JUDGE NOT-LOvE AND SERVE

I'm more convinced each day of nv life that we should absolutely refuse to judge other people. We are all so different in Thought, experience and environment, and should not ask others to accept our ideals. We must love people for what they are and serve humanity in the best possible way. Perhaps l had best make mv- self yet more clear by saving: viz should not JUDGE, but LOVE and a Letter.

GALE, HELD FOR DRAFT
 DESERTION, ASKS WRIT
Seeks Transfer of His Case From Army to Civil Court and Re-
 lease on Bond.

San Antonio, Tex, May 20.- Linn A. E. Gale, held at Fort Sam Houston on charges of draft desertion, entered a plea for a writ of habeas corpus here today in federal court, asking that his case be transferred from the Jurisdiction of the army court to that of the civil court and that he be re- leased on bond
 His case is similar to those of Tom and Joe Caplis, who recently were re- leased on bond of $6,O00 each, the court ruling that the mailing of notice of being drafted did not constitute actual induction into the army and that the cases were subject to civil jurisdiction.

Herbert K. Wilson BIames Gov. McRae
 for Much Harm.'


 Little Rock, May 20.-Commission- CT Herbert R. Wilson of the State Highway Department is expected to arrive today from Washington, where he has been for several days in the in- terest of the highway program.
 Considerable interest attached all over the state the the developments in the controversy between Mir. Wilson and Governor McRae over the appoint ment of MT. Wilson of Frank Maloney of Kentucky as State Highway Engin- eer. to succeed V. P. Knott. The gov ernor and members of the Highway Commission are opposing Maloney, while Mir. Wilson has made the state ment that he will insist upon his ap- Pointment. In an interview given out in New York by Mir. Wilson he de- clared that much harm had been done by unjust criticism of the states high way program and attributed to per- sonal and political enmity on the part of Governor Thomas c. McRae, the recent attack" that had been made upon the system. MT. Wilson defend ed the good roads program and de- clared that every bond that had been or would be issued is good. He de- nied that the road tax is excessive and said the total tax has been about 36c an acre, and in many districts as low as Sc or 19c, which is not higher than that in other states and is lower than the tax in many states"

IcoIILD SEE TIT WAS A FINE TOWN

'.This must be fine town, with 8 strong spirit of cooperation between it and the surrounding farms. I've never been there, but I'd like to go.
 This remark was prompted by glance thru the columns of one of the best country weekly newspapers pub lished in the United States, a paper which radiated progress, good will and prosperity, and unconsciously has come to be the best advertised medium it's community possesses.
 It is successful because it serves the community faithfully and reflects in each isue the life and work of the largest percentage of it's readers. Service to the community cannot be accomplished by an editor alone, how ever. He needs the help of the farm CT and his family in several ways. Among these are:
 By subscribing to the paper.
 By writing the editor or visiting the office occasionally with items of in- terest, intelligent criticism, or praise for good issues. This shows interest and lets the editor know that some one is watching.
 By advertising livestock, poultry, produce, land or purebred seeds.
 By placing orders for job printing, such as bills heads, letter heads, busi- ness cards and public notices in the home printing office.
 By telling merchants and profess sional men when their advertisements in the home paper are effective.
 By helping the editor to secure and keep alive, accurate correspondents in each neighborhood in the community.

THE REAL SUCCESS.

It isn't power or wealth or fame; It's holding fast to an honored name; It's doing right in the face of sneers; It's putting might in the place of fears It's helping others to happiness
 That means successi Not always crowned by a laurel
 wreath, It may be held by the man beneath Who's shabby and yet has the inner
 glow Of the eyes that see, and heart to
 know That it's serving your fellow amid
 the stress
 That means success! --G. c. Bostwick in Peoples Nigga zine.

A Mans Job.

fA uAHnS JUL. It's a man job to be cheerful
 In the face of grief and care; Any weakling can be fearful
 And victim of despair, But 1t takes a man to swallow
 All the bitter in the cup, And to live for what may follow,
 Without ever giving up. It's mans job to be kindly,
 It's a mans job to be true. None can shut his eyes and blindly
 Try to journey this life thru And not see the wrongs about him
 Or the hazards in his way; There are times when fate will fiout
 him
 And his feet will go astray. Not in fools and craven creatures
 Are the worthy virtues found. Not on blank and lifeless features
 Do the cheerful smiles abound: He who to his best is living
 And for truth and honor stands, And IS cheerful in his giving, Has mans job on his hands. To be kind and thoughtful ever,
 To be strong in times of need, To put all your best endeavor
 In an effort to succeed. And to fail and keep on trying. And not lose your cheerful ways, Is job, there's no denying,
 For real man, nowadays.

SUPPLEMENT PASTURE
 WITH GRAIN RATION

The story of three Texas pigs car ries lesson for Arkansas hog grow CTS, points out T. Roy Reid, livestock specialist, Agricultural Extension Di- vision, University of Arkansas. It has long been known that hogs make the most rapid and profitable gains when on pasture with a grain ration to supplement the pasture, and to demonstrate this, three pigs called "Tom," Dick" and Harry" were fed in different ways at the Texas ex- pertinent station.
 Tom" was fed milo chops soaked in skim milk and allowed to graze on a mixed pasture of burr clover, ber- muda, nut and crab grass. He weighed 24.5 pounds at the start, was fed this way for 180 days and then weighed 330 pounds, gaining an aver age of 1897 pounds daily. He made profit of $11.62 for his owner.
 Dick" was placed in dry lot and fed milo chops soaked in skim milk between feeds. He weighed 27 pounds at the start and was fed for 180 days and then weighed PIT pounds, having gained 1.38 pounds per day. The profit from feeding him way $6.39.
 Harry" was placed in a dry lot and fed milo chops soaked in water for period of 180 days He weighed 305 pounds at the start and 94.5 pounds at the end of the 180 days only gaining an average of .52 pounds per day. The loss from feeding him was $022.
 Milo chops are similar to corn chops and similar results might be expected from feeding corn chops This demonstration illustrates: l. That grazing pigs on pasture along with a grain ration makes the most profitable gains.
 2. That protein supplement suct as skim milk is profitable.
 3. That dry lot feeding without { protein supplement is not profitable

RivaIling Babe Ruth.

M AIRY LAND is feeling quite pleased with her-
lVl self and according to the Baltimore Sun has
good reason She has a good roads system said
to be unequalled by any other State. The autoists
of Washington concede this, and would take equal
pride in the fact if Maryland would but recognize
District license and not single out District as
objects of her frugality by compelling them to also
pay for Maryland licenses Most States realize
that they gain in indirect financial benefits by free
ing their highways to the OF all motor cars
from other States, far than the amount of the
license fee.
But Maryland has not only good roads with
which she is maybe little selfish, but she has a
model budget system. Certainly this is a second
great cause for congratulaton. But even more re-
markable is the most recent achievement of admin
istrative reorganization. States which have
plished this-they mighty few-have right to
plume themselves They have overcome an amount
of political prejudice and political senterest which
has baked the same effort in score OF States.
The hardest reform is one which will unguc men
from their jobs or take from them any portion OF
authority.
Maryland is now tackling education and the
schools. May she have great as in her
other endeavors. Maybe if she gets a really mod
crn fully co-ordinated school system, some OF her
progress may slop into Washington But it
is simpler and easier TO reform and remodel q
States rural system, than that OF a large or even
considerable city and here again politics is the
chief obstacle. The Herald congratulates Mary
land her batting average and extends best
wishes joined with the caution that eternal vigilance
is the price Of keeping, we'll getting, political
reforms.
