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

How often do we hear 1t said that
the young man has 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
effort and making possible the opera
tion 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.
Pessimists 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 is a
scarcity Of the 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 a
clerkship at moderate wages. There
are thousands of others that he must
compete with in the race for success.
His field is narrowed. II is not often
that he has fair competition, and ia
voritism he finds Is one Of the obstruc-
tions in his way. One OF the cures
for this condition is to devise means
Of enlarging the scope and importance
OF the so-called country towns.
There is no economical reason why
the large city should have the busi-
ness that rightfully belongs to the
small town. There is no saving in
buying goods at distant point even
though small percentage may be
saved directly. Whenever a resident
Of a community sends his money to
some other community for the neces-
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 some 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
tor the people. This means that the
population Of the town would be in
creased and the opportunity for en-
gaging In business would be greater.
Not only this, but it is an established
principle that values of farm lands to
a great extent are dependent upon the
activity Of the town near which the
farms may be located. Thus it is
plain that IL the sons of farmers
would have greater opportunities open
to them for engaging in business, it
can be increased by closely adhering
to the home trade and home protec-
ton principle. which widens the local
field for individual effort in business

WHAT CHASE REQUESTED
OF MANAGER GRIFFITH
Clever New York First Baseman De.
manded Hose Should be Turned
on Al Orth.

Clarke Grifflth's great first baseman,
the merry King Hal, is kidder of the
18-karat order. He is never at rest,
except possibly when he is asleep.
Being only youngster and, further
more, being endowed with the health
and spirits of the hardy athlete, life
to Hal Chase Is one continual round of
pleasure.
What Hal enjoys more than any
thing else is the playing Of jokes, espe-
cially when these are pulled of at
the expense of his elders.
Now Clarke Griffith, the manager of
the Yankees. is never much Of hui
morist, even when his team is taking
'em in row, but when the New
Yorks are trailing behind, as they
have been doing the present season,
anything in the nature of a joke
comes pretty near to making the dark
browed little chap weep.
Just before the New Yorks left for
their swing around the eastern cities
the last time Clarke was standing up
against the grandstand enveloped in
thoughts of the gloomy kind, when
he was suddenly awakened from his
reverie by the high-pitched voice of
Chase, who, slapping the little man.
ager on the back, excitedly exclaimed:
Look here, Griff, if you don't turn
the hose on AL Orth before the game
begins this afternoon then I'll refuse
to play"
"Will my troubles never cease?"
moaned Griff, as he clutched at the
wire netting for support. What in
the name of all creation do you want
the hose turned on AL Orth for?" he
queried as he looked wildly up in the
face of the first baseman.
Come and I'll show you," grimly
replied Chase. And Griffith, following
young Hal in a dazed sort of way, ar
rived at the home plate, where the
smiling Orth was batting 'em out to
the other fellows. He found that AL
had accidentally put his stockings on
wrong side out.

THE DEMAND FOR TECHNICAL
LY QUALIFIED YOUNG MEN.

To the young men and boys OF
Texas, and especially to those of
Brazos and surrounding counties,
living within the very shadow of
the A. and NJ. College, the follow.
ing article, OH the demand for tech
nically trained young men, taken
from that journal of world wide in
fluence, The Scientific American,
should prove most significant and
suggestive. The demand for A.
and NJ. graduates has borne out
the strong statements made in the
article:
In view of the general impress
sion that the professions are greatly
overcrowded, il is surprising to
learn that some OF the leading rail-
roads of the country are finding
much difficulty in securing proper
ly qualified young men to gil sub.
ordinate positions on the engineer
ing staff. One road in particular
has recently gone so far as to make
the fact known to the public press,
and TO invite communication from
young men who have passed
through technical schools, and pos.
sess the necessary qualifications to
enable them to commence work as
roadmen and chainmen, or do the
simpler instrumental work connect.

ther stated that tlge Remuneration
would be sufficient 10 enable these
men to maintain themselves at once
in decency and comfort, and that
for those who showed aptitude and
application there was a reasonable
expectation of early promotion.
Further evidence of the excellen,
opening afforded by the present in.
dustrial activity is found in the fact
that, in one of the leading techni.
cal colleges of the country, every
member Of the graduating class Of
1906 had secured an appointment
some months before the close Of the
college year. The demand for tech
nically-qualihed men in railroad
work has unquestionably been stim-
ulated by the recognition of the
fact that the increase in the cap
