Able Men Wanted.
Editor of The Banner:

Editor of The Banner:
In the discussion of men and
measures of the day, should say
that. next to that of honest men
and men of conviction, command
ing need in civic affairs is for men
of ability. Any sort of a man makes
a good politician,and the more sorts
he is. the better politician he is.
But it takes a good man, an hon
est man, a man of convictions man
of ability, to make a statesman,
The difference between the poll
tician and the statesman is simple;
the politician is a man of pull; the
statesman is a man of power; the
politician is a mere ward healer; the
statesman is a want healer.
From the control of district af-
fairs through that of county, mu-
nicipal and State affairs to that of
National affairs, the American peo-
pie have suffered much, and are
still suffering much, at the hands
of INSCRIPTIONS leaders. Whatso-
ever the people sow, that shall they
also reap. They have sowed the
politician with his pull, and now
they are reaping a harvest of graft
and crime, and being pulled.
There are many signs indicating
a healthful awakening on the part
of the people in civic matters. The
very fact that a Republican Cover
nor could be elected in a Demo-
cratic State like Maryland; that
great National party like the Re-
publican party could be completely
showed under as was the case last
Fall; that such police investiga-
tion as is now under way in New
York city can be conducted in such
a way and such city, all indicate
that the American people are get
ting tired of sowing and reaping
wild oats. They have been sowing
the politician long enough. They
are getting the land ready for the
statesman.
There are some crops that will
not grow until the land is pre-
pared and cultivated. Weeds will
grow in any field. So if we are
to get our best men and ablest
men into office, we must make
such life clean and attractive. The
time has come for US to adopt the
Cincinnatus idea. Let the office
seek the man, and not the man the
office.
At any rate, let our political slate
makers Look we'll to their work and
see to it that none but men of
ability are offered for official
positions in all civil affairs, from
the smallest and humblest office to
that OF the highest. Let the peo-
pie demand that much.

Turkish Soldiers Without Fezes.

For the first time, we read, the Turk
ish soldier is going to war without
the fez. Mahmud H., when he changed
the uniform of his army, tried to in
troduce the shake, but the opposition
of the soldiers was too strong for
him. The fez is certainly a poor COW
ering for men on active service; for
even the change of it's color to khaki
did not get over its feebleness as 6
protection against sun or bad weather.
Hence the headshawl devised some
time ago to be worn twisted around
the fez The Turks devotion to the
tez is clearly explained by Duckett
Ferriman: 1.-THE prejudice against the
hat rests on a religious basis. If the
ramaz (form of prayer is rightly per-
formed the forehead must :fuch the
ground. The brim Of hat or The peak

Paint Now

If your property needs it; don't
wait.
There are two parts of a job; the
paint and the work; the work is
more than the paint; and it never
comes-down.
The cost of paint is about two
fifths; the work three-fifths.
Faint won't come-down in a hur-
ry; too-many jobs put-off.
Men are waiting for 81 or So;
they don't know it; they think they
are waiting for $40 or $25.
Why don't men use their heads ?

A man named Rene Foerschler, aged
Twenty-Five, who is in the Sante
prison (Paris), awaiting trial on a
charge of burglary. recently wrote to
NJ. Poncet, the magistrate in charge
of his case, confessing to EOS other
burglaries The magistrate at first re-

MosIem Women in Future Life.

Mosiem Women In Future Life.
"Are women admitted to paradise?"
is a question that is often answered
in the negative We find, however,
more than one passage in the Koran
that distinctly speaks Of future life
in paradise for women. The most
often quoted is the one promising the
faithful that he will meet in paradise
besides his own earthly wives seventy
two houris-not an attractive pros
pect for the poor women, who have
suffered enough in this life from the
humiliations of polygamy! But in
the fourth Sura we find the following
more definite statement: But whose
doeth good works, whether he be
male or female, and is true believ-
er, they shall be admitted into para
disc, and shall not in the least be
unjustly dealt with. Life in the
Moslem East, by Pierre Ponafdine.

