The "farmer who is not satisfied with the prices, he is obtaining for his pro ducts; who desires an agreeable change of climate, or who is anxious to obtain a home st low cost, should buy a farm in the vicinity of some busy manufactur ing center of the South, where farming products are the highest, the prices of land the lowest, and climate and sur roundings the most agreeable.

Choose a Life Vocation. There comes a time when every growing boy must face the question : What shall I do for a life work? - : It is an important question one that is as important to the parents as to the child. . It is one that must be faced squarely and answered wisely. - Andy yet there are many who shirk and turn way, trying to avoid a di rect answer, leaving the solution to what they - hope will be a happy chance. Then there are sons who have the solution entirely to their parents; and there are parents who leave it all-to the sons. - - Each should consider the matter with diligence and frankness, and come to a determination agreeable to both. . . In considering the problem it will be well to remember several things. In the first place all real success must be founded in the economic principle of becoming a producing member of the great . industrial scheme. There is no room in the world for a drone. Every body must produce some thing. The man who produces what is most needed and most wanted re ceives the largest rewards. As a general rule it is wise to try to produce something of which the supply is scant. In any case, it is prudent to avoid those occupations in which there is always a surplus of the product. For instance, the world is not crying for lawyers, doc tors, preachers or accountants. The so-called prof essions are overcrowded. There is a large surplus stock of legal advice on the market; also medical advice and of book-keeping. .Consequently the rewards are dimin ishing. . .- .; v: .-. ' The kind of man is most plentiful in the market is the one ; who knows no business in particular and wants something in which he can wear good clothes at work. TliA mnn most, in demand and least plentiful is the one who has had ac tual experiences with some occupa tion which soils the hands and the clothes, arid, who, at the same time, has the capacity for planning and di recting. - :j.Py ' A railway manager who has tamp ed the ties and built a trestle; a book publisher who has set type; a lumber dealer who has served as a lumber jack ; a contractor who has "meas ured in" and "checked out," in. a word, the man most in demand and hardest to find is the one who has learned some line of business from the basement to the "front office." The men who want to learn a busi ness from the top down are-plentiful: , - - - ' U ' This is a great industrial era. There are opportunities for all. Ev ery ten Or twenty years the great industrial army must be recruited anew. The time has passed when it was not "respectable" to be anything but a "professional man," Science and learning: have become "the hand maidens of the industrial arts. Selected. Cheerful for a Whole Family. "Such a lovely day!" said mother, brightly. "I half , envied you chil dren your walk to school." Nobody replied. Father was wor ried over a business matter, Fred had failed in' his geometry that morn ing, and Louise came very near hav ing a quarrel with a particular friend. So no one seemed inclined to agree with mother's estimate of the weather. '"- Then the" little woman told how good the baby had been that morn ing. The baby was a topic which usually aroused the family to enthu siasm, but on this occasion it failed. Fred asked his mother to pass the bread, and Louise petitioned for her dessert, as she was in a hurry. Then, mother, who .was making only a pretense of eating her own meal, told of a letter she had re ceived from Aunt Mary that morn ing, and recounted- one item after another in her most entertaining manner. It was during a recital which seemed to her of especial in terest that Louise asked to be excused,-and Fred interrupted her to inquire if she had thought to sew the buttons on his gloves. Mother smil ingly excused her daughter, and as sured her son that she would make the matter of glove buttons first in the order of the afternoon's business. And then' she quite forgot to finish her dinner. - t When they were gone again, the husband to his work, and the chil dren to school, she sat down" and cried. To be cheerful for a whole family is no slight responsibility, and . the one r who bears such a burden alone must needs give way at some time. With our abundant enthusiasm and vivacity and good cheer, why do we so often keep our despondent, silent moods for those we love best, and leave on mother's - shoulders the en tire responsibility for making home life cheerful and haDy ?
