Praises American Charity

The adoption of modern farm ma
chinery in Mesopotamian wheat fields,
where sickles and fails were in vogue
only year ago, is only one of many
evidences Of the Americanization of
Bible lands, according to DR.. Isaac
Yonan, native Assyrian who won
the title Of the "Hoover Of Persia" for
his food economy campaign in that
country during the armistice period.
Doctor Yonan, in a report to the
international Near East association,
says that American agricultural
methods as taught in the farm schools
Of the Near East relief during the
past few years have begun to show
results all over Armenia, Greece and
Syria. american charity has been a
social and educational force Of ire
mendous power in these countries" he
declares.

Well to Inculcate
Pride in Ancestry

It Is urged in defense of tile lOWly
and in diSparagement of the we'll born
that a man cannot select hi, ances-
tors. but IT'S matter of fact man
frequently does.
Take the case of the man whose
great-.:reai great grandsire was not
ed general, This man had two grand
fathers i"ur great grandfathers. eight
greet great GrandcalhrrS aud 16 great
great great Srnndiu,LcrS, of whom the
general was one. Each of the 10 had
a wife 80 that the mans cosmos con.
tains but one thirty-second part Of the
general. When blood gets so thin 1t
leaves little trace, and yet this man
selects the general as his ancestor
and says nothing of the others.
The reason is obvious. The others
were nobodies. We have, then, a man
who Is one part general and 81 parts
nobody; and yet in many ways he
seems to be the general come to life
again. He has the generals pride and
manners and love of decency.
At first glance this seems puzzle.
but the solution is simple.
The general, being the one ancestor
that family pride cares to remember,
has been talked about and presented
to children as a model for many gen.
erations. The gentleman Is like the
general because the general was used
as pattern In shaping his life.
The generals pride that he seems
to inherit Is not an inheritance. 1t is
homegrown pride, based on the fact
Of the general. The man says to him.
self: II am descended from gen
eral; that's who I am" Wherefore
he carries his head high and looks
the world in the face. But II there
was no blood connection, and the man
merely thought there was. his pride
would be no less.
Which brings us at last to the point:
LAS man thinketh in his heart, so Is
he" The we'll born have tremendous
advantage merely because they have
something to live up to. And parents
forget the nobodies on the family tree
and preserve the few somebodies to
inspire the kids. An ancestor Is
worth while If he can stiffen the back
bone Of a modern who might not be
worth a whoop without family pride
to keep him decent and set him q

The little Argus Pheasants were
much excited at this. They listened
most attentively to Father Argus
