No Need for Hysteria.

Young men who are now going OF to prob
able war are leaving behind dependents. This
is inevitable II Is also inevitable that these de-
pendents be provided for. Many employers are
generously arranging that the volunteers who
leave their service shall be carried on the pay
roll for definite length Of time, until the neces-
sary readiustment Of the soldiers affairs can be
made. Comprehensive plans for assisting those
who need it will be worked out in good season.
People are not likely to allow the soldiers family
to suffer for want Of necessaries. Just now q
revival Of the Relatives union, or some similar
organization Is in order. The work Of looking
after soldiers dependents can be quietly and ef.
fectively accomplished through such an ofganiza'
tion, and the duty Of the public to It's defenders
thus discharged No need for excitement or hys
terra Of any sort is apparent, but orderly method
to meet the need should at once be set In motion

Working Out Our salvation.

Are we needless generation, incapable OF
appreciating the meaning Of the great processes
OF evolution in operation about Us, or do we
realize that the world is breaking away from much
we looked upon as established and immutable,
and that those of US who survive will emerge
into an era Of newer, and maybe better, social
and political adjustment? This thought is not
new; it has been uttered in many forms during
the last three years, and through all the wide
range over which the resultant discussion has
pursued the idea, one steady note has sounded
The race is working out a new phase OF its sal
vation. Ideals which embody principles funda-
mental in themselves and essentially necessary to
correct human relationship are coming into
clearer view.
Natures ways are easy to note, but dificult
to comprehend. The emergenee Of continent,
the subsidence Of another, the disappearance Of
an island, or any Of the many physical changes
we continually note, are readily explained by
application Of our limited knowledge OF creations
laws We marvel for moment and 80 on about
our business unmindfui Of the fact that similar
laws afe working in society, and have so worked
from the very beginning Of things. Wars may
be merely the projection on a more pretentious
scale OF Inc petty uiHetehSss tnst Astse VSs"Ss.i
men, but they are evidences Of divergence OF
thought and purpose, and Of the constantly cpef-
atins processes that tend forever to change.
From the apparent evil Of the moment always
has advance proceeded Just now mans achieve.
ments are being tested on the anvil Of Destiny,
and whatever Is worthy to survive will survive,
it's fiber more closely welded because Of the
pounding Il sustains, and therefore more fit for
the newer life into which ii will come from the

physicians. They did everything
known to modern medicine and the

HAMPsHIREs ARE THE HOGS

r. w. Blackjack, county demonstra-

C. Stone, secretary of the National
Hampshire association, congratulate
ing Marion county upon the selection
of the Hampshire hog, and saying
that the association will back the
county to the limit in its project.
Speaking of the pig club boys, Mr..
Stone says: SHOULD any boy be so
unfortunate as to not come up with
good luck, after be has expended an
average amount of care and diligence
TO produce the best, we will help him
over his difficulty and get him as far
on the road to success as his compe-
titor may have attained with the same
amount of diligence"
The National Hampshire associa-
ton will this year offer 500 in prem
iums to the pib club boys of Marion
county, and If as many as so hogs are
ordered the association will guarantee
at least $500 in premiums for 1917.
And this is in addition to the S25
which the Marion County Fair Asso-
citation has offered for pib club prem
iums this year.
eve viii select for you good
quality of breeding stock and see
that they are as uniform as it will be
possible to select" says Mr.. Stone.
sI want to ship carload by freight

at is possible that I will ship some
yearling sows in this consignment. IL
some boy purchases one of these
sows it may be contended that he has
something better than boy who gets
gilt about year old. This you cam
not determine until after the sows
and gifts have narrowed. It will be
my intention to ship all immuned
stock. viii get them from several
different lines of breeding and bred
