Stick to the farm, young man!
Horace Greeley long years ago wisely
said-"Go west young man." and his
advice was good, and many people
were made prosperous and happy by
following his teaching. If we could
induce the young men in the country
to "stick to the farm" we would feel
that we had done the world a great
service. The city offers many induce
ments for the boy who is raised on
the farm, and thousands of boys who
go to the city to take up work In the
factories and on street car lines, learn
that they surely cleft home" when
they left the farm. The average
factory worker tolls for years and
only makes bare living for himself
and family, but the farmer boy who
sticks to the farm soon has farm of
his own, where he is sure of good
living and usually saves enough to
keep him in comfort when old age
comes on, 80 we feel justified in say.
ing "stick to the farm, young man."

What is the use of that directoire
or sheath skirt, anyway 1t certainly
is not a device in the direction OF
dress reform. 1t looks to us as if it
is intended for exhibition purposes
only. Some of the county fairs are
buying the privilege Of showing the
skirt and some fairs are sensibly re.
fusing to employ such dubious attrac.
tions. 1t seems thai the thing is only
worn by women who think they have
something attractive to show, and if
they are really anxious to make dis
plays of their personal charms why
not go into the business where they
can do so without the bother of cloth.

Rev. Richard Wallace of the First
Congregational church of Toledo,
severely denounced the Salome dance,
which is now being given at the
theatres, and he declared that mo
woman could take the part of 'Sa-
lone and be decent, and that, there
fore, no Christian should counten-
ance the dancer or witness the
dance" and Rev. Wallace is very cor
rect in his opinion on that subject.
