What will it mean to farmers to have
only a few large cities at a distance
of 500 to 1000 miles? What are we
going to do with our children who
are demanding even better advan-
tages than we had?
"Those cities we help to build re-
turn no favors; they take our money
but offer no credit in time of need.
If we want high schools, etc., we
must raise the money and build near
our farm homes or send our boys and
girls to the cities at great expense
amidst temptations of which the
farm has no equal.
"Neither am I the only awakening

that come to our homes every week
are a nuisanc ans make it unsafe to
leave the women and children alone

we take these strangers into our
homes, often as one Of the family,
and we are sometimes paid in having
them entice our girls to the city.
"These are some of the facts that
need consideration, and I have decid-
ed that the safest proposition all
around is for the country people tc
look after their own country towns

has had to hire a man to take care Of
your duties.
The trouble is that you had never
really determined, you should have
stopped a moment and said deliber-
ately to yourself, ri am going to clean

have fixed itself in your mind, and
would have had something of the force
of a command. You would have made

It often makes a vast difference
when you do your thinking. Do you
wait until it is time to act. Begin
early, and yet not too early. The best
time o make a resolution for a day is
the night before. If you have a ven
ture ahead of you that requires u
age, if you have a habit that you can
not break, sit down for five minutes
just before going to bed, and solemnly
firmly make up your mind. Try to
believe that you are going to do it,

It is a scientific fact that when you
grapple a resolution in that way be-
fore you go t obed, the mind will
'have it out with" the thing while yor
sleep, and be ready to furnish you al
the necessary will power when thu
time for action comes.
If you are strong on good intentions
but weak on achievement, try thes'
rules. They may appeal simple, bu'

HOW TO KEEP
RESOLUTIONS

If there is one characteristic that
more than anything else makes a boy
weak and inefficient and undermines
his chances of success, it is his ina
bility to carry out what he intended
to do. In the case Of any single plan,
he may not al greatly whether he
executes it or forgets it, but one lapse
Of purpose prepares him for a second,
and a third one starts a habit that
may last him through life. The ques
ton Of how to keep your resolutions is
therefore a very practical one.
There are two well tested rules for
keeping resolutions. The first one is:
Observe that you are not to tell
everybody; the boaster does that, and
he is the last person in the world to
accomplish anything. But select
n person, your father OF your moth
er, your brother or sister. your teacher
or your chum. Go to him andtell him
that you intend to do a certain thing
at a certain hour tomorrow. Use
precisely the same method about any
bad habit that you wish to drop.
You have now acquired a powerful
ally,Cyour confdant's expectations
and when the stated hour comes, you
will march up promptly and do the
thing that you have been waverine
over for weeks. It is as if two per.
sons were working at it, instead Of
one .
The other rule is simple and ever
more effective: make up your mind
after due thought. The reason why
most resolutions fail is because they
never were resolutions in the trut
sense but only vague hopes or desires
You get up in the morning, and thinl
it would be a good thing if aftel
breakfast you should clean the snow
from sidewalk; but while you arr

shouting for you to help build a SNOW
