until those who dwvH la ' them co

Oar advice to, practically all of
thoc* men la to stay by the farming
gam*. If they really liked farming
before to* war, they certainly should
net move to town at th* present time.
Wo admit that thee* longheaded or
tacky individual* whs sold cot in
1P1> or 1M0 and moved to town are
temporarily much bettor off than
