Why Denuer Pressmen Struck.

little use and has short time to
learn successful farming.
Not only should farm life be
the most independent, most prof
table, most healthy and most
happy of lives, but it is most
free from vicious associations
and its votary has more time for
thought, for his mind is free to
think while he works.
Contentment is rare and val
liable quality, and the boy who
stavs with the farm makes no
mistake.

THE MEAT BOYCOTT.

Much has grown out of the
so-called meat boycott in the last
two weeks.
The whole thing is largely on
the line of making a mountain,
out of mole-hill.
If certain consumers wanted to
do without meat for a month
they had the right to do so.
AS for hurting the meat raiser
or the farmer is concerned, there
was little probability of it's doing
so, inasmuch as the supply is
not equal to the demand, and
when people refrain from eating
meat they must eat so much the
more of other things which the
soil produces. Such move
ment may have the effect of
bringing retail prices to consum-
ers down a notch or two, which
they would stand.
One of the best ways to regu-
late these things, however, is for
more consumers to become pro-
ducers. There are not enough
people on the farms to raise
enough TO feed the armies of
non-producers,
For years the tendency has
been for the boy to quit the farm
for the city or for other occupa-
ton. AS a result farmers sons
have gone to college, come out
doctors, lawyers, clerks, or other
professions, which have been
enormously pictured as less life
of drudgery than the farm. No
greater mistake was ever made.
Life on the farm is the most in
dependent of any, while the
drudgery and confinement are in
no cases greater than the aver
age business or professional ca
reer.
AS a result of the tendency
young men are graduating out
of college to enter overcrowded
fields where poorly paid posi-
tions or starvation are a choice.
Many are forced to take employ
ment which means life of
drudgery for others instead of
themselves. Following this to
the age of As or so years, they
are cast off like the worked
down horse to shift for them
selves or become objects of chari-
ty. Is this as well as the oppor-
tunity the young man has on the
farm, of making his home which
is his and his children's for all
time?
Farming is also the surest and
most profitable of avocations.
The young man on the farm is
useful. He can not only learn
to farm but has in this and future
epochs, every opportunity to be-
come scientific. The cast out,
prematurely old Office man is of

London, April 23.-If he can COW
er 50 miles in the third lap of an at
tempted aeroplane fight from Lon
don to Manchester, Claude G. White
will win the $4,000 prize offered by
the Daily Mail The prize has stood
for four years, and no aeronaut has
yet been able to negotiate the dis
tance.
White, flying a new model Farman
biplane, started from London at $3.50
O'Clock this morning. Two hours
later he descended at Rugby for
breakfast. He reascended and sailed
as far as Littlefeld, III miles, where
he was forced to desc end because of
the intense cold. He was almost ex-
hausted from the rigors of the trip.
He will rest for several hours at
Littlefeld, and then will reascend
and endeavor to complete the jour
ney to Manch ester. The conditions
of the prize offer allow but two de-
scents.
White declared if he had known
how cold it was today he would not
have attempted the flight

If White fails to win the prize to-

open the bill with good bit of non

the performance, with their beauti-
full singing voices and melodious
musical numbers. Their native
dance is given by a pretty Hawaiian
maiden. Libby and Trayer are seen
in a musical comedietta, entitled
"A Dispute in Morocco" which is
good. Woods and Green have a
pleasing act, introducing some
mirth making songs and jokes.

Radie Furman, character coined

good, though her style of fun max

as well and Mr.. William Farnum
does mighty fine work in it. The
author uses one of the modern theo-
