does not prevent him from making
Joke of himself. There is no loglcai
reason for believing that the future
will find mankind any less given 10
the enjoyment of humOr than in the
past. The ancient Greeks and Romans
were Just as learned as the present
educated classes They hughted at
humorous incidents, and sayings
many of which are still doing duty III
our own joke books. A thousand years
hence, the same jokes, in different
dress. will still be as mirth-provoklnS
as ever. HumOr never grows old. A
good joke never dies. As men grow
old they often lose their taste for fun,
Just as their appetites are dulled for
other tidbits of youthful enjoyment.
But there is always a new generation
ready to carry on the laughs and merry
quips.
DR.. Wood once made the humorous
comment that we might yet discover
solemnity, like rheumatism, to be caus-
ed by uric acid and a faulty elimin-
alton of poison from the blood. In
support of this theory, he emphasized
the fact that healthy youth laughs at
anything, while grabbed age grOwls at
everything.
If DR.. Shaw really wishes to do
something worth while for the present
age, he should start a home cores
pondence school course for cut-ups.
Let him encourage the village wags,
and suppress the uninteresting uni
versity wiseacres.

Some writers lament the fact that
boys are leaving the farms, as though
farm boy had not the same right
to choose his vocation in life as other
boys. There would be as much logic
in asserting that the son Of a coal
miner, for instance, should not aspire
to be anything but a coal miner.
OF course, if a farm boy has no
ambition to enter business or a pro-
fessiOn, or is not willing to apply him
self to learning a skilled trade, he had
better stay on the farm. Without edu-
cation he would be worse off in the
town or city than in the country, prob
ably remaining common laborer.
But for the intelligent farm boy who
can secure an education it can not be
denied that the cities offer wider OPP
portunities. In fact, many Of the lead
ers in every field Of endeavOr came
originally from the farm.
While most of the trades and profes-
sions appear to be crowded today,
farming is also overdone, as may be
seen by the unsatisfactory condition
of agriculture More farm products
are raised than can be marketed at
a profit over the cost Of production.
Whenever the demand exceeds the
supply we shall see better prices for
agricultural products and we shall
also see people going back to the farm
But until that time comes the farm
boy should be encouraged to enter any
vocation for which his talents and edu
cation are fitting.
1t may be added that there are ever
now excellent opportunities right OF
the farm for boys and others who will
study and apply modern agricultural
methods But the future holds little
for the indOlent and shiftless, on the
farm or anywhere else.

young men and women. Suppose it
opened up jobs for therI on completion
Of their high school and college courses,
even though the doing of this caused
some inconvenience and expense. Sup
pose the bankers of the town gave
these young men the encouragement Of
a little extra backing. Might it not
turn out in the course of twenty or
thirty years, that this town would
show a remarkable growth?
The size and prosperity of towns
and cities are determined hy a handful
Of men. To find the industry for n
town, first find a man.
As long as there are no restrictions
on the free movement of men and
women to New York we do not think
the big city needs to worry about the
Federal Reserve Bank act. If the city
gets the men it will get the money, too.
Money follows brains, and brains travel
only in human bodies. The problem of
the smaller towns is to keep brains
from concentrating in New York.
Pocahontas star herald., 1925-09-17

We recently read list of three Ar
kansans who have accepted positions
of distinction in the big eastern cities.
Almost every city and town in the
country has its list of natives who
have made high marks in the big cities
New York drains the smaller COM
munities OF their choicest assets. Many
years ago the smaller towns observed
how the money of the country concen-
trated in New York. The Federal Re
serve Bank act was devised to over
come this situation. The smaller com
munities also observed that many of
their citizens purchased goods 10y mail
from houses located in New York and
Chicago So the Buy at Home
movement wns inaugurated.
When a factory proposes to leave a
small town there is CONSERVATION. Or
ganizations are formed to encourage
local industries and to bring i'm new
industries.
But one never hears of any commun-
ity holding a special meeting of its
chamber Of commerce i'm an effort to
prevent a superior young man from
leaving. Bright men and women move
out quietly, unmourned and unrecog-
nized.
They are drawn to the large CEN
ters, where opportunities are open for
brains, initiative and originality. New
York being the largest city naturally
gets the moot and the best Of the lot.

In the history of The Three Strang-
ers," Thomas Hardy describes an old
wessex drinking pot that bore in vel
low letters upon its brown sides the
message, There Is No Fun Until |
Cum"
In every gathering there is-Or Is
lacking-a quickening spirit who leav-
ems the mass of uncomfortable formal
ity, and gives zest to the proceedings.
He is the life of the party, and his
host owes him the sincerest expression
of gratitude
There is also the Wet Blanket whose
very presence depresses. He is the
deaths head at the feast. He can be
neither entertained nor entertaining.
Life to him is no laughing matter.
If there is yet room in our Over-or-
ganized social fabric for another asso-
citation, il might well direct its energies
TO the determination Of gloomers The
crape-hangers should be inoculated
with the germ of joy, and the solemn
sons be given regular treatments Of
laughing gas.
