finding contentment
Practically everyone who comes into
the world and stays long enough to:
comprehend the surroundings starts
in pursuit of that elusive things call
ed happiness.
One may look for it in climate, in
diversion, in companionship, in wealth,
in goodness knows what. But there is,
one place it can surely be found—in
congenial employment.
The happy man and the happy wo
man are those who have found the
work that they are best suited to do
and like the best to do, and happi
ness is impossible without this.
Comparatively few are satisfied
with their work. Comparatively few
are happy in their work. They do not
know where the trouble lies. They on
ly know they are discontented and
that work is drudgery. Beginning with
Monday morning, they look forward
to Saturday night. Beginning Satur
day night, they dread Monday morn
ing. Day after day, week after week,
month after month, year after year,
it goes on. But for the everlasting
and blessed hope that springs eter
nal in the human breast, people would
quit right where they are.
Getting out of uncongenial employ
ment is usually not easy. At least, it
impresses one as not being easy. In

the first place, the average person
does not know for what he is fitted or
what he really wants to do. Even
though a man has a desire for a giv
en line of work, the trouble is he is
not willing to do the necessary drud
gery between him and the attain
ment of his desire.
As most great things are simple,
the formula for finding one’s niche
is comparatively simple. The first in
gredient is diligence. It is a powerful
factor.
Somewhere within you is a talent.
There is only one way to develop
that talent and that is through dili
gence. Genius, after all, is but a spec
ial capacity for hard work.
The man who applies himself dili
gently and conscientiously, day after
day, year after year, is going to
climb, step by step, as surely and as
i positively as the days themselves roll
by. He cannot help it. And every step
he takes will be toward his niche. He
may not know where those steps may
lead when he starts. They may lead
him through an intricate maze of toil,
j hardship and difficulty, but if he will
keep on—if he will never permit him-1
self to slip back —he will of acer-,
tainty find his niche, and with his
niche, he will find contentment.

for a look into the skies, so ordinary
has become flying.
Yet, when we reflect that a decade
ago the flying machine seemed to bej
of no. practical value, and no one
dreamed that a young man in any
small community migh fly hundreds of
miles to a large metropolis between
breakfast and lunch and have time to
spare, we are left dizzy trying to
imagine what the next decade will
bring in the realm of commercial
aviation.
HENRY GRADY’S ADVICE
Henry W. Grady, the great south
ern editor and orator, died 37 years
1 ago, but the advice he gave to the
farmers of his native Georgia and;
the south many years ago is as sound |
today as it was when it was uttered.
One particular gem of his which
has been often republised is of parti
[cular significance just now. It applies
equally to north or south, provided
the principal money crop of any par
ticular section be substituted for
j “cotton,” where it occurs in the orig
inal. Grady said;
“When every farmer in the south
shall eat bread from his own fields
' and meat from his own pastures, and
disturbed by no creditor and enslav
ed by no debt, shall sit among his
teeming gardens and orchards and
vineyards and dairies and barnyards,
pitching his crops in his own wisdom
and growing them in independence,
making cotton his clean surplus and
selling it in his own time and in his
chosen market and not at a master’s
bidding—getting his pay in cash and
not in a receipted mortgage that dis
charges his debt but does not restore
his freedom—then shall be breaking
the fullness of our day.”

TIME TO GET FALL I
PIGS FOR THE PIG CLUB
At the Southeastern fair the Pig
club pigs of each breed are shown in'
two ages, called senior and junior
pigs. The senior pigs are those I
dropped between September and:
, March preceding the fall in which the
fair is held and are about a year old
at the time of the fair. Junior pigs
are those farrowed after March 1I
preceding the fair and are about 6
months old. In each of these classes
a boy may show boars, gilts, barrows
or pens of barrows.
By dividing our pigs between the;
two ages and the different sexes we
can greatly increase the number of
prizes possible for us to take.
In addition to this, it seems to me
that there has been a little less com-
I petition in the fall pigs than in the
spring pigs. At the fair this year
everyone of our fall pigs won a prize.
There are some other advantages
about growing our fall pigs. The
breeding stock will come into produc
tion sooner and the barrows will
make larger hogs at killing time.
For these reasons I would like to
have your orders before I go. See
I me or write me right away.
i The banks of the county have
helped boys get pigs by lending them
money to buy with, and they are still
i willing to do this. We are going to
arrarnge for mutual insurance that
will protect you from loss. So there
is no reason why a boy who wants to
make some money out of pigs and
have a chance at the prizes that are
Nothing is as high as the high cost
of loafing.
The poorest people on earth may
have the largest bank account.
I offered should not come into the club.
This is a good chance for a father i
I who wants to develop interest in
! farming and business habits in his
I boy to give his boy a chance.
1 would be glad to talk this over
with the boys themselves or their fa
; thers, and I certainly hope we will
have a good number of fall pigs
grown out this year.
MENLO FARMERS’ DINNER.
The Menlo Farmers’ club met on '
Nov. 6 with Mr. and Mrs. Chamlee!
for their November dinner. Although
! several members were absent, there,
was still a very good attendance and!
a very interesting meeting. Mrs.!
Chamlee served a delightful dinner!
that was perfect in all its appoint-:
ments.
In the business session the subject,
of fall planting of grain and fall turn- '
ing of land was discussed. It was,
shown from figures given out by the
State College of Agriculture covering 1
ten years that the yield of oats from
Oct. 15 sowing was more than double
that from Nov. 15 sowing.
At the next meeting, which will be
held with Mr. and Mrs. George Ag
new, members entering the Farmers’;
club one-acre corn contest will re
port on their yields, and methods of
corn raising will be discussed.
All members of the club regret to
lose Mr. and Mrs. Garvin for the win- i
ter months, due to the fact that they
are spending the winter in Florida.
We hope they will be back with us,
however, in the spring.

One thing a man nexer boasts about
; is his honesty, when it’s real.
