It's with folks just as it is with horses:
they never do their very levelest best

And right now, Mr.. Farmer, right
now is about the last chance to get
your boy in the Corn Club or Pig Club

therefore, to sit down tonight-not

is willing to enter? Or else writa
quickly to your state agent whose name
appears in our Reference Special" and
has recently been repeated.
Anyhow get your boy interested in
farm work this year. Get him to read
ing The Progressive Farmer; study the
textbook on agriculture with him; give
him an acre of corn or a pig for his
very own; plan to have him make some
exhibit at your county fair this fall; ;
give him Saturday afternoons off for
baseball or fishing; and get him to join
the Local Union with you and go with
you to the farmers Institutes, the colt

1t is a good ambition to aim to leave
behind you the best farm in the county,
but it's better to aim to leave a son

that, the thing to do is to begin now
TO make real partner of him.

At the meeting of the Greater Hen
Jacksonville club last Friday night the
resignation of N. w. Miller, who has
served as secretary of the club since
January /, was accepted, effective
June 1.
In view of the fact that the treasury
has been drained by paying the secre-
tary's salary and mourning expenses
for advertising matter, and by reason
of obligations which it is now unable
to pay, no arrangements will be made
at an early date for secretary for
the reason that the club is not in a.
position to afford a whofe-time officer.
AS a result of past activities consider
able correspondence has to be answer
ed for the club and in order Ito take.

ed a monthly expenditure of s$15, II
necessary, with which its president,
Rev.. r. N. Wilcox will employ a
stenographer- to answer correspon-
dence.r In this way the interest of the,
club will be looked after and II it's
finances ever justify the expenditure
the club will doubtless seek a secre.
tary who is experienced in this kind
of work.
The club has record for achieve
ment of which it is proud and it will
continue to exert itself in behalf or
community progress.
\ Mr.. Miller will accept a position
with the Laurel Park Street Railway
company, with which he was associat-
ed two years ago.

PuLp1Ts LANGUAGE AND STYLE

Just at this time the preaching OF
the celebrated Texas evangelist,
"BiIly" Sunday, is attracting the at
tention Of the nation. His evangelistic
campaigns in the great cities have
apparently been notably successful;
and his sermons indicate brilliancy, If
not profundity, of thought and relig
ious feeling. 1t must, also, be said
that. he is sound to the core in his
orthodoxy and his startling ep1grams
are pregnant with quintessence of the
gospel. "Billy" himself appears to be
a very attractive and virile persanal-
ity: and in the judgment Of charity be
is a sincere and philanthropfc seeker
of souls. But alas! there is dead
fly In the ointment" His style easily
lends itself to adverse criticism. HAY
