Stay on the Farm and be Your Own
Boss.

There is one thing we should like
to urge very strongly in this issue,
Mr.. Farmer Boy, and that is that
you stay on the farm where you can
be your own boss, instead of going
off to the city to be somebody's hired
man-that is, unless you have some
special marked and definite talent
for some particulr work.
1t is true, of course, that the farm
err does not now get all the profit he
ought to get-nor all he is going to
get-but it is also true that the work
ingman in the country fares better
than the workingman in town. Read
all you can, study all you can, and
prepare yourself to be good farmer
"a genuinely wide-awake, progress
sive farmer and you will nine chances
out of ten, fare better than if you
should go to town.
AS we see it, the farmers day is
coming. The thought or the world is
| turned as never before to building up
the country. The Government itself,
which was once interested in protect
ing manufactures, developing manu-
features, and building up the towns,
is beginning to see that the source of
all prosperity is the farm. But the
one best sign is that the farmers
themselves are getting aroused and
| studying their privileges and rights.
Already the awakening and organiza-
ton of the farmers have resulted in
untold good, and you ought to re-
solve now that there shall be farm
ers' organization in your neighborhood
as long as you live. If you are over
16 years old, join the Farmers Union
or whatever other organization is near
you, and take an active part in it.
Speak to your father about it.
Another thing which insures better
times for the Southern farmer is this:
For u hundred years until very recent
ly we have had to compete with cheap
land farmers in the West. That is to
say, any farmer could go out West
and stake out homestead" and sell
his crops without allowance for land
values because his land cost him no
| thing, or practically nothing. But
that condition has long since ceased.
The cheap lands of the West are gone
and now when the Western farmer
sells his crops he must add SIS to $40
per acre as an allowance for rent or
for interest on land values. And be-
cause of this fact crops simply can't
be sold as cheaply as formerly.
Then, too, city populations have in
creased faster than country popula-
lions the whole world over, and it is
becoming more and more difficult for
the city people to get enough meats
and food stuffs. There are several
million more people in the United
States than there were five years ago,
/ while there are several million fewer
meat animals. This is an indication
that farm products must go higher,
especially livestock.
One of the greatest of the worlds
students of rural problems declared
recently that in the future labor on
the farm is going to be better paid
than labor in the towns, and we be-
lieve he is right. Stick to the farm!-

Nations do not prepare or war un-

THOUGHT IT FART OF GAME
Horse, Accustomed to Being Used In
Motion Picture Film, Didn't Rec.
ognize Real Thing.

A bank robber, who recently looted
the First Bank of San Anselmo. CAL,
made his getaway on horseback, and
the strange behavior of the animal
puzzled the citizens who saw the
escape. When the horse, waiting
near the bank, saw the robber throw
himself into the saddle and felt the
prick Of the spurs he started off at
a leisurely canter. When the spurs
were applied again the horse looked
around at the rider in a hurt and
rather jnquiring way. Then came
the shouts Of the aroused towns
people, and the horse broke into a
real cantcr. Shortly a pistol popped
and the canter became a gallop. The
first shot was followed by a fusilIade
from reYoIyers, rifles and shotguns,
whereat the horse laid back his ears,
humpcd himself and was soon lost
in the distance. The pursuers, ac-
cording to the account, found the
horse quietly nibbling twigs at the
edge Of a thicket and looking ex-
peciantly at the bushes for the reap
pcarancc Of his rider. Persons in
the crowd then recognized the horse
as a well-known steod that had been
used in the preparation Of notion
picture films i which it was his
part to bear away the OUTLAW escap-
ing from the sherifr's posse. 1t was
c~onjcctured that when the bank rob-
Der stole the horse he acquired either
by accident or by design the trained
motion-picture steod and that the
nag when oyertaken was waiting at
the thicket to be taken back for /
repetition Of the performance in or,
der to insure getting a good film.
