With a hi eat surplus of farm produce it s<.ems unwise to advocate anything t. at may lead to even further ex- , aimion of the agricultural industry. So let us modernize this slogan, or propaganda catch phrase, or whatever you want to call it. Let us .ay: ‘‘Keep the intelligent boy on the farm.” There has been a great exodus from farm to city during the past lew years. Viewing it in a broad and general way we may call It good. It is bound to mean a reduc- ■ tion in agricultural production with-' m the next few years, ami with surplus eliminated agriculture may, again be placed upon a profitable basis. But unfortunately this movement to the city is draining the country of his best blood. The bright, intelligent. and enterprising boy sees । that it is hard to operate a farm i profitably. He naturally turns to I the city where he feels -that his I energy will be more highly reward- , ! I'd. | “How then,” you may logically jask, “are you going to keep this InI telligent boy on the farm?” . | By convincing him one may ansI wer, that he is needed in the coun- i try, by showing him that agriculture is the most important or all basis industries and that with proper guidance it may again assume its rightful place in the scheme of things. Intelligent business leaders to- , day recognize that a national pros- , perity based upon an impoverished agricultural industry is resting upon a weak foundation. Big business , to remain big requires a good farm I market. When this idea is firmly ’fixed in the minds of all leaders throughout the country then we may expect to see movements under way that will restore to the farmer his just share of the fruits of — I his labor. ■I We can say to that intelligent boy on the farm whom we wish to keep there: “Don’t become impatient, though that may be the prerogative of youth. Don’t feel that j there is no future in farming, j though you may have every reason to feel discouraged at times. Don’t rtart life by chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow over the city, for it is apt to move on , when you arrive there. । "The country needs you. You lean eventually do better by n main- | ing here.” I SPRINGTIME Already there are many signs of i approaching spring, athough offi • cially it is not due to arrive until | March 21. Spring is the season of relncarnal Hon. rejuvenation and radiant life. |it is only to man that January 1 I represents the birth of a new year •.nd the calendar year is an artifli vial structure. With plant life and that of the lower animals the coming of spring is at once the bin n of la new year and new life. H Humanity recognizes and -peaks

of a new year as from January 1, but nevertheless observes it from the first breath of spring. After the departure of the drear and stifling winter and with the coining of refreshing and magnetic spring tnere is new life and new hope created in the breasts of men and women. Spring brings great plans and high resolves which only winter can demolish or deter. It is not sufficient to say that the homing instinct is convenient in the spring. It is natural and not to be gainsaid by man or ’beast. Spring urges the bird to build its nest, the animal to burrow into its motnei earth and mtn to plan his home, but neither bird, beast nor man (knows or asks why. Spring is the one and only irresistible force. THE TSELESS “GOOD CITIZEN’ There is a certain type of man in every community who poses as r i good citizen. He breaks no laws i lives morally pays his honest debts and is never tangled up with ilu ■law in any manner. But he lives oi j himself, by himself and for him ; self exclusively. When the call i issued for volunteers to put keros a community movement and give a boost, he never answers. When calamity has befallen people in certain localities and charity flies to their rescue, he is never one oi their number. When money is needed toi a public enterprise his name is ne er on tin* list. When he sees some neighbor stuck in the mud he detours to avoid him. In fact, if he stood on the shore and saw the ship of state sinking he would never offer to throw out a line. And if all mankind was fashioned from this same kind of chap what would happen? There would be no churches, no hospitals for the sick, no institutions for the unfor tunate, no progress. JBnnc^Fttfs Whenever we hear anything about the great divorce rate in thii country we think it ought to b^ known as the “land of the freed. A Picturesque \ ocabuiary “Papa, what do you call a man who drives a car?” “It all depends upon how close he comes to me.” A Good Time Was Had By All News item in an exchange: “Mrs. Ella Gavin is convalescing at her home here from a visit with relatives in l’axon.” One day a nice, «dd< rly lady came into our office and asked: "How much do you charge for d< ath no tlces?” 15c an Inch,” answered, the clerk. "Oh. dear." she replied. ”1 don’t l>elieve that 1 can afford it My husband was six feet tall.” — Got a I’ull or Maile a Haul First Thug: ’ Yah. 1 ain’t seen old Bill for a long time ” Second Ditto: "What became of him?" । First; "When 1 left him he said dat he was goin’ to get in good wid de cops. Well 1 understand hi got in for five year.-. xlodcwnizeil \ er«.|on i Red Riding Hood: “What big • eyes you’ve got. Grandma’” i Grandmother: "Yes. I’ve just been jto a beauty specialist.” i <heating I’he Homey \tmo-pnei e In a theatrical program we noted: "It is the desire of the manage- : ment to make yo i feel at home, and any discourti -y on the part of any employee will be greatly appre- ' ciated if callee to the attention of , the management.'” You Bet We Can Tell 'Em. A Frenchman of note recently returned to his country from a vj^it in our land and wrote an article on I his impressons of A:m:ic .. Therein he commented upon ti- : absence of class distinction in this country saying that it is almost impossible to distinguish a brick layer from a college professor out of work hours. Now of eouise if he from across the sea knew this country better he could tell easily. If he drives to bls 1 work in an old time Ford, or something closely related thereto, he's a college professor. But if he goes to his work in a handsome new Sedan, he's a brick layer. The Democrat says one of the popular young ladies at Knox w< nt into a drug store for a bath sponge and in asking for it she made the ludicrous mistake o' requesting the clerk to give her a sponge bath. The clerk swooned and has not । acted right since. Elmer Livingstone Smith was a crank. On keeping gas in the gasoline tank, The last thing he did on the night 1 » died. Was to strike a match and lock inside.
