A Good Word
Is Always Worth While.

Among the congratufatory letters
received by the mayor Of an Ohio city,
elected for the fourth time, was one
from young man who once found
himself in hard luck and under arrest
for vagrancy, but was released by the
mayor with a word Of kindness and
encouragement The young man writes
that he has been a useful member of
society ever since, that today he is
doing well. earning $4,000 year, and
that he owes his opportunity and sue
cess to the leniency and encourage
rnent then given him
II is a touching tribute to the dyna-
mic power that lies hidden in a kindly
word.
To the young man who was clear
down this mayor gave more than Of
fetal leniency. He gave a part of
himself. To give the man real
chance he had to give him courage
for without courage no man has a
chance. The good that may be In a
man must lie dead until courage
quiclkens 1t to life, as sunshine quick
ems seeds.
A man is not to be despised because
he is down. 1t must not be assumed
that he is so because he lacks the
qualities that uplift. There is a good
deal that is paradoxical about hard
luck. The man who is most accus-
toned to constant employment be-
comes, if he loses his employment, the
most utterly lost and helpless. The
world is at once transformed into a
mystery that his eyes never gazed
upon before. The outlook upon which
he gazes is one with which the con-
frmed loafer has become familiar and
which the adroit adventurer has care
fully studied but to the man who has
given his life to honest toll the new
situation is incomprehensible. He is
the most apt to lose heart and hope
and to hang his head, particularly if
he be among strangers. He is the first
man to feel himself to be a vagrant
and to appear one. In court he has
the least to say in his own defense
He has not learned the need or art of
assembling. He has not learned that
poverty is suspicious and hard luck a
crime.
All the best elements of man are
there-except one and that one has
been chilled out of him. Fertile soil is
there, and good seed. All that is want
ing is the sunshine of kind words
These give him hope and courage. and
the man who has the right stuff in him
and, in spite Of hard luck, has courage
will win out. No deeps can engulf
him. No weight of misfortune can hold
him down. Upon him a single word Of
kindness may exert at once its dyna-
mic force.
Not all Of us can be mayors and set
good men free from the charge of va
grancy, but all OF us can be kind and
give to the despairing. the word CT
hope that lights the way.

Rebuilding American
Merchant Marine.

Ship subsidy bills nave been fos-
tered by Republicans in several ses-
sions of congress, only to be beaten by
determined senators and congressman
on the Democratic side of the two
houses, who realize that the American
merchant marine should not be built
up by paying subsidies. even IL the
subsidies would do what the contend
ers for it say it would.
The Democrats have realized what a
handicap it is to have the American
flag gradually but surely disappearing
from ocean going vessels, but they
have been unwilling for 1t to be re-
stored by paying the enormous SUB
sides to the ship owners from the
treasury of the people.
Now the Alexander bill allowing
American registry for foreign COM
merce to ships built in others conn
tries has been reported on favora ,,lv
by the house committee, and those who
are in favor of such change in the
maritime policy of this country say
that both the house and senate VIII

TWO METHODS OF
FEEDING HOGS.
Well Cared For Pigs the Most
Profitable Pork Producers.

The results Of different treatments Of
hogs came to my notice last spring,
when neighbOr sold two average
pigs eight weeks old to a man who
did not have any other hogs, writes
A. j. Legg In the Orange Judd Farmer.
He bought the two hogs to make pork
the next fall and. Of course, wanted
to give them a good chance to do their
best. They were fed wheat mlddlings,
milk and scraps from the table. in ad-
dltlOn to the pasture they gathered.
These two pigs dressed between 100
and It's pounds each when about seven
months old.
The pigs that had not been sold and
out of the same litter were allowed
to run Cd pasture, and when corn was
ready to feed they were fed enough
Of 1t to put them In pork condition,
but when slaughtered at about the
same time as the other two they only
weighed slxty-6ve to seventy pounds
each. There was difference of nearly
100 pounds between these well fed
hogs and their mates not so fed, and
It's wholly due to different treatments.
It is easy to see which was the most
economical pork producer-the well
cared for hog or the one which got
enough feed to barely live until fat
tening time. The difference in value
was almost $40, as pork sold at 10
cents a pound The two well cared
for hogs did not eat near $40 worth
Of feed from the time they were sepa-
rated from their mates until they were
slaughtered

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Raise the Fall Calves.

Quite number of farmers, aside
from those who make a speciality Of
winter dalrying, have at least some
OF their cows come fresh in milk as
early as September, and where this is
the case the best heller calves should
be saved for the dairy Coming thus
early and being well fed and cared
for during the fall and winter, they
should be nice, large animals by an.
other spring, ready to go to pasture
early. The one aim should be to keep
the dairy well up In quality and USE
fulness by proper selection and care.
And the same may be said of all other
kinds Of stock that is kept on the
CultIvator.
