The Virtue of Opposition
Minneapolis Tribune)

1t is a good thing that men do not
all think the same way about things.
If they did, this would be very
dull, drab world. Indeed. it would
be world of slow, if any, progress.
Muscles are. at their best only when
they are used~regularly in testing
exercises.or in physical effort of one
sort or another, Minds grow listless
and flabby if they do not frequently
have jousts with other minds whose
processes are different.
It certainly is a good thing that
there is more than one political party
in a country, Two or more. parties
maize for progress, for keeping out
of ruts, for bringing: out the best
there is in the parties.
Explosives gain their force largely
because of the opposition that is pre-
sented to them. The bullet Of the old
rifle or shotgun used to go harder
and further when the powder. was
tamped in the barrel. Nature thrives
on antagonisms. The story of any
kind of art refers back to hard work
required to overcome difficulties of
execution 1t is true of music, paint
ing, sculpture and literature. BotE
the artist and the artisan develop be-
cause of the resistance which their
genius or talents encounter.

Farmers Urged to Secure
Maple Syrup for Home
(By the Associated Press

Washington, March THE sugar
shortage and the approach of sugar
weather" lead Department Of Agricul
ture experts to make the statement
that many thousands of American
farmers throughout region compris-
ing more than score of states, in the
Eastern and Northeastern part of the
United States, are overlooking oppor-
tunities to secure maple sugar and
syrup for home use, as we'll as for
sale, at very little cost.
While Americans commonly think
of the maple sugar industry as con-
fined largely TO circumscribed areas
in New Engiand and New York, there
are, as latter OF fact, many poten-
tial sugar bushes" in the region ex-
tending as FIR south as North Caro-
lima and Tennessee and westward to
northern Missouri, Iowa and Mime
. sofa, as well Sc IN Washington and
Oregon. In good season tree. Is
inches in diameter will yield sufici-
ent sap to make from one to six OTIS.
OF syrup, which in turn can be con-
centrated into two to 10 pounds of
sugar.
Discovery vas made by government
Investigators OF many groves of su-
gar NAPLES in North Carolina, one of
which is probably larger than any
now to be found in New England.
The owners, being unaware of the
value of the trees from the maple
sugar standpoint, had begun cutting
them for lumber at an average return
of less han $500 a tree. Last sea-
son, upon suggestion of government
experts, these groves were tapped and
yielded syrup that sold well. Reve-
lation of the potential value of the
groves induced the owners to plan
more extensive operations for this
spring.
This years flow of sap is expected
by experts to be more satisfactory
than last year. The maple sugar
and syrup industry is distinctly Amer
lean and offercs a good commercial OPP
portunities, government experts say,
for those who engage in its systemat-
ically. =

Looking Forward

A glance backward shows that dur
ing the progress of a great war, it is
best to cconscript labor and capital as
we'll as fighting men, if the nation is
to avoid the aftermath of burden
some debt, dissatisfaction and unrest.
Our lawmakers should learn lesson
from the past, for the fighting men
of the future will be enlightened on
this subject and will insist that every
individual firm or corporation within
the boundaries of the country, hear
a just proportion of the burden. A
government that can conscript its
young men with ruthless efficiency
but which cannot stamp out the war
vultures politely called "pfofiteers"
could hardly be termed a strong and

WHY HE LEFT THE FARM
Another Version of the Same Story
Which Beats ANY Editorial Com
ment We Could Make.

why did you leave the farm, my lad?
Why did you bolt and leave your dad?
Why did you beat it off to town
And turn your poor old father down?
Thinkers of platform, pulpit, press,
Are wallowing in deep Distress;
They. seek to know the hidden cause
Why farmer boys desert their pas.
Some say they long to get a taste
Of faster life and social waste,
And some will say the silly chumps
Mistake the suit cards for their
trumps
In waging fresh and germless air
Against the smoky thoroughafare
We're all agreed the FARMS the place
So free your mind and state your case
well, Stranger, since you've been so
frank,
I'll roll aside by hazy- bank,
The misty cloud of theories,
And tell you where the trouble lies:
l left my dad, his farm, his plow,
Because my calf became his COW;
/ left my dad-'twas wrong, of course
Because my colt became his horse;
l left my dad to SOW and reap
Because my lamb became his sheep;
I dropped my hoe and stuck my fork
Because my pig became his pork;
The garden truck that, made grow
Was his to sell, but mine to hoe;
It's not the smoke in the atmosphere
Nor the taste for life that brought me
here;
Please tell the platform, pulpit, press,
No fear of toll or love of dress r.
Is driving off the farmer lads
But just the methods of their dads"

FASTENED to him where they remained
until the end came and his body was
brought to his home at Doe Hill, V1rr
ginia, and Inferred beside the grave
of his father, Samuel c. Eagle, who
preceded him nearly three years ago.
Rev. C. w. Staples of Monterey, Vir-
ginia, preached the funeral in the
absence of the pastor of Mcdowell

The floral diplay. was large and beau

for him by his relatives, friends and
admirers.

who knew him both N Highland
county and in; Pennsylvania where he
spent, most of his time and was in
business during the latter part of
his life. ~
He was the oldest son of the late
Samuel C. Eagle and Martha J.
Eagle. and is survived by his mother
/. his wife, Mrs. Mary Lee Eagle, to
whom he was married on April 2,

Roy was a member of the South

died at peace with his fellow men.
and above all he died peacefullycwith
perfect trust in the Supreme Ruler
of the Universe and is now at rest
with the faithful and the just to re
main though all eternity.
1t is sad for his fond relatives and
friends, for none knew him but to
love and respect him especially sad
for the beautiful child who survives
him. Yet such is life. Man grow
eth up like child and is cut down."
He spent his days among us and was

has ever had in his employ. And
his body rests in the beautiful ceme-
