SAYS SEND BOYS TO FARM.
Lawrence Man Urges @. of c. to Keep
Them from UncsscntiaI Trades.


Declaring that the youth of the land
must be starved" from unessential
industries offering exceptionally high
pay and turned into the channels of
production. Dr.. VIM. a. McKeever, of
Lawrence. told the industrial commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce to-
day.
1.-THE necessity of sending high
school youths to spend the summer va
cation on the farm is little less urgent
today than it was during the rush OF
the war" McKeever said. The food
and the scarcity of farm help was per-
haps never greater during the century
than it is today. Therefore, l appeal
to the Chamber of Commerce to APP
peal to parents, school officials, and
others concerned to send the largest
possible quota of their high school
youths out for the summer TO the food
producing industries.
do not permit your half grown son
to seek an easy place in the shade,
MeKeever asserted, "a soft snap in
doors, where there is good pay and
little to do. He and you should both
be ashamed of such retardation of his
strength and such under-develQpment
of his integrity. Keep him away from
