Can good boy come from such sur
roundinSS? Decidedly yes Not only
do good boys, but some of the best
boys, come from such. quarters Priests
who have to work in the poorer quar-
ters of our big cities know we'll that
in the very midst of degradation and
vice pure hearts are often found, inno-
cent lives, sturdy, virtuous characters,
shielded by Gods grace and strength
ened by the sacraments of His Church.
Comparatively few Of the younger
boys are bad; even the older boys are
seldom downright vicious or eVil-mind-
ed; but their ideals are low because
the public opinion of their neighbor-
hood is low, and the grip of passion
often masters them and spoils them
before they awake to it's awful force.
Many of the younger boys could be
easily protected from their own mar
row ignorance if only they could en-
joy some such experience as did Frank
last summer.
There are many Franks in every
large city. They are hungry for the
untainted food of soul and heart that
fills the very air in the country few
miles from their dingy smoky homes.
A few months, a year, five years in
even the ordinary farm house-What
revelation to the poor little fellow
imprisoned all his life in the dingy
walls of a tenement or a flat. The
good, slow, plodding farmer gazes list
lessly at the fields, the barns, the gar
den, and can see no attraction in them
save the promise of the money good
crop will bring. What can boy of
twelve or fifteen see to attract him
to such quiet, out of the way place?
Such may be the thoughts of the far
mer or his wife if ever it is suggested
that they give some boy a treat of
country life.
But the boy, what of his thoughts?
Let him come into such quiet home
and the very air is laden with I'M
counted messages for him. The wealth
OF beauty and purity becomes his very
own. His soul as we'll as his body
grows and, ten chances to one, he will
teach the quiet farmer a new appreci-
| alton for the advantages he enjoys, a
keener delight in the charm of coun-
| try life.
Such reciprocity has already been
tried i'll small way by the city mis-
sionary of Minneapolis. The results
have justified him in making an effort
to extend the plan more widely. When
he is satisfied that he has found a
good home for a boy, he feels that he
can generally supply for such a home
a good boy from the ranks Of those
| belonging to his classes. 1t is not to
every country home, however, that he
is willing to entrust such boy. 1t is
only after he has reliable information
about the genuine practical Catholicity
of q home that he will consider the
placing of boy there. 1t is in such
a home that the rearing of boy be
comes an act Of true Christian charity
In such Catholic home the training
| given to mind and body and character
will have its roots in religion and its
fruitaSe in the sturdy citizenship, the
honored integrity, the supernatural.
virtue of the future man.

A PRACTICAL CHARITY

For all of his friends had not been
bad, and all of his knowledge had not
been picked up in the streets and al
leyways. The priest had taught him
that his soul was more precious by far
than the biggest jewel in the rich
shop window, and that it's radiant
beauty could be furnished only by sin.
He had been taught how to go to con-
fession and had, during the previous
year, been prepared for his first Com
munion. He knew his prayers and
said them with faithful regularity
morning and evening" He knew that
some Of his companions would steal;
but he had learned that this was sin
full, that, whether detected by the DO
liceman or not, such an action was
well known to God, whose punishment
was more dreadful than the penalties
Of judges or superintendent.

NOW THE CRISIS IS. HERE
. A, c. LAVENDER

This great Nation must rouse ltr
self for mighty struggle Tor llo'
erty and orr greatest safety lies IN
food production and the saving OF
the waste products
Tennessee and the South is to
be strong they must have food.
If this country is to be strong
she must be we'll fed and have an
abundance to sustain those frie nj,
ly people who are even now hght'
the battles for liberty and democ-
racy.
TO our business men we would
urge that if seed is short 1T is their
duty to canvass the situation like
patriots and get the se"d for farm
ers. Arrange the credits. Furn"
ish farmers with seed corn, soy
beans, COW peas, velvet beans pea
nuts. etc., at cost, See that all
things necessary to help farmers
are done, You must do your part
and cooperate with the farmers
They must do their share and tend
to the crops faithfully.
Farmers, it up to you in your
unions, clubs and other organlza-
tions to use the best methods now.
When the nation faces crisis we
must have the best farming in its
history, the best tools and all labor
saving devices must be used to
make it possible for every farm la'
borer to cover as much ground as
possible and do the most efficient
work.
The farmers wives and daugh
ters have an important work to DO
in the garden, the orchard, Il .
dairy, in raising poultry, and es-
pecially in canning, preserving and
conserving our food supply.
To the farmers we would say
look to your County Agent for
counsel and advice in this new bur-
den of extra production.
Let US forget all past difficulties
and join in a grand and mighty ef-
fort to feed the South. What can

Value Of College Education.

Dean Holmes of the Pennsylvania
State college, after spending months
gathering statistics and reducing them
to orderly form, has discovered that the
money value of four years at college Is
$4,000, or a financial return of $1,000
for every year so spent. Dean Holmes
investigations reveal the fact which at
first seems little dlsconcerting to the
advocates of university training. that
the average earnings Of bachelor Of
arts amounts to $1,1S7 a year, not
quite $25 week. But the situation
brightens for the colleges when we
learn that the average earnings Of the
noncollege man are only $51S-not $40
a week. The difference between these
two sums is $685. and since the aver
age man lives 80 years after leaving
college, his financial reward for four
years Of more or less arduous under
graduate toll Is evidently something
more than $20,000.-Worlds Work.

FARM BY-PRODUCTs OF VALUE
Missouri Agricuiturist Sells Contents
Of One Automobile and Ono
Wagon for $3.50.


