O the young man on the thresh. old of life the Question ot "What shall 1 do with my soli?' comes demanding an answer. During the past fifty years the call of tbo city to the ambitious young man has been Insistent. Today the country Is calling for men with ambition and' energy and faith In its possibilities. To such men It offers un equaled opportunities. The opportunities of the farm aro not limited In slzo or extent.

Frank Wallace, Prop'r. for a business opening finds It on the farm. The farm offers him the oppor tunity to exercise his executive ability by miinaglug broud acres and herds that number In the thousands. If his taste runs to quality rather than quan tity it offers lilm chauccs In the pure bred stock business for the broadest use of bis money ami talents. There Is no occupation more fascinating than the molding of living animals to make them conform to an ideal of perfec tion. There Is opportunity for long continued study of blood lines; there are moutlis aud years of anxious watt ing to see the results of the union of certain families; there are moments of disappointment when nu animal falls to develop as well ns expected. But greatest of all is the Joy of success when the breeder's efforts are crowned with an animal a little nearer perfec tion thau has been produced before. The man who can seo such an animnl march out of n crowded show ring with the purple ribbon without a feel ing that at least in n measure he has achieved success has ambitions that are indeed hard to satisfy. The pure bred business has some pitfalls, but to the man who enters It with good judg ment aud an ambition to succeed It offers financial returns that can be ex ceeded in few other occupations. To the young man starting without capital the farm offers uncqualcd op portunities. The young man with a few friends and a reputation for In dustry and honesty finds tt easy to rent a farm and borrow enough capi tal to equip It. There Is a risk to run, of course. But what is a risk to a young man with strength aud ambi tion? Well considered risks nre essen tial to buccpss in nlmost any line, and to the young farmer they are an incen tive to greater effort Now that prices of farm products have reached a prof itable level paying off the debt is a matter of but n few years. Buying the farm itself is by no means impossible, even In the most fertile sections of the corn belt. Hundreds of farmers arc looking for managers for farms that vary In size and equipment to suit the fancy of any one. This line offers some of the greatest opportunities to the young man without capital. The salaries at first may seem small ns compared with some of those offered In the city. Usu ally they Include board aud Inciden tals, however. There Is n better chance to lay up money on the farm at $50 a mouth than In tho city nt twice that amount, i'or the man who enn "make good" the first year's salary Is hardly an Indication of what is to follow. Most landowners are willing to advance the salary as fast as the manager shows his ability. Better yet. they are willing to Intrust more of the responsibility to his hands and to give him more eutilinl. so that be can achieve greater results In most cases ufter a man bus Miowu what he Is worth It Is easy for lilm to' get a sharo of the net profits In addition to bis salary In many cases It is easy to get in on a pattuershlp basis. Iu either case the manager Is ns Independent as If he owned the farm, and the chances for tlnnnclnl success are nearly as great. The great advantage of a position of this kind or. In fact, of any kind of farm work is that thero are bo many chances to invest money ns fast as It Is made. The nui 11 on the farm has a dozen places to invest every dollar. This In Itself Is a big Incentive to saving, and saving means prosperity for both the Individual aud the nation. The invest ment whl"h offers the greatest returns Is farm lund. Even In those localities where Inud Is now worth considerably more thau $100 nn acre the price limit lii yet far from being reached. There is little chance to lose money on land provided it Is wisely Invested. It Is tbe lack of knowledge of what constitutes a good furm that makes land an un safe investment fur the city man Thero may be some honest laud agents, but unfortunately they have no trademark to distinguish them from the other variety. To buy laud with out seeing It Is a painless way of part lug with bard earned money As lor the promised prollts. they usually Mini their way tn the pockets of the bind agent, leaving the Investor 11 sadder and wiser man Between 1000 and Willi tbe average Increase In the value of the farm lund In the United States wiw .'58 per rent. Between 1000 uud III1U much ol the laud In the western part of the Mlsxl. slppl valley doubled In value. With u system of farming that keeps up the fertility prices will go higher rather than lower. The man who owns a farm has con tinual opportunities to put