TAYLOR APPRECIATION V . | | There are tiiries when we feel that j nothing we do is worth while. I sup-.j ; pose that the most of us at times f I v.onder whether what we do is really ! I worth doing. There are days when it | seems that nothing 'breaks right. It lis very . discouraging to have one's j plans all yroken up after having plan- j red and' worked so hard. But it is j more discouraging, I think, to do I one's be, t and never get one word of ' thanki kind word of appreciation, j There are those to whom appreciation means every thing. Most of us are in that class. * - I . My clouds are often very heavy. And I often wonder whether the things 1 do are really worth while.! Time and again 1 have taken my type writer after. long hours of work in the office and tried to write some- J thing that would bring cheer to my I readers. 1 have often wondered before j sending an article to the editors ' j whether it would mean anything to ' I those who might read it. i ; I Then along comes an encouraging: iletter from some friend.

N. C. THE LETTER-BOX BELIEVES IN LARGE FAMILIES To the Editor of The Enterprise: Evidently your subscriber who filled your "letter-box" of your last issue full ofJßeubao Bland is either an old maid, a bachelor, or one of those mod ern couples who have taken the mar- I ria&e % ows and proven themselves barren trees. Of course, we know Reuben is not the only thing we have I which we are proud of.. We have ,! splendid roads, a > fine system of 'schools, and splendid crops; all of j which we are justly proud; but please, tell me who is going to ride on our fine roads, who is going to attend the splendid schools, who is going to eat I the food ami chew tne tobacco we j raise if some one does not break the j | record with a 1 large family and have., j an abundant supply of children. Reu- j ben may have stretched the limit to, j some extent, but the average man and i woman who mUrry today are just a-j bout as afiakl of children an they are j of hell itself. ' Just a few days ago Mr. Charles i Dana Gibson had a cartoon showing I 1 two women with dogs for companions 1 and one with a child. This strikingly ! shows the sign-; of the times. When ppy country begins to have a decrease . in the average family, that moment !it begins to weaken. Some of the best j and brightest citizens the world nas ever had come from large families. It j is a scientific fact, and also an actual i fact, that the family which has but, '; &ne child makes a poor job of raising | ■; that one.

Courtney ; disgusting to a real American than U 1 see a child of the one-cylinder tyj« roving the world with about as mud concern for the duties he owes to th world as a tramp who begs his bread though he may be rolling in millions It has gone out of fashion for thi average parent to even help educate and enlighten his or her children. Th« State educates, the State enlightens the State inoculates them against every known disease. A good thing probably, but I am saying there if a trend to turn our children over t« the State to raise; and the dread ri the responsibility of motherhood and | fatherhood is one of the causes. There has been some wonderful in | ventions in the past 100 years. We t really have evolved in a great many ways. We have invented telephones, telegraphs, radios, and many othei | things. We have learned to make breakfast food out of sawdust and done many other marvelous things, but up to this good hour, so far as ! we know, the only thing you can make i a man or woman from is a ehild. Reuben is certainly not the onl> i thing of which we have a right to bf proud of. Neither are the barren anc near-barren couples, which we are sc bountifully blessed with, the onl; things we ought to be ashamed of. A SUBSCRIBER WHO BELIEVES IN LARGE FAMILIES.
