made good investment from the
social side.
There is no penacea that will
cure the yearning for city life evil
denced by the country boys and
girls of today, but there are certain
conditions, which, if established,
will add materially to the attrac-
tiveness of life in the country, and
should therefore prevent them
from focking to the cities merely
to avoid lie on the farm. 1t is not
to be expected that every person
reared on a farm will desire to fol-
low farming as life work, nor is
it necessarily desirable that they
should do so. Many of the boys
will feel calling to one or anoth-
err of the professions, and it is
probable that if allowed to follow
their bent they will be far more
successful and contented than if
overpersuaded to stay with the
farm. The problem is not to force
the boy or girl to remain on the
farm, but to assist them in every
way in making an intelligent choice.
Their choice can not possibly be
intelligent unless they are familiar
with farm life under its best condi-
tions.-E. B. Mccormick, Office of
Public Roads and Rural Engineer

The evening is the hour when crafty

The evening is the hour when crafty
Satan breaches most elOquently.
1t is also the hour when he can
gather the largest and most at
tentive audience. In our great
cities Satan's churches are crowd
ed every evening. But, fortunate
ly, the evening hour is also the hour
in which the good angel can gather
the largest audience and he who
battle Satan's influence must. preach
in the evening. The evening is the
hour when the protesting power OF
home is greatest; it is the hour
when its protection is most needed

'lt's only mother; anything will
do for her" If the words are not
often actually expressed, the
thought is too often acted upon,
And yet if we stop to think, COM
mon decency tells US that only the
best is good enough for mother
that her devotion, which SURPRISES
all other love, is deserving Of the
deepest respect and affection, and
that to forget her is the blacklist
and baScat crime That man car
commit.

The place to take the true mea-
sure of a man is not the market
place or the amen corner, not the
forum or the field, but at his own
fireside. There he lays aside his
mask and you may learn whether
he is scamp or angel, king or cur,
hero. or humbug. We care not what
the world says Of him-whether it
crowd him with jewels or pelt him
with bad eggs, we care never Il
copper what his reputation may be.
If his babies dread his coming
home and better half swallows her
heart every time she asks him for
II fve-dollar bill, he's a fraud of
the first water, even though he
prays night and morn till he is
black in the face and howls halle
lujah till he shakes the eternal hills

The price of folly is great, but
the penalty of timidity and procras-
tination is even greater. And we
are paying both.

CLIPPINGS FROM the
sNAGT0WN T0RCHLIGHT

JOuu Oh Oiutt, Jig tiV'N PoN-
dler, has decided to come through
Snagtown about every eight days
instead of going around through
the Peavine Ridge community, he
having put all the clocks in that
section in good running order. lie
says so perfect is his knowledge
of clock that he can take one
that is in perfect running condi-
ton and find something the mat
ter with it.
A large sized crowd was out to
hear the Wild Cat preacher not
withstanding the good weather.
The Torchlight is late this week.
Theodore Edsall, the postmaster,
says the government notified him
that there was new counterfeit
$40 bill in circulation and we had
to suspend all other business to
inspect our roll.
The Torchlight desires to correct
a typographical error which oc-
Cured in last weeks paper. In a
headline which was written: "The
Masses Meet Again." the intelligent
and discerning compositor made it
read: "TheM asses Meet Again"
The old miser, who some time
ago buried his money in a mule
collar, has dug it up and hid it in
Rattlesnake graveyard where he
knows everybody is honest.
The town was in darkness last
night on account of Little Fidity
Flinders having eaten the postmas-
ter's supply of candles.
George Bean read an entire pat
ent medicine advertisement through
the other night before he realized
what an awful risk man runs
by getting sick.
Jimmie McManus is making an
ideal husband, contrary to predic-
tons made when he married again
last year. He has cleaned off a
nice place on the bank of the creek
for her to do family washing and
in order to be ever near her, he
has picked out fishing place right
across the stream.
II. c. Denton came to Hogwallow
yesterday morning and after rest
ing while on the front porch,
bought fifteen cents worth of bo-
logna sausage. Farmer AL Williams,
an old friend, came up and hest
tated, but Mr.. Denton did not rec
ognize him until the sausage was
all gone.
The mail carriers watch has
been left at j. f. Cross blacksmith
shop, where it is undergoing ex-
tensive repairs. Mr.. Cross is fast
gaining notoriety as a machinist.
III. c. Denton reports that there
are several frogs missing from
his pond.
Daddy" Kirk has been in the
habit of carrying two full jugs
around with him to keep himself at
all times balanced and upright.
But no Wednesday morning, just
before he crossed the footlog at
Gander creek he stopped and took
a big one, and that missing drink
pulled him into the creek.
They say the farmer feeds the
world, but he gets it back on them
when he eats in town.
Sam Wexler has two cisterns al

