What Are Your Children Read
ing?

One of the greatest things that
can come to the growing boy or
GIRL is a desire for wholesome read
ing matter; and, once this desire is
created, it is a sacred duty to see
that only the best is furnished the
child. In this day of literary trash
and dirt this is not easy. Many pub
fishing houses are perpetrating stuff
en- the public that should be barred
from the mails-stuff the very
cheapness of which makes it all the
more likely To fall into the hands
of the book hungry boy and girl.
Now by good literature we do
not necessarily mean the ponderou-
classics, the slowness of Dickens
and Thackery, or the tediousness of
others for whose works taste
must be acquired. The boy of the
present day is normally a creature
of red blood, AID his literary food
must abound in action and GO"
Anything else he is apt to regard
as medicine" and he is likely to
look upon it and take it as such
only when ne has to. The first es-
sential in creating a desire for good
literature is intrrest-gripping in
tcrest from beginning to end. Given
a good clean story, full of whole
some adventure, and the farm boy
will read it with delight and beg
for more. Henceforth the problem
is not how to get the boy to read,
but how to direct his reading that
interest may be sustained, that
nothing unclean may come In his
way, and that gradually there may
be created taste for the more dlth'
cult, but at the same time thought
stimulating, works that stand among
the worlds best literature. PRO

When Neighbors Help Each
Other.

1t is worth a great deal to have
neighbors who are willing to ex-
change hopeful greetings and when
assistance and encouragement are
needed to help cheerfully. This is a
test Of good citizenship and it is an
indication of a desirable community
in which to locate.
No community can be progressive
and the individual members Of So
ciety be contented and happy with
out a neighborly feeling OF mutual
help and cooperative enterprise.
Country life is different from city
life in that there is an independent
sentiment existing in the country
because in so far as food production
is concerned each can take care OF
himself better than the town man
who is more dependent upon 9TH
ers. Yet in the rural community the
prosperity, health and social enter
course of all are mutually interviewer
so closely that cooperation is es-
sential. Usually there is more visit.
ing. more personal interest, more
moral obligation resting upon coun-
try people than upon those who
live in cities and towns. Rural peo-
pie are neighborly, not because it is
profitable, but because it seems a
duty. This is commendable, but CO.
operation should include ways and
means of getting more profits from
the farm. Cooperative selling IS
very essential.
There are many ways in which
the cost of production may be re-
! duced by cooperation. Just as
members Of the cooperation and
partnership firms must associate
themselves together and each give
up certain points of individuality,so
should organizations of farmers
! for such associations and combine
their resources in money and intel
! lect to surmount difficulties in pro-
ducing and selling their products.
In buying and selling much is gain
ed in cooperative enterprise and
from this sentiment the community
is elevated in better schools, better
roads and a general social and NOR
al tone which is. sure to follow.

careful attention to temperature.
and in addition must be screened
against the fly that sucks them to
death, or else be sprayed continu-
ally.
And yet the public thinks very
often that peppers and egg ought
to sell for twenty cents y hundred,
or thereabouts. The florists and
greenhouse men charge from twen-
ty to forty cents dozen for them.
And they are worth it. So also are
very early, stocky tomatoes, which
must be grown under glass in South
Carolina. Sweet potato plants,
which can be grown under glass
very early" are also worth more
than seventeen and half cents a
hundred, and so a.e the feld-grown
potato plants, for that matter.
Buyers and growers alike may as
we'll look at the matter inteligently
and for mutual interests try to aim
at some uniformity of prices. An
amateur may hit the seasons and
other conditions right the first time
he tries the plant growing stunt
and work off his plants at what he
thinks is fine price, but men who
have been through season of al
most total loss understand how such
things must be adjusted by Law of
averages.
So growers, and gardeners, too,
should come together on an under
standing, that plants must he of a
uniform standard, be packed and
delivered in guaranteed good or
der, and that prices, especially on
retail orders, should be as nearly as
possible uniform.
Now that the Government per-
mits shipping of plants by mail at
very low rates the whole State is
practically on an even basis so far
as accessibility to market is con-
cerned. So one locality has no
right to charge more, nor less, than
another locality for the same grade
of plants, except, of course, that
home raised plants, fresh from the
soil are ssaturally in better eo9dis5
ftion than those which aaye been
shipped a hundred miles, and should
bring a slight premium over the
slipped plants, instead of being
sold for less, as is often the case.
All which is respectfully submit
ted to the big growers of the low
country, and the middlemen and
little growers Of the up-cou untry
alike, for what it is worth.

Continuation of Thos. E. Watson
Exposed.

Charge by T. w. Watson: That
medical missions are an instrumen-
tality for making hypocrites out of
heathen. )"
Answer by Mr.. Harris: Medical
missions are contributing their part
to this Christian kingdom-b building.
Christ set the example of minister
ing to the sick. Twenty-four of his
thirty-six recorded miracles were
of physical healing. All that had
any sick brought them and got
them healed. SO our hearts beat in
unison with the great heart of
Christ when we do not pass by on
the other side those countless suffer-
ers in non-Christian lands or shut
our ears to their cries of agony.
Pages could be devoted to the
unnecessary agony, physical de-
formity and death as the result of
The ignorance and superstition of
the Oriental quacks who minister to-
the sick. The medical missionary,
with his scientific knowledge of
medicine and surgery, is winning
his way into the heart of the Orient
BY his skillful treatment of its dis
eases and accidents, and wherever
he goes he carries with him the re-
ligion of Christ, So that heathendom
has come to associate all lofty things
with Christ and to learn the truth,
which some people IN this country
are slow in learning, that the gospel
was intended to save men both for
this life and for the life to come.
that Christ came to establish a.
kingdom on earth as we'll as king
dom in heaven.
DR.. w. II. Park, who has charge
of the Soochow hospital, where
many thousands of Chinese receive
treatm ent annually, has a medical
class from which students are
graduated after five years of study,
nearly all of whom become Chris
tians, and who are beginning to fill
the responsible positions in
China. This and other hospitals are
exerting an untold influence for
Christianity through these native
Christian physicians who are part
of their products.
