YOUR OWN TOWN
What do you know about your own
town? Have you looked it over with a
critical eye and satisfied yourself that
it is all that it should bo; that the bet
ter streets and residences are ns good
as they might bo, as well kept ns they
should be, and that the lawns and shrub
bery are in accord with the size and
artistic beauty of tho residences?
Have you walked down the principal
business streets and compared tho stores
and shops with those of other commu
nities? Are they up-to-dnto, enterpris
ing and thrifty ns they should bo?
Have you visited tho poorer sections of
your town and looked over tho condi
tions existing there with nn idea of
suggesting improvements? If you have
not. already done so, it will interest
you to go through the poorer sections
of your town and note the conditions of
the streets, 1 he dwellings of the peo
ple, tho sanitation; tho condition of
tlie sidewalks, the enro of the lawns,
and in fact, every feature of that section
of the town you call your own.
In every town there is a section that
is not as well kept ns some other devo
ted to the homes of the wealthier
classes. The wealthy live in good
homes, some of which are olognut, care
fully maintained, and the surroundings
beautiful examples of the landscape
gardener’s art. Tiicse are tho homes
of the rich and the well-to-do.
This is the section of the town into
which you take your friends, when they
collie to visit you. You want to show
them the beauties of vour city, and us
ually they appreciate your loyalty and
your desire to make their stay with ,1011
as pleasant us possible. You may or
you may not be financially interested in
these beautiful residences that adorn
your homo town, but you take pride
in the fact that they are there and are
an asset worthy of notice. You may
make excuses for the shabby appearance
of tho homes of tho so-called poorer
sections, but did it ever occur to you
that your duty ns a citizen demands
that vou use your influence to-Uinko
these homes better? llid it ever occur
to vou that vour visiting friend would
take note of tho fact, that your home
-town was pretty much the same ns
many other towns, and that the poorer
Sections were no better than the poorer
sections of some other towns with which
'he is familiar? Here is a tip for the
civic improvement societies, for the
town fathers, for the entire politic of
your community. Here is a line of duty
that most of us linvo ncgelected, and
that is to make the so-called poorer sec
tions better, to create a sentiment that
will cause the landlords to paint, paper
and tidy up their routing property, to
make the lawns attractive; to make the
homes inviting; to lessen -the differ
ence in living conditions apd make the
homes of tho poorer proplo' Of your
community as attractive aB possible;
so that when your fryfctl comes tto-anako
y»u a visit you majL show hlm'a x6wn
tfiat is prosperous, progressive and
l*!«ppv. If he finds the poorer sections
better than those of other towns ho
knows of. bo gets away with a new
idea and a better feeling for your com
munity. ilf lio finds tho poorer sections
well kopt, well painted and neat he re
marks about it and lie goes away pleas
ed that he has found you living in a
community that has tho home spirit,
the thrift spirit, tho general air of com
munity brotherhood, and lie feels that
your community is really a very good
one in which to live. Ho is pleased
-with the tidy homes, the well-kept
streets, the high quality of the citizen
ship, the interest of property owners in
their holdings, the fine sewerage system,
the fire department, the water Bupply
and the general aspect of thrift. This
is what makes n town grow into a city
and a city become great.—Covington

