One of the boys in the shop asked,
"Why do yoc waste money to bay
cats and waste space on the front
page for such pictures!" ,
To many this question would be
meat appropriate, but let's look into
the matter and see. To as, theae boys
deserve their pictures not only in a
small country newspaper, but their
pictures should appear in some biff
newspaper if not in every big news
-1 taper. And it is Just this that we *ay
so. They do net bother with work,
they keep their troubles to themselves,
they look for nothing better, seem to
be perfectly satisfied, can support a
danee when they want to, can turn
down and refuse aid to a good caifce
and yet feel right about it. They go
well dressed, clean shaven, and every
thing. Now, anybody who can do that
oeserves not only credit, newspaper
space, but also praise. If we
ceased our labors for jast one week,
we would be hungry and ragged, owe
more than we do. Our neighbor's and
friends' respect would be forever lost.
Rut not so with these boys, and can
we blame them?
We often hear some one cursing the
middleman or the speculator. We
shouldn't do that, he deserves praise.
It is oar own selves that should be
kicked, for it is from us that he makes
kia living. We have got te head him
off, show him that we are not "put
ting out" for him in no such fashion;
show him that he can join in the
ranks and make his living as others
do. Let kim know that the wages he
should receive are to be compared
with value given, and that he can not
ilrlm the cream and leave the weak
ened milk for seme one else who d»-
servee the cream and not the skim
med milk.
Since we stick up for theee boys,
we wonder would It be going too far
to mention what we think is the
American Education
The American educational system is
being ridiculed by English scholar*
without WUtfT —
One leading teacher of England
nji that an "English sixth term boy
will go to Cambridge with a sounder
scholarship than meet American B. A s
when they leave college with honors,
because the colleges and university*
have to make up for wasted years of
boyhood and do what in England ia
fifth-form work" /
If we give this charge doe thought
It wfll bring ua to the realisation of
an awful tnth and force ua to admit
the tragedy ef it
The trend in America is to pass by
while the requirement in England ia
to work through all phases of prifc-
Uma and things, mastering them bo
fese passing en.
It ia a feet that American youth
haa so time for education, becauee
sil its faculties are set to absorb
We like to can ourselves thinking
people, while wo loan back and let
others think for as.

How Do They Do It?
trouble. We don't know whether you
will agree with us or not, but that is
of little importance here. It is our
honest opinion that the parents have
borne the burden, have striven for
their children, neglected their own
needs that their children might have
what they did not have. We are in
a position to say that besides giving:
up te their childron many things
there have been other sacrifices. Sac
rifice* that many children know noth
ing about. Many a night the parents
have remained awake, worrying for
the safety of their children, hoping
that they would be in befesre too late
an hour. Eight here is where the
trouble lien. Instead of meeting then,
with outstretched arms, a goed-sized
h'ekory stick with enough determina
tion behind it to make an impression
should have bepn ready to greet them.
Ihen, next morning, the beloved child
would not rise about noon, wander to
the drug sto* and leaf the remainder
of the day.
Another (juestien, Would they work
if they got a chance? It ia ear hon
est opinion that they would, but the
odds are against them because they
get up too late to aeek a job. It is
always the same old slogan, "I'll start
tomorrow," and tomorrow never
comes. No one is interested enough
to give them a start. Let him do the
best he can, Hfc'A get there somehow.
Charles M. Sehwab eould tell these
beys that they are on the wrong
track, but it isn't hie place. The job
i 3 nearer home thtoi that.
We are not trying to euat aay re
flection upon these beye whuteve*. We
like them. We enjoy tMr company,
and we know that they have the de
termination to wfci. They are not
alone, there are many others in our
town, and we like 'em all. Bto, with
many others, we must say, "We 4ont
know how they do It."
al Syttem RidicuUd
Certainly we hmve to admit tkat this
ii a machine-miule age where ma
chine* and not men are doing things
worth while.
The era of invention ha* enabled
man to stand still and toe the machine
work until man himself has become
very incapable and impeifcct. After
four centuries of American progress
we are scarcely more able to feed and
clothe ourselves than were the PM
g rim fathers.
One of the principal reason a is, we
have educated away from work rather
than to wort Hwe leave out a few
of the frivolitiea and put in their
place a few more of the realities we
will be better able to meet the issues
jf life with a greater certainty T>f suc
cess.
In the home kn generally be found
the greater part of the troeble. "Hie
pleasure and sporting hysteria has i n
too many cases swept school teachers
and pupils off their feet.

much, and small chaise hiu> been
spoken of somewhat eontemptuously
as "chicken feed." In some sections
thin feeling still exist*, but there are
t'aim lamilies, merchants, and bank
ers in a number of Eastern Carolina
counti* who have begun to realiae
lhat in the carload marketing uf pout
try and eggs, we have a new source
of income that presents pleasing pos
sibilities.
Poultry development has been quiet
ly under way for some years in east
ern South and North Carolina coun
ties, and there has beeli a fairfy steady
flovr of small shipments by express
I'iom these counties to some of the
larger city markets These were
largely censigned shipment*. This
method of selling, without intending
to reflect upon the produce houses*
leindling poultry and eggs, due to the
inoertainty of supply and demand and
to the looseness and expenspiveness of
the system, was unsatisfae'ory. And
the small sum of money received from
these infrequent shipments made little
impression upon the trade of the
nejghborhod trading centers.
An equally unsatisfactory transac
tion on the part of the faAmer was the
exchange of chicken and eggs for the
poods at tlie cross-roads store, or at
the stores in the neighboring town.
These transactions were unsatisfactory
twing to the fact, that on«; r does not
have that feeling of indPpenrtenee
when goods are taken in trade, or the
actual independence that comes from
getting, and the possession of money.
Furthermore, poultry and eggs, at Ihe
$
prices allowed for them in trade do
not have he same buying power that
money has when that money can be
spent wherever you please.
Carload Marketing a Success

the S'ate Divisions of Markets, the
