mans nearly so much as it was his
fathers and mothers. A small boy
wished to become a scientific
farmer. His parents had a very
moderate income and explained to
him that if he desired to go to col
lege, he would have to earn the
money himself. Therefore, the
young man started to deliver mag
azines and periodicals in the Office
buildings in his city and saved his
money regularly. Seven years
later he entered an agricultural
college and the expenses of his
course were covered by the money
he had earned selling magazines.
A boy of thirteen began to raise
vegetables in his back yard, which
comprised half an acre OF land.
He sold them at a profit and saved
the money. Later, he borrowed
$500 and erected a greenhouse,
which he has since enlarged be-

These youths have started right
and will. in all probability, lead
lives of usefulness and be OF some

attain wealth. for they are not dis
regarding the uncertain future for

The wealthy, as a rule, are those

In this way their fortunes have

Thrift Is being taught some of
the mountain people of North
Carolina in such a way as to bring
returns on a large scale. They
have a natural industrial talent,
and in order to develop it school
was started to teach the men,
women and children basket-mak-
ing, pottery-making, wood-carving,
toy-making, weaving and needle
work. The products of this school
now find a large market in north
ern cities. and the people are
learning to be self-supporting, and
by their own industry and thrift
are learning the essentials of good
citizenship. One of these indus
tries is said to do business of
$4,000 year, and has become a
very important enterprise.
Out of the latent talent of these
people, rightly and wisely devel-
oped, has this business grown and
an industrious and thrifty "o'n-

WHY SILENT ABOUT ENGLAND?

Those of German birth in this country and whose
sympathies naturally with their native country are
disposed to crticise President Wilson what they are
pleased to call his favortsm toward England They
point out that he held Germany to strict accountability
over the sinking of the Lsana and the attacks on mer
chant vessels generally by her submarines and that he
has not been equally firm with England For this reason
they propose to show their condemnation by voting for
his opponent Mr. Hughes Of course that is their priv
Iege as American citizens but they will be wise to take
look at the situation with unprejudced eyes, and take
stock of the results should President Wcon be retired
and Mr.. Hughes elected
Mr. Hughes is on record as blaming the president for
not being severe enough with Germany in the matter OF
the Llsitana AS in other matters Mr. Hughes does not
say what he would have done but says all that President
Wilson did wrong because it was not severe enough
Supporting Mr. Hughes is Colonel Roosevelt who is still
more rabd in his attacks the president than Hughes
The colonel says he would have made Germany quit long
before she did and intimates ne would have done TINS
even if it required war to do 1t.
Aside from the German side of the question has any
one ever heard either Mr.. Hughes Colonel Roosevelt
crcse the president for not being severe enough with
England? If either has done it has escaped our
notice and that of most people. Why this silence concern
ing the presidents course with England The answer is
easy 1t is because Mr. Hughes is the candidate of Big
Business and Big Business is hand and glove with Eng
land and her allies because they making all kinds OF
money out of them Business has feelings no sympa-
thes It's arteries the channels OF trade and the com
of the realm its blood 1t hope for trade with Ger

them Hughes says the president has not been firm
enough with Germany while the Germans say ne has been
much harsher in his treatment of their country than OF
ENGLAND vet never word from Mr. Hughes or the re-
publican press as to this Do the voters of German birth
in this country anything encouraging in the event OF
Mr. Hughes election If so what?

1t is really too bad that this country cannot get into
war of some kind so as to give the editor of the Ore
gonan an opportunity to give vent to his boodthirsness
and wade around in gore Nothing short of that will ever
satisfy him. Here is one of his latest concerning Wilson's
nor-combativeness: 1T has done nothing which all its
abundant resources of evasion vaciaton and delay per-
mitted it to evade, and has sought always by the
arts of eocuon and letters to aay the usabe appre-
tensions of the country to que the natural and spon
taneous instinct and desire of the people to give their
sound Nationaism sturdy and effective expression.
What does or can he by that sentence but that he
thinks Wilson should have gotten the country into the
European war? How else were the people ito give their
sound Nationasm sturdy and effective expression?'
England France, Russia Germany, Austro-HungaIy and
nearly dozen other nations and have been for
two years giving their sound Natonaism sturdy and
effective expression" So far it has cost several million
lives and sadded debt the warning nations that will
take century of toll to get rid Of If indeed tins ever
DONE This is the example the editor of the Oregonian
holds up for Americans to pattern after example of
Sturdy and effective expression"
