A CRY FROM MACEDONIA
(Rich1and Democrat

Civil service, that wonderful reform
which recognized ability in preference
to political service and which was
religiously observed by democracy,
has fallen by the wayside under G..
o. P. guidance and with President
Harding at the helm the old ship of
state is being fast guided back into
the trough of public office for the
faithful in politics. From the post
mastership in Harding's home town
to some twenty-odd heads of depart
ments in the government printing
office, the same slogan is carried out;
efficiency cuts no figure, the office
goes to the man who delivered the
goods to the administration in the
last national campaign. Civil service
was fine thing when democracy was
in charge of affairs and meant keep
ing faithful servant in public office
even if he was republican, but its
different now and all democratic
Office holders fail to reach the stan
dard of efficiency demanded.

OUTLINES PROPER CARE
FOR THE YOUNG CHICKS

The care of baby chicks is very i'm
portant just as is the care of any
other young farm animal. The Coun-
ty Agent has in his Office bulletins on
Care of Baby Chicks" and a few OF
the things mentioned in it will be
taken up here.
AS soon as chicks are Matched they
should always be kept dry and warm
and require no feed for the first As
hours. Buttermilk or sour milk
should be given to them during that
time as it acts as a medicine to their
digestive organs. The first feed
should consist of baked Johnny cake,
hard boiled eggs, mixed with stale
bread crumbs or dry oatmeal. These
feeds or combinations of them may
be used for the first week AS the
substitutes for one or two feeds each
day a mixture of equal parts of crack
ed wheat, cracked corn and pin-head
oatmeal or hulled oats to which may
be added a small quantity of broken
rice, millet, rape seed or charcoal as
obtainable. Never allow chicks to
crowd in brooder, rather have two
brooders than to tax the capacity OF
one The greater number of chicks
are lost the first two or three weeks
and usually because of not having
been kept dry and warm or from
crowding.
Write the County Agent and get
one of these bulletins.
Test Your Seed Corn.
There is little or no excuse for not
having good seed corn this year.
However, much seed corn has been
dried on the porches, ETC., this last
winter and probably most of it will
grow, and in other years where SINH
lar practice was carried out the corn
was planted without testing and a
very uneven and poor stand was the
result.
Seed corn left outside all winter
experiences the same thing as a steer
or horse that has been allowed to
battle with the elements through the
winter. You don't expect a steer to
be fat and strong, neither do you ex-
pect horse to be fat and strong that
has been out all winter. The horse
is taken up some time before springs
work and fed grain in order to get
him into stronger condition before
the spring work commences. The
corn has gone through similar test,
the elements have weakened it and
many times left only spark of life
there, and if planted in cold wet
ground as often is the case it has not
enough energy left to battle its way
out of the ground, you can't take
that up little before planting time
and revive it, like in the case of the
horse, but you can test your corn
and find out whether it is weak or
strong. Surely you always get corn,
whether you get maximum of produc-
ton because of good seed is another
question and you cannot afford to
pillow, disk, harrow and cultivate
field five times for nothing less than
a good thrifty stand of corn, which is
obtained by planting thrifty seed and

ATREDALE BANKS MONEY
FOR MASTER

L. E. Duncan, proprietor OF the
TittIe Lake Creamery Company Of
Los Angeles, has one employee who
draws no salary and yet is about the
most trustworthy of them all. He is
large Airedale dog, three years Old,
named ''Foch." Every day he carries
the cash receipts into the Los Angeles
Trust and Savings Bank, stands on
his hind legs and passes the wallet
through a window to the receiving
teller. and then reioins his master,
who waits outside in his auto. Very
nroud of his Job he is, too, and It GER
tainlv would not be wise for any one
RI attempt to interfere with him.
When he first began making trips
IN the bank the receiving teller was
Mr.. H. M. Ostrom. After Whlle MI.
Ostrom was promoted to assistant
manager and took another desk. The
newt dav after he moved, Foch came
n and went to the usual window, but
when he saw a strange face there ne
rafnsed to relinquish the money. His
owner had to be called to introduce
Foch TO the new teller and assure the
faitbfnI dog it was all right, as he
nod hunted around until he found
M 0strom. with whom he left the
money.

MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Many persons, not only of the So
called weaker but of the presumably
stronger sex, think that walking half
a dozen blocks on some practical
errand is entirely too great physi-
cal effort, but think nothing at all of
dancing a good portion of the night
1t is interesting to see just what
dancing amounts to in the way OF
exercise. The average waltz requires
1900 yards and other dances aver
age around $50 yards. Dancing from
8 o'clock in the evening until the Gus
tomary time of closing dances involy-
es the taking of $4,000 steps or a total
distance of over IL miles and on the
other hand some dancers could dance
most of the evening on a pancake
griddle. Fancy the feeling of a girl
if invited to take a 11-mile walk, even
if it were proposed that she be accom-
panied by a band of music.

Making Education Real in England


England is astir in the matter of
education. The war brought violent
ly home to the English, as to Ameri-
cans, the need for equality of educa-
tional opportunity and a vitalizing of
the processes Of education. Says
Caroline Sturgeon, commenting in
the Atlantic Monthly on the report of
a national Committee on the Teach
ing of English
'The chief factor in the present di-
vorce between education and reality
is the theory, long accepted, that the
process of education is the perfor-
nance of compulsory hard labor, d
grind" or ''stiffening process" a
''gritting of the teeth" upon hard SUBJ
stances, with the primary object, not
Of acquiring a particular form of skill
or knowledge, but of giving the mind
a general training and strengthen
ing.
"If this theory were abandoned, the
whole educational problem would be
made easier, and it would be posi-
BILE to secure for the child a living
interest and sense of purpose in his
work. This purpose would be realiZ-
ed more and more fully as it came to
be understood that education is not
the same thing as information or dis
cipline, or even the dealing with hui
man knowledge divided up into So
called subjects
"True education, the drawing out
and training of already existing
faculties, is really guidance in the &C
curing of experience. For the gain
ing of experience, physical, mental
and spiritual, is the one thing which
matters; it is in this continuous gain
that life itself consists, and the full
garnering and expression of this ex-
perience is the highest end we can
see for man-.ripeness is all"

other number that won high place in
the praise of those hearing it was the
clarinet solo by Turner Brown. These
musicians are among the best in this
section of he state and their appearance
is always eagerly awaited. Mr.. o. L.
Bradshaw, teacher of boys Class at
the First Baptist Church and Presi-
dent of the local Kiwanis Club, spoke
for 10 minutes to an audience that was
all attention.
Seldom has speaker had closer at