We learn from the Cape Girardeau
Republican that a farmer of Millers-
vile. that county, drove into Jackson,
the county seat, the other day carrying
In one automobile and one wagon by
products of the farm which sold for
$3.50 ,nsh, says the st. Louis Repub-
lie. The by-products consisted of wool.
feathers, poultry products and garden
truck.
Time was when the average farmer
would not have fooled with any OF
these products except wool, consider
Ing them good only for use by the
women folks in trade at village store
as, indeed, they were.
But the world is calling for the prod
ucts and by-products Of the American
farm as neser before. The farmer who
neglects the call and allows things to
go to waste for which there is an ac-
tive cash demand is the one who will
still have mortgage on his place in
stead Of a tractor and an automobile.

PLAYED THE SECOND VIOLIN
Lesson Drawn From Incident In Life
OF Student Which Showed Disre-
GARD of Personal Ambition.

In a recent issue Of the Record Of
Christian Work there is brief memo
rial of splendid young life that car
ries so great a message that 1t may
well be sent on to other lives. old and
young alike, says the Youths Compan-
lon.

strong, gifted and popular. His death
-he was drowned while skating-was
shock and a grief to the whole
school. On the day when his funeral
was held in his own home, memorial
service was also held at the school. He
had been prominent In athletics, but the
student who spoke of that part Of his
life had bigger thing to tell than the
record Of his prowess: he spoke Of his
| unfailing Christian courtesy.
"He was never heard" he said. ito
kick against the umpire's decision"
Another told Of his willingness. cour-
tesy and pluck in doing the humblest
dutles-a combination of qualities
worthy of consideration. Many persons
do humble tasks. hut how many bring
to such tasks all the courtesy, the
study. the enthusiasm, that they would
bring to larger duties? It was that
same spirit of enthusiastic service and
utter disregard Of personal ambition
that shone In the incident that made
the deepest impression of all. 1t was
told by the leader of the school orches-
ira, one of the teachers In the music
department. The student whose men,
ory they were honoring was a good
musician, one of the first viollns In
the orchestra. Not long before his
death he had suggested that the work
Of the orchestra would be greatly i'm
proved by an increase in the number
Of second violIns. AS everyone knows.
the second violins merely furnish
background for the first violins-there
Is very little opportunity there for star
work. Yet this boy, planning for the
thing that should mean the greatest
efficiency for the orchestra and the
greatest service TO the school, made
his suggestion to the leader, and at
the same time proposed that he him
self should play second violin instead
Of first.
The brief, young life, so soon ended
here. had learned~t the secret of great
living. He could leave no greater heri-

SPREAD BEAN RUST ON VINES
Wisconsin Plant Disease Specialist Of
Wisconsin College Gives Some
Timely Advice.

Farmers who understand condi-
tions In the spread of bean rust or
anthracnose, as It IS termed, never cul-
tivate or walk through the field while
the vines are wet with rain or dew"
This is the Information given by r.
F.. Vaughan, plant disease specialist at
the College Of Agriculture, University
Of Wisconsin. When the bean plants
are dry there is less danger of brush
ing Off the tiny spores which spread
the disease.
The bean anthracnose, in common
with one or two other spot diseases Of
garden beans, is most successfully con-
trolled by careful selection Of healthy
seed. Owing to the greatly increased
acreage of beans In Wisconsin this
year 1t is highly important that grow
ers become familiar with conditions
which affect the crop. Spraying is of
little value In controlling the disease
under field conditions.

CALF AFTER SKIM MILK AGE
Animal Should BE Kept Gaining From
Birth to Maturity--Give Heifers
Some Grain.

The problem of caring for the dairy
!'elf is by no means solved by the end
Of the mild-feeding period. The animal
should be kept gaining constantly from
birth to maturity If good growth is to
be expected. Calves are frequently
well cared for up to four or FIVE
months Of age and then given little at
tention. If good growth is to be Sc
cured, beifers under a year Of age re-
lulre grain In addition to hay or pas
ture.
Since the condition cf the heifer at
pasture Is not so closely observed as
wien in the stall, the heifer beyond the
milk-feeding period Is mere likely to
be neglected during the summer when
on pasture than during the winter
months.

RAT-PROOf BUILDINGS
Plan Given for Construction Of
Crib and Granary.
Metal Strips Prevent Rodents From
Climbing Higher Than Lath--Leave
No Openings Around Doors
Large Enough for Mice.

The accompanying sketch shows
one method of construction for rat
proof crib and granary which is to be
separate and apart from other build
ings. The wire cloth or metal lath
should have no meshes wider than
one-fourth to three-eighths inch. Either
Stats or boards may be nailed outside
the lath. The metal strip prevents the
rodents from climbing higher than the
metal lath. Care must be taken to
see that no openings are left around
the doors large enough to admit mice,
writes Il. w. Ives In Ohio Farmer.
If one-stOry structure is desired,
building IS feet square and 10 feet
high to the plate will hold 500 BUSH

BLAME MOLES FOR INJURIES
Real Miscreants Are Small Animals
That Follow in Runways-
Skins Are Valuable.

Although complaints Of damage done
by moles are frequently heard. the real
damage is often done by small animals
that follow the moles' runways and
damage corn and other seeds. The
mole itself lives very largely on earth
worms, white grubs, beetles, spiders
and other insects. They very rarely
eat seeds. In recent years, this little
rodent has assumed a commercial inTs
portance as a fur bearer. and there
are now more than 100000 mole
skins sold annually at the great Lon
don fur sale.
