MONTAGUE, Texas, August 10.—
The Odd Fellows picnic at Montague
Friday and Saturday was a great suc-
cess, and the programs were inter-
esting. There were about twenty in
the company from the Orphans Home,
and they furnished good music, as
well as other amusement. The thing
that impressed the writer more than
anything else was that the girls
were all dressed alike in plain dresses
made of blue gingham, and they look-
ed real nice. And that reminds us
that if our own girls could dress in a
similar way we would have more
money to contribute to the needy of
our land.

GREGG HOWARD,
Missionary-
D K. Martin Drowned.
Special to the Tribune from the
United Service Bureau.
LOS ANGELES, August 8—We
hear a great deal about the tendency
of the younger generation to leave the
farms and ranches for the cities and
metropolitan centers. This is a se-
rious question and one worthy of
thought, but it would seem that in
practically every era the same prob-
lem has confronted the agriculture
and animal husbandry. In the writ-
ings of Abraham Cowley, early in the
seventeenth century, it is pointed out
that, the trend of the young people
was from he rural ditricts to the
cities, and this situation seems to
have continued down through four
hundred years following Cowley's
time.
Cowley was a great believer in ag-
riculture and animal husbandry as
the basis of all things and as he
so aptly put. it: "The innovence of
this life is t'.e thing for which I
commend it; and if husbandmen pre-
serve not that they are much to
blame, for no class is so free from
temptations of iniquity."
In looking back to the time of
the Cowley writings it is observed
that while during each generation the
problem of keeping the younger peo-
ple in the pursuits of agriculture has
arisen, still, during all this time there
has never been a period when there
was not ample personnel available to
carry on agriculture and animal hus-
bandry. No doubt, such a time never
will come, as it is simply a case of
each generation distributing itself
into the walks of life to which each
individual is best fitted.
A great deal has been said of the
trend of population from the city to
the farms and, no doubt, there is such
movement constanty under way. The
selection of an occupation by mem-
bers of families in agriculture is
much the same as that of families in
the metropolitan districts and, of
course, in these selections each indi-
vidual is more or less a law unto
himself That is, the won of a farm-
el' ma., choose a position in a bank in
a city, or the on of a banker in a
city may choose agriculture as his life
work.
The more general agricultural edu-
cation now available in the schools
and colleges has brought about a bet-
ter balance to this situation and Cow-
ley may again be quoted in this con-
nection as stating that he could wish
that one college in each university
were dedicated to agriculture, as well
as those to medicine, engineering, law,
etc. This has come about to a large
extent, and through proper training
has raised the standard of living in
rural communities to an extent which
is much more attractive than the av-
erage cosmopolitan surroundings. Due
to this the tendency of the younger
people is to remain with agriculture
and in a great many instances city
brod people are turning to it and live-
stock husbandry as a profession.
DYE MOUND NEWS
D. K. Martin of Electra, at one time
employed by the Saint Jo Telephone
Company as lineman, was drowned
in a lake near Electra Sunday morn-
ing while wading in deep water to
set a trot line. He got too far out
into the deep water, and having a
minnow bucket and a string of fish
fastened to him, and not being able |

about 80 college students and boy
scouts, and called themselves the

ern and southern States and points in
Canada.
Miss Berry will teach in the public
school here this winter.
Bulliner's Store Burglarized Again-
For the second time in three weeks
the grocery store belonging to Phillip
Bulliner has been burglarized. The
second offense occurred Monday night
of this week, and this time the cash
register was the only thing molested.
The previous robbery occurred the
night of July 27, and at that time
the thieves secured $110.15 in mon-
ey and twenty cartons of cigarettes.
This time they contented themselves
with the money, amounting to only
$28.60.
Evidently entrance was made
through a back window, as a window
pane was found shattered in the rear
end of the building Tuesday morning.
No clue was left except some tracks
in molasses that had been spilled on
the floor the day before and had not
been cleaned up, and which the bur-
glars no doubt were not expecting,
else they would not have stepped in it.
Two sets of tracks were found, one
made with bare feet and the other
with shoes.
Quite a Family Reunion.
Every member of the Saint Jo Bap-
tist church is urgently requested to be
