The bottom has dropped out of the j price of land, so to speak. But price of everything else has dropped. While people here became discour aged because the price of land has ' j fallen we read of tragedies else-! where because of the slump in the prices of stocks. While the price of everything else is slumping nobody should expect that lands will continue j to advaace in price. t And in this immediate community,'< aid ia this section of the state, the j prices of lands have experienced a j further depression on account of the I advent of the long expected boll wee-j, vii. That not only puts prices of j farms down, but temporarily it will ^ ] help to keep them down. It will pro-;' bably make the recovery slower. But the man who owns land should not forget that the one hundred and ten millions of people in these Unit ed States must be fed, and the feed cdmes f>*om the soil; he should re member that the mules ar*I horses wkich til the soil must be fed, and the cattle on a thousand hills like?' . wise; the sheep which grow the wool ' f?r our clothing must graze upon the 1 land; in fact everything has its,1 source in the ground. Remembering 1 that, no land owner should allow him self to become too pessimistic over the present conditions. Land will cone again; the price will advance ' again. The whole country is now^ in cultivation; there is no wild land to! be taken in. The number of people, who 'must be fed continues to in-' ] crease, making thereby a constantly 1 increasing and more insistent de-' mand for the products of the farms, j We will yet come into our own. So why worry? Sit "stiddy" in the boat, j 1 WHY PEOPLE GO TO COLLEGE j j" J Someone in Boston has been try-1 < i ing to unearth some hidden reason 1; why so many boys and girls are; ] flocking into the colleges. Various!] college and university anthorities i hare been led to give their opinions, j but absolutely nothing new has been j ] developed. College attendance has,: been increasing since the war, but it. i had been increasing rapidly lOng|: before the war. There is just one:! reason for it, and that is the recog-j nition that advanced education brings j various advantages to its possessor, j This is no modern discovery. Cicero's j father could see the truth of it, up ;,i ! his little hill town of Arpinum, and J so he brought his boy down to Romej to be educated, in order to give his! boy a better chance than he himself I had ever had. If every American boy who want-! ed to go to college had seen his way| to do so, there has been no day since j the foundation of Harvard when the J colleges would have been able to ac commodate those who would have j sought entrance. More and more, as| the country grows generally wealth- j ier, and the work of the colleges are} Vfc-nrMiorVifr rilncoi' ir\ tVm maccdt ji larcr- !
