BOOKS
Many of the finer things are to be
found in books if we profit J>y the
opinions of learned1 people.- The following
expresses the estimate of a
few writers as to value of bocks:
Channlng said: God' be thanked
for books. They are the voices of the
distant and the dtead. and make us
heir of. the spiritual life of the past
agrs. Tn the beet hooks, great men
talk to us, give us our most preclcus
thoughts, and pour their souls Into
ours.
Carlvle said: All that mankind has
?ione, thought or been, is lying as in
magic preservation in the pages of
books. They are the chosen possession
of men.
Emerscn said: Otve me a book,
health, and a June day, and I will
make the pomp of kings look ridiculous.
Philip Prooks thought that , four
, kindfe of books should he In every
library. Memoirs. biography, pro-1 ]
traits and letters. Good books cost
you little In money, but they may i
cost you years and decades of toll!
and labor and energy If permltter to
pass through life without knowing
the finer Ideal of life revealed In
books. All of these estimates en- 1
florae the value of a public library.? .

COUNTRY EDITOR ,

Records Of Farm
Business Important
A farmer is a business man ?ant
Mho a scientist, a merchant, a finar
tier, a manufacturer, and someiimei
weather prophet. A business mar
keeps records of his profit aiid loss
and a fanner should do the same
says R. W. Shoffner, farm .manage
ment specialist of the. State College
Extension Service.
Money invested iu land, equlpmea
and buildings is no different from
that invested in stocks and1 bonds
Money invested In stocks and bond)
Is expected to return the owner pro.
fit. Likewise* an investment in land
and farm equipment is expected tt
jit Id a profit or give a return or
the investment, the specialist do
clared.
In order that weaknesses in th<
farm set-up can be determined ant
a basis for future opeiat.ons can b?
worked out, farm recc-rds are highl)
important, Shoffner said. With s
good farm record, one can detenuim
as a general rule, scurces of large*
receipts, most costly items, returm
for the year's work, and the offloler
cy of capital Invested, which, li
turn, is a general measure of man
agcrial efficiency.

Voluntary Patriot 1
Pointed As Best
New York, N. Y., Sept. 6.?(IPS).
--A program through which Ameri- ,
cans can best maintain "voluntary <
patriotism" was advanced here re- ,
cently by A. W. Hawkes, President
of Congoleum-Nairn, Inc., Kearney,
N. J., in a nationwide broadcast
sponsored by the General Federation
of Women's Clubs.
Mr. Hawkes. a National Vice- Pres
idiot of the National Association of
Manufacturers, declared that there
are two main divisions of patriotism
the "voluntary" and involuntary'
kind.
'No real American can doubt the
frreat value of voluntary patriotism
as compared with involuntary pattiotlsm,'
he declarod. "Voluntary pa
tiiotlsm is founded on individual lib
erty, freedom, and the pursuit of hap'
pitiess, including freedom of religious
worship and the right of assemblage
and free speech. Whereas In\
oluntary patriotism is the result
ct force and coercion, wherein the
state or the master of the state defines
the conduct and life of the individual.
* ,i
"Voluntary patriotism can only
exist through support of the principle
that Right makes Might, and. eternal
vigilance in seeking and main
tnlning Right can toe the only way to
support the type of voluntary patri"tlsm
which should domlnlate the
hearts and minda of our people. Vol
yetary patriotism should never result
In a war of aggression ? seeks
tlie counsel table and seeks the |
peaceful volution of differences ?
!s all-powerful in defense of Right.
"There can be no high-grade patriotism
In our people unless.we are
inltei on fundamentals and the support
and protection of a true Intert?
elation of our United States Constation