FRIDAY JULY Is. 1913

On another page of the JOUR-
NAL you will find published the
Compulsory School attendance Act
as passed by the General Assembly
of 1913 This act and the six
months school term act were passed
largely by reason of the pressure of
public clamor and public settlement
that was brought to bear upon the.
members of the Legislature. Both
are excellent laws and have been
needed in this state for a number
of years. But as is usual, it is nee
esrary, in order that the best effects
may be obtained, that they be
strictly inforced and backed up by
public settlement. There is not a
child in Jackson County that can
not nnder ordinary circumstances
attend the schools. If parents either
negligently or wilfully allow their
children to ab>ent the nse,ve3 from
school then it is clearly within the
province OF the state to see to it
that the parents are forced to send
their chi rem to school, and under
the compulsory school attendance
act is that under it no child COM
Ing within the ages specified is al
lowed to miss more than three DAYS
from school in any month unless
he has valid excuse. No child
can do the work in the schools that
he should if he misses part of the
days of the term. 1t is necessary
that he be at his work every day.
This act secures to the children
that which is clearly his right, to
attend school and obtain an educa-
ton so that he may be of greater
service to himself and his State.
Let's everybody back up the law
and have the largest attendance
and best schools that the history of
Jackson County ever recorded.

EXPLANATION OF PREMIUMS
OFFERED AT WOMEN'S INSTITUTES

The following explanation in re-
gard to the premiums that we are
Offering to the girls and women liv-
ing on the farm for the best exhib-
it's of bread and school lunches at
women's Institutes may be of value
to the would be exhibitors.
The school lunch exhibit is open
to women over Is years of age only.
This ruling will be strictly adhered
to. In either exhibit the exhib-
itor must sign a statement,
giving name. postoffice address and
age, whether she is over or under
Is, stating that she made the bread
or prepared or prepared the lunch,
place this information in an envel-
ope, seal it and place with the ex-
hibit. By this means the judge can
be sure of Getting the name and
address of the exhibitor.
The school lunch is deserving of
more consideration than many pa
rents give it. Childhood is an i'm
pressionable age and great care
should be exercised as to the in
f1uences that are brought to bear on
the child during this critical period
in it's life. Influences that to us
grown people seem small may leave
an impression with children through
out their lives. For this reason we
should be exceedingly careful as to
the kind of influences that surround
our children. Cleanliness and neat
ness should be among the early i'm
pressi0ns made unon t'>o ~7;c1 81
the child The schUol lullcn is d
good means of impressing the child
with these habits, or perhaps I
might say virtues, for they are vir-
tues.
The school lunch should have
three characteristics, Appealing
nourishine, and easily digested. A
normal child of school age requires
considerable food to meet the de-
mands Of up-keep and growth, so
a school lunch should be sufficient
ly appetizing to induce him to eat
freely. 1t should be composed of
the things things that will satisfy
the hunger of a robust child. and at
the same time be so easily digested
as to permit the child to study in
the afternoon rather than to be put
to sleep from the effects of the
lunch.
In preparing the school lunch
avoid all soggy foods, all fried
meats. unless small quantity of
we'll fried breakfast bacon may be
permissible. Good bread and bis
cults, boiled eggs, CHECKED and fresh
meats, butter, sandwiches, ripe fruit,
sailed peanuts or other nuts, plain
cakes and bottle of fresh
milk are sufficient to draw
from and will supply the require
ments of almost any school child
Sandwiches may be made from any
nome grown vegetables with
or without mayonnoise dressing as
the child may perfer. The lunch
should be put up in a neat basket
or bucket and never in pasteboarC
box. The latter is not as sanitary
as the basket or bucket.
The basis of award will be a.
follows.
Neatness in packing 80 per cen
Suitability of food to purpose 80 pc
cent.
Suitability of food to season 40 De
cent
In judging bread the follow scor,
