White Light* of City Lose Thelt Attraction After a Trial. About 10 days ago three boys became tired of life in the small town and bo started to Buchanan, Mich., to get work In the factories. Two of the boys have already etarted a worthy movement and are now back home, working on farms. Paul Collins is working near Pleasant Ridge on the farm of George Parkinson, and “Bud” Eldridge ie working for his father. The boys say that work was plentiful and the wages, good, but they were put on a night shift and found It Impossible to secure moms where It was possible to sleep In the day-time. Ray Yeoman, the third boy, was more successful, having secured a room at a relative’s where he is well taken care of, eo he is continuing with the factory work. The boys have started a praise-worthy movement of “Back to the farm.”
