JACKSONVILLE NEWS

Jacksonville? Why that's tiny
little sumner camp just about half
mile below Featherville where several
of the Mountain Home people are
camped, enjoying all the delights of
fishing and hot spring baths and cool,
fresh mountain air under the "sha-
dow of the pines" and all that goes
with the cool summer camp in Idaho.
M. w. Brooks and wife and Miss
Brown, who drives the big Chalmers,
have delightful camp close to the
stage road where the pines nod a
friendly welcome to all who pass by
and seeming to say this is dandy,
come and try place among us away
from the desert heat"
Mrs. Brooks received letter from
the Philippines from her son Lynn,
saying he would soon be on duty
near the capitol. Said he used to
think Grand View the warmest and
most undesirable place in the world,
but he would give all his old boots
to be located right in the midst of
Dan Latimores sheep corral fighting
mosquitoes. Said it was according
to his calculation 700 in the shade,
and a man would roast to death If
packed in ice. Perhaps this is a
trifle to the extreme, but boys away
from home, especially when that
home is in Idaho, are liable to be
extreme with all honesty. 1t just
honestly looks that way to them
F. e. Whitney who, with his wife
is camped here received weeks
visit from his daughter and sisterAin-
law, Mrs. Kathleen and Kate Col
thorp. They could not find words to
express their delight of the camp.
Mrs. Phelps Whitney has word
from her brother, Rev. Guy F.
Phelps that he reports for Y. nj. G..
A. duty in New York City the 18th
of the present month He will sail
imediately for France. Mr.. Phelps
is also a brother of Mrs. M. w,
Brooks and Mrs. Frank Colthorp.
Haying has begun around Feather
Vile. Foley Abbott, Sr. has a crew
of men at work in his fields. 1t will
take him about 25 days to put up
this cutting. r. Nordyke is also
busy putting up the hay on the old
Jackson place that is now owned by
Captain Winters, who owns the
wholesale and retail store in Feather
vile.

America and France

The descendants of the compatriots
of Washington and Paul Jones are fight
ing again side by side with the descend
ants of the compatriOts Of Lafayette
and Rochambeau.
The time and opportunity have come
for nation to pay a great debt OF
gratitude for service rendered in great

France the debt she long has owed. In
the Revolutionary war for the freedom
Of America, the French fought on Amer
lean soil under the command of an
American.
Today, in the war for the freedom OF
France, and the democracy OF the world
and against the autocracy of Europe
and TO prevent the invasion of America
by the Huns, Americans fight on French
soil under the supreme command of a
Frenchman-to save the freedom OF
France from a tyrannical invasion.
The hOnors are even. F>renchmer

The honors are great--to pay the debt
in France. The Americans have ALREADY

There Is Life Everywhere

If we stop to think we find there is
life everywhere. The birds fill the very
air; beautiful birds. Their life is full
of love for then young, and they are al
ways ready to twitter and to sing. What
a lesson to humankind!
The air is also swarming with in
sects full OF life and energy. They are
always busy, always at work. They
are never idle or listless. What a les
son TO humankind.
The waters are crowded with innu-
merabIe forms-living thfngs-animal
cules. SJme tell us that hundred and
fifty of them would not weigh a grain
on a sensitive scale.
And there are also whales whose backs
look like islands when they are simply
floating on the great oceans. The prime
val forests were crowded with wild ami
mails. They crowded so quickly that
the big and strong ones destroyed the
feebles ones-the survival of the flttest.
In the big seas the fish crowded un-
til the big fish ate up the little ones
the survival of the fittest
The humankind are also animals, but
they. have active brains. From the time
our brains begin to act, and move US,
like the wheels of a clock we must get
also another move on that will seize
our opportunities and make something
out OF them hiatt is worth having
worthy to live.
We know TINT the greatest desire
among human animals is to live long.
They have not been so careful to live
we'll The average man does not get
his desires for long life. Thousands
fail to measure with coed deeds. Tens
of thousands of humankind are short
livers because they allow RIGHTEOUSNESS
to destroy both physi- al and moral
health. Like the h srd of swine mention
ed in the New Testament their vices run
them down violently in a steep place
and their mortal and eternal happiness
are both drowned in the sea-
Human bruteS like other brutes are
allured by their appetites to final de-
struction. To the mateIialist it would
appear that war is the final solution
with human animals. Whether the earth
finds itself crowded and calls for the
survival of the fittest we may dispute
about, nevertheless it looks like the hui
mans (as distinguished from the brute
animals) reach place where they must
thin out the race. There is a faction
that is dominated by duty. The other
faction is dominated by desire. When
duty is i'm the majority, the country
progresses in the way of righteousness.
When desire is in the lead, then we have
wars and rumors of wars, and when
the wicked reigneth, the people mourn.

Your letter in which you seek infor-

Through completing this work you
are not awarded a diploma, but a GER
tifcate of standing which certlfies that
you have completed the requirements of
the one-year course satisfactorily One
situated as you are should easily be
able to take this course. You will find
it a most valuable year of instruction.

you mentioned in your letter would
probably have the equivalent, roughly
speaking, of a year and one-half credit
toward an agricultural degree.
The completion of the cotton grading
course is signified by the issuance of
certificate or rather card of identi-
fcation. stating that the individual con-
cerned has performed the work required
IN this course satisfactorily. Quite a
considerable number of men have taken
