premium and also exacts its discount.
The son of good father and an affec-
tionate mother. brought up in an at
mosphere of parental regard, never
will disgrace the family.
The boys of today are TO be the
men of tomorrow. The destinies Of
the American people are TO be in the
hands of their sons. If the boys are
taught respect for the law both hui
man and divine, obedience TO author
ity, manly independence and the fear
of God, this great nation will be a NO
BILE monument to mans capacity for
self government and self control at a
time when all the world is seething in
a cauldron Of unrest, unreason and
disbelief.
Teach your boy TO rule. but first to
rule himself.
The home that possesses a cheerful
wife and mother is not only verit
able haven of rest, but the safe har-
Dor whose beacon light will guide her
bread winners safely past all rocks
and shoals with unfailing certainty.
The woman whose cheerful spirit can
take that brave attitude toward life
that enable her to bear courageously
the inevitable burdens of her life's en-
vironment: that strengthens her deter
mination not to fret or worry those
who, for her sake, are fighting the
hard battles in the world has reach
ed that attitude that proclaims her
price above rubies; and her influence
and example are not felt only within
the limits of the four walls she has
made the unassailable bulwark of
state and society. a happy home. but
reach to those she knows not OF.
Philosopher and poet are alike in
the verdict that the safety and perpet-
uity OF any nation lies in the homes OF
its people.
1t is painful to read the PARTICULARS
of the numerous divorce suits that fill
the columns of the daily papers. Many
of these sad events are from good
homes and the interesting parties
stand high in social life, and not a
few in church life. This separation
between husband and wife is one OF the
sad scenes in human existence. Many
tunes either would prefer death to
this unhappy parting. For years they
have lived together and their lives
have been blended into one. They
have learned by bitter experience. as
the years have gone by that they are
not suited to one another and finally.
in a moment of discord or passion. the
silken cord has broken and they sep
arate forever. Let us hope that in the
world to come. when they can all see
things palmer than they do in this
life they may be visited again. but
there is a probability that unhappy
marriages resulting from unsuited po-
sitions, will not result in union or hap
piness in this world or the one to come.
What God hath Joined together let
no man put asunder."

THE HOME CIRCLE
AND IT'S INTERESTS.
Column Dedicated to Tired
Mothers as They Join
The Home Circle at
Evening Tide.
In Unity There IS strength.

Go back in history of cities and
communities as far as you like, and
you will find that harmony was the
keynote of success. Nothing has ever
been achieved by adverse criticism
and sectional disputes. You may not
like the cut of my coat and may not
like your hat, but there is no reason
why we can't work together without
picking and digging asd nagging each
other.
Some OF the sweetest dispositioned
children have been irredeemably spoil
ed by continual fault-finding. Prob
ably there are some people with con-
siderable tact who can tell US of our
glaring faults without getting our III
will, but such are few and far between.
More can be done for this communi
ty by upbuilding it than trying to tear
down the existing structures, even if
you don't like the color of the paint,
or as old sailors say. the "cut of his
jib."
We all want this town to succeed.
We want more permanent residents
and more live boosters. Those who are
here are doing all they can. but we
always welcome new blood and new
ideas.
We may not be able to get all we
want. but one thing is certain. that If
we don't go after things, they will
never come after us. Working in har-
mony. we can accomplish great
things. We do not need to attend the
same church or vote the same ticket
to be at unity in doing things for our
home town.
