BOYS ON THE FARM.

To the boys on the farm I would
like to give a few words of advice.
Bows do not be in hurry to leave the
farm. 1t has been your home and your
shelter since you We're born. 1t has
been tho safe retreat for you, from the
worlds evil temptations. 1t has stood
as a guard Of honor around you all
Your lives. 1t finds you standing on
the threshold OF manhood, pure in
}thought. pure in physical strength,
brave, gennroue and true, / finds you
an honor TO your father and mother,
both Of whom have mad their many
hours OF toll and self-stcritice al
though you have trudged along man
fully by their side, and have never
heard aSmurmur of complaint. Theirs
has been II labor OF love. yet there has
been many anxious moments: yes, days
and nights, that they have planned to
keep you bensath the home roof.
That year OF the drouth when there
was but little of anything raised, they
pondered it over in their minds, hours
and hours, when you were carefully
tucked away in your beds sleeping the
sleep of innocent boyhood safe III the
retreat OF the farm with father and
mother Meanwhile they We're plann-
ing TO see what they could do to keep
John from having to leave home, aud
go 10 the great city, TO get work. Oh,
what /; dread OF tho great city, they
held In their minds! They thought of
Z the many temptations, tho evil influ-
ences that might surround their boy.
John only thought of helping along till
another years crops might come in.
Finally they thought they could see
their way clear, but it had cost them
many sleepless nights and anxious
days. They thought OF several ways
that they could econoniive. You We're
no doubt surprised when you heard
nothing more said about the new over
coat for father, nor the nice black la
dies cloth dress for mother, and Won
#dered why father sold the Hereford
heifer, which you We're SO sure that he
preferred to make those sacrifices to
seeing the vacant chair at the table
So they managed to keep the family
circle unbroken..
Father dislikes to see John leave
home, and mother could not bear the
thought of her dear boy being away
in the great hustling, bustling city.

head would be resting on downy pill

strayed away from the home nest, in
their youth, not knowing that the

If civic leagues, Utah Development
leagues, and numerous similar organ
izations can promote civic betterment,
Utah, ought, very soon, to be almost
perfect. Organization after organiza-
ton is being proposed, and plan after
plan discussed. Ono of the first things
to consider. though, Is the elimination
of the un-American, un-civilized SEN
itiment that is best characterized as
anti-"M ormonism" from all influence
upon public affairs. Utah must be
made American. by the establishment
of perfect toleration. The anh-"Mor-
mon" fight that has been waged in the
interest OF disappointed politicians
must be ended. and il there arc per-
sons who deem it necessary to graft
fy their desire for revenge by continu-
ing course detrimental to all, they
should ut least be relegated to the rear.

too soon dashed to pieces, their hopes
and anticipations and their pent up as
pirations, of all their innocent mag
nations, and desires. They had
thought the farm life was dull unre-
munerative and full of toll, with not
enough amusement. But, dear boys,
1t was not near SO dull as the empty
nothingness left of the storm that
passed over their aching heads In the
city. and was much more remunerative
than the promises they had toIled on
since entering the hum of busy impos-
lures. Now they sit with aching head
and troubled heart They found the
illusions were not what they seemed.
They We're something like an adyer-
tisement which read: "A diamond ring,
warranted first class for only Is cents"
and illustrated with 8. ring with stone
that throws out an oreola the size of a
70 cent piece, when, IL it were really
diamond no larger than q pin-head,
1t could not be bought for Is cents So
there is nothing in it but disappoint-
inent. But the dear old farm, seldom
disappoints you. 1t says, SOW your
grain en- my broad acres and T will
yield you a hich harvest" plant your
flower seeds around your door, and
Will throw flower kisses after YOU as
you go to the fields, and welcome you
with bright cheerful faces as you re-
turn. Give me your care, your loce,
your tender caresscs. and / will re-
ward YOU a. thousand fold. Then there
are the aged father and mother, boys.
They need your kind presence. Do
not hurry away from them. If the
light OF love, in someone's sweet eyes,
lf the clear voice singing to her mate,
thrills your heart to new loves, better
to bring the young mate home. than to
desert father ana mother. Sure you
can still love the old feeble father,
and the white haired mother, love be-
gets love. They have always loved
you. you have always loved them, so
that another's love only increases the
love of all.
And so the farmis the happiest land

the boys will work your share while

But, If any of you, boys, feel sure
that you are naturally endowed with a

that the dear old farm has not robbed
you OF Que jot or title of your abli-
ties, instead 1t will be the means of
