The True Meaning Of Being
A Patriotic Citizen.

For the past two or three
years we have heard a great deal
about Patriotism. - All thru
the war the American people
were urged to be patriotic and
support their government. They
demonstrated, beyond a doubt,
the fact that they are the most
patriotic people on earth. They
made every necessary sacrifice
for winning the war.
Patriotism, literally means,
Love of Country. :" but it is
frequently used in referring to
other things in the sense of
loyalty. Doubtless, if we were
to ask our business men, what
we must do to be patriotic" they
would tell us to patronize home
industry. " If we should ask
our merchants, what we must
do to be patriotic" they would
tell us. Ito purIhase our mer-
chandise from home merchants
and not from mail-order houses. :"
If we should ask our bankers,
what we must do to be patriot
ic," they would tell us, to de.
posit our money in our home
banks and not in banks of our
neighboring counties" +"
The teachers of Jackson Coun-
ty High School wants the people
of Jackson county to investigate
their own school before any
other. We say their own
school," because it is supported
by every taxpayer of the county.
When the taxpayers of this coun-
ty, who have children to educHte,
send them away to school, they
pay double for their education.
Not only that, but we are sup
porting our neighbors institutions
instead of our own.
We take this opportunity to
say that the Jackson County
High School offers the full four
year High School course as pre-
scribed by the State Board of
Education. The faculty is COM
posed Of teachers of experience,
who naye..spent great deal OF
time in preparing themselves fol
their lines of work. Not only is
the literary work up 10 tne
standard, but to those who de.
sire to study music, we offer as
good instruction as they will fine
anywhere.
The County Board of Educa
ton and the faculty of the schoo
are exceedingly anxious for the
boys and girls of the county t
take advantage of the opportuni
ties offered them by the Count!
High School.

E. J. Weams, of Greene coun-
ty, declined to accept 800 from
Charles Heyes for Percheron
filly, foaled May |. The offer
was made August % The colt
was sired by a purebred Perche-
ron stallion. but its dam is a

The general price for colts

half the amount which Mr..
Weams refused for his splendid

Many farmers thruout the
State are reaping rewards from
the purebred campaign put on
last year in ten counties of the
State by the division of agricul-
tural extenfion. The campaign
reached two counties out of each
of the five districts in which the

inevitably follow in its wake

ter upon it only as a last resort
in national self-defense or in
support of some great principle
Of humanity.
Never has there been a more
urgent need for high minded,
great hearted, splendidly trained
100 per cent American instruc-
tors to drive home the vital les
sons that these times hold. New
er has the future of the nation
been so clearly committed into
the hands of the teachers. And
yet thousands of men and women
of ability who would prefer to
teach are reluctantly leaving
their chosen calling forced by
the hard necessities of their very
existence.
The teachers asks no largess
at the hands of fortune. We en-
ter our profession for service,
not riches. We invest years and
money in preparation for our
life work, and the knowledge
we gain is shared with others
who themselves use it to their
own profit, Then why shouldn't t
we by every right and in all JUS
tice expect a return that will
permit us and our dependents to
live decently and in comfort.
In every community reached
by the press, there are readers
of foresight, of vision, broad
minded men and thoughtgul
women who will see. perhaps
have long since seen the critical
and compelling Importance OF
this problem. We should direct
this appeal to them. We should
urge them to compare the salar-

wages of those who are doing
work of equal value. This woulC

What Successful Farmers Are
Doing in Other Counties.

D. d. Freeborn. of Washing
ton County, has made a wonder,
full success on a twenty-five acre
farm. He has done it by sys-
tematically rotating his crops.
and the growing of purebred
poultry.
The writer was privileged on
August % to go over the farm
in company with the owner.
We visited one eight-acre corn
to which had been applied twen-
ty-two two horse wagon loads of
poultry manure, and an equal
amount of stable manure. The
corn looked so promising that
the most conservative farmer
estimates that it will yield 80
bushel or l6 barrels per acre.
Near this is a one-half acre field
of red kidney beans, and a two
acre patch of corn which is fol-
lowing oats. Some other stub
BILE land is carrying a good crop
of cloyer, which makes pas
ture for his four dairy cows.
August Is Mr.. Freeborn sold
all of his hens at II cents
pound, and he has thoroly re-
novated his. poultry house with
one of the tar products applied
with a spray pump. He follow
ed this by scattering lime every
where.
j. seemed strange to find
poultry farm without a single
hen on it, but after we crossed
the creek we found AIS March
hatched pullets that have al
ready started to lay. and are
waiting anxiously to get into
winter quarters.
Mr.. Freeborn has selected his
hens for size as well as egg pro-
duction. and finds therefore that
when his yearlings and two year
olds, weighing upwards of four
pounds, go on the market, they
have yielded a profit over the
dollar that each has cost.
Supplies purchased by Mr..
Freeborn consists of meat scraps
oyster shells, grit charcoal, some
wheat shorts, barley, oats, egg
cases, filters and flats. On the
New York market last year ne
received an average Of 554 cents
, a dozen for eggs. During this
, year gross receipts were 81, $50
, from 1893 hens. He finds little
trouble in having his fowls pro-
, duce eleven dozen eggs.-$6. 80
per hen--the first year. Expen-
ditures per hen for supplies not
; produced on the farm, agproxi-
mate Sl.3O.
r Mr.. Freeborn is a keen-eye
$ Canadian. and has made a profit
a from a small gasoline matol
n driveu grist mill which he in.
e stalled on his farm.

THE TEACHERS REWARD.

making the Americans of tomor-
row are being treated with less
consideration than the janitors
who sweep out the buildings in
which we are employed; we are
earning, on the average. less
than the wages given to the
scrub women employed in the
public buildings of the United
States government. Normal
school graduates receive less sal
ary than street sweepers; high
school principals and superin-
tendents less than sectien fore
men; country school teachers less
for instructing the farmers
children than he pays his hired
man to feed his hogs.
In a certain town of Illinois.
for instance, the average wage
of fifteen miners for one month
was S2l7, while the average
monthly salary of fifteen teach
ers in the same town was 300.
In another town a miner, who.
was an enemy alien, drew more
than $1,000 last year. While
the salary of the high-school
principals in the same town was
S765. We welcome with all our
hearts the long-belated recogni-
ton that is being given to the
man who works with his hands.
We believe that this same work
ingman will be the first to join
with us in asking better pay for
those who teach his children.
No wonder there are fifty
thousand vacancies in the teach
ing forces of the schools. Nc
wonder the ranks are being filled
with weak men and immature
women who merely use the pro-
fession as a stepping stone tc
something better. No wonder
there are thirty thousand teach
ers in the United States who
have had no schooling beyonc
the eighth grade. Little wonder
indeed, that seven million schoo
children are being trained by
teachers, mere boys and girl'
themselves, who have had nj
professional education what
ever.
When we consider that 74.0O'
teachers of America are pait
an average salary of $500 year
when. moreover, we consider tn
fact that living costs have actual
ly advanced l09 per cent sine
the beginning of the war, there
by cutting the buying power o
the insignificant salaries in half
we can easily determine tina
