Give the Boys Better Chances

I win copy here a letter from a young
man who looks at the boys side Of the
question::
Dear Mrs. FELTON,: have never writ
ten to you before. but ! thought 1 would
do so very often, because / am a boy Is
years old. and think I can write some
thing on the boys side Of the subject
THE average farmer acts contemptibly
mean with his boy. He sets himself UP as
a standard and tells his son that he didn't
want so and so. and there is no reason
the boy should want anything different.
II he had to turn out OF bed at o'clock
in the morning and go it until dark, when
he was a boy. why should his son do any
thing else?
IF he went without a decent suit in his
boyhood. had no nice shoes. and no spend
ing money. why should his offspring ex-
pect anything better? He calls such things
extravagances.
ANY farmer who reasons that way has
a selfish motive under IL all. He ought to
know that the boys Of today cannot be
treated like they were 80 years ago. He
will tell his son that his father wore q
hickory shirt. without a collar. when he
went TO meeting, and the boy wants a
white shirt, well starched, with decent
collar and necktie, and to hear him talk
he thinks his son has no right to improve
on former methods.
II ia boy has an earnest desire to be a
printer or harness maker. or a wood en-
graver, no father with common sense
would compel that boy to work at the
trade Of a stone mason.
Then why should a father compel a boy
to stay on the farm when he shows a
decided taste for mechanics or some 9TH
er lucrative occupation?
Should a boy who loves the carpenters
trade be forced to live and work in a
harness shop. who is to blame for the
making Of a botch workman in leather7
A man who might be good architect
ran be turned into a very poor farmer.
He certainly will be a poor cne-hgure IL
out as you may.
Let a farmer seek to discover what
his son leans to and desires to DO, and
Il may he that he will lean to agricul-
turs. II 50 then give him a living
chance with his chosen profession.
Don't expect him TO plod in the same
old way. but AFFORD him some education
in the profession he has chosen.
When we see the efforts and results OF
average farming in this country any
body will agree that their work might
be improved upon.
II a farmer expects his boy to be con-
tented on a farm. he should give him a
small partnership share in the business
and be honest in allowing him to get ii
as a right. and not as a favor.
No boy Is going TO do his best unless
there Is some incentive.
The law says a farmer can work his
hoy until he is Of age. but IL that father
fails 20 interest his son by showing a
liberal spirit toward him. he is surely
going 70 be disappointed in the end.
Should the boys tastes lean to a pro-
fession or trade, the father must argue
the question as q reasonable man should
do.
He should be ashamed TO cucumber the
earth with only another botch farmer. He
has no right TO condemn his son to en-
forced poverty in any such a way.
II he is a wise father he will encour-
age his son TO seek the strong trend Of hiJ
as TO a calling.
Nine times out Of ten, where farmer

the question when the time for the final
vote arrives.

DOG TEAMS TO RACE
FOR $4,000 PURSE

SEATTLE, Oct. 1S-Although a number
of obstacles have been encountered to
Interfere with advance plans for the an
nual sweepstakes dog-team race at Nome
for the coming winter, 1t is the opinion OF
Jake Berger that the dificulties will be
overcome and the next event made an
even more notable sporting event than
that of last year. Mr.. Berger. with a
team Of dogs valued at $4,000, won the
first prize purse and trophy last year.
and with a second team carried away
honors Of the second race. He arrived in
Seattle recently from Nome. He will
spend the winter in Seattle. going north
by the winter overland trail from Valdez
for the dog races.
Mr.. Berger proposes to enter both teams
with which he took big winnings last
year. He says that some changes in the
outfits have been made, but the teams
will be substantially the same He has
had the dogs kept carefully throughout
the year and believes that nothing TO be
assembled from all Alas..a can keep him
from being a winner.
The services of "Scotty" Allen, whose
work as a driver was an important factor
with last seasons races, have been re-
tanned by Mr.. Berger to handle his entries
for the next events.
Prior to the sailing or the steamship
Senator. on which Mr.. Berger came to
Seattle from Nome, a fund OF nearly 5000
had been assembled for the dog races
extending the fund to permit offering
purses and trophies to the amount OF
SIS. eco. The gold and silver trophy that
was a part of the Berger winnings of last
year was brought out from Nome and
will be placed on exhibition in Seattle.

boys prove to be failures, you can set 1t
down TO their own fathers selishness. II
the youth is a hard cara he is gen.
orally following an example in his own
home. The man has likely been too ar
oitrary. He has gone on the idea that
children are to be drudges. He is likely
expected to make money out of his chill
dren as long as he could do so. The
boys tired back and muscles called for
no sympathy. and he expects to harden"
him for good and sure. Many farmers do
not progress in this way. but there are
many who do.
This is one reason why farming has so
many drawbacks. Such disastrous causes
will provoke disastrous results.
Farmers had better wake up to their
own necessities.
Give the boys a chance and spare your
selves some heartaches and much humilia-
ton, farmersi
II your boy feels like he is your part
ner and you do what you promise. he will
stick to the partnership, II he is worth
his salt J. H. J.
