GRIMSBY, England, March 3d.
A sleek, black cat stood between II
men and death. They were adrift
on an Arctic sea, far Off the beaten
course.
Their food was gone. There was
nothing left to eat but the old, black
cat.
A secret ballot was taken. The re-
suit was unanimous.
The men would rather die than
take the life of their mascot.
It's a genuine epic of the sea, this
heroic tale of the Sargon crew and
mascot, but it has been preserved in
the towns register simply. 1t be-
gins with this item:
JANUARY 10: Steam trawler
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-03-30

Sargon with captain and crew of 10
has left for Arctic waters for fish.
Then came a blank. 1t was to be
filled in when the ship returned.
Weeks passed. The Sargon didn't
come back. Mothers, wives, sweet
hearts, wept and thought that the
last entry of the Sargon would be:
FEBRUARY: Steam trawler Sar-
gon with all hands lost at sea-
But the black mascot cat, spared
when the men needed her most,
turned out to be an omen Of good
luck. For one murky March night
the Sargon steamed into her home
port again, and the gap in the ships
odessy was filled in:
JANUARY 21: Fired first trawl off
coast of Russia. Pursued
by Bolshevil1 gunboat. but escaped.
FEBRUARY 8: Started for home
with $4,000 worth of fish.

.RUTS AT BOXES DELAY NAH.

Editor Atlanta TrI- Weekly Journal:
If [ were asked what most rural patrons
could do to please their rural mail carriers
more than anything else, my reply would
not be to give him young chicken, a peck
of potatoes, or apples, or a pound of honey
though many carriers are often made mighty
happy in this way; but my answer would be:
"Fill the ruts at your mail box with cinders,
gravel, crushed stone"
Some folks may think that ruts do not
amount to much, but one carrier told me
that out of eight tires which he had to buy
in one year, four of them were worn out
by the ruts at mail boxes. 1t is just as i'm
portant to the carrier to have good ap-
proaches to the boxes as it is to have good
roads, for one can drive through pretty bad
roads as long as he keeps going but it is
difficult to start up from a mail box after
stopping to deliver the mail, if one must
start in mud hole.
Don't be afraid to make the approaches
to the mail boxes better than the main
roads, for this is what the carrier would like
to see especially on the mud roads.
After a carrier has spun his automobile
tires around and around in the mud at a
mail box, wearing off dollars they spin,
one can hardly expect him to be in such a
frame of mind that he will go out of his
way to accommodate his patrons, even
give them the service which they expect.
Mail box ruts are not necessary, because
one half days hauling will put the mail box
approaches in good shape for a year or two.
Mail carriers, like most other folks. will
make better time and give more efficient
service when they are in a good humor, so
in order that you may have an improved
mail service, I am appealing TO you to fix
those ruts now, before the wet season comes.

MY FAVORITE STORIES

1t was one of the hottest days in the year
In the town down south where certain
friends of mine live. The Thermometer, on
the front porch, registered los in the shade
at noon. Shortly after dinner, the three
children of the household, Mildred, aged
three; Jackie, aged five; and Anthony, who
was seven, were reported missing. They
were not to be found in the big yard nor
about the stables
Their mother grew uneasy. She instituted
search of the premises. Finally, when
every corner and Granny had been visited
without result, she bethought her that there
was just one spot she had overlooked. This
the attic. 1t did not seem possible that
any human being willingly would linger for
a single moment in a place which must be
incredibly hot Nevertheless, the lady
climbed the garnet stairs. AS she lifted the
trap door breath of terrific heat, like a
blast from furnace, struck her in the face.
But what she saw made her forget her own
discomfort.
In a corner, where gable of the tin roof
came close down to the floor, and under a
sort of bower or grotto formed of blankets
and coverlids taken from the store of win
ter bedding, sat the two younger children.
Neither of them had on a stitch of clothing.
Their small pink bodies glistened with per-
spiration. To and fro in front of their. snug

Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive
Farmer, has the following editorial in the
current issue of his paper
Gust fifteen years ago this summer the
South lost by death perhaps the most orig
tnal genius it has ever given to the literature
of the world-Joel Chandler Harris, author
of the immortal Uncle Remus' books. These
stories of the negroes and white folks and
birds and beasts and 'varmints' of the South
ern farm have delighted countless thousands
of children in all parts of the world. These
stories ought to be considered a part Of the
natural heritage Of the natural heritage of
the children of every Southern farm. The
father or mother who reads one Uncle Re-
mus story night to the little ones will
soon find himself or herself enjoying the ex-
ercise quite as much as will the youngsters
themselves"

THE UNDISCIPLINED
By H. Addington. Bruce

II ORMERLY there was just ground for
r. complaining that parents as a class were
overwhelmed to discipline their children
with severity. Today they seem to be tend
ing to the opposite extreme of scarcely dis
ciplining them at all.
Certainly multitudes of boys and girls, in
all strata of society, are permitted to do
about as they please, to the annoyance Of
neighbors and the tribulaton of school-teach-
ers.
They show a deporable lack of respect for
their elders, they know not the meaning of
tn word obedience, they are selfwiled,
swayed by impulses and desire. Pleasure is
their fetish and to bend themselves to ear
nest effort is repugnant to them
What this means, of course, is that the
parents Of these unruly, emOtionally uncon-
trolled children are much more interested in
other things than in the business of parent
hood. Possibly they imagine that as the
children grow older they will be sufficiently
disciplined by the lessons of experience.
Well, experience does sometimes compen-
safe for parental negligence. But observa-
ton shows that as a general thing undiS-
ciplined children are so incapable of prOflt1ng
from experiences teachings that they are in
difficulty and misery all through life.
The mere fact that. they were not dis
ciplined when they were young makes 1t
the requirement. of the world in which they
live Failing to progress, failing even to get
along amiably with their fellows, they fire.
quently collapse in nervous and mental
brea kdowns Sir Maurice Craig we'll describes
the plight of the undisciplned when he says
There is no unhappier state than that of
instability when man finds himself react
ing abnormally to thought and environment.
Ultimately he finds there is no place for him
in the world. and ratonalize as he may that
his undisciplined outlook is a proper reac-
ton to an unfriendly community, his own
uncontrolled language and actions ALLEVIATE
him from the herd.
MANY of these individuals end their days
in mental hospitals, their nervous system
having finally broken down under the strain
of contending with men and things. And yet,
when carefully analysed, there can be dis
covered no intrinsic reason why such a state
of mental unsoundness should have been
brought about had reasonable care and
supervision directed the earlier years of their
life"
Or, II not breaking down in nervousness
and mental disease, the undisciplined are
only too liable to lapse to vice and crime AT
hest they become Querulous and irritable,
sources of woe to Others as to themselves
Naturally the parents who see them thus
develop are beset by grief. They reproach the
children when, far more reasonably, they
should reproach themselves for having failed
to recognize that discipline is an essential IN
the making of a successful life, and that to
discipline is a duty as imperatively imposed
on parents as is the duty of caring for their
children's physical needs.

Just Among Ourselves

CCORDING to Mr.. Hester, the eminent
"A statistician whose figures are accept
ed by the cotton world, the average
price of middling cotton during the year
which, closed july z31 was PAS cents pound.
Did you sell your cotton on a basis of
$12S a bale for middling Mr.. Reader? You
have every right to expect to get an aver
age price for your years labor. An average
price is as fair price as can be got-fair
to you and fair to the consumer.
Were you so unfortunate as to get less
than the average, as hundreds of thousands
Of other farmers did?
Or were you lucky enough, as few
did, to get more than the average price?
(There were undoubtedly a few farmers who
were so lucky, but most of those who got
the price higher than the average were the
merchants who took cotton last fall and
held it till the dumping period was oyer.)
II you were so lucky, are you reasonably
sure you will be so lucky this coming sea-
son?
It's just guesswork, isn't it, this business
of you selling your cotton? Nobody knows
what cotton will sell for, what the high price
will be, what the low price will be. They
can only take a gamble.
