What Kind Of Mind-FOOd are You
Giving Your Family?

One big fact our Southern farmers
are waking up to, but they are not
waking up to it half as fast rs they
ought. This fact, that if there is any
thing in the world you can't afford
to be cheap" about, it is your intel
lectual food
Every sensible man knows nova
days that the mind counts for more
than the body, the brain more than
the belly; and yet ninety farmers in
every hundred who wouldn't think Of
starving themselves Of body-food,
stomach-food, muscle-food, are never
theless starving themselves of brain
food, mind-food, intellectual food
Many fond father and mother who
would work their finger nails off rath-
r than see their boy feed his body
on bones and crumbs and scraps, will
nevertheless feed that same boys
mind on the mustiest, rankest, rotten
est bran-and- sort of mind-food
that they can find in the shape of a
newspaper.
But | got this paper so cheap"
they will tell you. Three whole
years for a dollar, with map or a
pair of spectacles or a .ountain pen
thrown in free!" How can a man
so slander his own brain, his own
mind. How can he insinuate that it
is worth so little as to deserve no bet
ter food than some cheap journal
thrown in with free fountain pen or
buggy whip!
Suppose some agent should come
TO you and say: Il understand you
have been eating good flour cost
ing IS barrel, and feeding your chill
dren the same high-priced stuff. Why,
sir, that's too expensive. You can't
afford it. Why here's a mixture Of
bran and spoiled corn meal, and I'll
sell you three barrels for SIS and
throw in a fountain pen free"' You
wouldn't take two minutes, we sus-
pect, to show that man the door
And yet, although food for the mind
body, there are farmers in every
neighborhood in the South who re-
fuse to use their own heads in Sc
lecting their reading matter, but let
some slick -tOngued agent palm off
on them whatever cheap, spoiled, un-
wholesome. unhelpful brar -and-chaff
mixture Of intellectual food he choos-
es to throw in with some fake pre-
MUM that, in most cases, isn't much
better than the paper it goes with.
Here is what we need to say TO
! farmers all over the South: You are
not paupcr in dealing with your
body; don't be a paupcr i'm dealing
with your mind. You don't buy the
| cheapest stuff you can find to feed
your body With; then don't buy the
| cheapest stuff YOU can find to feed
your mind with. If you are buNiug
mind-tood for yourself, you insult
your own brain hy iuUmatiue that it
deserves no better food; while i'm tn"
cas-" of ones boys and girls, doesn't
! - man dos"rE" prison stripes just as
much if no d,lin,ratyly etarvcs his
childrou's m.nl. ae ho would if hc dc

MAIL CONGESTION
GREA.TL Y FEARED

great increase come popular and
Legislative demand for more steel
cars and special equipment so that
the heads OF the great maFl-carrying
railroads declare they are now being
compelled. to carry the mail at a loss.
They say also that they are taxed TO
the limit to handle the mail under
normal conditions, and do not see
how the problem will be solved when
the increase of the Christmas busi-
ness comes.
In addition to the problems of
handling, most of the railroads claim
they are already carrying the mail
at loss since the establishment of
the parcel post. On many roads the
mail has not been weighed for a
number OF years, hence the increase
brought about by the parcel post Ia
not being compensated for by pro
portionate Increase In rate. The
Pennsylvania railroad is not so un.
fortunate in this respect as the mail
was weighed on this road at the be-
ginning of the year.
"A five per cent increase in the rate
was given by Congress when the
parcel post law was passed, but the
railroads say this increase is moi
proportionate to the actual increase
in mail. Eastern railroads are con.
sequently making a bitter protest tC
the government against what they
cali unjust treatment. and to thes'
the prospects Of the Christmas mai
problem is something OF an un
pleasant nightmare.

they failed. The present high school
team defeated them to the tune OF s
to 0 in fast game of football at
Union Park.
1t had been talked of as a game be-
tween the ''Has-Beens" and the New
er-Weres' but both teams proved that
the titles. thus given them, were not
deserving. The alumni team proved
that they were not altogether has
beens" and the high school boys
proved that they were right there with
the goods.
During the first two quarters there
was no scoring. the ball see-sawing
from one end OF the field to the other
with neither team gaining an advan-
tage. In the third quarter, the high
school team scored touchdown by
straight line plunging. Two more
points were added in the last quarter
when they scored a safety.
Harrison, Fletcher and Coleman
starred for the alumni team, while
Mcmillan and Hurst were the bright
stars in the high school lineup.
