THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH.

A staff contributor Of q southern
newspaper has taken up the question
OF the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken it for the glitter of tho
city. He says: 1T Is a well known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon its peo-
pie and it's institutions as statesmen.
soldiers, tinanciers-have as rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and 1t is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
! power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
| More especially does it come with re-
doubled responsiveness, greater pow
or and sweeter pleading to the man Of
affairs when the clouds of financial
| unrest begin to darken the sky: when
the cry of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
| tie; when with reason or without
reason there arises before him the
specter Of ruin, grinning in his face
and waving its gaunt arms in threat
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan-
cial furry, which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and very few be-
came insane because Of their losses.
Two Or three took their own lives.
1t is when such times come that the
statesman, the great financier, and
