THE BOY OR THE HOG.

For some weeks now farmers all
over the State in the various coun-
ties will be fiocking to the local
fairs, some to exhibit to the public
the results of their efforts and others
TO see and observe and profit by the
results achieved by their fellows
Among the many attractions to be
seen at these fairs is the inevitable
big fat hog. His hopship usually tips
the beam at very excessive figures.
and we stand and marvel at the la.
Dor and patience it must have re-
quired to develop such swinish
perfection.
Then if we are thinking men our
thoughts will probably pass on to
wonder if the owner of this marvel
has sons of his own. and as to how
great an effort he is making to de-
velop them to the highest type to
which they are capable of attaining.
The hogs owner has been careful to
eliminate from it's progenitors all
that would tend to take from it's fun
and complete development Has he
been just as careful to weed out or
his own life habits and traits OF
character that would initiate against
the proper development of his son?
OFTEN we have seen a boy succeed
in life despite the shortcomings of
derelict father, and we have con-
tented ourselves with the simple re-
mark that the boy is a great i'm
provement on the father The trib-
ute is weak and paltry. Little do
we reckon Of the night the boy has
waged in order to rise above his sur
roundings and overcome his handi-
caps.
Environment is mighty and pow
erful for good or evil.
The greatest blessing a boy cam
have is parents who can point and
guide him toward higher things
higher heights even than those to
which they have attained.
At the risk of seeming to prea ch
we wish to say to the fathers of this
section that when YOU look upon the
big hog you have seen the ultimate.
Nothing further is attainable unless.
possibly, it be a little more of the
porcine perfection. But when YOU
look upon your small son, how little
you can see of the limitless possibili-
ties for good and i'll that lie in that
small mind and heart. and how your
care of him is going to mould his life
INTO almost whatever YOU may will
to make it!
Why not think less OF the big hog
and more of the small boy?

rious danger threaten either.

rlouS udHSeT threaten eltner.
One of the most commendable
traits of the old Sctoch highlanders
was their loyalty to their own clan.
Good or bad. right or wrong, the clan
had their first allegiance. The life
and service of each member were al
ways cheerfuly placed at the dis
posal OF the clan.
Try to imagine an entire State
composed of innumerable communi-
ties welded and cemented into a
symmetrical whole, each striving to
excel the others, but each, from its
OWE local loyalty, developing a
broader and deeper loyalty that
reaches out and embraces the whole.
Utopia, you say? By no means
Merely what could and would be the
result if we could only be brought to
see that we owe allegiance to our
own people. but that the prosperity
of others is in no wise a detriment
to us, but rather help: that if each
community would develop itself to
the utmost-physically mentally and
morally none would need be en-
vious of others, neither would any
need do aught to uetract from an
others interests.
Let us develop community loyalty
to the full--the highest possible
form of patriotism.
