WAIT FOR THB BIG CITV CALL
In almost erary small city will be found a young man who feeto that be to totterad by taek of opportunity. He looka tar away to the Wg eity with i^ Innging expresslob.'.He ill tiled of tiS Job. He to tired of bib to^n--t)rod ot his every surrounding. He wants to throw up tbe Job and cun away off somewher;^. His ocvasionul vtoita to the big eity have made him long for an opportunity to make it hto home Big things ara being done thefe, and he wanta to get in on •tno doing.
Pirrhfps he has i frtenl In the big city who is getting what seems to hit., iiab a marvelo'jti salary, and the whole situation presents a roseate hue. The youth wants to broaden ont and become one of the big men of trade. But rigbt hera, perhaps, it will not be out of place to stiggeet to this young man that he fint broaden out In his own boma town. The big city Is ali right, but don't seek It-^let It seek you. The call will come when you have shown your worth suffici¬ ently to attract attention.
Many things giiftor in the big dty that are not gold. The purple lace and gold trappings of many a city man bide only discontent. He is straggling against the oppressive rant man and Oeneral High Cost. That portion of tbe naUry received by aa "average" man. In the city, about that raeeived by the same elass ot man in the eoantry. to slnfTed off In additional livlngr ooeta.
While the young man ta the coun¬ try is IhrIng on the best the land af- forda, the city man has to be satia fled with oleo, storage eggs, doctored miik and stale ragetables. There la not a family man in ten who left the small town for the big city without being ealled, wlio would not ratura to the old home town If he could.
The big city suraly will eall you, young man, when you have outgrown the old home town—then you will be In a iKMltion to meet city conditions. Ail the poetry of life Is tound in the smaller communities.
