THE MEANS TO RURAL BETTER
MENT

Representative R. Walton Moore
has appointed his committee OF
twenty-four citizens to act with HIM
for the Improvement of rural life IN
Virginia. As has been set forth, the
purpose is 20 "devise means to BRING
into active cooperation the full
strength of the Virginia people Tor
the betterment of rural life" The
committee is representative one and
the object commendatory, but the
thought occurs that the "means to
the betterment of country life" is not
far to seek or difficult to find. 1t is
right at hand in the building of good
roads, and the committee might well
attain it's object promptly and effec-
lively by associating itself with or
putting itself squarely behind the
Virginia Good Roads Association in
it's work of lifting Virginia out of
the mud.
Rural life in Virginia will not i'm
prove appreciably until good roads
make every part of the State easily
accessible. When that has been done
betterment of rural life will largely
take care of itaself. 1t has been the
history of other states, and history
will repeat ieself in this one, tina
good roads, good homes, good farms,
good schools and good churches go
along. In the absence of good roads
all the others are usually lacking. 1t
is a social and economic combination
that cannot be broken up, and ideal
rural life will never be found along
streaks of mire and dust. Here, then,
Mr.. Moore and his fellow committee
men will find the solution of the
great Virginia problem which they
have determined to solve.-[ Richmond
mes-Dispatch.]

DO 1T FOR YOUR
OWN SAKE. FOLKS!

We have with US in this community
many valued citizens whose horne
towns are in other parts of the coun-
try.
Circumstances that are our good
fortune as much as theirs, have made
it to their interest to settle here. They
have established homes and built for
themselves many warm friendships.
But the "old home", the home OF
childhood, is somewhere else. Oft
must come to them fond recollections
that go back to the home of their girl
hood and their boyhood days; back to
the people there whom they knew and
loved; back to the scenes that were SO
familiar and will always remain inti-
mate until the last call arrives to still
another home.
1t is no reflection on q man or wo-
man that his or her heart retains
place for the old home town and that
he sometimes dreams of it. Senti-
mental? Certainly, but such senti-
ment is good and wholesome and is the
mark of human heart that can be
trusted-and loved.
To these of our fellow citizens we
address this suggestion: That they
take advantage of the idea behind the
coming Subscribe to the Home Pa
per Week." in order that, during the
coming year. they shall receive regu-
larly each week their old town news
paper and see the names and hear of
the people they used to KNOWN the
happy old days when they lived in the
good old home.
You know the papers name, fellow
citizen! Send on your subscription!

THE MAN WHO ATE FOUR
SHEEP FOR BREAKFAST

There are famous appetites in his
tory and more or less famous appe-
titles right here in our own commune
ty. But have you yet heard of the
American citizen who consumed four
sheep--or, to be exact, the equivalent
of four sheep for breakfast?
Come with us to Chicago. Arriv-
ing on another train lisa stock farm
err from Nebraska who raises sheep by
ten thousands. No matter about his
name; the incident is on record in the
office of Mr.. Wallace, Secretary of
Agriculture in Washington.
The stock farmer has shipped 49,
900 sheep before leaving home. When
his flock arrives in Chicago he sells
it and is paid THIRTY-TWO CENTS
PER SHEEP after freights, commits
sions and other charges are deducted.

"The Sabbath command is only one
of tie precepts of the Bible. Why
single out Sabbath observance" as "a
subject for legislation, end neglect
other things that the Bible COM
mands? For instance, the Bible tells
US that "the tenth shall be holy unto
the Lord" This is as plain as the
command respecting the Sabbath.
But would those fayOring compul-
sorry Sunday law favor law COM
pelling all to give tenth of their in
come for religious purposes? Quite
a general protest would doubtless be
raised against such a law. But why
should the state be asked to pass a
law requiring person to give one
seventh Of his time for religion, any
more than to give one-tenth of his in
come for religious purposes? One is
no more out Of place than the other"
So says Liberty" in it's opposition to
the efforts of fanatical advocates to
compel by law an observance Of Sun
day. But those people will be the last
to obey the command to give up the
tenth. While they are vigorously
counseling you and me to lay IN our
treasures in heaven. they are keenly
looking after their pleasures here be-
low. They do not bar the dollar, al
though the love of it is proclaimed to
be the root of all evil.-Ironton Regis

AGE IN MISSOURI

Washington, d. c., Oct. ACCORD
ing to the census of 1920. 1913 per
cent, or about three-tenths, of the
people in the state of Missouri are
either infants or children under Is
years of age; 9 per cent are young
people, Is to 10 years old; 1873 per
cent, about two-fifths, are women and
men in the prime of life, being from
20 to IA years old; while 1872 per
cent, being 45 years of age and over,
are well along in middle life if they
have not reached old age.
The urban population as compared
with the rural shows some rather
striking differences in age, the per-
centage 20 to A years of age being
A.2 for the urban population as COM
pared with 1871 for the rural, while
the percentage under Is years of age
is 24.0 in the urban population as
against 34.2 in the rural. These diff
ferences may indicate larger families
of'children in the country than in the
city, but probably indicate also the
fact that country children as they
grow up have tendency to flock to
the cities, thereby increasing the ac-
tive adult population of the cities
at the expense of the rural districts.
Just about three-fifths of the popu-
lation, 500 per cent, are old enough
to vote, being 81 or over; and in this
class the men outnumber the women
in the ratio of 104 to 100. The males
of military age, 18 to A. constitute
41.0 per cent of the male population
and POT per cent of the total popula-
ton.