Leonard Boulton, Of near Bound

son. lie has christened him Moline,

The widow woman, who lives
near the old persimmon tree in the
Peavine Ridge neighborhood, was

great.
Over in Servia the folly of hal
witted dupe of Inscriptions plot
tiers resulted in the assassination
of worthless archduke. THAI
shot, conceived in hatred and exc
cuted in the blindness of folly, has
plunged half the world into tn,
bloodiest and most gigantic war OF
all history. IL is devastating the
fairest spots of Europe, making
millions of widows and orphans
prostituting humanity, and trans
ironing land of peace and hap
piness into the mire of misery and
degradation. Paying the price of
folly!
Mexico had ruler in the person
of General Porfrio Diaz. lie was
man of blood and iron, whose
simple word was a law unto itself,
but he ruled wisely and well, or
as much so as could be expected of
any man in that illiterate country.
His country was prosperous and
laws were reasonably enforced.
But folly crept in Francisco Ma
dero headed a successful revolu-
ton. The old warrior president
fed to Spain and death, Madero
was proclaimed president, and was
promptly deposed and murdered by
the minions of his chief general,
Huerta. Carranza and Villa join
ed forces for the overthrow of
Huerta, but the United practically
forced the Indian dictator to for
sake his bloodstained laurels and
flee the country. Carranza became
the ruler and Villa promptly turn
ed his guns against his erstwhile
friend. Now Carranza is about
at the end of his rope, with defeat
and assassination as his probable
reward. Mexican soil is soaked
with blood, and the ground is
strewn with the bones of its fallen
sons. Had Diaz been left in
peace the country would have con-
tinued to prosper and develop and
grow, whereas today it is barren
with the ashes of decay. Paying
the price of folly! -
While the warning factions were
operating in northern Mexico out
RACES upon American citizens be-
come so serious that President Taft
sent our tiny army to the border as
warning to all evil doors. He
committed the error of stopping
the forces at the border, and the
warning went unheeded. Condi-
tons became worse, and the heri-
tage of our timidity is the con-
tempt with which Mcxicans view
everything American. Mr.. Wilson
became president and failed to al
ter the mistaken policy of his
predecessor. Anti-American demon
strations continued, Outrages upon
our citizens became more frequent,
and eventually eliminated in an
American expedition being landed
at Vera Cruz. a salute to the
American flag was demanded of the
Mexicans-and was never given.
The American troops were soon
Withdrawn without accomplishing
any results other than to increase
the contempt of the Mexicans for
the American people and the Am
erican army. Villas horde raided
across the border and shot up Co
lumbus, n. Mex. General Pershing
was dispatched across the border
with orders to "get Villa dead OF
alive" 1t was the first sane order
since the day Taft sent the troops
to the border and committed the
folly Of stopping them there. But
Pershing was hamstrung with dip
lomatic red tape and official timi-
dity, and his expedition is a failure
Now other raids have occurred,
our citizens have been murdered
and kidnapped, Funston has de-
manded $4,000 National Guard

1t would be poetic justice to re-
quire Villa to dig his own grave.
But it is doubtful, however, if we
could keep him in it.

SEVERAL REASONS.

Reasons why Japan and the United States will not have a war are published by the Japan Society which maintains an office in New York. To the Jingoes who are preaching fear of the Yellow Peril these reasons are referred. They are as follows:

 Four thous and five hundred miles of inte ..vening ocean.
 lnadequ1 4te and slow tran sporta- ton; diff lculty of obtaining coal and wat .er
 Jap ans inability to obtain finan- eial backing from the European tSuntry.
 Fear of a combination of other pow ers that would eject Japan from China; China an important market.
 Difficulty of landing troop: against submarines and moderr coast defenses.
 Would hinder industrial develop ment, Japan's chief concern.
 Fear of allenaticn n of Great Brit ain as an ally
 Japan depends on the United States for best gr ades of cotton fo her very important cotton weayinl industry.
