OF THE DAY
THE FARM BOY AND THE CITY.

The youth OF the rural section is Of
ten lured TO the metropolis by accounts
OF the success attained by some extra.
ordinary MANN medicine. in the law,
in finance. If at the same time the
boy could visualize the thousands who
lead only ordinary lives of hard. WORK,
he would be more satisfied with con-
ditions on the farm.
We do not think ii would be an ex-
aggeration to say that in forsalSing
the farm for the city the boy mafses q
gamble with the odds one hundred TO
one against him.
II he would succeed in any of> the
professions. after his academic course
he must spend four years In college.
II this time were spent studying agri-
culture as scientifically taught these
days, and then scientifically applied, we
do not doubt that where one hundred
boys on the farm would acquire u
competence, live long to enjoy it and
do much for the world only one would
rise above the average in the practice
OF another profession.
II these country-bred. boys should
prepare themselves for farm life as
they would for professional life, and
then apply themselves as studiously TO
their work, the agricultural problems OF
the land would be quickly adjusted.
Farming is just as much science as
is medicine. one trouble is that the
majority Of those who could qualify,
and by so doing mount the pinnacle o.,
success and be a blessing TO the world,
are inclined to leave TO others the till
ing OF the soil and stake their all in
the gamble OF the city.
There is no alternative for the boy
reared in the city II matters not how
great the odds against him may be, he
must cast his lot with those who fight
the battle OF life in the marts OF trade
or In the factory.
The lure OF the city is great, but
yielding OFTEN means the difference be.

POOR MATHILDE.

The fable of the poor little rich
girl has its counterpart in the life
of Mathilde Mccormack, daughter
of American wealth, who is not al
lowed to wed the man of her choice
who happens to be Swiss riding
master
Mathilde, from all accounts, is
just an average American girl, with
the same foolish dreams, the same
desire for happiness and the same
instincts. Hundreds of girls here
in Ardmore could perhaps balance
her in intellect, bearing and con-
duct. Mathilde's vast wealth makes
her a national figure. target for
pitiless publicity. Her actions, be-
cause OF her money are interesting
to mere aymen.
While Mathilde has been battling
the forces of parental objection,
other young girls have gone mer-
rily on, marrying, making homes
and fulfilling their modest destiny
in the world.
All of which leads up to the con-
clusion reached some time back by
DR.. Frank Crane that adjustment
and not possession is the key to
happiness.

ANTI-LYNCHING BILL.

Congress is lighting mantully
over the anti-ynching bill these
days and there are arguments pro
and con thereon. As matter of
fact, there are two sides to the
question.
Lynching as an abstract PROPOSE
ton is repulsive to every civilized
man-and yet there have been times
in the South when swift justice
was real justice. The Ardmoreite
hopes those times are gone for
