ICEEPING THE YOUNG PEOPLE AT
HOME.
Telfair Enterprise. '
All country people like to hoo tliolr
young folks settle down op the farm, hut
they fail to tnko any stops to accomplish
that result.
.Tho first thing to bo «lonc to keep
them is to give them a chance, from
early childhood, /to have littlo enterprises
of their own. The old-tlmo farmer’s-
.boy had practically nothing ho could
call his own. {Sometimes a calf or other
oninml to which ho became, attached
would be called his. Ho would give
timo and thought to its care. But when
it wns sold his father would pocket tho
money, telling the hoy ho would use it
to buy clothes for him.
Tho hoy felt he was entitled to tho
clothes anyway, ho ho was getting no re
turn for pll tho effort ho had made to
bring up that calf. This tends, to do*
velop a feeling of resontmont in his
mind, and a dislike for rural life. Ho
inukoH up his mind that the first chance
lie gets he will strike out for himself
and go out into tho world whore what
ever he does will count directly and vis
ibly in his own interest.
Tho hoys’ and girls’ clubs formed r.'l
over this country have furnished to a
Inrgo extent u solution of this problem.
Thoy encourage rural families to lot
their children have their own enterprises,
their own gardens and pigs and calves
and other products. A boy who has
these projects of Ids own comes to look,
•at country life in a wholly different way.
He 1h incited to study scientific moth
ode, and he can sec ways by which rural
industries can boconw more profitable.
Ho gctB interested in competing with
other young pcopio.
Instead of dreaming about fabulous
fortunes in some great city he is pon-
*doring how he can make thpt calf of his
.grow faster. Country lifo scorns full of
'hope for him, he gets the rural point of
view, and loses tho restless dcsiro to
'wander. 1
“PERSONAL LIBERTY.”
Hov. Goo. I,. Kind, in Mnyiivlllo Enter-'
prise. .
A young woman was killed. Whiskey
wns responsible. This wns on tho West
ern const. A young woman shot another
one, perhaps fatally, anil thou killed
herself. Whiskey was responsible. This
was on the Eastern coast. And oil be
tween this broad land of ours tragic
wrecks and eternal ruin follows in the
wake of demon rum, and yet—and yet—
Home thoughtless creatures rave about
* ‘ personal liberty. ’ ’
The men who have made their fortunes
and built their palatial residences from
the fears and sorrow and poverty of
drink-crazed men are using much ener
gy and money in their effort to under
mine the prohibition law.
It is pitiful to hear some one repent
ing the silly and heartless’ nonsense,
ignoruncc. Their inconsistency is
amusing, In one breath thoy declare
that tiio prohibition Inw takes away
their personal liberty, and in tho next
breath they will toll you that the law-
doesn’t prohibit. They..find fault with
the low because it undertakes to do too
much, mid then they blame the lnw be
cause it does not work Witli perfect
success,
■When wo vend some thbigsi and hear
some people talk, wc me not surprised
that the asylum for the insane is overt
crowded.
Collegiate Advantages.
Nothing cron live ever yet came out
of a crowd iinlest; ft was put there
first by individuals nnd smaller groups.
It Is friends talking by the fireside
who make history; nnd the choice of
friends Is perhaps the. most• responsi
ble J*b which falls to a student’s lot.
If college life ‘line no other justifica
tion. It Is worth while for the leisure
It gives you to choose those who will
become, you will find, your life’s com
panions.—Prof. A. E. Zlmmern.
Forceps In hand, the young dentist
•Approached his nervous patient.
“You’re sure you’re nn experienced
man?” inquired'the victim, noting tho
-dentist’s youth. “I’m—I’m quite u
• o-ownrd, you know! Hal Hal”
“My dear sir,” nssurod the youth,
‘“in ono minute it will be over. 80!
Ah!. Now then.”
“Yow-howl” roared tho patient,
clnsping Ids hand to his jaw. Thou ho
looked up, to see tho dentist smiling
btiiravolantly at him.
“There!” said the young man.
“That’s out. Ilid It hurt?”
“Hurt I” roared tho patient.
“Hurt!” He made an experimental
tour around Ids gums with Ids tongue.
A terrible discovery wns the result.
“Young man!” ho shrieked, “you’ve
pulled out the wrong one I ”
“1 know,” suiti the dentist, “but
now I can get at the other one more
•easily.”
The Chicago policeman who did not
recognize Mr. Bryan the other day must
have been a Republican.
Cementing Family Ties
Many families living at a distance are
talking to each other regularly one night

cities to talk on

8:30 P. M. and 4:30 A. M. cost 50 to 75 per
cent less than day calls.

not be made at these low rates.
