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

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.

SCORE OF MINERS DEAD
Explosion in Mexican Mine Entombs
One Hundred and Fifty Men.
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.
