FARM VS.. TOWN BOYS.

lBuEllnElOIl ld"hSsS'1
It has been frequently pointed out
that the lads from the farm are the
ones who succeed in many lines OF
work in the cities. Also that the lads
from the farm seem to make the best
soldiers OF course, there is reason.
No doubt, the lads in town are just
as ambitious, Just as anxious to get on
in the world az are the boys in the
country. There are exceptions in the
towns worthless loafers who never
amount to anything. and they have the
same kind in the rural regions. But
these are rare exceptions, and 1t is
fair to presume that the lads on the
farm do not desire what Is usually
called success to a greater degree than
the town boys desire it. Nor is the
one kind OF boy more willing TO work
hard to achieve success than is the
other.
Perhaps it all depends upon the bet
ter physical training that the boys on
the farm had Rad had. They car stano
greater exertion, can buckle down to
hard, trying work longer than the town
boys. That is, the town boys who

The Spencer News Herald believes
that the railway trainmen, hazardous
as is their work, ought not to have
to work more than eight hours day.
II is also Of the opinion that the rail-
roads can afford TO pay the c.: :"
wages for eight hours work that
they now pay for nine. and this with
no increase in passenger or freight
tariffs. "Everything else is going up.
Why not cut the time of the work
day down." the News-Herald adds.

gressives are going to vote the demo-
cratic ticket this fall-certainly not
in numbers proportionate to even one
member of a committee of a dozen
members. Consequently. to give a
progressive a place that might be
taken by a deserving democrat Is a
sheer waste OF a job"

the chief Of the fire department TO
have been of incendiary origin

All these fires are surrounded by

Up 20 two weeks aso. while sus-
picion was attached 10 several dis
asters. the thought OF incendiarism
was not generally given serious at
teutiOn. Except m the case of the

at once that both of these frse were
set by an incendiary. Later came
the big FIRE that cost the Valley city

many indications of having been in

cases although the fire marshal
was convinced that official attention

Then came the fire i'm the Ashton

$4,000. And a few days later came
"a second mysterious blaze in the
Ashton building There being no

Right upon the heels Of this came
the third fire at the plant of the I'm
