Widening THE FIELD
MAKING GREATER OPPORTUNITY
FOR SONS OF FARMERS.
BUILDING UP THE HOME TOWN
Soma Causes for Complaint Which
Can Be obIiterated by the
United Efforts Of tho
People.

How often do we hear 1t said that
the young man aas not the opportun-
ity that the young man Of score Of
years ago had. How great is the COM
plant OF trusts and combinations
which control industries to the detri-
ment OF the smaller ones in business,
and how often is reference made to
business concentration In the large
cities at the cost OF the smaller
towns.
Innovations In business methods
have been many. 1t may be said that
this Is an era OF economical methods;
that evolution is going on continually
broadening the field for individual
enort and making possible the opera
ton OF mammoth enterprises. There
can be no doubt as to the detrimental
effects upon small towns OF this busi-
ness concentration In the larger cities.
Pessimlsts deplore the lack OF oppor-
tunIty for the young men OF to-day.
AT the same time the large corpora
tions put forth the cry that there Ia a
scarcity of tho right kind OF material
for important places of trust. How
ever this may be. there is one thing
evident. and that is. small towns being
kept from advancing narrows the
field for the young men who would
otherwise enjoy an opportunity to en-
gage in business.
Travelling to the large city for en-
ployment. the youth, perhaps. seeks
clerkship at moderate wages. There
are thousands OF others that he must
compete with in the race for success.
His field Is narrowed. 1t Is not often
that he has fair competition. and IA
voritism he finds is one OF the obstruc-
tioas in his way. One of the cures
for this condition Is to devise means
OF enlarging the scope and Importance
OF the socalled country towns.
There is no economical reason why
the large city should have the bust
ness that rightfully belongs to the
small town. There Is no saving in
buying goods ut distant point even
though small percentage may be
saved directly. Whenever n resident
OF a community sends his money to
some other community for the neces-
stiles that he requires. he robs his
own home town OF a certain amount
OF business. Employment is given to
the people of the large city instead of
the people OF the local community.
1t has been estimated that more
than SO per cent. of the trade goes
from come communities to larger
cities. II this trade were given to the
home town. 1t would Immediately dou-
BILE its business Importance and give a
corresponding Increase in employment
for the people. This means that the
population of the town would be in
creased and the opportunity for en-
gagng in business would be greater.
Not only this, but it is an established
principle that values of farm landA to
great extent are dependent upon the
activity of the town near which the
farms may be located. Thus 1t is
plain that If the sons of farmers
would have greater opportunities open
to them for engaging in business, 1t
can be increased by closely adhering
to the home trade and home protec-
ton principle, which widens the local
field for individual effort in a business
The Ordway new era., 1907-08-02

Small towns usually contain but few
expensive residences. 1t matters little
how inexpensively built residences are
If the buildings are kept well painted
and the yards neat and clean. This
is evidence of the good taste of the
people.
In many towns in country districts
there are hitching posts placed here
and there before the stores. 1t is gen
orally the case that where the hitch
ing post is found unless the street Is
well paved, there is mud hole.
Every town that is Incorporated
should have regulations as to the
placing of hitching posts indiscrimin-
ately In the streets. There should be
set aside some side street that Is con-
yenient to the business portion of the
town, where the farmers and others
can hitch their teams instead of in
front of the stores.
Good sidewalks give the strangers
to a town a favorable impression OF
the place, and also they are an advan-
tage in many ways and may prove
matter Of economy through the pre-
yention of accidents that might give
cause for damage against the town
corporation.
Nearly every small town has its
public park. It is often noticed that
these parks are little cared for. They
are public pastures and serve NO good
purpose - places where the people
Of the town can meet evenings for
social intsrccufse. People Of towns

HELPS FOR TOWN BUILDERS.

Strangers to town form their
opinions as to its people by the ap-
pearance OF the business places and
the residences. In town where the
buildings are dingy and dirty, and the
show windows of the stores are care
lessly arranged, it is evidence that
there is lack of enterprise. 1t pays
the business men of a town to be care
full as to the exterior appearances OF
their places of business.

 As reason for his famous decision he gave that when man married a woman he thereby conferred upon her a right to search his pockets in quest of change.

MARKET MAKES
 LARGE GAINS
New York Market Goes Up on Exten- sive Buying by Bankers-No Copper Sold Under 25A Gents in this Coun- try-All Coppers Strong.
(BV |. N, kinseV)

GLOBE, April 5.-Hutton X Co. of New York say: Bullish opinions ear. ried on today on an extensive scale by bankers and heavy gains were made throughout the active stocks. It really seems unnecessary to explain cause of advance, as the only factor was the concerted buying of bankers which raised values. Conditions at Washing. ton were ignored as being without mo. meut.
 Paine of Boston Soys Our market today was somewhat slow in respond ing to the advance in the New York market, but gains were made in prin- ripal stocks, such as Copper Range, North Butte, Osceola. Old Dominion. etc. SpeculatOrs in the London metal market have turned and good advances will be made from day to day and looks as if recent raid was bear manip- uIation. We hear of no important sales uf copper being made in this country under 25A cents. Money is getting easier and higher level will be reached uu all better class of stocks. Do. not look for any reaction of any eonse- quence. Amalgamated and Anaconda act as if some party was working up 90 good short interest in them and they may be made to cover several points higher.

A $10 Bill in a Mail Box

An Indianapolis letter carrier recent ly found a crisp $l0 bill in one of the mail boxes on his route. There was no scrap of writing or anything to indi cate why it had been deposited there The carrier turned the bill over to Post. master Bennett, who wrote to the de- partment at Washington to ascertain what disposition should be made of it. The first assistant to the postmaster general answered that there was no rule to cover such d singular case, and that the finder would have to be gov erned by the same laws that govern the return of articles or things of value found anywhere else. This means that the letter carrier will keep the money unless claimant appears and identifies the bill.
 Postoffice officials are perplexed in wondering why any person should de- posit bank note in a mail box. Odd articles are often found in the boxes, but it is seldom that a thing of real value is covered.-Indianapo News

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

We are frequently asked by
eastern readers of the JOURNAL
questions concerning irrigation
bitches, reservoirs, etc.
A reply to a subscriber at Cha
mute. Kansas, through the paper
may be of interest to others.
The Farmers Irrigation COM
pany Is composed of the men who
own lands under the Farmers
Union Ditch Co. This ditch is al
ready completed-the main canal,
with its three branches or laterals,
is about 90 miles IN length and
covers a vast territory but in dry
seasons has not sufficient water to
supply the demand when the river
gets low. To meet this require
ment 1t Is proposed to store water
IN the mountains at the head of
the Rio Grande by means of dam
and thus conserve the water that
runs to waste in the early spring.
Heretofore the general govern
ment has stood in the way of build
ing reservoirs but now the way 10
open and it is the purpose of the
company to get to work at once
for the construction of a reservoir
of sufficient capacity to meet all
demands.
The Rio Grande and Monte Vista
canals. which have been promoted
by the Travellers Insurance COM
pany, under the managem ent Of
F. G. Cloudy. extend northeast and
southeast fully fifty miles. This
company hss located the SAINTS
Maria reservoir site and have
ample means to construct the same
and will pr obably proceed at once
with Its construction.
The water stored IN these reser
voirs will be let into the river and
taken down to the annals when
needed for irrigation.

and other smaller bitches arc large.
