TODAY and NAMES races) The commonest family name In America is still Smith, according to the largest list ot names yet compiled. That is the list of 39, 000,000 workers to whom Soclai Security numbers have been as signed. More than 470,000 of them are named Smith. The John sons come next, with 350,000 names. Next in frequency are Brown, Williams, Miller and Jones. A man's name is no sure indi cation of his ancestry, since in America one's name is whatever one chooses to call himself. Most people, however, keep the names of their fathers and grandfathers. The preponderance of the names, I have listed indicates that the dominant racial strains in Ameri ca are still Britsh, German and S Scandinavian. Smith is a name almost as com-t mon in Scotland as in England, though many Smiths are of Ger-; man stock, their names having j once been Schmidt. The names ofj Williams and Jones are distinctly Welsh. Johnson may be either Scandinavian, English or Scottish. Miller is English or German, and! so is Brown. ? ? ? JOBS ...... ability Speaking of unemployment, a friend said to me the other day: "The greatest area of unemploy ment is above the ears." He was trying to emphasize the truth that most people do not use their beads when looking for jobs. A day or two later I saw a newspaper paragraph about a young college graduate who used his head so well that he got four jobs when he only wanted one. He took competitive examinations lor engineering posts in the Army and Marine Corps and applied for Army service on the strength of bis college record in the Reserve Officers Training Corps. Then he went out and hustled for a job in private employment, and got one. After he had gone to work he received notice that he had been appointed to the Army post and that he had passed both of his en gineering examinations. That boy, of course, had special qualifications. But the point is that he didn't sit down and wait for a job to come his way. He used his head and got four jobs! Almost everybody has some spec ial ability. Too few use their heads to find where those abili ties are needed. WORK .... incompetency A young friend of mine started in business for himself as a plum bing contractor about three years ago. He had no capital, but a lot of intelligence and moral courage. He knew his trade and was will ing to work hard. He told me the other day that he had jobs for a dozen good workmen if he could find them. The trouble with most workers, he said, was they tried to get by with poor wqrk and take things easy. A building contractor I know will not hire young workmen be cause, he says, they don't use their heads and don't take their work seriously enough to master their trades. I don't know how far that is true generally, but I have an idea that it is pretty general. I think that the idea that boys should be kept in school until they are 16, or 18 has made white collar loafers out of a great many young Americans who could have become first-class artisans if they Bad been allowed to work when they were young enough to learn a trade. ? ? ? EDUCATION . . . learning There is a homely old proverb which says: "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." All the schooling in the world will not make a scholar out of a per son who is not capable of learn ing. Those who are capable will acquire learning and often wis dom in spite of lack of education al "advantages." I was re-reading the other night Rudyard Kipling's autobiography. What struck me most forcibly was his efforts at self-education. He was under 16 when he quit school to go to work on a small dally paper in India. Inside of ten years his name was known all over the world. He was the greatest liter ary genius of modern times. No university could have given him the understanding of people and lit* which he learned at first hand from personal contacts and hard work.

These young men received this merit on the basis of both their scholastic records and for outstanding achievement in their farm prac tice program. They were chosen from the ranks of their fellows at the Tenth Anniversary State Con vention held at State College re cently. According to Roy H. Thomas, Stat<; Supervisor of Vo cational Agriculture, this is the largest number of boys being awarded this degree in any one year. - Reading, left to right in the picture are, front row: William McCracken of the Smoky Moun tains National Park Chapter, Hay wood county; Harold Francis.

CHARACTER . . . education The older I grow, the more I realize that the qualities which we call "character" are more im portant than learning or technical i skill. A man may know every- 1 thing in the books, be a master of his craft, but if he lacks charac-j ter he is heading for disaster, no' matter how high a position he! ' may reach. The world thought highly of: 'Richard Whitney. He thought' well of himself. He had intelli-i gence. ability and qualities of leadership far above the average, j But he had, also, ambition and: personal vanity which made him believe that he was not bound by the ethical codes which men of | honor follow. He is in Sing Sing prison today because, when he came to the test, he did not have the essential quality of character. I knew, years ago, the most skilful engraver in the world. He had everything but character. He quit his job with the Government, to become a counterfeiter. He is in Efison now. , Education which does not build character is worse than no educa tion at all. The proprietor of a big store ; noticed an assistant dozing up against the wall of one of the de partments. He consulted the man- j ager about the matter. Manager ? I can't do a thing with him. I've had him in three different departments, and he doz es all day long. Proprietor ?

ANSWER: This- depends up on the condition of the tobacco and the care exercised in handling. As a general rule, tobacco should be marketed as soon after curing as is practical. After the weed has been left for a few days in the pack house and then "cooped" to allow the leaves to straighten out and undergo any changes nec essary for the improvement in color, it should then be graded and marketed. If graded tobac co is held over, it should be re packed at least once ^day to pre vent mold in case the\^ee<J, has a little too much moisture. QUESTION: Is it wise to op erate on a chicken with an im pacted crop? ANSWER: No. Most farm birds are low priced individuals with egg production as their main: When You Feel Sluggish (Constipated) Take a dose or two of Black Draught. Feel fresh for a good day's work.
