was General Grant who o. 1qk7
solution OF the problem OF the y
life was to be found In good roax-
and good schools" Because OF the
lack OF these in North Carolina as well
as other states, the trend has been
from the farm to the town and the
city, and the rural communities have
been constantly losing their strongest
asset-the brightest and strongest Of
their youth.
Big Drain on the Country.
This drain upon the rural commun-
tiles ia having far-reaching results
Affecting not only the country people,
but the city people as we'll: because
when the intelligent portion Of a
community is gone. the farms are
! turned over to the less intelligent. who
work the farms with the idea OF get
the least expenditure of energy and

| crease in soil fertility. which is be-
coming positive menace to the coun-
| Try: because, with the decrease in the
soil fertility, there is corresponding
decrease in the output Of farm prod :
ucts. With the advent Of the good

facilities offered by them for social

tunities for engaging his activities in

A Christmas Message.

Christmas comes but once a year!
Christmas has never come to him who
has never discovered that it is better to
give than to receive. But when we DIS
cover that giving is getting-that serv-
ing is ruling-that helping is being help
ed-that loving is being loved-that the
pure in heart see God tOday-that our
life gives our language its power-that
we have no enemies if we hate nobody
that overcoming temptation is more
joyous than yielding to it-that the king
dom of heaven is entered by right living,
not by right dying-that there are no
bad people, but some Of our brothers
and sister have lost the way-then Christ
mas comes TO all the year.
Each day becomes a merrier Christ
mas, each day brings clearer vision of
the Christ Child. each day grows
largar in peace and good will to men,
each day we come nearer our kingship
of the earth and the fullneSs thereof
and thus do the kingSdOmS Of this world
become the kingdoms OF our God. May
Christmas come all the year to every
one in the worldl-Ralph Parlette.

Uncle Sam AS a Horse Trader.

Uncle Sam, who does nothing by halves
has recently gone into the horse business
on an extensive scale. At Front Royal,
in the bluegrass part of Virginia, he has
started what is probably the largest
horse farm in the woIld-a farm of
800 acres, located only few hours
ride from the nations capital. He in
tends this to be Only one of series OF
such farms, and to turn out thorough
breds by the tens of thousands. This
farm is already supplying practically
the entire United States with cavalry
mounts. and Capt. Q. a., Conrad expects
TO make the government farms the sup
ply depots for the army mounts of most
of the civilized nations Of the world.
To stock this farm August Belmont
m ade Uncle Sam gift Of his six best
staiheas, known the racing world over.
The six of them, when two years old,
cost Belmont 100000 When Johnson
Camden, millionaire horseman of Ken
lucky, heard of this gift he added to it
two of his famous stations, Boola- Boola
and Wheelwright, worth about S25, 500.
With these eight the farm was started.
The government has now more than
fifty.
Uncle Sans scheme for securing
mounts out of these stations is unique.
He takes all the farmers Of his country
into partnership. His fine stations are
being taken all over the country, wher
ever there are farmers with mares. 1t
used TO be that Belmont's and Camdsn's
stations could be had only by the very
rich, Henry OF Navarro, for instance. got
81, 200 for a service. Today the breeding
is free, provided only that the mare be
of good breeding herself and free from
blemish. the interest being to put the
commonplace horse out of existence and
replace him with race OF noble stock.
All that is required Is that the farmer
shall agree to sell the colt TO Uncle Sam
when it is two years old for $500. If,
however, a man prefers TO keep his colt,
he must pay a service fee of not more
than s25. II the colt has single blem.
ish, he may keep 1t and pay no fee at
all. Twice year from now on, or every
spring and fall, these stalliins will be
shipped about the country. A letter to
the War Department will bring one
within easy reach of any farmer who
will live up to the light conditions.

A Whistler.

the happiest man in the world is the
poor fellow who earns just enough mon
ey to pay his debts. Such man is pos
sessed of the happiness which causes
him to whistle and sing as he goes about
his work, and when he meets you on the
street a pleasant smile, speaking louder
than words, convinces you of his SINGER
ity. The rich man, with mortgage on
every other house in town and with a
bank account, may be happy, but his
happiness is not of the heart; neither
does it manifest itself as does the true
happiness that radiates from the coun-
tenance of an honest working man.
