IN THE SPIRIT OF LINCOLN

The local editor was stopped on
the street last week by a bright
keen-eyed young man who inquired
where he might find President Frost
On inquiry, he found that this
young man had walked eighty miles
from his home to Berea to enter
school. carrying Q heavy suitcase
Men of such energy and determine
ton are not met every day Of the
year. That thirst for knowledge
which led Lincoln To study by the
pineknot is not found in all students,
rs several members of the faculty
can testify. Within three hours
this young man had obtained a good
job, was settled in his room and had
begun his scholastic career in Berea.
The Citizen takes Off its hat to any
young man who. for the sake OF
greater knowledge, will walk eighty
miles and carry q heavy suitcase.
Nothing is too good for such ambi-
ton.

Dear Rev. Knight:
You will no doubt be surprised tC
hear Of my being in the service.
| am in the Ambulance Corps di-
vision Of the Red Cross.
AY. M. c. A. worker who has seen
service on the front lectured to our
Company a little while back. He
said that Bibles and Testaments
were so scarce on the western from:
that one man offered fifteen pounds
or nearly $500 for one. He said
that We would have splendid oppor-
tunities for personal Christian
work.
We will sail from New York in
about seven weeks. When | arrive
in New York | am going TO get about
a suitcase Of pocket Testaments and
take across the water. Those | will
distribute ESQ far as they go around)
among the boys at the front.
There are some very tough boys
in camp. There is only one other
boy Oh. A. Rice, who is a Berea boy
in camp besides myself who does
not either chew, smoke or swear.
Gambling was becoming quite a
common affair, but thank God the Of

COMMUNITY COOPERATION

Any American farmer who is
worthy of the name likes to be
associated with a good, clean,
up-to-date, enterprising business
town as his postoffice and trad
ing center. It's an asset to the
farming community to have
good churches, good schools, a
good commercial club, and good
business houses within easy
reach. The growth and prosper
ity and service which such a
town can render to it's country
neighbors depends much more
largely upon the farmers the1r-
selves than they are apt to
think. The more you trade with
the town merchant the better
stock he can keep. The more
you help out the creamery or
the cheese factory or the grain
warehouse company or the
grange or the farmers union, or
any other organization that is
helping out the town and coun-
try alike, the better town you
will have.
Your town is sure to have
some sort of a moving picture
show. 1t Is far better that you
should have a good, reputable
movie than a low-class picture
show. Farm fathers and moth
ers can exert a great influence
In the matter of clean amuse-
ments in the town.
If the town has, a public IL
brary, it can double its value and
efficiency by the cooperation of
the surrounding farming fami-
lies.
Ii the business men of the
town help out in the matter of
good roads, why should not the
farmers cooperate in town bet
terment7
The fact is that the rural town
is a farming town and depends
not only upon the production Of
the farms within its territory
for its own success, but this
rural is Of itself an index to the
farmers who live within its terri.
tory.
Community cooperation, com.
munity development, means that
the farm women join with the
town women as members of the
commercial club, as they do in
Garfield, Whitman county
Wash; it means a community
cooperation in caring for and
beautifying the local cemetery
as at Oakesdale, in the same
county; 1t means that the town
people unite with the farm peo-
pie in the community clubhouse
as at Oroville, in Okanogan CO.
wash; 1t means that the farmers
and the townspeople unite in
an institution of the annual pic
nic, as on the irrigation project
a few miles out of Caldwell
Idaho; it means that the towns
people and the farm people
unite in that marvellous institu-
ton, the children's fair, as at
McMinnville, Ore.
Wherever you find the farm
ers cooperating with the towns
people you have a good town,
and when you have a good town
you are pretty sure to find good
people living on the farms
around that town. You can not
build up a successful social life
without community effort. Good
stores, good churches. good
schools, good roads, good farm
organizations must have the CO.