THE RIGHT KIND OF

Nearlv all fathers want to be 100

probablj
they think is not over 25 per cent
father. Hut after nil most 25 and 50
per cent fathers want to be 100 per
cent, nnd with tho proper advice and
encouragement will become so. Tho
two main reasons why people do not
overcome tlieir shortcomings nre, first:
they are not told about them; second,
they are told about them in an un
sympathetic way—n sort of fault-find
ing way.
One of the best wnys to find out
whether you nre a good father, is to
sit down by yourself and think tho
matter over. Meditate over it. Wood-
row Wilson wrote a splendid little
book entitled, “When A Man Comes to
Himself.” Ho shows that it is well
worth while to “take stock” of our
selves everv now and then. The man
cpcctcd to re
can mnke a
not Tcmnin.
peoplo from
e must make
the farm self-sustaining. We need and
must linvo more farmers instead of
fewer.
One of the things which can be done
by the coming legislature to help the
farmers of the state is to devise a sys
tem of taxation which will lighten tho
load on the farmer’s backs. Hereto
fore the fann lands have borne an ex
cessive burden of taxation. When cot
ton could be easily made and sold for a
high price tho tax burden was not se
verely felt, but now, when no money
crop can tie produced, nnd the form
laborer is forced to move to tlio towns
and cities t-o find a bare living, any
taxation on the farmer is a burden.
It may not, bo possible to exempt the
farmers entirely, but the burden ccr-
ininlv ought to'be lifted from them ns
Food Prices Rise in Cities;
Farmers’ Products Decline
, far iis possible, nnd everything done
in ordinary business life finds that if he that p 0S8 ibly can be done to make
is to succeed, I10 must take stock—-tnke fnrm ,; f(1 attractive an
an inventory. The matter of being a
sucessful father is a business, too, and
nils for stock-taking also.
Why don’t vou fathers organize a
Fathers’ Club, have monthly meetings
here in this auditorium and show that
vou are interested in becoming 100 per
cent fathers? One of tho greatest
troubles with tlie present age, is not
that the fathers are not organized, but
that they nre not, organized ns fathers.
They nre over-organized for promoting
their business training the children,
looking after their health, etc., when it
comes to “time,” the average father
works shorter hours than the average
mother. You remember tlie old say
ing: “Man’s work is from sn.n to
sun, but'woman’s work is never done.”
Well, father 1ms cut his down to the
eight-honf day, but mother’s remains
tlie same. If more is demanded of
father, lie strikes. Think, if you can,
what father would do if mother went
on a strike for nn eiglit-liour day. Of
course this is a little over drawn but it
mny givo father something to think
about and make him see that he is
not the only one wlio works.
I11 addition to being 11. good pro
vider, here are some of the things
that, -go to make up n 100 per cent
father:
1. Love your wife and tell her about,
it. (Telling is about ns necessary as
loving.)
2. Give her your svmpntliy in wlmt
she is trying to do for you: and your
children.
3. Hein mother look after the health
of the children nnd co-operate with her
in having physical defects, such as eye-
strain, adenoids and tonsils, teeth, mal
nutrition, etc., corrected.
4. T11 dealing with tho children, ex
act, obedience, and never let tho child
appeal to you fTom the- mother just
decision. (And remember that her de
cision is about as apt to be right, ns
yours, though you, may not think so.)
5. Always support the mother’s an-
thorltv. (A house divided against it
self shall fall.)
fi. Don’t spoil your,children by mak
ing them selfish. A selfish bov becomes
a selfish man. Selfishness is the root of
most domestic, troubles. (I hope vonr
fathers didn’t spoil you. T could ask
your wife now, but I won’t.)
7. Come homo in a cheerful mood.
Try to understand that there are trials
and cares in the home as well ns in
business, nnd that you have no right to
come home nnd tnke you.r ill temper
or grouch out on the wife and children.
What tlicj- want is a kiss, a smile and
the happy companionship which you
alone can give them.
Cheek lip on yourself by this score
card and see if you arc a 100 per
cent father.

Milk As a Food for the Baby
Cow’s milk is tlie best substitute for
mother’s milk, lmt is far from being
“ just ns good.” In fact, it iB not safe
to give cow’s milk to very young babies.
When milk is given to babies of any
age care is the price of health. Many
hundreds of babies die every summer
from “bowel complaints,” ‘which nro
caused by feeding bnbics dirty food-
most often with food which has been
polluted with human bowel material.
Milk containing germs will make the
baby sick every time. Another impor
tant point is that.' cow’s milk must be
modified before it is given to babies;
if it is given just as it comcB from tlie
cow, the baby will not ho able to digest
it b'eforo it‘is two or more years of
It is important that a baby be fed in
the right way. The feedings should bo
at regular intervals, by the elo^k, and
not everv time tho baby cries. Again,
vou should consult your doctor, in.order
to learn how often the baby should bo
fed. Babies also get thirsty—'-just' as
adults do—and should bo given plenty
of cool, boiled water; a baby will.cry
when it is thirsty as well as when' it s
hungry.—Tho Progressive Farmer.
While the price of food was rising
In most of the largo cities between
April 15 and May 15, as reported by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
Department of Labor, the prices of
most of the principal agricultural pro
ducts wore steadily declining. Tlie
farmer was reaping no benefit from
the upward range of prices for what
in large part I10 had produced.
In the middle of last month hogs sold
for less money than they had brought
to the producer since 1912, when the
Taft (Republican) administration was
in power. Wheat and other crops linve
been dropping in price for two years
—ever since the “special agricultural
tariff” was enacted by the Republican
Congress in 1921.
Last year’s potatoes sold at the farm
for an average of <i0 cents a bushel,
according to tho Department of Agri
culture, hut the consumer in the cities
had to pay never less than twice that
much for thorn.

