THE GENIUS THAT WINS On Thanksgiving Day, 1895, there was held at Chicago the firsi horse less carriage race in America, and a certain man wanted to attend the DKDMOND N02 race but didn't have the price. TelL ing about it this man said, '"I never wanted to see anything so badly In my life as I wanted to see that race. Hut I was in Detroit and the race was in Chicago. It was too far to walk and I didn't have the car fare and couldn't find anybody willing to lend It to me." This same man is rated among the richest men of the world today, and his name is Henry FVjd. We may some day come to understand that our failures have been our best friends. Mine have been. It was the best thing tha . v.jr happened to Henry Ford that he i bad not he money, nor could fiv.d anyone w.illlug to loan it to him for such a purpose. Sometimes we hear ? "If you don t lik-" our town or county, get out of Thin has been said to your humble. Really we should say^ "If till? town is not larce enough for , \.uj to live in. then help to make; it larger " Boost, but do It honest- 1 ? . and tell the ' tru h. have I no'hing to lose thereby, and much . , t:ain. Don't act on the assump- , ion that everything which will ever ; ?io known has already been found j This may have been true in Solomon'.- time, and it doubtless was ,.p to theh time of Christ. TAKE PAINT FOR INSTANCE I Furfural, a chemical used In the niaiiufac ure paints and varnishes ; is being extracted from corncobs, j It formerly was extracted from the hulU of oats at the cost of 50 cents ?1(.r pound. Taken from corncobs. t he! price is 10 cents. So we see :hat nothing seems to be finished. The more we discover, he more re- j mains to be found out. That Is why j we are urged to search. If all the fine and hidden things ! ;ij.ojut the Bible had been known to j a dij'ing world, why did Jesua tell u8 o h? arch the scriptures? It cer tainly meant the old testament, for the. new was not yet written. Moth er teach y?ur children to be natural. Teach them to be true.

The homo to ho farm hoy or girl is what the spirit Is to the body, RELIGION This brings us now to the subject of religion, and I want to give a lit_ tie of my idea. Genuine Religion is the biggest asset to any community. ! When I say genuine religion, I do | not mean sects or creeds. I mean I pure and undefiled, not one which is an outward form, and no hiug after all. I wantf not a religion which j scoffs at doing a turn on Sunday, or helping some needy in disetrss or attending a social or a dance^ and then put setiing eggs in ybur market basket that failed to hatch. I want a religion which expresses itself in conduct 'rue to advertisement. When i a man is genuinely religious he puts | better material into his ' producs. j Genuine religton works more consis tently and turns out a be ter product from the same material. In fact he j works his profession into all he does I and makes it better. Did 1: ever oe_ cur to you that religion helps busi j ness? Cheeks on banks would have I no value were it not for confidence i In men's honesty. Banks can't do i business when distrus* makes men i afraid of each other. Furthermore genuine religion is the best safe- I guard of the home. It preaches mor_ I al right and conduct. It means tha: th?> home is kept sacred. As men i live religion, they are truer and sur | er. As they neglect itt they stum- 1 bit* and fall. THE TWO AMERICAS ARE BEST < ANSWERS TO THIS North America was settled ^?v j those who came seeking God and ! freedom to worship him. South A- I merica was settled by those who I came for gold.

"Young man^ get an education and you. can sit on the fence and whittle sticks while the other fellow does your work for you.'' I scorn 'hat sort of an educational ar gument. Get an education that you may be better qualified and prepared to meet the obliga ions which will confront you later oiif and not feel you are too good to work. TOO MANY ARE SITTING ON THE FENCE NOW Criminals are SO percent young men and women from. Is ;o 23 years of age. An old proverb is "An Idle l'rain is the Devil's Work Shop." The great poet Longfellow ha3 written wisely and well: All are architects of Pate Working in those walls of Time; Some wi.h massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless is^ or low; Each thing in its place is best; And what soenis but idle show, Streng hens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, Time with materials filled; Our todays and yesrerdays, Are the blocks with which we build, j Truly shape and fasten these; Leave n0 yawning gaps oetween; Think not^ because no man sees, Such things will remain unsben. In the elder days of Arc, I Builders wrought w*th greatest care; Each minute and unseen part. For the Gods see everywhere. Let us do our work as wel^ Bo h the seen and the unseen^ Make thee house where GODS may j dwell Beautiful entire and clean. F.lse our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time^ Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble as they seek to climb. Thus alone can we attain, T0 these ^uruets, where the eye; .urrtes, where the eyehewbflo. : Jowt Sees thf world as one vast plaint And one boundless reacn of sky. Build today, 'hen strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place. I ? ? ? i ? i? ? ?? i > ? i ii ?? MM i ? ? ? ' Putting the Hog on a Normal Basis lltaCMyv rnWgrJgg. y Photo Cotryright. Underwood & Underwood . N. Y. Many years of study and experi ment have ended uncertainty as to what Is host for the hog. says a recent report. In pork raising, as in building up any other source of prnlit on the farm, much can bo learned through the experience of others. The U. S. Government and Agri cultural Colleges spend big sums each year at their experimental stations. Eoth the Government and the Agricultural Colleges issue literature which tells about these experiments in detail. Anyone in terested can secure the literature without cost by writing the U. S. Department of Agriculture or such Agricultural Kxperimental Stations. The great value in Government bull* tins lies in thn fact that th^y are bused on the results of obser vation anil study by trained, ex perienced men and at an expense which makes it prohibitive for the farmer to make theso experiments himself. Generally speaking, hogs have a normal period of growth and de velopment. Many raisers ship be fore the hogs are finished ? others hold their hogs and feed them be yond the period that the herd would be most profitable for them. It is natural, with high feed prices, that the raiser is reluctant to hold his hogs any longer than absolutely necessary, even though the hog market is good; but it is a mistake to start raising a market herd and quit before the Job is really fin ished. Judging from prices of the past few months, a fat hog is the ono that is commanding a premium and, experts say, will continue to do so for some time. That is [be cause of the large numbers of un finished hogs that have been and are still being sent to market. Using the Chicago hog market for a day in mid-December, 1924), a 170 lb. hog brought $14.10, while a 1*65 lb. hog brought $-6.55, or a dif ference of $12.45. The average hog raiser knows that it takes about 400 lbs. of corn and 40 lb.s. of tankage to bring in that last 100 lbs. of weight, or In dollars and cents, approximately $10.00 for the last 100 lbs. in feed expense, leaving more than $2.25 per pig for the additional trouble. Shipping weights of hogs are re flected in the feed crop. Last yjear the corn crop in many sections ^ras small and therefore most of the hogs sent to market ranged around the 175 lb. class. Unless relative market prices on either hogs j or feed are extremely abnormal,! it pays the raiser to go through with his feeding program up to that stage where ho can secure the greatest benefit from his efforts and the beat market price for hla pork. ?
