"SCAREDNESS."

The fundamental error of the
advocates of scaredness' is that
they ask the country to plan for
possibilities instead of probabili-
ties. All things are possible, and
there is, therefore, no limit to the
amount of preparedness which we
need if we undertake to provide
against every imaginable contin-
gency. Suppose, for instance, that
we had a navy twice as large as
the navy of Great Britain, or even
twice as large as all the other
navies put together. That would
look like sufficient preparedness on
the sea, and yet it is possible that
a storm might destroy our superb
ority in a night. We might have
an army of 5,000, 900 men, all in
camp and under arms, and yet a
plague might destroy the camps
and leave us helpless in a week.
There is no reason why common
sense rules should be abandoned
merely because designing profit
seekers are able to scare people
with false alarms. Common sense
suggests that we consider probabil-
tiles only, no possibilities, and if
we consider only probabilities we
can not doubt that we are safer
from danger today than we have
been at any time before in half a
century. -Commoner.

A delegation of ladies from the
Dog Hill church called on the Hog
walIow Improvement Association
on Thursday night and asked aid
in the task of raising funds to
build the pastor hen house for
his own use. The Association, be-
ing like everybody else, was will
ing to help in every way it could
as long as it didn't cost anything,
finally voted unanimous vote of
thanks for the confidence the ladies
had in the association by calling.
The movement started by these
worthy and hustling ladies is wor-
thy of much unsolicited praise.
Why shouldn't the preacher have a
hen house? He must have chick
ems, and if he can't raise them of
his own, won't the congregation
have to stand the strain? We are
for advancement in all lines of en-
deavor, and the preacher should be
encouraged in his ambition to be-
come self-supp0rting.

coINoIo COLLEGE AREllclOus DUTY.

This was the topic discussed by
Headmaster r. w. Swetland at the
Y. M. c. "A. meeting Tuesday,
February eighth. It was very
instructive and forceful talk. He
said that brains are worth more in
market than muscle today, but
that one half of the world must
work and toll while the other half
dreams. He showed further that
man is not supposed to live by
bread alone! life is something
more than food and clothing, than
earning money. But even consid-
ering money as a life ambition,
statistics show that the average
salary of ignorant men is $3.50 a
year, for high school men 81, 600 a
year, and for college men $2, 600 q
year; so from a financial stand
point it is wise to go to college.
For any man who has an ambi-
tion to be great man in the
world, he gave these statistics. -
that one man out of every 10000
uneducated men rises to distinc-
ton, while one man out OF every
40 educated men rises to distinc-
ton. Therefore the chance OF en-
inence of an education is one IN
10, 900 while an educated mans is
one in 40. He pointed out, that
the men who really do things DO
them with brains. Egypt, with
great pyramids, has perished; ;
Greece with great masterpieces OF
art, is a memory; Rome, master OF
law and government, is gone, yet
a peasant born 1000 years ago, or
ganizing no campaigns, left no
written matter, and yet his infiu-
ence dominates the world.
Education is the training OF
ones powers to the highest possi-
BILE efficiency. If man wishes to
help the world along he helps him
self to train his powers by going
to college. No man has right to
waste time, and God demands that
we shall take our every power and
develop it to the fullest extent.
Especially does everyone expect
the prep school boy to go on to
college, and why not? Does not
he have the best preparation and
environment? Now is the age OF
development and call for leaders;
now is the world full Of opportu-
mites. -Peddie News.

PRINTED STATIONERY PAYS.

You are judged by the stationery
you use. Printed stationery is one
of the requisites for a successful
mail order business in livestock,
poultry, plants, etc. Picture to
your self man who has answered
your advertisement and your COM
petitor's advertisement, holding in
one hand your letter written on a
sheet from a fve-cent tablet, and
in the other hand the letter of the
other man written on neatly print
ed stationery-will you or your
competitor have the best chance OF
getting his order?
1t pays to name your farm, and
have the name and an illustration
of the kind of cattle and poultry
you specialize in printed on your
stationery. You can buy printed
letterheads and envelopes in small
quantities but it pays to buy two
or three years supply at once.
Your local newspaper will supply
you reasonably. Progressive Far.

THE BRIDGE BUILDER.

Contributed by d. J. Morrison, Pres. Of the
Jeif Davis Highway Ass'D.)
An old man, going a long high
way,
Came at the evening, cold and
gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and
wide.
The old man crossed in the twi-
light dim;
The sullen stream had no fear
for him,
But he turned when safe on the
other side,
And built a bridge to span the
tide.
"Old man., said a fellow pill.
grim near,
"You are wasting your strength
with building here.
Your journey will end with the
ending day;
You never again will pass this
way;
You've crossed the chasm deer
and wide;
Why build you this bridge at
evening tide?"
The builder lifted his old, gray
head
Good friend, in the path | have
come, he said,
There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass
this way.
This chasm, that has been az
naught to me,
To that fair haired youth may
pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twi-
light dim
Good friend, am building this
bridge for him!"

The gift is made in memory of the

monument that speaks louder than
stone or marble. The Mississippi
House has passed a bill, previously
passed by the Senate, providing
for the establishment of a tubercu-
losis hospital. Medical authorities
claim that the climate of our state
is we'll adapted to the successful
treatment of consumption and that
it is possible to reduce the death
rate to minimum. The anti-tu.
berculosis movement organized in
the last ten years, is having a
marked effect on the mortality Of

Mississippi's Legislature is en-

is on the verge of adjournment and
the States law against the carry
ing of pistols, guns and bowie
knives has not yet been repealed.
Our new national policy Of pre-
paredness' should teach us the ad-
visibility of being prepared to
fight on a moments notice. The
idea of a man coming down town
in the morning getting in an argu-
ment with a man and not being
prepared to kill him on the spot is
unthinkable and not at all in ac-
cord with the spirit of the times.