Episcopal Churches Using
More Advertising Space
Pastures Are Essential
For Cheap Pork
With our wonderful facilities for pro
ducing cheap pork in the South, no
Southern farmer should have to buy a
pound of meat or lard next year. The
keeping of a few good brood sows of
purebred or even grade quality, and pro
perly carifi'g for them by first preparing
pastures for grazing, nnd the planting
noW of a. good acreage to peanuts, sqy
and velvet-beans, oowpeas, Sudan grass,
and corn, will be another way towards
that $500 more a year for every South-
era farmer.
To gVow cheap pork, the first esential
is permanent pastures, consisting Of
carpet grass, Bermuda,-Dallas grass and
Japan clover for grazing. Other small
pastures can now be provided by sowing
Sudan grass, millets and aorghumb.
Then for the finishing of the hogs pea;
nuts, soy beans nnd velvet beans to be
pastured off this fall should he provi
ded, with enough surplus corn planted
to finish the fattening before butchering
time.
Keep the hogs always in good healthy
condition by keeping before them a
mineral mixture as suggested by Dr.
Tait Butler.
Keep them free from lice and vermin
through tho use of waste oils. Enough
hogs can bo grown on every farm, not
only to supply all tho needs of the fnrm
family, but enough surplus hogs can bo
sold throughout tho year to add consid
erable to tho farm income.—W. G. I’.,

“A11 increasing use of the advertising
columns of the newspapers” by the
parish organizations of tho Episcopal
church in the United States is reported
by Rev. Robert F. Gibson, Executive
Secretary of the Department of Pub
licity of the National Council of tho
Church, who has just completed a se
ries of conferences with diocesan lead
ers in all sections of tho country.
Ono of tho policies of Rev. Gibson’s
department is the promotion of advertis
ing in tlie secular press, not only of ser
vices and meetings, but of a general
evangelistic nature. In his prelimi
nary-report of his conferences Mr. Gib
son says:
“Sonic of this advertising is by indi
vidual parishes, some by groups of par
ishes, and some in combination with
churches of other communions. Ap
parently most of it still consists of
church notices or display advertise
ments of special services or meetings
and invitations to come to church.
But there is a rapidly growing eonvie-
tion that church advertising should con
tain matter which tins an evangelistic
purpose, statements about Christianity
end tlie church and the application of
Christian principles. Many experi
ments in this sort of advertising were
reported to me. The National Depart
ment has been urged to issne a regular
service of advertising forms and it is
hoped that this service tan soon bo es
tablished. ”
Keep Your Chidren in School
I want to thank The Progressive
Farmer for the recent article urging
boys and girls to stay in school.
When I was small, my father and
mother made a pet of me. I did not
like to go to school, so they let me stay
at home. The result is that now I have
to get my wife to do my writing and
reading. I certainly do enjoy listening
to her read after supper at night, ps
wo gather around tho fireside. Even
when tired out from my raily routine
of farm worn.
Children ,it is heartbreaking to be
grown lip and yet have to ask someone
else to read a story or letter to you.
Tho greatest mistake a man can make
is to roar a family without giving each
one of thorn an education. A child
does not know or even enro anything
aoout the value of an education. My
wife nnd I are working together to
givo our children an education. We
encotirngo them all wo can and I point
out to them tho great mistake I made
and the greater mistake of mv parents.

