A GOOD EXAMPLE


If any proof were needed that this
is a big and wonderful nation it was
afforded but recently when news
swept the world to the effect that
Pres. Harding had been fatally strick
en-. Had we possessed king or an
Emperor there might have been SER
ious riots, maybe an uprising, But
here, in this big country where every
man is in a way an independent gov
eminent within himself and respects
the machinery of the Republic as a
whole, affairs run along as quietly
and smoothly as a well-oiled, we'll
regulated machine. And nation
bowed its head in sorrow, but did
not waver for a second in its form of
government. Maybe when we some
times become a little wrothy because
taxes are high, it would do someone
here in Belington good to sit down
for moment to consider if, after
all, it isn't worth more to live in a
land where we know our lives and
at the time calamity overtakes the
what political party may be in power
our property are safe, regardless Of
country.

THE FARM BOYS EDUCATION

During recent meeting of teachers
at western college there was little
cropping out again of the idea that
the way to keep young people on the
farm is to change their education so
early and so completely that they
will be fitted for nothing but farm
ing vocation. Simmered down o is
real meaning, the substance of the
argument is that if they have not an
education which will enable them to
do anything else but farm, they will
no TRY to do anything else. But the
average Belington man knows, and it
ought to be generally known all over
the country that boys and girls born
ION the farm today are not going 90
be held there by putting an education
al ball and chain on their legs. If
the brighter minds among them are
to be devoted to the task of bringing
American agriculture out of its pre-
sent difficulties, it must be from
choice, not from necessity forced up
on them by limitation of their ed
ucation, and still more, the problems
of present-day agriculture will not
yield their solution to men and wo-
men SO narrowly educated that they
could not successfully take up some
other calling besides farming.

OUR BOUNDEN DUTY


This newspaper must first of all be
clean. it must be fair, it must be
honest and without malice in its
opinions and expressions and it must
at all time, devote itself unflinchlng-
lyand fearlessly to the public service
in the interests of the masses OF the
people.
1t must always combat evil and in
justice.
1t must always fight for progress
and reform.
1T must never tolerate corruptions.
1t must be in sympathy with the
poor and unfortunate.
For Belington it must always
stand with the unselfish devotion, for
the achievement of the finest ideals,
of every high purpose, of every en-
ternrise, of every step in the march
or progress.
It must stand for good govern
ment, freedom, equality, the public
welfare, civic and true patriotism and
undying love of country.

KENTUCKY DOWNS CINCINNATI14 TO 0

CINCINNATI, O.. Oct 6.-(speciaL) ) The University of Kentucky football team invaded Ohio today and earned decisive 14 to victory over the University of Cincinnati eleven. al- though the Wildcats from the blue grass failed to demonstrate anything like the form that they should, al- lowing the Bearcats to come through and complete several passes for good gains.
 The Kentucky boys outplayed their opponents throughout the contest but seemed to have lost quite a lot of their original pep and fight. Cin- cinnati was never nearer the goal of the Wildcats than the 3o-yard line, where Kentucky always braced. The day was bitter cold and great for the gridiron sport and this ms have had something to do with the playing of the Kentuckyians, who have been working out for two weeks in ter rife heat. After the first quarter the game became a kicking duel with both teams struggling back and forth between the 30-yard lines. The Ken lucky punters gained the decision over the Cincinnati booters as the game progressed.
