Charles Anceney Jr. left this farm
about 1900 (?) and moved the CA to

Harry Childs yellowstone Transpor-

KEYsvILLE, ELoRIpA-Be Before Ralph
Berry installed his Worthington Verti-
cal Turbine Pump, his turnip yield per
acre depended entirely on the rainfall.
Some dry years, the entire crop failed;
others, it was about half what it should
have been. Now MIR. Berry lets his tur-
nip green's grow to marketable size,
cuts them off, lets them grow again, and
finally harvests the turnipS themselves.
This was impossible before the Wor-

Spires of the Spirit
To Lift or to Lean?

ITO lift or to lean?" That is the QueS-
ton which heads toward the final judg-
ment in the solemn trust called life.
For, as some one has phraSed 1t, across
all the nation two groups can be seen,
the people who lift and the people who
lean."
Those who dedicate their utmost for
the strengthening of their own char
acter and for the enrichment of the
society of which they are part are the
worlds builders and benefactors. Those
who, like clinging parasites, seek their
own advantage by appropriating the
achievements and the mpliShments
of others are life's hitchhikers, riding on
cushioned tires provided by somebody
else. Those who lift belong in the
first Of these two categories: those who
lean, in the second.
A gentleman has been defined as one
who puts into the common pool little
more than he takes out. The most
creative conception that can dawn upon
a human, finding himself amid the
mortal strife, with its competitive tugs
in various directions, is this: am here
to be something. not to acquire some
thing; am here to give, not to get. II
that is once fully apprehended and ac-
cepted. all attitudes and actions Will
fall into q master pattern.
There are those constantly measur-
ing their lives by the returns and
rewards made to them by people, by
society. by government. But even mod
ern fiction, depicting those crowned
with so-called success, bent on getting
on in the world by leaning on any
influence which can be grasped, even
after, they have arrived at coveted
goals, paints character after character
compelled to make their own the con-
fession Of the writer of Ecclesiastes:
"All is vanity and vexation of spirit"
That is the inevitable terminal of
those who lean. In spite Of the glitter
and hectic excitement characterizing
our Western life as it Is reflected in the
literature, music and art Of the day.

there is evidenced very little calm and

Getting and spending. that is, spend
ing on self, multitudes lay waste their
souls. The trouble is our gadget-age
has raised generation in dire danger
of thinking much more of what life
owes them than of what they owe
life. There is all the difference in the
world between a sponge and spring.

sponge swells up to several times it's
size. It does that because it is

pulpit constantly reaches multitudeS on

Of the escalator philosophy as it has
been applied to his own country. SOL
emnly declares: what Is so often for
gotten Is that, If you give amenities
endlesSly to people who are at heart
grabbing and selfish, you will bring the
life of the community to chaos. In
this serious hour. human motives are
being poisoned with drug that is sap
ping the moral grandeur and stamina
of the whole land. We might label the
drug thus: How can do less and gain
more?" That famous preacher was
warning that the escalator philosophy
of life is dangerously increasing the
number Of those who lean and decreaS-
ing the number of those who lift. And.
so far as America Is concerned, 1t is
indicative of wistful, lazy yearning to
bask in unproductive fields of leisure.
that current popular song, which has
sold well over million copies, is
whine because the complainer has to
work "like the devil for his pay, while
the lucky old sun has nothing to do but
to roll around heaven all day."
Long before he was President, Abra-
ham Lincoln, on q visit to New York
City, on Sunday morning slipped
quietly into room in an industrial
institution where weekly Sunday
School class was being held. The chill
dren gathered there came from the
poor classes, the parents of most of
them having fed from the poverty in
Europe. The rail-splitter from Illinois
was asked to speak. and did so without
any premeditated preparation. One
present took down that day what that
tall American, on his way to the great
ness which makes him belong to the
ages, said. Here are just two sentences:
"You children must always thank God
that you have been born In a country
where, If you will live a decent, clean
life, trust God and work hard, you can
rise. The only things that will limit
you are your industry, your character.
and your brains" Lincoln to that Sun
day School class was preaching the
personal responsibility which is the
central secret of democracy. It stems
out of the dignity Of the individual
person.
Toll is the ticket to the only Utopia
where dreams are not Knocked. To be
coddled and carried is the sure method
of personal and national suicide. Amer
lea has not been made by leaners, but
by lifters The symbol of all that has
made our American democracy great
and mighty enough now, in this hour
of destiny, to save the world from the
horror of world domination by regi-
mented Communism is not the escala-
tor on which people ride, but the stair
way up which people climb.

as Sponging on others. What a sponge
does is no sign of life, because it is
corpse. But the ripping spring,
with its low, sweet music, flows along,
making the meadows green and giving
to all who will partake q refreshing
draught of its crystal water. If spring
becomes stagnant, it commits suicide.
The Dead Sea is dead because it takes
everything in and gives nothing out.
That will kill sea and all in it. It
will kill a life. To give is to find lifes
pureSt joy. To give is to live.
For one who understands human
nature and natures law that to save
life is to lose it, the peril Of the So
called welfare state, which Specializes
in props and crutches. is that by taking
away from a man the lure Of accom-
plishment by his own proweSs and
power 1t is tampering with something
very precious. his self reSpect-the drive
Of personal initiative. OF course, the
prospect of getting everything to give
to everybody by the simple method Of
taxation has ominous social, economic
and ethical consequences. The logical
end is that after a while there will be
nothing left to distribute. Such q
conception tends to the glorification
Of mediocrity. The goose which lays
the golden eggs cannot be strangled
to death and the basket still be filled
with golden eggs.
A fatal weakness with most social
istic schemes is that they regard gov
ernment as a sort Of escalator upon
which even the indolent may step to
be carried up, whether they exert them
selves or not. When such social
schemes have been tried there have
been alarming indications that far too
many people are perfectly willing just
to recllne on the moving stairway and
themselves do little but enjoy the

This to-do about certain additive
for battery use brings to my mind a
controversy some years back about a
nickel-plate battery versus the lead
plate battery. AS remember it. this
nickel-plate battery was many times
more efficient than the lead-plate bat
terry and many people, including dealers,
wanted to purchase it, but for some
unaccountable reason (to me) it could
not be purchased in this vicinity while
it was available in other vicinities and
in foreign countries. It seems to me
that there was some discussion among
the interested parties about allotting
certain territory to certain parties to
sell a certain kind Of battery and that
no one would trespass on the domain
Of another. I got the impression that
the lead-plate battery manufacturer
was trying to hold on to his lucrative
market and did everything possible to
