tho goods that you want to buy for
those Christmas days. Don't forgetj
that every dollar you spend with a
local merchant remains in local cir- f.
culation and enriches the com-,!
munity just that much. Don't forget,
that every dollar you spend outside t
of this town remains outside and de- v
creases the money in local clrcula
tlon Just that much. Don't forget t
that an advertisement of a local d
merchant Is prepared to "make l<
good" or he would not resort to

publicity in soliciting your trade. J <
Don't forgot the good advertiser is i
generally a "live wire," and that It

HON TO THK HOY ()> THE
FA KM. I
The answers to this question arej<
as varied us ttie minds that liave( I
advanced them. Some have merit.;'
Some are doubtful. Some are utter j
nonsense. 11
Th? problem, we believe, could :
be met if fathers of boys en the 1
farms could only be brought to seel
facts as they are. ':
We venture to say that more boys, 1
leave the farm on account of the '
deadly monotony and sameuess of i
the average farmer boy's life than '
from anv other cause. The normal i
boy craves the excitement to be|'
round where humanity herds inj<
crowds. It can't be found on the
farm, hence he must go where it is
:o be found.
And right here is where the averife
farmer father fails from want of
ioresight. He uses every means at s
lis command, even to force, in pre- #
renting the boy from familiarizing
limself with town or city life. The c
rusiness and social life of the town ?
ire cried down as something to be
shunned?the surest way in the t
vorld to make the boy determined a
o plumb them to the depths. The c
toy is held to a monotonous routine
>n the farm until one of two things
isuallv happens. lie either sinks in- I
o a listless, spiritless automation,
ir he revolts and throws off the
hackles altogether.
Why not encourage the bov to *'
amiliarize himself with town life to
ome extent? Our word for it, he
could soon lose many of his illusons.
Let him go among the young 1
p.en who are filling positions in the '
own. Impress upon him that these

At the meeting of the ParentTeacher
