Efficiency First; Symmetry Second.

Says DR.. Eliot. "A passion for SER
vice must fuse with a passion for
knowledge" Fuse with 1t, not come
after it. The truth is, the normal
boy will not accept education unless
1t does fuse with his desire to do
things. The Lord made him that
way, and it is utterly useless for the
modern educator to attempt to build
him over.
Symmetrical manhood that can
not earn its own living-earn it
is not symmetrical. Symmetry will
take care OF itself IL efficiency is
provided for. / would rather send
out pupils who are lop-sided and use
full, than those who are seemingly
symmetrical and useless. A bent
back is symmetrical II a bent back

The efficiency OF a ginner's
plant is what brings him his
business-its economy in opera

No ginning outfit turns out

The Munger System uses a

A BOY WHO LOVES FARM WORK.

Messrs. Editors: In the July 18th
issue Of The Progressive Farmer and
Gazette, | read a letter from a boy
who was dissatisfied with farming
because he couldn't get anything
out of it." l intend to be a farmer
because 1 love the work. l am only
16 years old, but l think l can see
future success through the growing
and feeding of degumes to pure
bred live stock, and returning the
manure to the soil. l think a sue
cessful farmer is man to be envied,
because he can live Independent of
everyone
During the past month an Immi-
grafton convention was held at Jack
son for the purpose of inviting farm
ers from the North and West, and
from certain parts of Europe to i'm
migrate to the Southern States. l
think a good farmer from the North
or West would be an untold benefit
to our community. 1t seems to me
that if successful Northern farmer
ike MT. r fT60C0, was located near
me, when l begin farming, so that
| could 60 to him for advice, success
would be thing to be realized, as
well as dreamed Of

Editorial Comment: No doubt you
are right in thinking that a farmer
like Mr.. French would be a great
help to you when you begin farm
ing for yourself; but why should
you not be such farmer and show
others the way? There is no reason
why Southern boys should not make
as good farmers as Northern or
Western boys. 4. In fact, they should
do better farming in the South, be-
cause they are better acquainted
with local needs and conditions
With love for your work, and the de-
sire to excel, you need only to OBJ
serve, think, and work earnestly and
persistently to be success in every
sense of the word

McCarley, Miss.
Editorial Comment: 1t is rather
difficult to advise this young friend
without knowing more of his condi-
tion-the amount of stock, the land
which he proposes to cultivate and
the help that he can get, If any
Enough corn should be planted to
supply all needed to feed the family
and work stock and a little for the
hogs. A few acres Of oats put in
this fall will also be advisable fol
they can be followed next spring
with peas or soy beans for the hogs
or to make seed and hay An acre
or two of wheat might also be ad-
visable il suitable land is available
These crops will not seriously inter.
fere with the cultivation of othe,
crops as they are put in this fall
We would advise you to grow a good
crop of sweet potatoes for they will
not only supply food for the family
but will sell at a profit.
A patch of rape on a rich piece OF
land, sowed the latter part of Sep.
tember, will help to feed the hogs
Red clover might be put in with II
II 1T will do well on your land, and
will furnish grazing for the hogs
when other feed is scarce next MAY
and June. If red clover is not sowed
with the rape this fall another seed
ing of rape In February will give
grazing for the hogs in April and
May. After all these crops and q
good garden are put in, then we ad.
wise planting all the cotton you car
cultivate well and get gathered with
out neglecting the other crops.
We advise you to SOW alfalfa or
a small scale, il at all, until you
know you can grow it successfully
1t will not pay you to try such ar
expensive crop to put in as is alfalfa
unless you have plenty OF lime In
your soil

May Doubt constitutionaIity.

"Second-There are those who doubt the constitutionality of such federal incorpor- ation. The regulation of interstate and foreign commerce IS certainly conferred in the fullest measure upon congress, and if for the purpose of securing in the most thorough manner that kind of regulation, congress shall insist that it may provide and authorize agencies to carry on that commerce, it would seem to be within it's power, this has been distinctly affirmed with respect to railroad companies doing an interstate business and interstate bridges. The power of incorporation has been exercised by congress and upheld by the supreme court in this regard. Why, then, with respect to any other form of interstate commerce like the sale of goods across state boundaries and into foreign countries, may the same power not be asserted? Indeed, it is the very merce that makes these great industrial concerns subject to federal prosecution and control. How far as incidental to the carrying on of that commerce it may be within the power of the federal gov ernment to authorize the manufacturer of goods, is perhaps more open to discus sion. though a recent decision of the su- preme court would seem to answer that question in the affirmative.
 ''The third objection, that the worst of- lenders will not accept federal incorpora- tion. is easily answered. The decrees of injunction recently adopted in prosecu- tions under the antitrust law are so tions affected by them have but three courses before them:
 First. they must resolve themselves into tfefr component parts in the differ ent states, with a consequent loss to themselves of capital and effective organ ization and, to the country of concen- trated energy and enterprise; or second in defiance of the law and under some secret trust they must attempt to con- tinue their business in violation of the federal statute. and thus incur the pen alties of contempt and bring on an in- evitable criminal prosecution of the indi- viduals named in the decree and their as- sociates: or
 Third, they must reorganize and ac- cept in good faith the federal charter I suggest federal compulsory license law urged as substitute for a federal incor- poration law. is unnecessary except to reach that kind of corporation which by virtue of the considerations already ad- vanced. will take advantage voluntarily of an incorporation law. while the other state corporations doing an interstate business do. not need the suhervision or the regulation of federal license and would only be unnecessarily bur,dened thereby"

Many have the idea that anything
will sell If advertised strong enough.
This is q great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article but
1t is only the article that is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success of a worthy
article is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-
tic. This wonderful record is the result.
of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting public.
