John Lee Mhin, a Chicago advertising
expert, says that if merchants
would use the same copy contained
in a circular letter and place it in
their local paper. the> would secure
greater circulation at less expense.
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.

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 '

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

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.

ecommend the purchase of four new
nattresses for the jail. We also recunmend
that an uncovered piazza
