Most Small Towns Lose Their Young
Men; Here is One That Kept Them.

The reason small towns never become
big towns is tied up with the desertlQr
OF the young men who 90 TO the cities e
make this way, Milford, \. H., decided
to put a stop to this, and the November
American Magazine tells how II was
done. The writer says;
"Most communities of less than fifteen
thousand inhabitants suffer Il constant
loss of their best blood in the emigration
of their young people. This is partcu'
larly true OF the older states east OF the
Mississippi. With the exception OF the
favored few whose families have wealth
or own some established enterprise, the
young man and, TO a less extent, the
young women, of the smaller town, after
completing their education seek the larg-
err cities, or newer states, or even foreign
countries. This exodus is looked upon
almost as law OF nature--as inevitable
as the swing of the seasons.
"Thus are our smaller communities
slapped. The educated, enterprising young
men go; the young woman of their type,
left behind, frequently refuse to mate
with the only men available-indeed,
often have no men of any sort to choose.
This situation has formed the basis of
many stories and one of the most popu-
lar plays of the present day.
"But the thriving town of Milford, n.
H., believes that its enterprising and able
young folk do not have to be transplant
ed in order to succeed. 1t declares that
if the individual endowed with ability to
create business in Montana or Mexico
will only exercise the same serious study
of conditions right at home, he will
have an easier path and a surer reward.
A short time ago, the citizens of Milford
decided TO stop the emigration of its
young
LET lis ask all the Milford boys and
girls about to finish school what they
purpose to do suggested P. R. Woodman,
of the Milford board of trade, and let us
counsel with them to see if they cannot
do it, or something equally as adyan-
tageouss here in Milford"

Round Halloween I'm scared to death
For spooky things I'm sure to see.
No matter where turn to go,
They all seem grinning hard at me.
There in shop cross the way
A witch in tall and peaked hat,
And just beneath her, in a rage,
There stands black and snarly cat
With back arched high up in the air,
As if about to spring.
Your surely know by things you see
It's nearing Halloween.
