Going Into Debt.

one often hears it said that a man
must go into debt before he can get
ahead in the world. Put in another
way, 1t is stated that debts are
needed TO stimulate industry and
thrift, and many examples arc cited
OF successful men who have made
money through borrowing money.
In business, going into debt Is the
rule rather than the exception, be-
cause the amount OF capital needed
varies from time TO time, aud the
usual practice Is to secure an adj
vance to be repaid out OF anticipated
revenues. Men also go into debt
when they buy property with de-
ferred payments represented by
mortgage or other evidence OF debt,
which really means, however, that
only a part interest is purchased with
the privilege of buying the remain
der.
But. individually. most people who
have had experience with debt bur
dens try their best to avoid such
obligations Going into debt may be
an incident TO the conducting of sue
cessful business. but going into debt
for personal expenses is a costly and
unsatisfactory habit. Where going
into debt reflects living beyond ones
means. where the debt represents
waste or luxury. or consuming to-
morrow's sustenance today, II usu-
ally becomes a dead weight impossi-
BILE TO shake on. II is like a rolling
SNOWFALL that grows larger from ac-
cretions faster than It melts. Going
into debt to meet the expenses of
sickness or misfortune, or involun-
tary idleness is bad enough, but going
into debt willfully. with eyes open
and no assurance OF speedily getting
out from under, is many times worse.
What the handicap of debt is should
be impressed upon the mind of every
child In the home and at school. The
road that begins with debt too often
ends in the poorhouse or the ceme-
terry, and freedom from debt is worth
more in peace of mind than riches.

Affinitieg and Common Sense.

DR.. Robert G. Aud, the originator
of the Human Welfare as Science"
craze, calls on this nation to con-
serve its citizenship, as 1t does its
forests and mineral resources. He
is abashed at the profligacy with
which we throw away the opportuni-
ties of building up a stronger race.
He SCOTS at our philanthropic efforts
at rearing better breeds OF horses
and cattle and breaches the impor-
tance of eugenics at us.
Like all other scientists in that
groove, DR.. Aud has his own pam
acea for the cure of this national de-
ficiency. 1t is affinity. Affinity. far
from being thing to be despised
and discouraged, is the condition
that every human being anxious to
make for higher standards in the sex
relations should strive for" he says.
AFFINITY is the perfect condition OF
the human relationship"
And every husband should be his
wife's affinity and vice verse. SO far
SO good. But the doctor must admit
the presence of one or two little OBJ
stacles In the way of this beautiful
idealism. II every youth and every
maiden were endowed with tho
genius of supernatural foresight and
would act upon what that occult
sense made plain, then, indeed, this
eugenie ideal might be easily real
lied, but how many, oh, how many,
men and women are deprived of this
divine attribute! How many love
sick pairs honestly believe they have
made the only choice and yet wake
up some day to learn that they could
scarcely have made a worse one.
The state, the parents, suggests
the doctor. No, neither the state
nor the parents could do it abso-
lutely-though they might help-for
they do not possess this faculty TO
penetrate the future aud discern
what it holds, And, then. there is
that obstinate little oherub. Dan
Cupid-he always has had his own
way in such matters and he probably
always viii. Try to talk to him on
the subject of eugenies when he is
negotiating one of his matches and
see how far you come to fixing
him. There is nothing quite as per-
verse as the mind OF a man OF
woman in love.

from the farm to the city in the first

back many young men who left the
farm by way of the college. Mean

try boys, but town boys, as well, into

Some Peculiar Motions.

Many intelligent people who ought
to know better apparently entertain
some very peculiar notions about the
function of the newspaper.
Some of these people have a no
ton that the newspaper is a free
oarryall, under some obligation OF
unwritten law to open it's columns
without price to all their fads and
hobbies, and even their abuse. They
write letters to the editor calling him
every vile name they can think Of,
and II he refuses to give publicity to
their outpouring imagine they have a
grievance.
Others write long-winded resolu-
tions. or frame up hombastic procla-
nations, and instead OF printing
them as dodgers or circulars at their
own expense. call upon the newspa-
pers to pay out good money to put
them In type and bring them to the
attention of the public
Some deluded people have the idea
that by associating two or three like
minded individuals together under
some Understanding name processing
a public purpose. they thereby acquire
right to supplant the editor OF the
paper without first acquiring It's own
ership.
Many other misguided persons fai

COLLEGE and Farmer Bow

The point has been made that the

into the city when they have finished
their course aud the farm, which
needs them, must look elsewhere for

IL is apparent, Of course. that the
boy turns his back on the farm and
his face to the city because the city
has more attractions that appeal to
the adventurous youth. The boy In
college has longed for wealth. or

eeived the notion that he can get
them in the city, but not in the coun-
try. With his diploma. therefore, he
hastens off for town. Later in life he
may hunt his way back 10 the farm,

But what is 10 be done2 Surely
the country boy must not be made to

person to find an affinity before he

may be made; that is, with passions

Again. the Good Old Times.

A writer in the st. Louis Globa-

home there were times when not a cent
OF money could be raised, but there were
forms OF wealth there that will glorify
log cabins for all time and make them
worthy OF enshrinement beyond anything
identified with the Parthenon.

agreeing with this fine sentiment as
far as II goes, adds
