TOWN LIFE LIKE DRIIDRERV S New Phase of "Stay on the Farm" Argument, Freshened With Town Scenery. Why not encourage the boys to familiarize themselves with town life to some extent? Our word for it, they would soon lose many of their illu sions. Let a boy go among the young men who are filling positions in the town. Impress upon him that these men, instead of living like millionaires, are in reality worse drudges than he. that while he sometimes must work early and late for a very short season, these young men must freniieiitlv lie at their work before he is out of bed ' and must remain there until he is hart- in bed again: and that as to Hi Mis ter of fine clothes. fn-nnrntlO (h. suits he sees on their backs comnrise their entire wardrobe. Let him also learn mat while they frequently han dle much money, very little of it sticks to their fingers except with ugly results to theiuselv Let the boy come to town I t him have a taste of town life and make the acquaintance of town boys. Let him learn, as he is bound to do, that not by any means is all gold that glitters. Thus, with the right surroundings and conditions on the farm, an occasional dose of town life will not hurt him, and he will soon grow to see that his own life is in finitely to be preferred to that of any town boy -of his acquaintance.

Omaha Society HAYDEN TELLS HOW HE WILL 1)0 HIS BIT" Head of Big Local irm Decides to Place Business on a Cash Basis. SETS FORTH HIS REASONS Joseph Hayden of Haydcn Bros. yesterday gave to the press the fol lowing statement: "I presume it is true that at this time a larger number of individuals are seriously considering just how they may render service to America than at any other time in the history I of the country. This is particularly true ot men, who, somewhat ad vanced in years, are above the enlist ment age. I have talked with many-fober-niinded men in Nebraska and during my travels in various sections from NcV York to California and have heard them, in almost a plaintive way. express their anxiety and their doubt lest there be no way in which they might render effective service for their country. I have had this feeling myself. I share with other men a certain degree of emotional patriotism, but in common, I am sure, with most men, I have during the past six months, given more solemn and serious consideration to my duty as an American citizen than ever before. , " 'What can I do with respect to direct and immediate service?' That, naturally is the first question that presented itself to my mind, as it has to the mind of the average citizen. That question has answered itself in the fact that I cannot bear arms at least, not until the necessity of the situation requires men of my age. Nor is it possihe or advisable that I aban don my business. For General Good. ! "Then followed the question, 'What ' can 1 do in the conduct of mv busi ness aim in niy general attitude with ' respect to conditions to make contri- j bution to the general good?" In that ' connection I was much impressed re cently with the statement of a war expert who said, in effect, that war ' was part army and navy, part moral ! force, part economics. Furthermore, he said that every one could render service by becoming constantly and intellectually alert for the opportunity of such service. In that spirit, then, 1 nave sougnt my opportunity and I 1 hope to be ever alert on that line. ! "Conscious of the importance every i large, as well as every small, business institution may have in a systematic I effort for the general good, I have de- j tcrmined that every ordinary business ! consideration shall be placed in the ' background in the efforts to be made 1 by Hayden Brothers to be serviceable I in the organized, systematic and, I may say. scientific effort toward con- ! servation and efficiency. ' "It is an old-time business habit to : encourage the opening of accounts and thi; extension of the credit sys tem. This has been found to he ad vantageous for the very reason that people buy more liberally, and, it might be said, more recklessly, on I credit than they do for cash. For that reason the account or credit system is : accepted by experienced business men ' as a good plan for their business.

I To Abolish Credits. "Following this line of reasoning 1 Hayden Brothers have decided to iin- I mediately abandon the credit system ; in both its wholesale and its retail business, placing all their transactions I upon a purely cash basis. I am well i aware that this will prove, until th readjustment period has been passed, somewhat inconvenient to a very large number of our customers whose patronage we naturally value and hope to retain . Their embarrassment w ill, however, be small compared with tne loss which we are certain to sus tain in the curtailment of purchases which will be-the natural result of the change from the system that en courages buying to the system that prompts every customer to count the money in his hand. "But there will he compensation for all concerned. For obvious reasons there will be reductions in the cost of living, l-or the reason that every sale will be a rash transaction we will he able to sell the goods at a smaller price than we could possibly do through the credit system. It will aitl in the conservation of necessities tor the reason that under the cash plan there will be immediate and auto matic co-operation by the individual in the conservation elfort. It will keep business active for the reason thtit the cash system, while making for economy in purchase, contributes also to business activity through quick transactions and prompt transforma tion of goods into mujjey and money into goods. It will prevent depression for the reason that individuals will soon learn that under the cash sys- iem iney win ne ame lo maintain their standard of living at least to the extent that they need not engage in false economy, which diminishes a wholesome lite-giving food supply. Elimination of Waite. "One writer put it well when he said: 'Patriotic economy means the elimination of waste and extrava gance. It means the conservation of our food products, our natural wealth, our health, our energies, our labor, our very lives. It means putting more efficiency '.n everything we do so that each unit of money, energy and intel ligence may accomplish the utmost. I'atriotie economy does not mean the lowering of America's standard of living, which would make us less effi cient physically and mentally, nation ally and individually, and would kill the spirit and the will to do the truly self-sacrificing things to be done.' "The business of our country was never on better basis than it is todav. There is no danger of panics or izeii- eral business depression, riven under war conditions business will grow and thrive and there need not be one idle man in the country.

"Out of this terrible war men and women are to learn many valuable lessons. Some of these will relate to government, but many of them will relate to economy. Among the most important will be the awakening Responsibility responsibility to so- ...... iiAimiirti utit ci mucin aim even responsibility to the world. These lessons will in their effect be lasting and when the smoke of battle will have cleared away we shall all wonder why we did not, during the years of world-wide peace, think of bringing some of these wholesome re forms into on business and individual lit es. "In one of his addresses President Wilson said: "It is evident to every thinking man that our industries, on the farm, in the shipyards, in the mines, in the factories, must be more prolific aiH more efficient."

More Efficiency. "Through a scientific rearrange ment of business methods and indi vidual practice the greatly to he de sired efficiency, economy and conser vation may be brought about with out th; sacrifice of any necessary comfort on the part of a single indi vidual.

Japanese Emperor Ennobles Animalt That Hauled His Father's Hearse. Japan has established its clailh to be considered up-to-date in every particular, jet the action of its pres ent emperor, Yochi Hito, in bestow ing nobility rank upon the booted oxen which drew . the huge two wheeled hearse containing the dead body of his father, the late mikado, through the streets of Tokio, on the I first stages of the journey to its final i resting place, near Kioto, constituteM, like General Nogi's dramatic harikart at about the Tranie time, one of those touches of the orient which, despite all the wonderful assimilation by the Japanese of western ideas, remind us that "the east is east, and the west rs west, and never the twain shall meet." For there was something just as barbaric in notion of brave and chiv alrous old General Xogi, the hero of Port Arthur, immolating himself in order to escort into the world beyond that sovereign whom heiad served with such touching devotion in life, as there was in bestowing high nobil ity rank upon brute beasts, namely, oxen. For it must be thoroughly under stood that the honors thus conferred by the present ruler of Japan upon these funeral oxen were granted in a spirit oi profound reverence and by a filial desire to honor everybody and everything that had served his father and immediate predecessor on the throne. If had nothing in common with the action of the second marquis of Towushend, who. while viceroy of Ireland, appointed two oi his favorite dogs a numbers of the privy council of the F.merald Isle, duly administer ing to them the oath of office and causing thereafter the words, "Right Honorable," to be prefixed to their respective names, this being a predi cate that belongs to all the members of the privy council of Great Britain and Ireland.
