In the nature of each of us is a
fine grain of conservatism that makes
us like that to which we are accus-
toned, that which is familiar and
known to us. The strange, the un-
known, the different strike a certain
terror to our hearts and we are in
awe Of what we cannot understand.
And it is this dread of the unknown
that is at the root of all the cruel
prejudice nation feels for nation and
race for race.
I am going to quote from a letter 1
have received from a girl who has
bitter pride and is ashamed Of 1t and
who feels the aloofness OF prejudice
and criticizes herself for it--and yet
who is not quite able to rise above her
feelings.
II am much in love with a man, and
yet am not willing to marry him. Can
YOU show me how to conquer my feel
ings and be happy?" writes Alma j..
81 come from light-haired northern
race, and his is a southern nationality.
I have a feeling Of superiority that 1
hate myself for having. And yet he is
more of a gentleman than my other
friends, and is better educated and
more refined. But some of his ways
seem queer to me, and / can't quite
make up my mind to stand the smiles
of the friends who are of my own
people. But 1 never knew a man so
fine and worthy of love. His is of
Spanish descent and l am Of Nor
wegian blood. I love him and I am
ashamed of my love, and in the next
breath am ashamed Of myself for
being ashamed. What shall 1 do?"
My dear Alma, do one of two things.
Either say to yourself, "I can not
dream of marrying this man. / am
one of the narrow minded, easily
prejudiced people, who can see no
good in anything that is at all diff
ferent from the customs of the mar
row little world in which they have al
ways lived and moved, and in which
they priggishly choose to stay for
ever. 1 came of those whose horizons
never change. l like only that to
which am accustomed.
81 have not sufficient strength of
character to stand the criticism of
people who will ridicule me out of the
notion of accepting what l really
want, and then will offer me nothing
in place of that which they influenced
me TO resign. | am not strong enough
to make my friends judge fairly.

Importance OF
Poultry Shows

Nearly 1,500 poultry shows are
held annually in the United States
and Canada. This alone is signifi-
cant of the importance OF these ex-
hibitions and they are growing
more and more popular.
The advantages of such shows
are too numerous and obvious al
most to mention. First of all, they
stimulate an interest in poultry
raising and elevate the standard.
The public at large attend them
and become interested. and thus
thousands of poultry raisers have
been created. Next weeks article
will tell much about these shows
and their influence.
Look for il appearing exclusively
in the Harrisburg Telegraph.
