WILD TRIBE OF POETS.
Picturesque People That Are Found In
the Philippines.

Among the wild tribes to be found
ta the Philippines are the Bogobos,
she most picturesque people in the
tropics. Their origin is unknown,
and all sorts of opinions have been
expressed concerning them. One tale
told Of them is that their first ances-
tors were all poets and musicians,
and that the dislike for the practical
which is always noticeable among
theIa, has come down through the gen.
erations.
Those that have taught among the
eogobos say that given song Or
4 poem to learn and they will study
and dream over, 1t for hours. but give
inc Bogobo a problem i'm arithmetic
and he Immediately becomes i'll and
wants to go home.
Living at Santa Cruz. In the Dayao
district, is Miss Benedict, q Chicago
uaiyersity woman, who is collecting
everything peculiar to the Bogobo.
It has been found that the bead
work done by them is quite like that
Of the American Indian, but there is
no other likeness in the races be-
yoad that.

Education.

Intelligence is the distinguishing
mark between the savage and civ
ilized man. Education is one of the
greatest Of Gods blessings, and ig-
norance curse. In America there ex.
lists no valid reason why every man,
woman and child Of normal brain
should not have an education. There
is no phase of life where knowledge
is not necessary. In the most progress
siye communities is where the supe.
rior schools are found. Help along
your town and help along education
in general. By affording your chill
dren a chance for goou education,
you offer them riches that cannot be
destroyed; it is ready cash in hand,
assets that one cannot be robbed OF
,nly by act of Providence.

To Err Is Human.

Robert Browning once found him
self at q dinner, at great English
house, sitting next to a lady who was
connected with the highest aristoc-
racy. She was very graciously in
clIned, and did her utmost to make
conversation.
Are you not a poet?" she finally
asked.
WELL" said Browning, people are
sometimes kind enough to say that I

mentioned it." the duchess hastened
to say, with the kindest of smiles.

OPPOSED TO LOCAL PROGRESS.
Journals That Help to Concentrate
Business in Large Cities.

There are thousands of so-called ag-
ricultural papers published in the
United States, all of more Or less
merit. Yet few are all that they should
be. There is an inconsistency about
chem that invites careful study. While
they are supposed to represent the
best interests of the great class OF
workers whom they gain support front
in the way of subscriptions, the ma
jority Of them apparently work against
the progress of farming communities
by becoming the mediums, a part of
the machinery, which draws from
country towns the support which they
should have.
1t is to be regretted that many OF
these so-called agricultural papers are
merely published for the purpose OF
circulating the advertisements OF con-
Germs which seek to secure trade from
residents of farming districts to the
The Starkville news., 1907-11-22

detriment of the home towns. These
establishments take money from the
rural communities to the large finan.
cial centers. The thoughtful man or
woman can see how injurious it
is to the interests of the farmers to
take away the surplus earnings which
represent the wealth OF the commu-
nifty. 1t requires but little observa-
ton and study to understand that to
a great extent farm values are de-
pendent upon the Importance OF the
nearby town, and that any system
that takes away it's business, will re-
suit in decrease of farm values.
Such papers as advise the farmers to
patronize other than home institutions
and which advocate systems that are
opposed to the up-building OF indus
tries in agricultural districts are not
worthy Of support.

TO THE FARMER.HoY.


My boy, the farm Is all right. Some.
times you may feel that its environs
are too narrow for you, its life too
much Of q humdrum, and that you
would prefer to be one Of the residents
OF the big city or town. There have
been hundreds and thousands Of 9TH
ers just like you. and with just such
ideas. They have started from the
farm buoyant with hope, and after
years have regretted their youthful.
resolutions. Others have succeeded;
, have won laurels in the professional
field, in business, in statesmanship;
but the few who have succeeded thus
are SO small in number compared to
the army Of failures that there Is lit
tie encouragement for the careful!
thinker to leave that which promises
security from want and independence
for a life time. The farmer Is surely
the most independent of all workers
He Is sure to receive a greater rc-
ward for his labors, Is his own man
ager, and if he will strive diligently
can aspire to a place in the public es-
innate that few can attain in the large
towns.
OF course there are times when you
think there is almost an unbearable
dullness about existence on the farm.
Were you resident Of the city, there
would be times when you would long
for the quietness and the pleasure that
the farm afford. Hours of work may
be long riding the plow, or harvesting
the grain, but far superior is the work
than that the great majority OF the
city youths are compelled to follow,
and how much greater the compensa-
ton? How would you ike to stand
behind the dry goods or grocery coun-
ter from morning to night for the
small wages that the city clerk re-
ceives? Year after year the laborer
lives in cheap boarding houses and
rarely save sufficient to engage in
business. His Is a mere subsistence,
and a constant struggle. The best
years of life are wasted In making
money for others, while the indus
trious farmer Is working for himself,
saving money year after year, and
when the time for rest comes 1t en-
ables him to take it.
Cities are oyercrowded with clerk
help An advertisement inserted In
any daily paper for clerk to fill any
position will bring hundreds Of re-
sponses. The array Of unemployed
and those seeking to better their con-
ditions is always large. Of late years
large element of workers from cit
les are looking toward the farms for
employment. They realize that the
farm offers more permanency of occu-
patton and greater independence than
like efforts in the city can possibly
afford Before you concentrate your
attention on employment in city or
town, weigh every matter well, and
then act according to what reason die
tates. You will be very likely to con-
clude that the farm is good enough
place for you, and that your own lit
tie home town is preferable to the
over-crowded city. Remember that
your greatest interests center In
what you call your home town." Do
all you can to assist in it's improve
ment, and make it q better business

volving his late associates and declaring
that $4,000 was paid by companies who
were given the contracts in connection
with the proposed new water works. The
awards were made at a meeting OF the

There are three concerns interested In

the contract for laying the 30-inch pipe
