"That Boy"

Parents, teacher, guardians, have
you ever thought Of the fact that
"that boy is the material of which
the future citizenship of this cOun-
try is to be made; have you ever
thought as you pass down the street
and see a crowd of boys that they
are soon TO be counted as units in
the sum total of the manhood of
your commonwealth? "That boy"
be he good or bad, will soon be in
tluential in shaping the moral, edu-
cational and commercial status of
the community in which he lives.
Can you then afford to see his early
training neglected? Can you afford
to let 'that boy" Of yours drift in
to bad association, and acquire hab.
It's which unfit hm for existence in
a civilized community? Had you
thought of the potential attributes
of "that boy" under our constitu.
tional form of government? If you
have not, then it is high time You
were doing so, and set in motion in
tluences which will guide "that boy"
Alright.

PRICE OF HOGS

"The fact as shown by the recent
report sent out by the department
of agriculture that the number o.
hogs in Arkansas has decreased al
most half IN the last ten year,
means something" yesterday said a
man, who keeps posted on farming
conditions in general. ''In 1900
there were something like ZOO, 900
swine in Arkansas, while the report
for 1910 shows less than l,OOC, 900.
That means that the farmers in Ar.
kansas, as in almost every other
state, forgot the future and sold
about every Plg they could get hold
of at the higI prices that have pre-
vailed duringAhe last year"
"Most tarners are looking for
ready cash." j added, "and when

HARD TIMES A MYTH.

There Is q whole lot of gratuitous
talk these days about the prevalence
of hard times and not very encourag
ing prospects in the world of trade for
the immediate future. That's the best
possible way to bring about such con-
ditions. Continued talk of hard times
helps them to develop better than any
thing else. But such talk is out OF
place now and especially as it relates
t the conditions that viii prevail dur
ing the next few months and years.
It is true that during the past few
months business in several sections
of the country has not been as brisk
in all lines as it has been during the
periods of unusual prosperity that the
United States has enjoyed. But this
was due TO the fact that necessary
readjustment of prices to lower levels
has been under way. Conservatism in
the conduct of all lines of trade and
industry necessarily followed. No mer-
chant is going to be heavy buyer
in declining market, He will mere
II purchase from time to time enough
goods to keep his store stocked. The
prospect Of still lower prices is re-
sponsible for such caution.
Even under these circumstances.
though. the statistics Of the experts

of trade for the entire country is

favorahly with the volume of trade
during the more prosperous periods
of recent years OF eouse there is an
ever increasing population to cater to,
so the volume Of trade Of the present
is bound to keep up with the volume
OF other years. But this volume is So
large that it keeps all kinds of bust
ness and industry on a generally prof
liable move.
As a matter of fact conditions are
more settled and safe in the world of
trade and finance in this country today
than they have been in long time.
The people generally as well as the
business men have been eeononuEiug,

THE FRENCH BIRTH RATE.

1t is indisputable that the French
are among the most resourceful ane
ingenious people in Europe. The fac,
is clearly demonstrated in their sta
tistics of births and deaths recently
made public. Since their birth rate
does not increase, Frenchmen are re.
fusing to die. Thus are they pre-
venting too unfavorable ratio OF
births to deaths in the republic.
In 1910 there were approximately
10000 more births than deaths, but
the excess was due to the fact that
there were only 703,771 deaths last
year, whereas in 1900 the deaths num-
bered 853,2S5. The birth rate per
1000 population was 21.2 in 1900,
and only 1877 in 1910. But the death
rate has declined in greater ratio,
having been 21.9 per 1000 in 1900
and 17.9 per cent in. 1910.
Much comment has been caused in
recent years by the falling birth rate
in France. 1t is evidently the result
of prudence, and one great cause is
the unwillingness of the peasants to
have more children than they can pro-
vide for comfortably by subdivision
of land, farms having been reduced
to the minimum limit of subsistence.
But French statesmen may now take
courage. Patriotism, always strong,
has come to the rescue of the ma
ton in successful attempt to pre-
serve the living. There has been, too,
