DUR w YOUNG MEN

There are many young men IN this
community who are just approaching
mans estate.
Why do so many of them want to
forsake the farm for a life III some
crowded city,
The answer is simple.
To put it bluntly, a great many
young men see nothing ahead of them
on the farm except such weekly wages
as their fathers allow them. 1t is
not a pleasant outlook for a young fell
low with red blood in his veins.
On the other hand, the employer in
the city offers what appears to them
to be high wages. The employer says
nothing Of the enormous expense Of
living and keeping up appearances.
The glittering life and excitement Of
the city also appeals to the young man
who Graves a change. He has not yet
learned that every glitter and every
thrill has a heavy price that must be
paid.
What is the remedy2 Open up an
immediate future to the young man
on the farm and aid. him to master it,
Encourage him to raise cattle, OF
f., hogs, or sheep, or engage IN some
other profitable business of his W as
a side line. Don't rob him of the
fruits of his extra labors, but let him
keep all that he makes. 1t would not
interfere seriously with his daily la
bors on the farm, but wen if it die
interfere any father could afford tc
do that much for his son.
The day when a young man can be
expected to give up his time for three
meals and the clothes that he wears
has passed. His spirit rebels against il
and he will not long endure it.
We don't want to see our owl
Young men drifting off to the biz
cities. We need their aid in improv
ing our local community life.
But we must make life attractive tc
them if we hope to retain them.

Is your circulation poor? Are you
shy on pep? Are your heartbeats
becoming slow and weak? In New
York an electrician was knocked out
by a sudden shock. His associates
found that there was no pulse and his
heart had ceased to beat. Presumably
he was dead. But instead of rushing
off for doctors they seized clubs and
beat the victim numerically on the
,soles of his feet. The beating re-
stored the circulation and the "dead''
man was soon back at work again,
thankful for the beating he had re-
ccived. Try it out yourself. If your
feet hold out you may live forever.

DON'T BE SUSPICIOUS

If you want to be miserable yourself be suspicious. I
know of no better guarantee for the cultivation of a
disconnected, miserable disposition than the habit of being
suspicious of everything and everybody.
If you want to make other people miserable be suspicious,
suspicious of everyones motives, acts and very thoughts.
You have known people like that, haven't you?
Possibly in your home or business circle you have to deal
with such a type. Then you know how hard it is; how i'll at
ease and unnatural it makes one to have a suspicious person
around. More than that the person with a suspicious nature
is usually the type of person who is ready to listen to, sane
ton and confirm every bit of gossip, idle or malicious. Cos
sip is such a ones mental food. From every angle, ISM it an
unattractive trait, this tendency to be suspicious. If you find
you are developing it to any extent do overcome it, else 1t
will take much joy out of your life and other peoples too.
Better to be fooled once or twice than to be everlastingly
doubling.
For instance, in your business life perhaps you know
what it is to have to deal with a suspicious person. Possibly
your boss is that kind; always suspeeting that you are trying
to dodge and slight your work; or that you are manoeuvering
to get a little extra time off, or else he puts Interior and dou-
BILE meanings on everything you say. A most detrimental
characteristic in an executive and fortunately possessed by
few.
Or perhaps in your home life you are forced to associate
with some one of a suspicious nature. Some one who is al
ways thinking you are talking ~slightingly about them, or
doubling your goodwill and natural f~riendliness. Such sus-
picion is due to super-sensitiveness and egohsm.
Learn your lesson from these suspicious folk and re-
solve to Danish any tendency Of suspicion in your nature.
Unless you do you and those with whom you associate will
be unhappy.

T H OF FAMOUS MEN
THE MOTHER OF ARTHUR BALFoUR
By MARY ADRIAN

One commentator has compared
her with the feminine characters OF
T~hackeray, declaring that "in he1
breadth and narrowness, her absorp-
ton in her family, her simple faith
and ~imprevious sense of duty, she
was like the gentle but spirited chat
elaines of Thackeray.'
She was, however, better educated
and trained than most of Thacke-
rays heroines, and to use a distinct
ly modern locution, much more OF
a person." She saw the spiritual
and intellectual wants of her chill
dren with an unusually fine percep-
ton of what was best for them. In
the ase of her son. especially, she
was wise. She guided his reading
and discussed it with him, thus
bringing them close together. When
she died In her forty-eighth year II
was n of the severest shocks of his
life.

When Furniture Is to Blame

When Furniture Is [ o Blame
Here's a new ground for divorce
proposed by an Englishman. 'Incom-
patibility of furniture" is what he
calls it, and while it has a fippant
sound, it really has elements OF
tragedy in it.
If a husbands psychology leads
him beside the quiet pastures of
Green plush with rose-colored dogs
on the parlor rugs, while his wife's
preference is for neutral grays, null
berries and allied harmonies, there
is not only a house but it furniture
divided against itself.
This "incompatibility of furniture"
thing exists oftener between parents
and children than between husband
and wife.
Mother thinks the black walnut
bedroom suite which she inherited
| from the Old Homestead perfectly
good enough for the guest room,
while Daughter is insistent upon the
Modern Idea of Interior Decoration,
as set forth on Page 45.
More than likely she is intent up
on having the whole place overhaul
