When | was beggarly boy,
And lived in a cellar damp,

But | had Aladdins lamp;
When | could not sleep for the cold,
| had fire enough in my brain,
And builded, with roofs of gold
My beautiful castles in Spain.
Since then | have toiled day and night,
| have money and power good store,
But I'd give all my lamps of silver bright,
For the one that is mine no more;
Take, Fortune. whatever you choose,
You gave, and may snatch again;

For | own no more castles in Spain!

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
DOSE OF CASTOR OIL

Six hundred and eighty-two families thirty
five hundred and ninety-seven persons OF more
than twenty-three per cent of the entire popula-
ton of Watauga county, received aid from emer-
eencv relief headquarters during the month OF
August canned meat, fat-back, money and
stuff. These are the figures of Mrs. Thos. OBerry,
director of the dole in North Carolina and
they're right as rabbit, to be sure! It's mighty
hard to realize that the alleged panic left this host
of unemployed, destitute, famished sack-toters in
a lond most as fertile as Eden right IN the
middle of a harvest second to none in the memory
of man. Apples, Eaters, turnips, cabbage oeans'
pumpkins, corn, rye, buckwheat hamburger
on the hoof, pork chops in the pen lamb RAM
sheep. mutton. goat and whistle-pig ranging at
large on thousand-odd hills plenty for all
and enough left over for Pentecostal feast OF
two the gourd of lavish Providence TILED
right over us . and the dear old FERA still pass
ing out dollars in a never-ending stream to take
care of poverty in these hy'ar mountains!
It's probably the righteous thing to do we'd
like to think So at least but somehow or otner,
it takes powerful struggle to retain ones meager
smack of non-dished-up- without-sweat grub as
one observes a great big, lazy, good-for-nothing
bumpkin sinking along the street with couple OF
cans of "Guv'mint" meat. For his general cussed-
ness has been rewarded by relief rations and
it's doubtful whether his truce with the hoe and
pillow will be broken for a decade. The spirit OF
direct federal relief to an INDECENT tribe of neer-
dowels is beautiful indeed but in practice, it's
another big dose of castor oil! Mabe it won't last
always maybe we'd better pray that it doesn't.

PARENT SHIFTS BURDEN OF CHILD
TOsTEACHER
(By BRUCE CATION

Unless we revise our way OF training
children in the public schools, we may
presently find that we have reared gen.
Grafton of faded old youngsters utterly
devoid of a sense of value.
This is the warning DR.. William Ernest
Hooking, professor of philosophy at Har-
ward, issued to a school teachers conVen-
ton in Ohio recently.
Teaching children how to solve prob
lens in arithmetic, how to spell, how to
reel off the names of the presidents, and
how to bound the state of Kentucky, Dr..
Hooking suggests, is pretty nearly useless
unless, at the same time, we give them the
mental and emotional training which will
enable them to get something out of their
lives besides the empty repetition of a
mOnOtonous routine.
Now the significant thing about this is
the fact that the speaker seems to take it
for granted that the youngsters are to get
this kind of development in the school ra-
Their than in the home.
One Of the most profound changes any
human society could undergo has been
taking place in this country in recent
years, and most of us have hardly noticed
it.
We have not only given to our schools
the job Of teaching our children how to
read and write; we have, to a very great
extent, also given them the task of devel-
oping our children's character, establish
ing their ideals, and suggesting to them
the approaches to adulthood.
more; and while that may be an excellent
A homely illustration will show the
trend. Hardly anyone spanks his child any
thing, the old-time firmness of parental
discipline has pretty largely vanished at
the same time.
1t has been transferred to the school
room. The child whose parents "can't do
thing with him and his name is legion,
nowadays-toes the mark in school very
obediently
He has to. He knows teachers will
make 1t hot for him if he doesn't.
Now this is merely symbol of the way
in which we have transferred parental re-
SponsibilitieS to the school ma'am. The
only reason why we are not raising the
most spoiled brats the world ever knew is
that the schools are doing our work for US.
It is for that reason that DIR. bookings
warning is timely. 1t calls on the educa-
tors to recognize that they have been given
responsibility which, from time imme-
mortal, has rested on the parent.

MAKE 1T GODS COUNTRY

Who can resist the appeal that there was in the
Presidents speech short time ago when he spoke
over the radio. "Let us make this Gods country"
The President meant narrow measure. He made
reference to the boys in France, who made the
! remark concerning their home land Gods country.
The soldiers meant that which every true Ameri-
can visions. Liberty, the pursuit of happiness ac-
cording to ones own desires, ambition and aspira-
ton to succeed to the highest office in the land
with possibility of realization. The right to wor-
ship according to the dictates of ones own con-
science. The land of their birth and it's glorious
traditions and inspirations.
But the President probably visioned something
more. Let's make this Goods country" imply that
there is something yet to be done; that something
has either been left undone or has been perverted
and must be reformed. The President knows that
opportunity has become grossly unequal and that
power for human happiness based upon attain
ment of material wealth as a national heritage,
has passed and that it must be reganed, not by
the efforts of any party or any group, but by the
labor and effort of all the citizens of the land
Let's make this Gods country.-Sherdan, Ore,

DROP BY DROP
>By WICKES WAMBOLDT.

do good anod would have good,
say in encouragement: "What's
the uSe?"
You can bring good conditions
into your community, if you will
work everlastingly for good con-
ditions. And that my friends, is
the only way you will ever get
and retain good conditions-by
working eVerlastingly.
1t does not matter what you do
in behalf of the cause of right
eousness and decency. All you
need to- do is to do something, and
to keep on doing something. Lit
tie things or big things, it makes
no difference what you do, so long
as you never let up and never let
go.
If you did not know in advance
what would happen, and should set
out to undo a husky hod carrier
by letting pure water fall drop
by drop on his palm, YOU might
feel that You were doing some
thing funny and foolish. And the
bod carriers contemptuous grin
would not stimulate a feeling in
you Of self-assuTance. Yet you
know from scientific reports that
all you would have to do would be
to keep that thing up long enough
and you would have your man on
the run.
So don't get discouraged in your
desire and endcavor to make con-
ditions better. All you have to do
is to keep up your efforts, little
or big; keep them up. No effort
for good is ever lost. And every
little effort added to what you
have already made, makes Just a
little bit more. Mountains are
made of grains Of sand and oceans
Of drops of water.
"Work increasingly" is the creed
Of the crook. Use his own system
on him and you will run him out,
run him down, and eliminate hmi.
Drop by drop. Never stop.

long as you work, The blows you
strike may bet gentle, tiny, appar-
emily ineffective, but if you keep
up those blows no. matter how
light, no matter how timid, you
will overcome Eyour respectable
rascals and your political mis-
creants. You will run them out
of town. They will be unable to
endure the continuous pressure.
The reason the crook holds his
own and maintains his position
and continues his strength, is that
he works. He is Industrious.
Long ago he learned the import
ance of staying on the job and
keeping busy. Long ago he learn
ed that industry without integrity
will overwhelm integrity without
industry.
The reason that those opposed
to rascality in government and
business often fail to overcome
and drive out such iniquity is that
they do not realize the necessity
of industry and the power Of re-
naming on the job. They execute
an attack and show everybody up.
They think that ought to do the
business; It doesn't. They try
again, and perhaps again. Pos
sibly they chase the crooks off
