GOOD QUALITIES OF A BOY

The late DR.. S. Parks Cadman'
stated that six important qualities
which boy ought to develop are:
/. Uprightness, by which is i'm
piled his honesty. sincerity, and
fairness Of disposition.
2. Self-command, which mar
shals his powers of self-control and
self-direction. The possibility OF
individual or collective progress de-
pends upon this quality.
3. Self-reliance, involving as it
does confidence and courage. With
out self-reliance lad is a weak1ing
and a follower of the crowd.
A. Fidelity, not only in the usual
form of trustworthiness, but in
those Of loyalty to the right, and OF
dependability as the saving element
in workmanship of every kind.
5. Good will, which desires for
others the best he wills for HIM
SELF Without good will his nature
becomes lean, cramped, self-center-
ed, and boorish.
6. Reverence and love for all
proved ideals, by which I mean
those ideals which history and hu-
man experience have shown to- be OF
supreme value to the race.

KOTARIANS SPEND EVENING
DISCUSSING TAX MATTERS

At the regular weekly meeting OF
the M. e M. Rotarians, which met
Friday night at the Malta hotel
the entire time was given to sort
of round table discussion on mat
ters relating to taxes. F. w. Coch-
ran, chairman of the program COM
mittee, arranged the meeting. He
gan county.
Auditor G.. S. Strong was intro
duced and gave figures, and discuss
ed briefly the tax situation in this
county. He stated that of the tax
collected the commissioners had
$3.50 to spend, and with certain
expenditures such as salaries for
county officials fixed by law, and
other funds earmarked, many
worthy causes have their allowances
greatly reduced. He said that "if
we are to have good government we
must have taxes" He told of our
decreasing abstract, it at present be-
ing little more than $500, 900,
on real estate and utilities. The
total tax raised on this duplicate is
in round figures, $4,000. OF the
sum $4,000 goes to the county;
$4,000 to townships; $4,000 for
schools, and $1O,5O0 for municipal
tiles. The personal tax duplicate is
down to 100000, and the taxes it
produces is divided, $4,000 county;
$1,500 townships schools $6,40O,
and villages $1,224.
Dr. A. D. Schultz, of the research
department of Ohio Chamber of
Commerce, Columbus, then took
charge of the round table discus
sion. DR.. Schultz had with him
more complete data concerning the
financial affairs Of this county, as
related to tax matters, than any Of
ficial in the county possesses. BY
comparison with expenditures of
other counties he points out several
places where he feels some saving
could be made. One was in the
county home; another in the pur-
chases for county, such as hard
ware, gasoline, motor oil, tires, etc
He also thinks we feed our Jail pris-
oners too well-at least spend more
money for their eats and laundry
than they deserve, and more than
in many other similar sized coun-
ties. The commissioners have fix
ed zoe per meal for the year 1910,
which is several cents higher than
the average in the state. He also
felt that much more of the delin-
quent taxes should have been col
lected in the past, and thinks de-

chance.
V. Is. ''And they lifted up their
voices and said, Jesus, Master have
mercy on U.S.. This picture sug-
gests though we be as foul of sin Of
these men are of leprosy, Jesus
wants us to cry out to him for mer-
cy and healing. Their faith was al
low level but Jesus met them
where they were with the fulness
of his power, and he continues this
very hour to help us according to
the measure of sour faith and not
according to our theological under
standing.
". IA. "And when he saw them,
he said unto them, Go show your
selves unto the priests. And it
came to pass, that, as they went,
they were .cleansed.' Those lepers
not only prayed for mercy but they
were iobedient to our Lords COM
mand. They had little faith but
as they used what they had their
faith grew so they were healed "as
they went Christian experience
may not be only at moment but
during hours of patient obedience.
VS.. Is, 16. "And one OF them,
when he saw that he was healed,
turned back, and with a loud voice
glorified God and fell down on his
face at his feet giving him thanks;
and he was Samaritan" The nine
others who were healed failed to be
thankful; the majority today fail
to be grateful to God for his bless
ings; but the least respected of the
ten, Samaritan, sought out the
Lord, worshipped him and made
clear his gratitude This was so lit
tie compared with what Jesus had
done for him. The sin of sins is in
gratitude to God.
V. 19. "And he said unto him,
arise, go thy way; thy faith hath
made thee whole The miracle of
healing was followed by the miracle
of transformed life-a despised
Samaritan became disciple. Now
he can go forth with the power Of
God in his soul to dare and to
do those things that will please Him.

Jesus Teaches Forgiveness and
Gratitude, Luke 17:1-19, for Sun
day, Feb. .16:
Jesus addresses his disciples with
the warning that they must conduct
themselves as custodians ,of the
Kingdom of God upon earth.
vi. "And he said unto his dis
,ciples, It is impossible that offenses
will come: but woe unto him
through whom they come" Satan
and the weak wills of men causing
occasions of stumbling, is realis-
tic fact. The point of emphasis is
that of each one seeing to it that no
occasion of stumbling is given. To
cause the downfall of another is the
most serious of all crimes. 1t is SO
serious that Jesus declares: at
were better for him that a mill
stone were hanged about his neck
and be cast into the sea, than that
he should offend one of these little
,ones.' Not only are children and
the young the ones who may be
made to stumble easily, but there
are a host of disciples whose faith
is weak and wavering.
v. g. "Take heed to yourselves:
II thy brother trespass against thee.
rebuke him; and if he repent, for
give him. Jesus would have his
disciples always maintain a forgiv-
ioh hn 10
sus seems to imply here that We can
never fully forgive a person until
he repents. And this is carried in
the implication of his mercy and
loving kindness God can not for
give us unless we repent.
VA. "And If he trespass against
thee seven times in day, and seven
times in a day turn again to thee,
saying, I repent, l repent; thou
shalt forgive him" Forgiveness is
to be as generous as repentance. How
ever, if one does a good job of re-
pentance it is so painful that he will
not want to repent often. Continued
repentance is not the ideal way of
living the Christian life. The point
in this verse is that of having
forgiving spirit.
v. II. "And it came to pass as
he went to Jerusalem, that he pass
ed through the midst of Samaria
and Galilee" Jesus was now on his
last journey to Jerusalem. His
teachings were now especially pro-
found.
v. 12. "And as he entered into a
certain village, there met him ten
men that were lepers, which stood
afar off. - Leprosy is the most OBJ
nOxious, pitiable and fatal disease;
so a leper was isolated, scorned, an
outcast of society. But Jesus had
compassion on such and SO when he
came along these victims saw their

