| THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSONv MARYLAND Saturday, February 23, 1924—Page 3 [ES DRAW THEIR BEST HUMAN MATERIAL PROM 2 FARMS—IN MANY WAYS RURAL SECTIONS BLED fen You Get Right Down To "Brass Tacks" Farming Communi-f ties Are Supporting Big Cities—They Are Feeding Their Millions As The March From The Plow Goes On To Desks. A farmer boy from this section, not yet out of his teens, not a high school graduate, went West about ten days ago to get a job. He began work for a large corporation in Chicago at a salary of about $28 a week. He is not a salesman. He had no previous connection with the company, no "pull," and did not know where he was going to work until he started hunting a job. No so bad—but not so good either, when you take out cost of board, room, clothes, washing and entertainment in Chicago. But he is do better at home, he doesn"t know it, doesn't believe it. And why doesn't he know it? Because his local dealers do not use the advantages at their disposal to' HOG PRICES 16 PER CENT. LOW CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY TO HOLD BENEFIT. The Baltimore County Children's Aid Society has announced a theater benefit at the Auditorium March 3 to see "Welded," one of Eugene O'Neill's new plays. The entertainment is the first Children's Aid benefit of the year and they have asked Mrs. Donald Symington, Mrs. John Ridgely, Jr., Mrs. David G. Mcintosh, Jr., Mr. Douglas Gorman and Mr. E. T. Hambleton as patronesses and patrons. with a big firm and has every chance not do it? tell him. If local business is hit by mail order buying, if you have to give credit while Sears-Roebuck gets cash, the only known remedy is advertising. City bargains can be duplicated or even bettered at home. Many dealers know this; many of their customers don't believe it. As long as it is profitable in so many ways to convince them, why fjor advancement. This boy is strong, clean, intelligent and eager to work hard. He had no trouble landing his job, though he had no technical experience. Another good man gone to swell th already overcrowded population of a metropolis. Another good citizen gone from the farm. Business is good in the cities, and right now it seems there is plenty of opportunity for industrious and clean-bodied youngsters. But here's the rub: The big cities draw their best human material from the farms. They can't really produce the best type of industrious Not a dollar of the money unnecessarily spent away from home will help pay your taxes, build up your town, make your community better, or increase the value of your land. Every dollar you spend at home helps do these things. Live towns, full of live advertis-errs, are holding their business. Good business means growth and prosperity in tl^ small towns, just as it does in the cities. If you keep your town booming outside competition will fail. If young men and women stay on the farm or in the home towns, it will be because of the opportunities they will have. They will not have these manhood, physically or otherwise as a general thing. That's why our' opportunities in the dead burgs best class of farm youngsters can, If you want your customers to pick off the jobs. And that is not read the home town paper instead the only way the big cities bleed the'of a mail order catalog, put some of farm communities. j your own bargains in it. ER THAN YEAR AGO. JASEPH A. SCHMIDT DEAD. , Bay Vie wHospital in an automobile j with his wife and son. Dr. Claude Joseph A. Schmidt, who fell un-: conscious while at work at Woodside G- Drace of the h°spital staff, said Shore, Colgate, died on the way to death was caused by heart disease. Prices of hogs are approximately 16 per cent, lower than they were a year ago. The decline is ascribed to enormous slaughtering for several months. On the other hand, foreign buying has been exceptionally good, presumably because of the low prices, and domestic consumption also has been notably large. CHEVROLET I SALES SERVICE When you get right down to brass tacks, the farm communities are supporting the big cities. They are feeding these millions of people and a whole lot of them are not producers. Many of them are unessential employees who would be better off in every way if they were in the country. These essential employees, non-producers, are taking care of! the business that comes to the cities! from the farms. That is just anothr reason for; spending your money and doing your j business at home—as far as is pos-j? sible. Suppose we let these big:5 cities support themselves for a while, j! Let them depend on their millions of 5 people. We need certain industrial i 5 products of the cities, of course,* I _ but we could produce them closer to |_ the farms if we had to. And we do'-not need a lot of the so-called service!-and business advantages that are -played in page ads in the city papers I . and catalogs de luxe. As we have said before, there is|a nothing unjust about the competi-tition between cities and rural communities. This competition is natural, legal and fair. If rural communities fail to hold their own business and population, it is their own, fault. It might be wise to realize this fact, a wise thing for our home towns as well as for the cities. If the cities continue to pull their business and their workers and their food from the farms, they will soon bleed to death their only means of support. And poverty and starvation can be infinitely more exquisite in a great city than on the farm. Don't blame the man who buys mail order goods. He believes he is getting bargains. Aren't the goods guaranteed to be satisfactory or money refunded? Isn't the price rather low? Isn't he often well satisfied with his purchase? If he J.
