HAVE APPETITE FOR PRAISE
Everybody Graves Words Of approval
and eommsnt-Efect Of the Time
~ Kind Attention.

X is a human frailty to want praise,
We begin young to crave the approv-
ing notice Of others. "There is none
like to me, says the cub in the pride
of his earliest kill. But the jungle Is
large, and the cub he Is small let him
think and be STILL" Children brought
up in school can generally be told
from those who have been trained sol
italily, says a writer in the PhiIadel-
plda Ledger, for the children thrown
much with other children are less like
ly to develop arrogance, selfshness
and eoncelt. They do not find their
schoolmates in frame Of mind to put
them on d pedestal or crown their
brows with laurel. They are not re-
garded as little tin gods on wheels;
they are lost to sight in the shuttle Of
the classroom and the playground. No
body defers to their opinions; nobody
minds when they stamp the foot and
shout angrily.
Children of a larger growth often
crave an admiration which they do not
get. They think to draw an audience
by hnrping on the theme of self, and
they find that the audience for that
kind of recital is likely to be limited
to the performer. To knock the II"
out of ones conversation is not neces-
sarily to make it interesting. Many
times a narrative loses greatly in plth
and pungency by the impersonality in
which it is couched. A story Of adven-
ture greatly gains by the sense Of the
first-hand participation Of the narrator
in the incidents lie describes. When
the first person is introduced for the
sake of the edification Of the reader,
there need be no apology; when ii is
introduced for the glorifcation Of the
speaker, it is odious altogether.
A man must do his work as well as
he can, whether he is praised for it or
not. The taste Of publicity is likely to
be what the taste Of blood is to tiger
or lion; it whets the desire for more
of the same thing. There are some
who rarely do a good deed without
rushing to neighbor or newspaper to
let 1t be known. TO others the free
advertising" is abhorrent. They are
made happy by glowing conscious
ness that the right thing was done, and
that dissatisfaction of virtue is their
reward. But most of us have not
reached that lofty pinnacle whereon
we can abide sereneIy independent of
what others think or say. We want
kind word now and then to keep us
going. We hunger for appreciation,
even when we tell ourselves we are
not worth it. Who has not known the
lift q letter of encouragement, a SEN
tence of commentator, has BROUGHT
The day is brighter for it, and we feel
refreshed, renewed. Blessed are they
who speak In time the heartening,
quickening word.

FRIDAY, JANUARY is. 1918
HOG RAISING

The federal and state govern
ments are pressing the importance
of farmers raising more hogs.
The scarcity OF porkers this past
fall and the high price of meat
have brought about a serious con-
sideration Of the question. The
government is appealing to the
farmers to raise hogs. Banks
and other financial institutions are
being asked to assist in financing
the farmers in buying brood sows,
and in many counties such arrange
ments are being made.
Hog rallies are being held at the
county seats of the various coun-
ties Of this state, and hog experts
are meeting with the farmer and
giving information and instruc-
tions along this line.
\ Information is being obtained as
to the number of brood sows in
Carroll county, and the number of
farmers who would accept assist
ance, under reasonable conditions,
to take brood sows and give them
proper attention. This is a good
work and should be encouraged.
In some counties committees
have worked to ascertain what
farmers in the county have brood
sows for sale, and they will be re-
quested to bring them to some
designated place where they will
be sold. This brings buyer and
seller together at central place,
where the hogs can be seen and
purchased. This is not a bad plan
aad might work well in Carroll
county.

kerensky Real Diplomat.

Here is a Kerensky story told by a
man lately returned from Petrograd.
Kerensky was summoned from his ho-
tel after midnight to the headquarters
of the provisional government. A fell
low guest at the hotel met Kerensky
as he was going cut and, learning Of
the summons Kercnsky had received,
exclaimed:
Not another revolution, | hOpe"
II don't know" replied Kercnsky,
and hurried away.
The next day his fellow guest asked
Kerensky what had been the trouble
which had brought him out so late the
previous evening.
KerenslSy smiled.
II had forgotten to sign letter." he
replied.

We have heard many expressions
of pleasure at the action Of the
county court IN making an appro-
priation for the continuation of
the farm demonstration work and
the work of the home economic
agent. These agents are doing
efficient work, and by enlisting the
sympathy and cooperation Of the
young people. have given a dig
nifty to farm work that, in the es-
timation Of some people, it did not
possess. There is no more honor
able calling than that Of tiIling the
soil, ard ont few things more re-
mdneratiye. This character of
work will largely do away with
the leave the farm" idea that
some years ago was very popular.

Real issues

]
nessee has assumed a phase in the
eastern part of the state which will
be surprising to the people Of the
western part. Down here we did
not know that the fight was on.
The people of West Tennessee,
for the last three or four months,
have had a fair surcease from state
politics. There have been some
local vendettas, but beyond these
our people have been gradually
drawing together and concentrat-
ing upon the great issue, the war.
In East Tennessee a publication
supporting Gen. Gates, who has
not yet declared himself to be q
candidate, is assailing Senator
Shields on the grounds that he is
unpatriotic.
One paper has put Shields, Var
daman, Stone and La Toilette in a
class as opposing the president in
measures of vital interest.
The article is an assault upon
Senator Shields and the exaltation
of Gen. Gates.
1t is reported that Gen. Gates
may be a candidate against Sena-
tor Shields. 1t is known that oena-
tor Shields will be a candidate to
succeed himself. 1t is also reported
that Governor Rye may conclude
to run for the United States SEN
ate. The friends of Governor Rye
have not vet had a declaration
from him as to what he may do.
The race track to the senate is
broad. There is room for every
candidate. Running for office is>a
privilege of every American citi-
Zen.
Every man is given the right to
Judge as to his own fitness to run.
The people reserve to themselves
the right to declare who is fttest
to serve. But when the race does
come the issues of the campaign
should be serious and the charges
which may be made against vari-
GUS candidates should be based
upon facts and not upon personal
grudges.
The supporters of the various
candidates should have real rea-
son for their faith beyond the mere
glorification of their favorites.
If the fight is to be between
Gates and Shields on the ground
that Shields has not loyalty served
the president and his country 10
the great csisis, then the fight is
already over.
This paper holds no brief for
Senator Shields nor for Gen. Gates,
for Governor Rye, for Mcclellan
nor for anybody else, but when a
race opens up, if there are vital
differences between the various
candidates which reach as far as
good government and the we'll
being of the republic, this paper
never hesitates TO discuss them.
In the beginning of the war Sen
ator Mcclellan had an idea that a
volunteer army could be raised in
sufficient numbers to meet the de-
mands of the republic. Senator
Mcclellan further thought that if
the volunteer system failed then
the republic, as it had a right to
do, should, by lot. select such men
as it needed.
This paper believed in the uni
versal military selectiye system
from the beginning.
As we saw the problem, it was
big enough to demand the support
of every ablebodied young man in
America. We further thought that
the quicker we were in the sooner
it would be over with.
The difference between Senator
and The Commercial APP
peal was a difference as to method.
We never doubted the patriot
