Start At The Bottom

AS we look at the lives of great men,
we see somewhere in their lives that they
started. They didn't start at the top
elther-it was at the bottom where a
foundation was to be made. 1t was at
the bottom that the foundation had to be
made, and be made right. The founda-
ton is the principal part OF anything,
whether it be in material building or a
character building.
Too often, we see parents putting their
children in positions Of which they know
but little about, and in which they have
little interest. Let them start at the low
est honest work, then gradually let them
rise, preferably at their own inspiration,
but never leave them entirely; guide
them, rather than help them. Give them
a good education first, and be sure that is
a good education, then let them make
their way. This may seem hard, but you
are building character that will bring
honor to you later, and be lasting bene-
fit to you and yours.
1t is no disgrace to use the pick and
shovel-to hoe IL e corn-to act as sim"
hand, or the ianitor, once and awhile in
early life; it is really part OF character
building But on the other hand it is
not intended that we should always fol-
low these petty occupations. The fellow
who doesn't have the spirit OF advance
ment isn't going to dig many bitches, hoe
many rows of corn or pick up the many
little jobs here and there. The little
things are the beginnings of big things
There is no need of leaving home to
advance oneself; the farmer has life
time Of room Tor advancements; the mer-
chant can spend half the night in plan
ming, figuring and watching and improv-
ing his business, then he sees more to do.
There is room for improvement IN all
avenues of life's work.
Do not get discouraged because your
environment does not start you higher
up. That higher up'' is open for us, and
can be reached by our own well-planned
exertion.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Boys Who Smoke.

William Brown, well known
physical trainer, is vigorous in
his denunciation of the use of
tobacco by the immature. "To-
bacco in any FORM" he says, sis
bad enough, but cigarettes are
fatal to brain and body too. 1t
ought to be made crime to sell
a cigarette to a boy, with at
least a year in prison as the pen
atty. The use of cigarettes af-
fects the nerves and makes a
boy look to alcohol for stimu-
liant. Cigarettes and alcohol to-
gether are worse than rat poison.
| don't know which I'd rather
see boy Of mine take, and
that's fact. If anything is go
ing to ruin the coming genera
ton In this country it will be
cigarettes and alcohol, but I'm
glad to see that the man who
drinks today doesn't stand as
well with his business associates
as the drinking man did ten
years ago. Drinking is going out
OF fashion, and the man who
ruins his constitution and dulls
his brain with alcohol is classed
with the dope fiend' who uses
opium or cocaine"

Shall BeIIngtOn Have A High
School?

On next Friday the 10Th, the voters of
Belington Independent District will be
called on to decide this most important
question.
There should be no doubt as to how
this matter will be decided. A good
High School will prove to be of inestim-
able value It will be a drawing card.
1t has been said sOur schools are the
corner stone of our Social System" then
by all means let Us haye a good corner
stone for Belington
The lot on which to build, mas been
purchase md paid for, and will be so
much dead money" until used. 1t is
the most desirable location in the city.
The Board of Education is to be congrat-
ulated for selecting such sanitary oca-
ton.
The Board can not erect this building
unless the people provide the money.
This you can do by voting For Bonds"
on next Friday. Many people object to
Bonds''. The boys and girls of today
will receive the greatest benefits from
this school, hence we do not think it a
hardship for them to help pay for this
building. AS these Bonds run" for "a
years at low rate of interest, they will
be paid and the taxpayer will not realize
the increase in his tax bills.
You who send your boy or girl off to
school will pay more in one year in board
and tuition than the total amount you
would pay on these Bonds, so for you my
friend it is good investment.
And you my friend in moderate cir
cumstance, who is unable to send your
boy or girl off to High School will have
the school brought to you and the rail
roads and other rich corporations doing
business in your town will help pay for
educating your child.
