THE BOY wHO.CAN DREAM.

II is good thing for the far
mer boy to have an imagination.
It is q good thing for him to
''dream dreams and see visions. :"
II takes a dreamer to see the
transformation that intelligent
effort will bring to pass on the
old place. II takes a dreamer to
gee how much more deeirable
that place will be in ten years
than . job in = dry goods store.
II is a boy who dreams who
sees field OF thrifty alfalfa where
that stuntea yellow corn is grow
ing on the timber forty.
II is the boy who dreams who
sees those hungry looking cow
with burrs in their tails replaced
by herd Of dairy matrons tina
tax the capacity of the milk Cal
at every milking. 1t is the DO,
dreams who sees a waving cor
field where the cat tails ar
growing, who sees a woven wir
fence in place Of the old hedge
and a new barn where the COZ
shed IL falling to pieces.
We need more dreamers on th
farm.-Ex.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND
HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Many times we have wished you
Merry Xmas and Happy New
Year. At this time we greet you
once again with the hope that all
OF our readers and friends may
have the very best time during
these days Of joy and gladness.
May vehope that each of you
may properly observe this day
that commentaries the birth OF
the Prince of Peace. II was 1914
years ago that wonderful man
was born into the world. He
came OF humble parents; he did
not care for show, glory NOT
money. The things of this world
he cared not for. He came to be
helpful and while he performed
many miracles while on earth,
he healed the sick and opened
the eyes OF the blind he gave
comfort to the sorrowing and
even raised the dead-these, all
these were wonderful and seem.
ed 80 to those ancients in those
days. But that was not the greaI
work that Jesus performed.
His. work was the blameless
helpful life that he led and ths
principles. that he taught. Man.
kind has never seen his like
before nor since nor will they
ever until that great day when all
men shall be called to account
We should not forget his mission
of helpfulness and goodness
during these days. The days
should not be spent in carousals
but in deep thought and sincere
thanksgiving. We should start
in the new year with praise
and than. sgiving to him who has
given the example Of how to live
and has pointed US the way by
his own life to a life OF usefulness
peace and true success.
Let us remember those around
US who are not 80 fortunately sit
uated as ourselves. Let US lay
down malice and ill-will and
lend a helping hand to those who
may be in want OF the necessaries
of life or in any wise in trouble.
And when the days are over may
we all be well and may be able to
look back with gladness upon
these days dedicated to ths Prince
of Peace.

THE AGE OF UNREST.

There was a time in the past
when people could rest without
fear of losing step with the pro-
cession. but that was when a few
hundred years were only a frac-
ton OF q mans life. But the
Harvesting of lightning to mans
use has brought about a new dis
pensstion. Nothing is so near
perfection but what it can be i'm
proved upon, and from the era
die to the grave we are struggling
for progress or revolution.
The spirit of unrest pervades
every occupation and in the strife
to excel bread winners grow wea-
~ in mind and body. Instead OF
the old method of recuperation
by seeking rural quietude, every
jsded toiler that can raise a dol
lar goes tripping off to find rest
in some cnange Of excitement.
The year around, the railroads
are crowded with these restless
seekers CT rest. Whether change
Of place brings rest depends upon
individual temperament.
The rich man is just as busy
as the toiler for bread in strug-
Cling for ways and means Of pre-
venting stsgnation. Rest, when

THE WAR.

The bloodiest war since the be-
ginning of time goes on. While
authentic news as to just whist
has been done in this great
slaughter is impossible, yet we
are able to get enough to know
that thousands of men are losing
their lives in this contest where
millions ara engaged on both
sides. No one can guess the
outcome. Just what the final re-
suit will be is one of speculation
but one thing is sure: the map OF
Europe will be changer and
there is a possibility that many
crowns will be lost and possibly
q republican form of government,
will spring up where now the
people are ruled by a crown.
Another thing is certain: that
millions of capital will be totally
destroyed and the flower of the

STATE POLITICS.

The cool weather and bad roads
has caused the political pot to
quit boiling for a few weeks.
However, Lieut.. Gov. Bilbo is
contemplating going right on
beginning a few days after the
holidays and will u Pep up his
campaign until the election
closes. He has already spoken
in practically every county of
the state since July. but in these
speeches he has, in most instau-
ces, spoken to audiences at the
county seat. He expects to cover
the entire state and will put in
good time IN every part of the
state. 1t now looks like his ma.
jorioity will be even more larger
than his most ardent friends ex-
pected in the outset. Many OF
the leading men in fine state who
have never espoused his cause
before are row openly making a
tight for him. Just here and
there you will ind a man tina,
will have temerity to fight him in
the open but everywhere yor
hear the remark that no matter
what the enemies Of Bilbo ma,
do he will be elected anyway
They practically concede hi
election. Just what the othe
candidates can hope in view O
the outlook is more than tn
most far sighted politician ca
see. 1t not only looks like the
will all be overwhelmingly de
fested in the first primary but til
defeat will be so crushing that i
after years they can hope I
to overcome it.

Let US hope the cotton market
will be better after Xmas. Very
little of this crop has yet been
sold and this has made money
very scarce. However, il we had
the money for our entire crop We
would have plenty to make out

satisfied. We grumble when we
have SIS, 100000 bales even
though we get fifteen cents per

UNIVERSITY LETTER.
GREEK ART
BY Alfred W. Mildenf Greek Prof,

There are many points of con-
tact between the ancient Greeks
and ourselves. While the best
avenue of approach to a true sp-
probation ofthis people is. beyond
all questios. is the language itself.
which INST always. therefore. be
open to shly a comparatively limi-
ted number. there is. neverthe-
less. one attractive avenue which
stands open alike to those who
arg proficient in Greek language
asd those who are not, | refer to
die student of Greek Art.
It is becoming increasingly ca
sy for those who are not within
reach Of the actual remains of an
cient art to pursue profitably a
course of study in clubs or litera-
ny circles, by means of the excel
lent Photographic reproductions
that are now available in books
and pamphlets published at but
slight expense. We are now rea-
ching an age where art galleries
in which can be found plaster
casts of many of the copies, if not
originals, of ancient masterpieces
are beginning to multiply. 1t is
hardly necessary to add how much
ones appreciation Of art will be en-
HANGED and his enjoyment stimu-
lated when it is his good fortune
to visit an art gallery.
Greek sculpture ought to appeal
to people generals. as it did in an
cient times. for it is a faithful re-
fiectioDcf the life. the spirit: the
aims, and the aspirations of a Gull
tured race. We can see in j. the
Greek love Of things as they are,
the hatred OF all sham or pretence,
the ceaseless struggle for perfec-
ton, the quest of immortality. the
conquest of barbarism and igno-
rance, and the superiority, during
the undegenerate days of Greece,
Of soul to sense.
BY way of practical suggestion
! would recommend the purchase
Of such books as Ta,bell's History
of Greek Art, Richardson's Greek
Sculpture. Powers The Message
of Greek Art. Any If these will
stimulate an interest in this live
subject. The new illustrated
magazine. Art I'D Archaeology,
published at a nominal cost. will
help to keep one in touch with cur
rent progress. The Illustrations
are excellent and the scope #
the publication is wide enough to
interest a wide circle of readers.
