Such a profitable business indeed has
il become that il is believed to be
the forerunner Of the development
Of huge stock industry in the Post
region and throughout the Eastern
region Of the South Plains.
Most Of the stock now being fed Is
either Hereford or Black-Angus cat
tie. but there are some Durhams. Al
SO each farmer is running about rs
per cent hogs after the feeding Of the
cattle, and several Of the farmers
are also feeding lambs.
j. F. Hartford, who is one Of the
Managers Of the c. w. Post Inter-
ests in this city, is conducting an
active campaign among all the farm
ers in the Post region, having for its
purpose getting every farmer 70 feed

ghum- grains 90 rang cattle and mar

EDUCATION IN CITIZENSHIP

The teaching Of civics has given a
lot of useful information, But fire.
Quently it has failed to encourage the
pupils to do anything. II the children
are not asked to do anything themsel-
YES, they are apt to get the comfort
able feeling that some one else Is
attending to all these things Like
most Of their elders, they come out
Of school saying, Let George do it."
Another reference can be made
here TO the Lawrence, Mass, project
for education in citizenship. Il was
pointed out to many of the children
that their fathers could not vote, as
they were not American citizens.
Naturally these children wanted to
know why their parents did not share
this privilege.
They were taken 10 the naturaliza-
tion court where officials explained
what citizenship meant and how it
was obtained A canvass Of one class
showed that "a fathers and four bro
theirs were not citizens. The children
discussed the subject in their assemb-
~. and formed an organization, the
purpose Of which was 20 persuade
these fathers and brothers 10 take out
naturalization papers.
Within a few weeks they had in
duccd eleven Of these alien fathers
10 take out their first papers. The
value Of this experiment was not prin-
cipally in the results attained with
these parents. thought that was a
very considerable achievement. II was
still more important TO show these
children that 10 secure community
progress every citizen must take hold
himself and do what he can 10 inn
prove conditions.
Instruction in citizenship in Column
bus can not be considered complete
unless the children are given some
definite task Of community work 20
perform, 80 that they shall establish
the habit Of cooperation IN the de-
velopment II their home city.

POORLY PHRASED

Whoever prepared that sign for the
Baptist convention to be placed on
automobile windshields bearing the
invitation "Baptsts Hop In" has very
little regard for the niceties Of a
speech.
The invitation could have been
made much more happily phrased, and
hereafter it is to be hoped that enter
tainment committees for state gather
ngs in our capital city will consult
us before framing automobile signs
and slogans.
For illustration, just think how nice
and nifty it would sound to invite our
visitors thusly:
"Baptists, Wade In"
Or better STILL listen to this:
Come On In, Baptists; the Waters
Fine"
We submit, furthermore, the Bap-
lists never hop They perform none
Of the gymnastics common to bull
frogs, katydids. kangaroos or grass