linquent taxes should be advertised
in the papers yearly. He remarked
that the $500 spent this year to- ad-
vertise the delinquent taxes was
money well spent, and brought good
results. He urged that the Whit
timore law be enforced, and In SO
doing much more money would be
available for purposes now so bad
ly needed. He faulted our officials
for being against the Whittimore
act. He feels it is not treating
those right who pay taxes regularly,
in permitting others who are able
to pay, escape paying theirs. The
issuing of bonds on delinquent taxes
to raise money for tax purposes, he
thinks very poor way, and should
The salaries Of our deputies he
feels are way too low.
DR.. Schultz went over a list of 80
items the Ohio Chamber of Com
merce is working on, which if en-
acted into law by the general as
sembly, would benefit counties such
as Morgan. Among the matters
suggested were: Make blanket
bond to cover all officials; cut
down on the expense of making ex-
aminations of county records He
said they have already been reduc-
ed some, and incidentally remarked
that State Auditor Joe Ferguson is
doing a good job in the state aud
itor's office; buy supplies for the
county at less figure, and cut
down cost of meals for Jail prison
ers.
After discussion of more than
two hours, object of which was to
learn If possible how to relieve the
tax shortage in this county, while
some methods of savings were ad-
vanced, in the end there seemed to
be but two ways-either increase
the tax rate, or take away earmark-
ing of part Of the motor vehicle
funds
AS to the latter method it was
generally agreed that with the ear
marks taken off about rs percent,
and the tax put into the general
fund, the county would be in shape
financially to carry on in a manner

A. w. SHINN CELEBRATES
Goth BIRTHDAY

Alonzo w. Shinn, of Union street
celebrated his Goth birthday ami
versary, Thursday, Feb. 6. 1t was
an all day affair, with big turkey
dinner at noon, which was prepared
by his daughter, Mrs. A J. Monroe,
near Malta. For some years Mrs
Monroe has baked her fathers
birthday cakes. Covers were laid for
members of Mr.. Shinn's immediate
family as follows: Mr.. Shinn and
his wife, his sons, Howard Shinn of
Toledo, Floyd Shinn, Washington,
u. c., and George Shinn, Marietta,

ing his very special friend former
Mayor E. d. Shafer. In the even
ing at 1880, 1.-The boys" of the Sun
day school class of Trinity Metho-
dist church, which Mr.. Shinn taught
for many years, called in body.
They we're: DR.. c.. e. Northrup, who
planned the evening party, Mayor
John S. Mcbride, Prof. James M.
Turner, Jerrold G. Scott, H. C.
Shilling, 0. p Lindsay, R. K Long
ley, H. G. White and Frank N
Gray. Mcbride, Turner. Scott and
DR.. Northrup each spoke briefly,
emphasizing the very high regard
in which they and the community
in general hold Mr.. Shinn. Mr.
Shinn's son, Howard, made the re-
sponse for his father.
The honored guest received many
nice presents. The Sunday school
class presented him with a beauti-
full blanket and a lounging robe. He
also received handsome bouquet
of American Beauty roses, potted
plants, letters, greeting cards, ETC.,
and his daughter composed beau
tiful poem, which was also printed
in the Trinity Methodist church
bulletin.
Mr. Shinn was born near Dale,
in this county. He was educated in
the country school and at the Bart
lett academy. He then entered the
school teaching profession. He was
a natural born teacher, and in all
taught % years. For
several years he was in the store
business, and then became identified
with the organization department
of the Knights of the Maccabee
lodge, and was district deputy in
that order for 20 years, retiring 10
years ago because of failing eye
sight.
In his parents family of 10 chill
dren, but three are now living, Mr.
Shinn of this place; Ora Shinn of
Okla. and Mrs Mary Mautz
of GAINESVILLE. For SO years Mr..
Shinn has been a member of the
church, attending regu-
larly so long as his health permitted.
and for 68 years he has been a
member of the Masonic lodge, at
Bartlett.
No one who comes in contact with
Mr.. Shinn, and his keen retentive
mind, can think Of him as an aged
man. He is remarkably well in
formed on all subjects, and especial
ly the Bible. While his eyesight is
dimmed, he has retained
all of his other natural faculties.
This grand old man-90 years
young, with his good wife, and fam
lily, surrounded by friends which
are legion, is enjoying the happy re-
fiections of we'll spent life.

The New York Grand Command
cry, Knights of Malta, in convention
in Rochester, appealed to every
American to defend religious liberty
in this country. The resolution said
in part, 1.-THE surest and most effec-

The progress of Christianity Is
shown by the fact that in 1900 "A.

ninety-three percent of the earth's
surface. In 1900, Christian nations
had come into possession of eighty
two percent of the earth's surface
and non-Christian lands had drop

centuries Christianity had become
dominant.
