The general sentiment expressed at the Belbaven fair yesterday
waa : "Aurora will have to go some to beat this*" And Aurora
WILL have to go some! The Belhavvn fair was a wonder. It
showed what a progressive people eon do when !he\ get- started. It
took a lot of work to get up an exhibit like that but those who gave
theii time and labor to it, do not regret the efforts spent. It was a
fair of whieh any community might well feel proud and by next
year the citizens of that section promise something that will e: I ipse
all past fairs ever held in this county.
COMMUNITY LOYALTY.
Have you ever stopped to consider the fact that loyalty to com
munity interests is the highest type of patriotism? Show us the
man who is loyal and true to every interest of his own community and
wo will show you in that same individual a man in whom his coun
try can repose absolute confidence in any emergency that calls for
his allegiance.
On the other hand, the man who is careless and unconcerned for
the interests of his community is more than apt to display the same
spirit of indifference toward his government or his state should any
serious danger threaten either.
One of the most commendable traits of the old Scotch highlandora
was their lovahy to their own clan. (i??od ?-r bad, right or wrong,
the elan had their tir-t allegiance. The life and services of each
member were always cheerfully placed at the disposal of the clan.
Try to imagine an entire state composed of innnerable communi
ties welded and cemented into a svmmetriral whole, each striving to
excel the others, but each, from its own local loyalty, developing a
broader and deeper loyalty (hat reaches out and embraces the whole.
I* topi a, you say { Hv no means. Merely what could and would
be the result if we could only be brought to see that w ?? owe allegiance
to our own people, but that the prosperity of others is in no wise a
detriment to u>. but rather a help; that if each community would
develop itself to the utmost ? physically, mentally and morally ? none
would need to be envious of others, neither would any need do aught
to detract from another's interests.
Let us develop community loyalty to the fe.ll ? the highest possible
form of patriotism.
THE HOY. Oil THE IIOO.
For some week- now farmers all over t he states and counties haw
been llotking to the local fairs, some t? exhibit to the public the re
sult* of their efforts and others to sec and observe and profit by the
Jesuit- achieved l?y their fellows.
Among the many attractions to Ik* seen at these fairs is the inevi
table big fat hog. His h.irship usually tips the beam around one
thousand pounds, and we stand and marvel at the labor and paiienee
it must have required to develop such swinish perfection.
Then if we are thinking men our thought* will probably pa-* on to
wonder if the owner of this marvel has * us of his own. and as to how
great an effort he is making to develop tin m t.> the highest type of
which they are capable of attaining. The hog's owner has been care
ful to eliminate from its progenitor? all that u uld tend to Take ir m
its full and complete development. Has he lx*cn just a- careful t >
weed out of his own life habits and traits of character that would
militate against the development of his -on;
Often we have seen a b y f.ucc??cd in life despite the shortcomings
of a derelirt father, and we have contented oinvlve- with the simple
remark that the boy is a great improvement on the father. The trilh
ii 1 e is weak and paltry." Little do we know of the fight the boy has
waged in orderMo rise above hi- surroun lings and overcome Ins ban
Environment is miirhty and powerful for piod < r evil. The great
est blessing a bov can have is parents who can point nnd guide hirti
towaid higher things ? higher heights even than th.se to which they
have attained. 1
At the risk of seeming to preach we wi-lt to say to the fathers of
this section that when you look upon the big hog von have seen tho
ultimate. Nothing further is obtainable unless, p ssihlv, it l*? a lit
tle more of the same porcine perfection. 1 5nt when you look upon
your small son. how little yr?u can see of the limitless possibilities for
good and ill that lie in rhat small mind and In art. and hew your ear"
ef him i- ff-dng to mould his life into almost whatever y ?ii may will
to make ir !

A RUtAI. IMC tike.
The joy a ? the benefits- -of rural lif?' tb" subject f poetic word j
picture by Howard (?oldsmith of Xew York. With a photo of hU
old I>utch stone farm house in I'ochland coirn'v, that state. built 200
year- a ?< >, showing a lake around which fr-dic his live children, he
issued rln following <*r nviii'*"n:r vignette:
A1 ? rul this litt!^ lake are five r a* n? why w l?v ? in tin* country.
There are other reasons, but like this picturesque old house, they are
a background.
On the farm these children are near enough to town and city t en
joy nil the essential l?enefits of l?oth.
They have advantages that neither the town nor t h'- eity enn supply.
They are learning to work with their bands nlnl to sr ? what they
look at.
They arr getting ideas and finding how to put tin m intt effect.
Thcv observe thecrcati^V' forces of Nature, getting fundamentals on
whieli character and industry are built.
And it's all so interesting, they don't realize that they're being!
schooled.
In the citv a family in three generations run* out. The tendency
is to pifttern ? to oopy, slavishly, a standard m-dcl.
The country encourages differentiation and orginality. Ir breeds
new types. To prevent his crops running out, the fanner practices
rotation -and to prcesrve the virility of the race. Nature implants
an urge for the land.
It's a healthy condition and impulse, and without it we would die j
at the top.
If you can live in the country for even a part, of the year, it will i
b* good for yorv
And if ymi hare children, it may he the best, cheapest and biggest]
thing yon can do for them.
