The train rule and mechanical

the past four or five years on this

to be classed as one of the very

This action simply means that

Fitting Young Men for Raft
way Service


Young Mems Business Club.
Mansfield, Missouri, Tuesday,
March 3, 1914, s o'clock p. NJ,
subject: Fitting Young Men for
Railway Service.
Mr.. Toastma>tlr, Members OF
the Young Mems Business Club,
ladies' and gentlemen, | want to
thank you for your invitation to
attend this banquet, and assure
You that | sincerely appreciate
being with you and want to com
p'iment you on tho progress made
by the Young Mems Business
Club, of which | have the honor
to be IA member. My subject t..
night is one that | feel sure will
be interesting to all of you-that
of, Fitting Young Men for Rail
way Service.
During the past six years that
| have been on this division the
last two years of which | have
been Superintendent, / have not
hired but two conductors, and
they were used but temporarily
during the coal rush several
years ago; all of the rest of the
men have been made and promo.
ted ON this division. 1t has al
ways been my policy to select
young men along the division, ed
ucate them by frequently con.
Quoting schools at various points
on the division, with tie view of
thoroughly familiarizing these
men with train rules, mechanical
work, fuel economy and other
important subjects.
The management of this rail
road is behind this movement,
and anxious to make still farther
strides in the.direction of using
our own home boys in the vari-
Gus position in railway service.
| am especially interested in
boys and young men, and always
hive been. As a general propo
sition, boys do not receive the
consideration that is justly due
them. In a great many cases a
boy does not receive the proper
consideration even from his own
father. What | mean by this is
that in too many cases Il boy
grows up to manhood and never
becomes the close friend and
partner to his father that he
should.
You gentlemen present and
members of the club, profession.
al and business men, did you ev-
err call a young man or boy into
your office, that you had noticed
endeavoring to make good in his
own true way, and talk with him
as a friend or big brother and
offer him advice or encourage
ment: If you have never done
this, you have neglected a duty
that you owe to the boys. Can
you remember the time when
you were a boy, that some man
ever did this for you? The cases
are rare, but if it did occur to
you at any time in your boyhood
days, you remember that man as
long as you live.
Do not miss an opportunity to
assist your boy friends by giving
them good advice, and especially
words of encouragement. He
will appreciate it, and you, by
your experience, are in a position
to caution him and advise him in
many ways pa PARTICULARLY with ref
erence to character building,
keeping out of bad company,
caution him against the drink
habit. the gambling habit-.you
will have considerable influence
in this direction, and you have a
right to use it and should do so.
While you are assisting the boys
in this manner, you are assisting
to fit him for not only railway
positions, but positions with 9th
er corporations, business and

A CENTURY AGO.

One hundred years ago Paris made
its last gallant defense against the
allies. The engagement is known to
history as the Battle of the Barriers.
and was fought for the most part in
the outskirts of the city. The little
army entrusted with the defense of
the city was heroically aided by the
National Guard, the students of the
military schools and the citizens in
general. A desperate resistance was
made, but the result Of the battle was
a foregone conclusion. The French
were in command of Marshals Nor
tier and Marmont, while Prince
Schwartzenberg, the Prince of Wur-
temberg and Marshal Butcher direct
ed the movements Of the allied
armies. Only after the enemy had
forced themselves almost into the
heart of the city did Marshal Mar
mont agree to capitulate.

three-cornered, slab-sided, long

"rhat the country has been ignor-

breeding proposition is not to be ig-

temptation to let her go is irresist-

ALARMING SHORTAGE IN
NATIONS MEAT SUPPLY
valuation. S395.4S7..

Increase in valuation, 1896, ,4S7,-
600.
The increase indicated is due to
the fact that the estimates show that
the farm value of beef cattle has
increased from s19.07 to S31.13 a
head, or 63.2 per cent, an average
annual increase of over l 3 per cent.
Swine have increased in value from
S9.l7 to $10.4O per head, or 1874 per
cent. Sheep have decreased from an
estimated average farm value of
$4.12 in 1910 to s4.04 in 1914
This increase in the average value
of meat animals, however. does not
necessarily mean that farmers or
stock raisers are making more if any
profit. On the contrary. the cost of
production has probably increased
more rapidly than the increase in the
selling price of live stock
The shortage of meat animals is
probably due to a number of con-
tributing causes. Some of the more
important of these are:
The encroachment of farms upon
the range territory.
The lack of proper range leasing
law, permitting economical manage
ment and utilization of ranges
The shortage in the corn and for
age crop due to the severe drought in
Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma in
1913, which caused the farmers in
those states to dispose of their
meat animals.
The increase in the value of land.
and the increased cost of labor and
stock feed, resulting in greatly in
creased cost of production.
The decline in stockraising on
farms in the east and south because
of poor marketing facilities. result
ing from many local slaughtering es-
Establishments having been driven out
of business by the competition of
the great central slaughtering estab-
lishments of the west and central

The temptation to sell live stock at
the prevailing high prices rather
than to continue to carry them with
high-priced stock feed. possible loss
from disease or accident, and uncer-
tain prices the following year.

JONES CREDITED
WITH $500 FEES

The county commissioners this
morning allowed bill of Charles S.
Jones, county clerk, for $500 as sal
airy for the past year in the capacity
OF clerk to the board. Mr.. Jones will
not receive this money personally,
but it will be credited to the earn
ings of his office.
Since the office returns a healthy
surplus to the county treasury every
year there is no danger that the ar
rangement will mean a loss to the
taxpayers, it is explained.
The practice is common one and
Mr.. Jones feels that it is entirely
justified as it enables him to make
showing in his annual return to
the county. 1t was formerly a reg
ular arrangement but several years
ago was discontinued
The board this morning unani-
mously voted to allow the bill.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
MAKE BEST FARMERS
Government Bureau Finds That
Education and Business
Methods Count.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 5.-Farm-
ers with a high school education
make nearly double the average in
come of those with merely common
school education, and those who
start earliest make the most profits
according to the department of ag-
riculture Investigators. The de-
partment's office of farm manage
ment has been conducting a series of
Investigations in the corn belt, which
have brought out many details that
should be of practical value to all
agriculturists. These results have
just been published in a new bulletin.
Under average conditions the farm
according to this bulletin, is no place
for the weak or for those unable to
direct work. The man who intends
to spend his working life in the
country should start early, for sue
cess is not gained in moment but
by many years OF persistent effort.
1t is true that some farmers have
made small fortunes in a short time,
but this is usually through a phe-
nomenal rise in land values Few
men have become rich from th.l real
profits of the land. Those who have
done SO usually needed lifetime in
which to work. Through skill in
management and by hard labor a
comfortable living and moderate pro-
fits may be expected. Those persons
who are turning to the farm with
the idea of reaping large incomes are
doomed to severe disappointment.
Those making the poorest in
comes were % years of age when
they started farming and were past
80 when they became owners. On
the average the Oldest men are maxi
ing the least profits.
Many farmers with very little
schooling succeed, but these same
men would do better If they had the
opportunity of further training. No
one ever hears a farmer regret that
he spent a part of his early life in
school.
