'I have hot been inclined in my
annual report to take a very
cheerful view of the future of this
association. I have predicted,
year after year, a speedy decline
in the income, based on natural
and unavoidable conditions. Jn
1912, I Tegret to, say, a most , de

In the history of the association
has such a large percentage of
camps paid their dues as in 1913.
The amounts, of course, are small

excess of any preceding year, j
I cannot think that those hold

the burden of responsibility rest

-cause, however,' their responses
for the past year have not been so
numerous as formerlv. Holdintr
all the honors the association can

a Lesson For' Us AJL
While walking through a ' crowded
down town street the other day
I heard a little urchin to his comrade
turn and say:
"Say; Jimmy, let me tell youse, I'd be
happy as a clam '
If I only was de feller dat me mudder
tinks I am.
'Gee, Jim, she tinks I'm a wonder.
and she knows her little lad
Could never mix wid nothln, dat was
ugly, mean or bad. -:
Lots er time I sits and tinks how nice
'twould be, gee whiz,
tt a feller only was de feller dat this
mudder tinks hft is!" . . n
My friends, be yours a life of toil or
undiluted joy, -
You still can learn a lesson from
this small, unlettered boy,
Don't aim to be an earthly saint with
your eyes fixed on a star;
Just try to be the fellow that your
mother thinks you are. Ex.

Secretary McAdoo's View as to
Internal Revenue Collectors. r '
V Secretary McAdob of the Treas
ury is serving notice on senators
and representatives who have can
didates for internal revenue eol
lectorships ; that, in viewof the
fact that there will soon be an in
come tax5 law, unusual care will
be exercised in the appointment of,
internal revenue collectors. TKe
department, he' is telling the Congressmen,-will
'insist on obtaining
the services of ' high-grade men.
The secretary'says that it is of the
highest importance that men who
might be swayed by personal or
political influences shall not be
put in charge of the: collection of
the new tax. As a result, of the
rule that had been laid down by
the secretary, some senators and
representatives are .having Ho re-
timately fof twenty-five years, j vise their recommendations.
during that time I never heard
him say an unkind word about
any. one. lie was a gooa man in
every sense of the word, and in
his death the state loses a partiot
ic and useful citizen and his. wife
a faithful and devoted Husband.. .

Dr. Crane on "Going to Sleep."
.A man should make his toilet
as carefully for going to' bed as for
the business of the day.
Certain physical things are con
ducive to sleep, such as plenty of
sweet, outdoor air,. the absence of
uoises, of lights and of bad odors,
j.iid above all a feeling of tired
ness. There are also certain mental
and spiritual preparations.
To be intensely interested in
anything is fatal to sleep; so also
are the memory, of a rankling
failure, plan-making, problem
solving, apprehension, shame and
remorse.
The soul must take off its inter
estedness as the body must re
move, its vestments.
Passions of any kind, cravings
and all heats are against sleep
One is very fortunate who has a
habit of prayer, for there is noth
ing can still the soul like purging
the conscience before God,; and
cares, pricking annoyances, dreads
and all mental tensions can be
remedied in no way more sa'tisfac
tcrily than by letting the con
sciousness of. God wash the soul.
A sense Of friendliness and
peace toward the Infinite is the
surest medicine for- sleep. Dr.
Frank Crane in Woman's World

TALES GOOD SENSE.
President - Finley, of the Southern
. Railway, on Boys' Corn Clubs.
The boys' corn clubs has been
one of the greatest factors in
checking the flow of the country
boys to the town. In a recent ad-
Jl i n r -rrr i-tt i i
uress oi jur. w. v. jf iniey, ne
said: . ' . i
"When the late Dr. Seaman
Knapp instituted the organization
ot these clubs he created what' I
believe will be a most effective
instrumentality for checking the
movement of the boys from the
farm. As 1 have said on a pre
vious occasion, the most import
ant work being done by these
clubs is not the growing of corn
but the raising of farmers. The
boy who goes into ona ot' these
clubs and follows" the methods
which are advised by the doiuon
stator, and who succeeds in grow-,
ing as- much corn on a single acre
as his father grows on from two
to four or even five acres; is a
convert to scientific, farming. He
has learned that farming can be
made profitable. He will want to
apply the samemethods to larger
acres and to other crops. He be
comes an optimist and,' especially
if he is permitted to have a fair
interest in what he helps to pTO-
auce, i peneve tnat the lure or
the city will seldom be strong
enough to draw him from the
farm. " 1 1

.The Civil Service Commission
has ruled that deputy -collectors
of internal revenue will go out of
office with their chiefs in spite of
the tact that they are under the
civil service law. It is asserted
by the commmission that deputy
collectors occupy a semi-confiden
tial relationship to collectors and
for this reason are not permanent
officials of the government. Nevr
deputy collectors will be appoint
ed where vacancies occur from the
civil service eligible list. The
ruling ' of 'jthe commission meaiis-
that as rapidly as internal reve
uue collectors are appointed civil
service examinations for deputies
will have to be held. , Storekeep
ers and gangers do not come un
der this rule and will continue to
serve under the new collectors.

NEEDS OF TIE SOUTH. )
Great Industrial Journal Interest
. ed in Coming . Section of The
Country.
the Manufacturers' Record
says that what the south needs is
not s.o much immigration as' it is
fewer loafers. This journal says
that we really need some high;
ciass toreign immigration but if
we could get the loafing whites
and negroes of the south to work,
. -a a '
the labor situation would be great
ly relieved. The Record says:
There ought to be a campaign
of education in every yillage,town
and city in the south, in every
country district and wherever men
loaf, to teach people that the idle.
loafing boy or man, white or black,
hanging around street corners,
sitting on store boxes, or loafing
around the .depots,: is a disgrace
to the community and is one of the
community 's heaviest liabilities.
Several -years ago a railroad
contractor in North Georgia had
as body-servant a faithful old ante-bellum
negro known as Uncle
Jake. One day there came a sud
den emergency in which a large
number of extra hands were need
ed. The boss sent Uncle Jake ta
town to get some extra men. - In
an hour or two he retrned ap
parently very much' disgusted
with himself and the world in gen
eral, and when the boss asked him
what was the matter, he said :
4 'Deed, Marse William, I couldn't
get any hands. The idle loafiW
niggers won't work.", And then,
as though a bright idea had struck
him, he. added : ' f Marse-; William,
God Almighty has lost money on
every nigger He has raised sense
de war." . V '
The old darkey had the idea
that the negro who would not
work , was worthless to" man, and
to God ; but he could have made a
broader application of the
thought. The loafing, drinking
white man ,or boy is : about as
worthless as the idle, negro. It Js
teur that our whole country is
cursed with many '.; idle, ' loafing
peoples-white and black, living
on what others are doing, sapping
the vitality of the community and
becoming an ever-increasing bur
den. But it is with the south that
we are; especially concerned.