his money Into better fences, better stock and better buildings, lie has opportunities to Invest In more land nt home or far ther west. From a financial standpoint farming offers opportunities to young men ttint are duplicated in few other callings. Fnrml 4 ns n profession is new, and Its ranks nre still far from full. Tbe young farmer Is not entering an over crowded calling where he must com bine with bis fellows and boost prices unnaturally In order to make a bare living. In agriculture there arc room and opportunity for nil. The country Is throbbing with the vitnllty of n new n wakened life. The password Is ambi tion, and the rewnrd Is success. It Is not the call of money alone that Is turning the ambitious young man to the farm A calling' that can offer no reward but 11 financial one Is scarce ly worthy of the mime. Tho chief cnll of the city has been the call of the dol lar combined with the call of the crowd Better roads nnd n deuser pop ulatlou have enabled the Country to offer n social life which Is superior to that of the city Higher prices and sclent Hie methods have enabled It to duplicate the tlnnnclnl rewards of the city. In addition. It oilers to the young man the opportunity to live the broad est, fullest life of which he Is capable. It offers him a business he can cull hN own nnd nn independence which he could gain In the city only after n life time of toil. The greatest need of most rural communities Just mm is leaders men who can demonstrate on their own farms tho possibilities ot scientific agriculture; men who under stand the possibilities and the need nt a broader community life. The stories of some of the young men who heeded the call of the cotm try nnd gave themselves to the devel opment of their commuulty read like romances A dozeu years or so ago a little Massachusetts community was on tbe downhill road. The nearby cities had sapped It of Its strength aud vig or. Injudicious cropping had taken away much of the fertility of the soil, and the people had lost all ambi tlou nnd were content to let thlny drift from bad to worse About this time n young man. n son of oue of 1 In formers, graduated from an agricul tural college. He received u temptbm offer from the department of agricul ture to take up work at Washington A brother In Iowa wrote him n glow ing invitation to come to tbe fertile lauds of the middle west. He rejected both offers nnd went home. The most optimistic resident would hnve laughed at the Idea of there be ing nny opportunity there. But the young man went to work. He did not lecture to the neighbors or advise them He merely set out to show them what the Impoverished land was ca pable of. He made the old farm pay. and Its dilapidation changed to an air of prosperity. His neighbors gradually began to follow his methods nnd to catch some of his spirit. The commu nity started to go forward instead of backward As soon ns he could spare the time from his farm the young farmer set about reorgnnl.Inu the vil lage school He gnve one corner of BOYS Iff FIGHT WITH POSSE Armed Men Are Now Patrollng Streets of Wisconsin Town. Winter, Wis., Oct. 3. The village of Winter is under martial law as tho re sult of a pitched battle between a posse bended by Sheriff Mike E. Mad den of Sawyer county and two sons or John F. Dietz, In which both of tho Dletr. boys and their sister wore wounded, the latter seriously. Leslie, aged twenty-one; Myrn, aged twenty-two, nnd Clarenco, aged twenty-three, were driving Into Winter from their home at Cameron Dam, when the posse, looking for their father, ordered them to stop. The Dletz boys, it is claimed, opened flro and tho battle ensued. Lesllo escaped to his father's house, but Myra was shot through the hack and Is now un der guard at a hotel, where it Is said she Is seriously wounded. Clnrence is under nrrest here. Both men are charged with attempted murder. It was reported that John B-letz would visit Winter and "shoot up" the village. Sheriff Madden Immedi ately swore In fifty men, who nre pa trolling the streets, armed with re peating rifles. All women have been ordered to remain within doors.

Eagle Pass, Tex., Oct. 3. One hun dred and fifty miners, possibly more, are entombed and believed to be dead tn mine No. 2 nt Palau, Mexico, In the Las Esperanzas mining district, as tbe result of two explosions, presum ably because of an accumulation of gas. The men entombed nre mostly native and Japanese miners, nlthough the number Includes several Amer icans. At the time of tho first explosion the entire night shift, estimated at from 150 to 300 men, were at work. Of these none has reached tho sur face and probably are dead. Tho second explosion occurred short ly after n rescue party, composed largely of Americans, had descended, That they were killed Is thought cer tain. Latest reports place the known dead at seventy-two Only two bodies have thus far been recovered, owing to the presence of poisonous gases.