A large New York firm is advertising
for a superintendent of its department
stores. It says it wants “tho right
kind of man.” The Meridian, Miss.,
Star asks, “What is the right, kind of
a man?” nnd proceeds to answer its
question as follows:
The right man is honest. He must bo
trustworthy. No firm can nfford to
have in its employ any man who it can
not trust.
The right man is prompt. He is more
than prompt. He will niako it his bus
iness to see that tilings are done, not
merely 011 lime, but AHEAD of tiino.
Tlie right man is economical. Ho re
alizes that it is the monoy of others
tliht he is spending.
Tho right man see much in little.
Small things look very largo to the
proper mind.
The right man knows his business.
He knows every phase and needs not
the watchful eye of his employer to
goad on him.
The right man does things, lie offers
no excuses, no doesn’t know how to
make excuses.
The right man has no bad habits.
He can not dissipate and do his work.
The right man is courteous, ener
getic, watchful, clean, manly, a living
Irynamo of munhood.
Tlie Meridian paper draws a fine
picture of the kind of man that every
business house needs at its liead. Not
only do these houses need men of this
character at their liead, but they need
employes of this typo in every depart
ment. And “the right kind of man”
can get employment whenever he wants
He is in demand because the man
who employs him knows that lie is
worth the money paid for his services.
But the man who works against
time, Who waits for the clock to point
1o the hour of quitting and has his coat
d hat on ready to go when the hour
arrives, but who is not so particular
about the time when he begins work,
and not concerning himself if it happens
to be a little after beginning time—
that sort of man is never going to get
far, unless lie mends bis ways. Ho be
longs to that typo that does not. got
down to work until tho “boss” arrives
ut the office, which is the worst type
of employe.
The right kind of a man—tlie right
kind of nn employe—always has his
mind on business, especially during
work hours, nnd many and many times,
long after tho doors of tho establish
ment nre closed for the day, lie wres-
les with problems, both great and small,
seckinug for tlioir solution. This does
not mean that this man takes no time
for rest and Tccrcatiou ;it does not
mean that he must devote every waking
moment to business ,but it does mean
that he must not forget his business to
the extent of neglecting it at any time
Tho right sort of a man is always a
winner. Tlie other kind is never ono.
Home Owners vs. Race Suicide
Periodically we read something about
race suicide in this or other countries.
The latest statement is in our own
United States that apartment house life
will be the cause of decrease in our own
population. There is no question about
that, for tho average apartment allows
onlv dogs, not children.
The remedy is to urge our people to
move out of the congested little homes
oh the abundance of cheap residential
property that surrounds all of our groat
cities.
This would accomplish two results:
first, a home owner makes a better citi
zen because he has an -interest in our
government nnd becomes financially
more independent than tho Tent payer;
second, it would help to hold down nnd
maybe reduce the inflated values for a
portion of apartment house property
and rents. The average apartment
lious'e rent of from $75 to $150 a month
would soon pay for a fine homo for any
family.-
An honest architect and contractor
can put up a home cheaper today, in
proportion to your income, than would
have been possible in 1913. Don’t let
the high rent artists scare you about
building. They build and are making
money off you. You can build and pay
that money back to yourself and at the
end of ten years have a valuable asset
instead of some worthless rent receipts.

