ment it was caught by the revolving

his home in the rear of Spruce street.
Michael Coleman has been a very

Go TO FARMING
SAYS STUART

Here is an opiniou-a bit of advice
from Governor Stuart to the young
men of the State and nation; Il be
lieve that the farm is one of the great
ert opportunities now presented to
young men. Its success depends upon
application, energy and ability. If
agriculture is pursued in the right
manner, there is just as much oppor-
tunity for man to become prosper
Gus. in proportion to the amount of
capital invested as in almost any 9TH
er vocation. What is required is for a
man 10 study the soil aud know what
he can raise most profitably and, in
addition. to study his immediate COM
munity and it's needs. He must be
more or less of specialists and know
why he raises this crop or that. +"
