BANKERS REALIZE THE
 VALUE OF PIC CLUBS
Encouragement of This Work Not Only Helps Boys But tn- creases Banks Deposits

The bankers in many states are realizing the value of pig club work as a means of mate rially improving rural condl- tions. according to club agents of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Not a few of the bankers have made 1t possible for worthy club mem bers to secure pigs on their personal notes. In this way well-bred pig is secured and the members can pay for 1t from the proceeds of the pig as meat animal or from the sale of offspring in the case of breeding animal. The member enters into a business agree ment (With the parents con- sent) with the banker, and is in this way relieved of the stig- ma of charity which is the re- suit when pig is given out right. This arrangement Is practical means of teaching business methods to the rural young people. 1t is also q char acter building process for 1t is but natural for a boy, when treated as a man, to act in manly manner.
 This apparent generosity on the part of the bankers is in many cases business aeumen. A case in point is that of a Tex as bank. The president of the bank placed 326 pigs among pig club members of his coun- ty. As a result of the acquain- taince made in securing and placing these pigs, many new patrons were secured. These patrons brought in over S75,- 1000 in individual deposits. Needless to say, but it is also a means that will increase with time in it's beneficial influence. One of the Texas papers states that the banker has laid the foundation for a prosperity which will be lasting. The boys that he has helped to get started in the hog business are now on their feet financially, and before many years they will be making big shipments of hogs to market each year.

Digging Their Own Graues

It is a sad spectacle to see { nation of people disintegratinl and wasting away through sheer inability for self govern ment.
 Yet that it just the condi. ton that prevails in Mexico and will continue until the United States assumes the bur- den, stamps out anarchy and brigandage, and places the re- public upon a substantial work ing basis.
 Kindness and loaves of bread will not avail, for the MeXicans themselves have clearly demon strated their utter incapacity for self government and their entire indifference to the high CT tenets of humanity.
 Intervention is not a pleas ant thought, yet each day seems to incline us to the be- lief that it will ultimately be- come the court of last resort.
 When human being is  drowning, the natural impulse of the heart leads others to plunge in and snatch the vic tim from the relentless embrace of the waves.
 And today a sister nation is sinking at our doors.
 Mexico totters upon the brink of it's open grave, and only the strong staying hand of the United States can save it from it's self inflicted fate.
 And that, 1t would seem, can be accomplished only through armed intervention and the es- tablishment of stable form of government.
 Just what is the American duty in the premises?

If we want the right kind of lasting prosperity in this eoun- try we must get a lot of people away from the centers of popu-
 lation and onto the farms, where opportunity awaits them. This business of rushing off to the great cities and depopulat- ing the farms is doing more to retard prosperity than all oth- CT causes combined. Any man .of common sense and a reason able degree of energy make
 a mighty fine living on the
 farm and be reasonably inde- pendent while so doing, while fully one-half of the popula- tion today is underfed because they are stagnating in cities where there are ten applicants for every job. Strikes, lockouts and other labor wars do not greatly affect the man on the farm, for crops grow on just the same and appetites do not decrease. The real greatness of this country will come when the land is more fully under cultivation and worked to bet ter advantage onscientific lines. |

In his row with the employees of the Hospital for Nervous Diseases, we don't know whether Governor Hays is playing politics or not. If he is, he is doing more than other governors have done and will do when they get the chance. It is so fashionable to cuss a governor these days that peO- pie actually engage in the busi- ness for past time, and ninety nine out of a hundred who cuss him the most vehemently don't know what they are cussin' about. The greatest trouble with Gov. Hays as we see it, is that he is not toadying to a lot of people who undertook to use him but fell down on the job. One of his recent great sins, according to the Arkansas Ga zette is his designation Of the Arkansas Democrat as the pa per in which applications for pardons must be published Stephens News.

We, the local public, are proud of our country and of it's achievements in the fields of agriculture and commerce. We are free of speech in sounding it's praises and in predicting it's greater successes of the future. But why eonfine our thoughts and actions to country? Why not think first-and hardest of our own community? Why not give our best thought and our most persistent efforts to the improving of local condi- tions and to a greater andmore profitable development of ad- jaeent farm lands? We honor the man who reveres and de- fends his country, but we give equal admiration and respect to the one who thinks of home as we'll as of country.

The National Liquor Dealers Association which maintains an expensive publicity department for the purpose of fighting prohibition, gleefully amour ces in flowing headlines in an sent out this week that "The nation drinks more Whis- key as the result of prohibi- tion!" Then what's the matter with the fool liquor dealers that they keep knocking on their best friends? The liquor dealers are in business to sell booze, and the more they sell the more money they make. If what they say is true, why don't the Simps quit knocking on prohibition. They ought to join the prohi's and help boost business.
