THE FAR N ER BOY.

The tendency upon the part of farmers' boys is to leave the farm and drift into our villages and cities. This condition prevails over a large part of the east and is rapidly becoming a serious problem. A large part of the young men in the East are averse to farming and cannot be in duced to engage in it. Students in our colleges and universities, whose homes are on the farms, do not desire to spend vacations there nor are they willing to hire to other farmers. They will engage in canvassing for the sale of books, stero- soopic views. etc. They will serve as clerks in stores or walters at summer resorts or in some other business and fre- quently at much smaller wages than could be secured on the farm.
 Graduates as rule, never return to the farm home. They enter some pro fession, even when it is difficult to se- cure \ good position and with the fact before them that but a small number of those who enter the various professions really succeed. With many young men the motto is anywhere except upon the farm" And what are the results2 Our country is overrun with trifling agents, the professions are crowded with young men who fail and farms are abandoned
 Especially in parts of New England are seen deserted farms, the buildings falling into decay, the stone walls tumb- ling down and the once fertile fields growing up to bushes. On these farms, fathers and mothers once lived happily and prosperously, reared their families and have lain down to sleep and to-day, not one of the family is left in the com munity to till the farm nor to look after the decaying old home that was so dear to father and mother. And where are those who should have such deep in- terest in these old homesteads? Gone to some village or city and, in many cases, are barely earning living.
 While it is perhaps wise that all boys raised on the farm should not become farmers, yet it is alarming that so many of our farm boys drift into our cities where so very few rise above a meagre living and where their individuality is up completely in the surging mass of wage earners. This question is many rural homes to-day and is the anxious burden upon many parents.

TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED
Make w. II. Camp Prove What Pepsi.
 kola Tablets do for Indigestion.

It stands to reason that W. H. Camp would not come right out in these col umns year after year and ask you to try Pepsikola tablets for indigestion if he were not pretty sure you would receive decided benefit.
 You can see that for yourself
 The remedy fails to cure every case, of course, but he always pays your quarter back. should the tablets fail Co do good.
 Life Is too short for misrepresentation in matters of this kind. and for the small profit W. H. Camp makes on 25 cent package 1t would be mighty poor judg. ment to induce you to make a trip to this store and then sell you something that would disappoint you.
 If troubled with sour stomach, heart burn, wind belching coated tongue, loss of appetite, weakened energy, nervous ness, fullness after eating or other stom- ach trouble. just try Pepsikola tablets on our say so. Our word for it. they will build up your energy, steady your nerves. improve your appetite. enrich your blood and put new life in your stomach as sure as this world.

MAIL ORDER HOUSES

That the mail order business is an en- emy of the small town is pretty well un- derstood by those who have studied the conditions and are familiar with the ex- tensive trade carried on in this way. By shrewd advertising and by offering low prices on certain lines of standard goods, the catalogue houses secure a wide patronage, their great argument being their claim to be able to do busi- ness more economically than the local dealer. It is doubtful if this is true, and it is pretty certain that in the long run the patron of the mail order house will find he is not so well off as if he had purchased at home. The home mer- chant has reputation to sustain and must stand back of the goods he sells to his customers. On the other hand the patron of the mail order house in a dis tant city must depend on cleverly worded advertisements and often mis. leading statements in catalogues or let. tors. If the goods fall below the claims tl6u It lS uCAe JO eN obtain redress. They get the money i'll advance, and having no local reputation to sustain, can easily make 1t difficult ol impossible for the dissatisfied customer to get his claim adjusted. Cases of thi: kind are frequent but there are alway: plenty of new customers ready to try their luck. The welfare of a town de bends to large extent upon the pros perity of its merchants. Every dolla spent at home helps the town in man. ways, but no share of the dollar sent t the mail order house does anything to ward the growth or prosperity of the hom town. The simple, honest statement o the local merchant in regard to his meI chandise may not sound as alluring a the glittering promises of some far-oi catalogue house. but the prospective pun chaser stands better chance of gettin
 his moneys worth at home.

Previous to the recent election, the politicians in certain parts of New York state entered into compact not to use money in behalf of the candidates. And on election day they encountered some surprises. They found that there were many men who, when they found that there was no vote buying, returned home without casting their ballots. They simply would not vote unless paid for so doing. Apparently they regard their right of franchise as a commodity to be sold in the same manner as a farmer would dispose of his hay, a butcher of his beef or a man of his labor A sad commentary, sure, on the condi- ton of affairs in the political world.
