To Tbe Editor o! The Hertford
County Herald.
- /
For sometime I have bad it in
mind to contribute to your colums
a abort article on the needed day
aspirations of ctjjjfT."
and 1 believe U i* a very suitable
time for ua to dwell on - these aa
pirations. In the south* we are
just fully recovering from tbe
evil effecta of the war among the
states, and after the preaent bloody,
cruely, and selfish war of the old
country is over, I believe that the
South will bloasom like a rose. We
wiil have every material advan
tage, and it only behooved us to
take advantage of the conditions
surrounding us. In many re
spects we are just learning how to
live, how to develop our bodies
and minds, our roads and our
farms, our schools and our
churches, our business enterprises
slid our institutions in general.
W'1" ia it that can look back at
our conditions twenty years ago,
and compare them with those of
today, and not be a genuine opti
mist about the future of the south!
Hut eacli one of us must do bis
part iu our future development.
Everyone has been given a
special gift, and no one has been
left out. Each one should hare his
ideals and strive to reach them,
even though his theoretical ideals
will grow beyond Isis grasp as bis
practical progress advances toward
them. This is just as it should be.
We must be workers and buillers
and not drones and deatructiomats;
we must .work together for the
lietterment of ourselves and our
communities, be patient and en
dure the hardships of things we
cannot impiove. Desire grows by
what it feeds on. The Lhiugs that
measure in our lives are visions,
dreams, idefls, desires, not what
we posess but what we want to be.
All good things are born of aspir
ation, and no worse misfortune
can befall any of us than to be
without them.
Youth is not onlv the golden
age. but the seed tilpe of life,
and for us explorers have traveled,
poets and philosophers have writ
ten, scientiesU have fouud the
mysteries of nature, and before
us of tbe twentieth century stands
the age of promise, and on noise
less hinge opens to him who
knocks.
But we are wanting to know
what ia the essential thing' of life,
and not waste our thought and ener
gies on the non essentials. I can
not give a sure recipe, but I am
thoroughly convinced, in the first
place, success depends upon the
recognition of God's good nets.
We are in" God's world, and it
will change our whole attitude to
recognize it. And then in the se
cond place, we need to come to
the conciousness of our ignorance,
because we are not only . ready to
learn when igoorance is known.
And, in the third place, we
need to realize some responsibi
lities. Let us be responsible for
aomathing in the home, in the
Sunday school, in the church, in
the community; nothing develops
one so rapidly as the feeling of re
sponsibility; and in the fourth
place, we must have a living de
sire for wisdom, nntf ior*1 selfish
purposes, nor for fame, but to
have good judgement; witlumt
good judgement life will be a fail
ure. V
One must have base wisdom and
character in order to properly fill
a useful function in society to-day.
^ In the mad rush of modern sciety,
( there is more need than ever be
fore for Christian Education, for
safe and sane characters. As eter
nal authority moves, the individ
t ual soul must be strengthened, the
enlightened conscience plus educa
, tion will prove to be a safe guard.
I But what is education) It is
I training for service and in service.
' The ideal is that every person must
1 be trained to develop' all his
, powers for service, and that, plus
> service is dedicated to some real
i help for bis fellows. The most
beautiful and sublime sight in the
i world to me is that of a young
, man, or woman, fighting his way
from poverty to plenty, and from
' '
ignorance and selfishness to a IiikIt
er life. ^
A* we look at our social organi
zation, we tee tliat it is very com
plex and defective. There are
incral letters on every hand. The
work of humanity for humanity ia
tins noblest work of man. Our
ores are so interwoven that a
modern philosopher has said:
"That no one can be perfectly moral
until all are moral, no one can be
perfectly happy until all are happy,
no one can be perfectly wise until
all are wise." 1 cannot liel^ be
lieviug that there must be remedies
for these gigantic evils, and like
the mariner who lashes himself to
the mast of the ship in order to
save the vessel, so we must throw
ourselves into the midst of the
light if we do any effective work
in saving and developing our
selves. our homes and our com
munity.
I believe that there ia a great
future for us, and while it be
hooves us to obtain material pros
perity, to obtain better homes, bel
ter living conveniences, we must
have higher ideals and aspirations
as to developing our physical and
mental powers, and our characters
in the future prosperity that ia
sure to dawn opon ua.
The fundamental thing in life is
not money or fame, nor good
times, nor athletics, nor selfish
honors, but it ia to choose the
right course in life, and then, with
fearless honesty, be courageous
and energetical in lighting the
nearest battles and in doing the
nearest duties. By so doing, great'
will be our rewards.

Farmers Convention. ?
One of the beat programs ever
offered the men and women of the
state was given during the thir
teenth annual State Farmers Con
vention and Farm Women'* Coti
vfntion held at the Agricultural

began to arrive at the college on
Monday, August 23, and by Tues
day a considerable number ware
on hand. The number kept in
creasing until Wednesday noon
when tlie grounds were covered
with people discussing the morn
ing speeches.
The seventy-one dsmonstrtion
I agents in the state arrived at the
college on August 17. with about
two hundred and twenty-five boys
to attend the short course for'club
boys and the Agents School.
TLese meetings were continued
until the farmers convention met,
at which time the agents joined in
the work of the convention The
increased number of ladies in at
tendance at the college shows the
favor with which tliey look on the
work of the Extension Set vices in
the lines of Home Economics and
Demonstration Work. This is the
fifth convention for the ladies.
The business of farming and
better health conditions in the
rural districts occupied the princi
pal places in the convention. Each
morning the men and women met
together to discuss such topics as
were MiCommon interest and each
evening a joint meeting was also
held in which illustrated lectures
were given. The afternoons were
devoted to conferences in regard
to different phases of agricultural
work iind were led by men who
were experienced along the lines of
discussion.
The ladies met in the afternoon
to discuss questions and problems
with which they had to deal and
spent some time in regard to the
questions of better social condi
tions in the farin home, the or
ganization and - work- of rural
clubs, the matter of beautifying
the home, and the marketing and
d re pa ration of vegetable from the
home garden.
The close attention and the pre
sence of note-books among many
of the visitors spoke well for the
speakers, who were selected by
the college to deliver the addresses
and lead toe conferences.?Exten

Cigarettes Ys. Automobiles. *
The Cadillac Motor Car Com
pany has posted throughout its
factories the following notice:
"Cigarette smoking is acquiring
a hold on a great many boys in
our comm init.y. The habit has
grown in the last year or two.
Since it is such a bad practice and
is taking such a hold upon so many
people. We think it is a disgrace
for a grown man to smoke ciga
rettes, because it is not only in
jurious to his health, but it is such
a bad example to the boys. Boys
whjO smoke cigarettes we do not
care to keep in our employ. In
the future we will not hire anyone
whom we know to he addicted to
thie habit. It is our desire to
weed it eulirely out of the factory
just as soon as practicable. We
will ask everyone in our factorv.
who sees the seriousness of this
habit, to use his influence in hav
ing it stamped out. We have two
objects in interesting ourselves in
this matter: first, to help men and
boys; second, we believe that men
who do not smoke curettes or
frequent the saloon can make bet
ter automobiles than those that
do."?Health Bulletin.
