
the farm snves the aensmc chap OF the streets 1t

ever to the Of population, and the golden oppor
