Stick To The Farm

With winter coming OH, and
the crops safely harvested and
slowed away. many young men
of the firms will be casting
longing eyes toward the great
cities.
They would leave the green
fields aud their pleasures and
seek the glare of the electric
lights and the allurements of
the great white way.
They would taste o. the great
or life.
And therein turks the most
haunting peril that confronts
our country today, for the
nation ia dependent upon the
farmer.
Our population is increasing
by leaps and bounds, and mil
lions of additional mouths must
be fed each year.
From the soil of the farms
must come the produce which
sustains life and body for the
countless thousands who throng
the cities.
And year by year young men
of the country are leaving the
farms to seek their fortunes in
the human bee hives.
And each one who forsakes
the farm reduces the producing
capacity Of the country, al
though our constantly increas-
ing population calls for greater
farm production.
Young men of brains are
needed on the farm. Their
presence there means much to
their country-a thousand times
more than they realize.
The city offers but one chance
in hundred for success, for
every large city is already over
populated, and for every job
worth the having there are
many applicants.
Today, ma we write this article
every city in the country is
grooming under the burden of
it's unemployed, Many hun
dreds of thousands OF people
are without bread aud wholly
dependent upon charity. That
is the condition of the great
cities today-a condition which
should not appeal to any intelli
gent young man from the farm.
The farm offers the young
man life of honor, and of
peace, and.of plenty.
The glare of the electric light
offers him all that he should
not have.
Young men of wisdom should
stick to the farm.

WashingtOn.-The war spirit is
slumbering in congress. Unless there
are unlocked for Mexican develop
ments during the present week, both
senate and house will turn attention
to subjects less spectacular than talk

debate on the bill to repeal the tolls
exemption clause of the Panama canal
act. The house is expected to dispose
Of the naval appropriation bill, pro-
vide in it for two battleships as the
administration has requested, pass the

ably will call forth more oratorical
display, for the senate is divided ON
the question.

trust bill during the week, the senate
interstate commerce committee will
not report the drastic bill on the same
subject drafted by a subcommittee,
