The cost of postage, paper, and labor in a circular letter will buy, considerable newspaper space. If some merchants would put the same careful thought into their newspaper ads that they employ in wrtlng a , circular letter, they would ggt still more for their money. o One of our leadinf farmers, and incidentally a staunch supporter of I The Mews, while in the office yester-jl day stated- "Young man. keep on 1 hammering after the flour mill. We ' know you mention the necessity of ' one quite often, hut continue your 3 efforts and say more. With the com- ' Ing of the dreaded boll weevil soon 1 the farmer must raise his corn, meat ' and flour at home, therefore, will, certainly noed a flour mill in Lan-j* caster." Mr. Huslness Man, what ' better evidence do you want thft a ' email flour mill would bo a paying ' proposition In Lancaster? ' T1 THK HOY OR THK H<K*. t For some weeks now farmers all over the State in the various counties will be flocking to the local fairs, some to exhibit to the public the results of their efforts and others to see and observe and prollt by the results achieved by their fellows. Among the many attractions to bej seen at these fairs is the inevitable big fat hog. 11 is hopship usually tips the beam at very excessive figures, and we stand and marvel at the labor and patience it must have required to develop such a swinish perfection. Then if we are thinking men our thoughts will probably pass on to wonder if the owner of this marvel has sons of his own. and as to how ' great an enori ne is making to de velop them to the highest type to < which they are capable of attaining. < The hog's owner has been careful to t eliminate from its progenitors all ( that would tend to take from its full t and complete development. lias he t been just as careful to weed out ot % his own life habits and traits of 1 character that would militate against 1 the proper development of his son? Often we have seen a boy succeed I in life despite the shortcomings of a f derelict father, and we have contented ourselves with-the simple remark that the boy is a great imn provement on the father. The tribute is weak and paltry. Little do we reckon of the tight the boy has waged in order to rise above his sur- 1 roundings and overcome his handt- ? ?aps. Environment is mighty and pow- a ?rful for good or evil. The greatest blessing a boy can tiave is parents who can point and v guide him toward higher things - ' 1 E higher heights even than those to " which they have attained. At the risk of seeming to preach d we wish to say to the fathers of this section that when you look upon the s big hog you have seen the ultimate. ' Nothing further is attainable unless, a possibly, it be a little more of the ' porcine perfection. Hut when you ' look upon your small son. how little ' vou can see of the limitless possibili-|( ties for good and ill that lie in that small mind and heart, and how yourj1 care of him is going to mould his life a into almost whatever you may will to make it! | ' "Why not think less of the big hog151 i V and more of the small boy? ? FACTIONS. 1/ One of the greatest evils with ' which the human race has to con-,1' tend is factionalism. Factions are 1 to be found more or less among all r classes and business, but unfortu- r iiiiiuiy ior me masses of the people 11 the political held seems to furnish ' the most fertile soil in which the1' seed of discord, envy, spite and hate. 11 Ihe faction parent, are sown, and of s late years, in this grand and glo- s rious land of ours, truly can it be y said "the harvest is plenty." Since the dawn, of civilization lac- v tions have played an important part " 11 the affairs of man in every clime, vv ind. we presume, will continue so 1 intiI the end of lime, .lulius Car ?r. 11 rassus and I'ompey formed a tri- ' unvirate which ru'ed Home and " caperl a rich harvest off Roman civ- 11 lizatlon. It was the ino--t powerful j" political factioi/ known in human " listor.v. It destroyed the confidence '' >f 111 epoople in the government and '' lastened the downfall of Rome. w vhich resulted in plunging the world 81 uto the dark ages. Factions are al- ? vays formed to reap: they nevei 81 ?ow, and while disbursing one class if property among all others, they1'1 evy a heavy tribute for their labors '' \ pooling- of political power is the 81 uost dangerous faction that was P >ver formed in ancient or modern uvilization. ? Therefore let those who would w ice our community and our great ' date travel the trunk line of pro- j t;ress beware of factions, as well as '' those who endeavor to create them. ? that chase each other, dagger in '' liand. across the political arena, avoid ' he hitter clash of classes that cause ' fear and consternation to roll over " the land like a Hood, and put out the ' smoldering tires of discord before they burst into flaming fury and the ' pathetic moan of a divided people ' iiiis ine ianu. l%5^WAKE OF FACriONS. rOMMI'NITV IX?Y.\I,TV. y o Have you ever stopped to consider the fact that loyalty to community n interests is the highest type of patriotism? Show us the man who is loyal and true to every interest of tiis own community and we will show rou in that same individual a man in whom his country can repose absoute confidence in any emergency hat calls for his allegiance. On the other hand, the man who is h areless and unconcerned for the in- y orests of his community Is more n han apt to display the same spirit tl )f Indlfferenco toward his govern- e nont or his Stato should any se- 0 TE LANCASTER NEWS PR ious danger threaten either. One of the most commendable raits of the old Sctoch highlanders ,vas their loyalty to their own clan. Jood or bad. right or wrong, the elm lad their first allegiance. The life ind service of each member were always cheerfuly placed at the disjosal of the clan. Try to imagine an entire State omposed of innumerable coinmunlies welded and cemented into a symmetrical whole, each striving to >xcel the others, but each, front its )wr local loyalty, developing a troader and deeper loyalty that eaches out and embraces the whole. Utopia, you say? My no means. Merely what could and would be the esult if we could only be brought to see that we owe allegiance to our >wn people, but that the prosperit> M others is in no wise a detriment o us, but rather a help: that if each ommunity would develop itself to lie utmost?physically, mentally and noralty? none would need bo enious of others, neither would any leed do aught to oetract from anither's interests. Let us develop community loyalty o the full?the highest possible orm of patriotism. RKPORT OF GUAM) JURY. "o His Honor. T. J.