addressed him':
“Pardon mo, Mr. Wrigley, but do
you know you’re wasting a lot of

Mr. Wrigley, always anxious to learn

“My good man,” Mr. Wrigley an

No Mosquitoes, No Malaria
Now is the time to begin our fight
against chills and fever. There arc
three methods of fighting malitfiu; one
is to get rid of the mosquitoes on the
farm, another to keep them screened out
of tho house and the third is to get
rid of the malaria germs in the blood.
To get rid of mosquitoes one must
realize that mosquitoes breed only in
quiet water or damp ground. To liavo
1. Clean'up all damp spots.
2. Drain Or oil all ditches where pools
of standing water may be.
3. Punch holes in discarded tin cans.
4. Allow no old crooks or dishes to sit
around the yard.
5. Cover rain barrels with two or
throe tabl.cspoonfuls of koroscnc oil. It
smothers the wigglers and thus prevents
their becoming mosquitoes. It does not
injure the water for laundry purposes.
To keep iposquitoes out of the house
is! important because tho mosquito that
carries malaria does its work mostly
at night- It is a frail, silent mosquito
and likes to bite best in the quiet of
the night or under the table.
1. Screen every window completely.
2. RcrcOir every porch and door.
3. Screen every fireplace or flue.
4. Have strong springs on the doors.
5. Use no mesh screen larger than
number £0.
ti. Screens nre cheaper than sickness.
7. Screens are cheaper than medi
cine.
To got rid of malaria germs in the
blood different state boards of healtli
recommend different amounts of qui
nine,
Oklahoma suggests the smallest
amounts—5 grains twice dnily for two
consecutive days each week from May
1 to December 1. The daily dose for
a child is one grain for every three
yoars of age.
North Carolina suggests five grains
a day. Where one has chills the fol
lowing is suggested:
Twenty grains for first four days af
ter chill; fifteen grains a day for the
next week, that is, through the elev
enth day; ten grains for the next two
weeks, that is, through the twenty-
fifth da.v; and five grains a day until
frost. .The disagreeable symptoms re
sulting from the use of tho drug will
not be present after the fourth day, ex
cept in very raro cases.-—The Progres

Here is a little story from real life.
It came to us the other day, and we
think it is one of the finest stories over
told.
They had grown old together, she and
he—man and wife. They had battlod
together for years in a little business
all their own. For years she and he
had kept a little store in the middle of
tho block.
One day she—the “old woman,” ns
he would often speak of her—one day
his comrade was taken ill. Then Bho
was taken home, and later thoy hurried
her off to the hospital. There sho had
a nice room—a room that cost all too
much for tho old man’s pocketbook.
After a time fhis dear old pal re
covered, but never was well enough to
return to the store.
One night I10 came homo, and she
nsked: “How was business today?”
The old man stood washing his hands
at the sink, nnd answered: “Pretty
good—pretty good today. But some
how, that store will never be tho same
without you. I’m so sorry you’re not
strong and well like you used to be, for
I miss you so much.”
There was a faint flush of a younger
color in tire old woman’s face—for
wives live for the finer sentiment in
life, nnd years only quicken their in
terest.
One day shfc started to visit the little
store. But it was a long hard walk
lor a woman of her age.
On tho sidewalk, not far from where
the old store stood, sho saw him stnnd-
igg with a tray fastened to his shoul
ders, nnd on the tray was a collection
of collar buttons, shoestrings and papers
of pins.
lie had sold tho old store to pay tho
doctors’ bills, the hospital bills and
other expenses of her illness.
Where tho littlo old store had beon
was n fruit stand run by nn Italian.
That night, when lie arrived at their
little home, she, in her usual clioerful
manner, said: “How was business to
day, William?”
“Business is pickin’ up, Jane,”* was
his opt imistic reply.
That night they sat where thoy had
grown old togotlier, and oach harborod
a secret from each other—tho brand of
secret that spells sacrifice and deeper
sentiment.
Old age, like sorrows and solitude,
lias its revolutions. As we grow older,
life grows darker, till only ono puro
light is left shining for 11s, and that
light is—Faith.
Jane and William still had this faith
in tho immortal future. That was all
that was left to them, but oh, what a
priceless possession it was!—Tlie Pa
rade.
GOOD NIGHT MESSAGE
The patter of tiny feet was heard
from the head of the stairs. Mrs. Kin-
derby raised her hand warning the mem
bers of tho bridge club to be silent.
‘ ‘ Hush! ’ ’ sho said softly. ‘ ‘ Tho chil
dren are going to deliver their good
night message. It always gives me a
feeling of rovcrouco to jiear them.
Liston ! ”
There was a moment of tense sileuco,
then: “Mamma,” camo tho message
in a shrill whisper, “Willie found a
bedbug!”
