Chancellor Colin P. Mckinney of
this ehancery division is a candidate
for the supreme court from West
Tennessee. From the very start he
will have the support of all who are
familiar with his record as chancellor,
for he has made good and proven him
self worthy of promotion. Chancellor
Mckinney is a young man of splendid
character and ability. He has had that
training and experience as a jurist
which coupled with his excellent quail
tines as a citizen,and his high ideals as
a Christian gentleman peculiarly fit
him for the great office which he seeks.

POOR CUss!

Do you happen to know a fellow,
who if you should ask him if he is
glad to be alive, would answer: "Well,
yes, guess so, but" and then would
follow a string Of pessimisms as long
as tape line.
We sometimes wonder if this man
feels any sense of gratitude to his
Creator or to his parents for bringing
him into the world
And then we wonder WHY they
brought him here.
He is the father of all pessimists.
He is the original propounder of the
query, as life worth living?"
The retina of his eye registers but
one color,-blue. Everything looks
blue to him. Gods glorious sunshine
is as lifeless to him as a moonbeam.
The very blood in his veins must be
composed of SKINNED milk,
You've seen this fellow mingle with
a joyous crowd when fun and frolic
were at high tide, and his presence
had an effect like unto that Of chem
zeal engine at a fire.
You've seen him enter a meeting
where enthusiastic souls were striving
to launch some movement of great So
cial and civic betterment, and the very
sight Of his face, to say nothing of his
pessimistic doubtings has acted like a
vet blanket on the spirit of those

EDUCATE MORE FARMERS.

1t is coming to be recognized as ;
most obvious fact that if we as a PEG
pie are to again put our country on al
equitable living basis We must edu
cate more farmers. Not educate more
farmer boys for professions, but edu-
cate more BOYS for FARMERS.
From the incipiency of the public
school upto within the last five de-
cades the entire trend of education has
been away from the farm and toward
the professions. Even the manual
training schools have tended to swell
the ranks of the mechanical trades at
the expense of the farms.
No nation can achieve permanent
prosperity without great and pros
pering farm class. When the farm de-
Gays the nation deteriorates. Our
farms are the very life and heart of
our country.
How can this be done? Simply by
teaching in every elementary school
the practical, happy side of farm life
along with literary work Bellies let
tiers is not the GROWING necessity of
existence. Meat and bread are. What
is most vitallyessential to our national
life should be a part of the culture ac-
Quired by every youth.
Nine out of every ten high school
graduates enter the ranks of the toll
ers in some department or other. If
in their education the farm has been
made attractive and they have been
given thorough and practical knowl-
edge of its workings, then a large per
cent of them will choose farming as
their occupation in life.
When war broke out between the
allies and the central powers the world
stood amazed at the wonderful per-
lection of the German military ma
chine. But the cause behind it was as
simple as A.B.C. Every German
youth has been educated and tr9TATS l1'
