We believe the latter supposition
to be correct. We can see no good
reason why, all things else being
equal, a young man should not sue
coed just as well at home as abroad.
And this suggests another phase of
the question.
Why is it that many communities
have gotten into the habit of seeking
applicants for responsible positions
among the citizens of other commu
mites? This is particularly true in
educational circles. Any man with a
knowledge of school conditions knows
that, go where you will, you will find
the greater number of responsible
positions in any community filled by
people from a distance. Rarely is a
home man found in such a position.
Our young men and young women
grow up, study and secure good edu-
cations, only to scatter out in the

In the first place, the home mar is
well known, and we run no risk of
picking an incompetent or untrust-
worthy man in selecting him as when
we employ a stranger. Who has not
known, for instance in schools, of ma
ny communities torn up and disor-
ganized by incompetent and unreliable
teachers brought from a distance 2.
Such instances are all too numerous,
and in many of these cases it might
all have been so easily avoided had
those responsible for the trouble have
only employed a home man who was
probably anxious for the place and
really in need of it.
If We are loyal to our own commun-
ity we must stick to our home people.
We must see to it that no stranger
fills a position which a home mar is
capable of filling and will accept. This

HOME MEN FOR HOME
POSITIONS.

No other proverb of mans coinage
is SO true as the old saying that "a
prophet is not without honor save in
his W country" But for the life
of US we can see no earthly reason
why he should be without honor in
his own country. Yet, sad to state,
that seems to be almost invariably
the case.
We have puzzled much over this
popularity of mankind. Why can not
a young mar succeed in life just as
well at home as away from home?
Is it really a fact that he cannot, and
has this basic fact of human nature
given rise to the proverb? Or has
the endless repetition of the proverb
worked to create the condition?

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and
that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Circulars
