THE COUNTRY BOYS CREED

| believe that the Country which
God made is more beautiful than
the City which man made; that life
out of doors and in touch with the
earth is the natural life of man. |
believe that work is work wherever !
find it, but that work with Nature
is more inspiring than work with the
most intricate machinery. | believe
that the dignity of labor depends
not on what you do, but how you
do it; that opportunity comes to a
boy on the farm as often as to a boy
in the city; that life is larger and
freer and happier on the farm than
in town; that my success depends
not upon my location, but upon N.Y.
self-not upon my dreams, but upon
what I actually do-not upon luck
but upon pluck. / believe in working
when you work, and in playing wher
you play, and in giving and demand
inc square deal in every act OF life

EXPLAINS ORIGIN OF "JAZz"
At Last the Secret ~ Is Given to the
World, and by an English
man, Too.

Writing about the jazz reminds me
that the subject is # such Importance
that a long cablegram was recently
sent from London concerning the ORR
gin of the word According to the
cablegram, the secret Is out, and it is
an Englishman who gives us the valu-
able information.
He tells us that. while Englishmen
should not be held responsible for the
vernacular of their brethren in the
Western continent, the word jazz, he
admits, is now as much a household
word in England as in America. And
then he goes on TO say that the word
came from the South and from the ne
groes. Now in the South, he tells u.s.
there is germ known as the hook
worm, which affects all true southern
ers. Some unkind employers call 1t
s1oafer-itis." The white employer, ac-
cording to the erudite Englishman, in
the South has many thousands. of ne
groes working for him, and conse-
quently many overseerS. So, not being
able to remember the names of all his
foremen, he generally names each man
Jasper, which, according to this Eng
lishman. is a term of the highest es-
TEEN. Through the very human love
of abbreviation, Jasper became JAS"
and as the overseer's principal means
of getting work out of his underlings
is through harsh and abusive tongue,
he was often requested to "Jass up
the work The Southern drawl makes
"Jass" sound like "Jazz." And there
we have the word itself. And jazz
music, no matter what classic-loving
critics may say about it, at least in
spires energy. Hence the derivation.

More Ministers Needed.

It is from the families of the farm
ers and from the parsonage itself that
new preachers come, according to
survey now being taken by the Ameri-
can education department of the inter-
church World Movement. The farms
lead. The survey shows that out OF
every thousand pupils who enter the
first grade of our American schools,
only 3S enter college and only Ia re-
main to complete the course.
1t is from these IA that the churches
recruit the great majority of their
ministers. 1t is also disclosed by the
survey that it requires about 5000 new
men every year merely to replace the
gaps in the ranks of the ministry at
home.

TRAVEL IN GOOD OLD DAYS.
Description of Journey Made in Early
SOS Recalls the Hardsh;ps of
the Pioneers.

The hardships of pioneer life IL
Wisconsin during the early SOS are
wildly portrayed by DR.. John G.
Reeve, in an article entitled, "a Ply
stefan in Pioneer Wisconsin," in the
Wisconsin Magazine of History, pub
lished by the State Historical society.
The difficulties involved in the prac-
tice of medicine in country almost
devoid of roads, and with only the
necessaries of life, and with practical
iy no money, are related by Doctor
Reeve, who practice9 in a small vii
Iage in Dodge county. OF journey
made in January, 1852, he writes:
/, "Called to Cleveland by the critical
Illness of sister, l left home on q
Sunday morning in sleigh, a pri-
vate conveyance, and reached Milwau-
kee, about so miles away, that night.
From there on runners to Chicago.
Thence some 80 miles by Michigan
Central railroad, and then by vehicle
across to the Southern Michigan, at
that time building from Toledo to Chi
cago. The appointments of the road
were not yet made, so several times
the train stopped, the passengers
alighted and chopped fence rails to
make fuel for the locomotives. From
Toledo, on wheels, to a point on the
railroad from Sandaslky to Cincinnati; ;
think the place was Gallon. / reached
my destination just at dark on Satur-
day night. / had travelled during the
whole week, passing but two nights in
bed"

Possibly He Had.

AS I was passing yard where some
children were playing I saw a little
fellow fall from a high porch rail. He
did not move for minute so l ran to
his assistance, but when / reached
him he jumped up on his feet appar-
emily unhurt.
"Why, my dear little boy" I said,
ST felt sure you must be hurt. I am
sure should have been had had such
q bad fall"
ooh. but you see," he said in expla-
nation, 1--WE probably had lots more
practice in falling than you."-Ex-

No Cork Wasted Now.

The best cork has hitherto come
from Spain, but the richest forests Of
fair grade cork are now in Sardinia.
High prices are now paid for cork that
was not salable few years ago, for
even the refuse is valuable now in
making conglomerate for building and
for insulating refrigerators, cork being
the best non-conductor Of heat and
sound.

1--WE mus at once set about the de-
velopment of a system of agriculture
which will enable us to feed our peo-
pie abundantly, with some to spare
for export in years of plenty, and at
prices which will insure the farm
er and his family both financial re-
wards and educational, social and re-
ligicus living conditions fairly conf
parable to those offered by the cities.
A sound system of agriculture can
not be maintained on any other basis.
Anything short of fair return upon
invested capital and fair wage for
the labor which goes into the crops,
and enough in addition to enable the
farmer to maintain the fertility OF
his soil and insure against natural
hazards will drive large numbers OF
farmers to the cities. Senator War

The failure of some ex-service men
as candidates at the recent primaries
is the subject of considerable pointed
criticism in several of our exchanges.
In our opinion it indicates that the
''vets" are using commendable
Judgment in voting their own con-
victions instead of blindly following
a prejudice. Ex-service mems or
CARNATIONS are not dabbling IN
politics, and the members will vote
their belief in the man and his fitness
for office; not for his army record re-
gardless of their belief in him. 1t is
a sound policy. None of the candi-
dates were selected as such by the ex-
service men. If they should put ur
an acceptable man as their own can
didate we believe there would be 8
creditable showing of unity, but that

OBITUARY


y y 81 = -
On Wednesday morning atSs 10
Mother was called to rest by the God
above who rules us all.
She was the wife of Jarvis J. Jones
of futile, Ky, and had gone to Sid
ney for her health, where she had
four brothers and her mother living.
She started there May 9Th, 1920,
and little did we think when she left
so cheerful that we should never see
her again alive.
She took double pneumonia at s
in the morning, May 26th, and only
lived until $40 that morning. All
that willing hands could do did not
help her and Mother is gone but she
is walking the golden streets. She
had been a cripple for over three
years and was so anxious to go west
for her health. For days before she
started she talked of her trip and
how she would walk soon.
She leaves husband, two children
Myrtle and NJ. b., also five step
children, John C. and Whitney, of
Mississippi; Fred, of Kansas; Shelly
of Ohio; Della, of Kentucky; a moth
err, five sisters, six brothers, and a
host of relatives and friends.
Her life was so full of good deeds.
She was so kind and such a good
Mother to us all.
Shelly. Della, Myrtle and NJ. b.
were at the funeral but the others
could not be here.
! Our hearts are broken over her
death and home is broken up but
we have to bear these things.
The crowd at home on Saturday
night was estimated to be nearly four
hundred and at her funeral at Rob-
inson nearly one thousand. Every
one was SO kind to us in our sorrow
and have shown so much sympathy
and respect for our dear Mother that
we can never forget any of our
friends. She wrote us a letter on
Monday that she was feeling better
