HOLD UP YOUR HEAD LIKE
AuAN

Well, what if you are in trouble. nv
friend,
Or have debts which you cannot repay
AS soon as you wish? All streams have
an end,
And each night is succeeded by day.
Don't you know that repining will not
help your case?
lobe cheerful's the far better plan:
To be steadfast and firm, wearing a
smiling face,
And hold up your head like man.
Midst the turmoil of life we are prone to
Our lot, should we make mistake:
But jog along easy and never say fail,
And you'll conquer what you under
take.
There's much to encourage a resolute
heart,
For your friends all your actions will
scan,
And will help and assist you in doing
your part
If you hold up your head like man.
So, whistle and sing, drive dull care
away,
And you surely will never regret
That you tried to be thankful, contepted
and gay,
And fortune may smile On you yet.
Your burdens are surely never so great
But your Father will Tighten the ban
Under which your labor in sorrowlng
strait
If you hold up your head like man.

OF THE FUTURE.
WHAT MR.. RUsK THINKS.
(Atlanta Constitution;

ATLANTA Constitutions
Secretary Rask, of the depart
menG of agriculture, takes hopeful
view of the southern agricultural
outloo..-.
The secretary says that the south
will eventually contain as fine
farms as any part of the country /.
1t has large area of fertile lands,
and the worn-out lands will be re-
claimed by proper cultivation.
Diversified crops will be a necessity
forced by the demands of consumers
and the low price of cotton.
This will in future keep ar. home
the money now sent TO distant
sections for products which should
be grown south.
The sheep, horse, beef-raising
and dairy industries are bound to
flourish in the course of time.
The village system of farming
finds scant favor in the eyes of Mr..
Rusk. He does not think that it
will be successfully tried here. Our
farms will be reduced in size, aud
the application of electricity to
locOmOtlOn and all means of COM
munication Will bring the country
farm houses close together and in
touch with cities..a markets. The
day will come when every farmer
can talk over the telephone to his
neighbors, ard communicate with
the next town without leaving his
house,
AS the secretary well says, the
only hope of the farmer will be in
his brains. He says:
"The sharp competitions between
sections and countries which will
be induced by increased facilities
tor TRANSFORMATION WILL stir the
agrlculturist up to his best efforts.
His chances for fortune making will
be great, but he will have to be
prepared to fight the battle of com
petition for them. He must De
sufficiently well educated in science
as Tar as 1t is applicable to agricul.
ture, and he must be intelligent
enough to study his surroundings
and to apply his knowledge to the
conditions abOnt him. He will be
able to meet his fellow citizen on
an equal footing, and bis brains
will command from his class IN the
industry which he presents the
respect and consideration which he
deserves, and he will give other
classes and other Industries due
respect in retlrn The farmer of
the future will be a business man
able not only to compel his soil to
do its best in the matter of produc-
tion but to study the markets and
know what will sell the best and
what will command the highest
price. This farmer Will keep his
accounts like any other business
man so that he may know exactly
where his profits are and where
have been his losses. These are
strong qualifications but they are
essential to the farmer who would
do his business on broad plan and
who would succeed. AS to the
question of his education, when you
consider that be musU have knowl-
edge of all the principles of animal
and plant life; that he must under
stand the constituent elements OF
soils and fertilizers, and that be
must have some knowledge OF
meteorology, chemistry and the
other sciences closely connected
With crop raising, you will see that
the ideal farmer of the future will
have to be not only brainy but a
lleducated man.

.NO one 10 run him. him" Is The

How dependent all this sounds

free and intelligent American clti-
zen "he has no one to rum him.

other lines of business have some
one else to ''run'' them9 They are
without guardians and know not
months ahead to a nicely how the
money will come to meet current
bills. But they do not complaining
ly sigh that they have no one to
advance money, or to sell goods on
long time; but lmbued with sell re-
lance and a confidence IN the
future, they tTustingly venture and
the business from day to day brings
in enough to settle with the credl-
tors before he becomes too impoitn-
nate.
Canrot the farmer do as Well?
Some do. Fruits, truck, vegeta-
bles, butter, eggs and other pro
ducts are made and sold, little it
may be at the time. but which Ill
the end pay running expenses.
Some farmers. we say, have done
this and are dong it, needless,
therefore, is it to say that they are
doing we'll and rnnnlng themselves.
Others can do AS well.
OF course If a man took no
thought for the morrow, and his
highest aspiration was "yet little
sleep, little slumber, little fold
ing of the hands 10 Sleep" some
one to "ruD" him would round out
and complete his life.
But he who would be man, en-
pioying his God given talents, will
never be content to lead a life of
idleness and thoughtlessness so far
as business is concerned.
AS the farmer Knocked and cuff
ed about by adversely begins to
learn the lessons 1t was sent upon
him to teach, let him not fail to
take home the lesson taught in
going over the history to the man
who has been lun. Let HIM resolve
that he will renew his manhood,
be self reliant, trusting to himself
and merciful Providence to guide
anu run him and not some other
fellow who will charge high for SO
doing.
Happy will be this land when it
can be said of it's farmers, Not one
has to be run !. " hen that day
comes thrift and plenty and con-
tentment will oe our portion and

1he desirable state of affairs can
be accomplished without calamity
