GETTING A START IN LIFE
A business position or job in
some city may, for the time
being,offer more pay than a.
fellow can draw in the corntry.
Quite frequently this advan
tage is illusory, as many of
these positions last only part
of the year. The total income
at the end of the year may be
no more than a fellow could
earn in the country.
The cost of living is always
much higher in cities. Rent.;
are usually twice as much. It
costs two or three times as
much to buy a house. All re
pairs on property cost more.
A person’s business success
depend cn his ability to save
money, acquire a little capi
tal, and get a start in life. The
temptations to spend are more
in the city. If you have a fami
ly ,the children will demand a
great deal more. They have to
keep up with the city styles.
Women must have mere stylish
clothes, so as not, to be outshone
by their friends. Men must wear
more costly clothes, in onb i
to look presentable and up t >
date.
In the country, people are
more sincere and genuine.
There is no disposition for
nisplay. people are not asham
ed to wear old clothes whe 1
they are at work. That leaves
them money to spend f r cro-.>-.l
clothes for their hours of leis
ure, at which times they can
afford to look as well dress d
and up to date as the city foil s.
In every department of liv
ing, you can save money in the
coutrv. That enables the
country folks to acquire finan
cial independence at an ago
when most of the city folks are
still grinding at the old tread
mill. It many times happens
that the country folks are trav
elling around on pleasur ■ trips

while the city folks can’t get
away because they can nev;r
save money to pay railroad
:fare.

RAILROAD RATES
MUST COME DOWN
Immediate reduction of rail
road rates, making it possible!
for traffic to move, is the only
thing which can save the farm
ers of the country from ruin
and the railroads from bank
ruptcy, according to Carl voor
man former assistant secretar, 1
of agriculture.
With rates so high that it
does not pay the farmer to send
his products tc market, with
produce rotting in the field,the
railroads lose the profits that
would result f»om the r trans
portation and the country >’t
large suffers fran the search ;
nf foodstuffs available tor sale
I »\ JUIB i— nan*«c»B-. - -■ ■ r**’■■
This is a vicicns circle which
can only be escaped by cuts
in freight rates.
There is no getting around
this fact. Railroad rates must
come down. At present they
are paralyzing the commerce
of the entire country.
