Times will improve, morals will advance, social conditions will be bettered and a greater surge of the Christian religion will be nu sing throughout the souls of humanity. This is a better age than any .other age, a better generation than any other generation. No century has brought the amenities and the simple humani ties to the forefront like the Twenties Century and what has born achieved in this line by It will be materially amplified in the next. The race progresses; it does not go backward. Civilization has its head toward! the future and its face planted against the rising sun. In spite of the confusions and distortions and the evidences that lie on the mere surface of things to the effect that mankind is not getting any better the truth is that mankind is infinitely better than it .used to be and progressively get ting better still. That man must indeed be a Cool who cannot picture a happier earth than he sets around him, to day; who believes that misery, rags, sorrow and hunger must for all time prevail against the sons of men. Though a thousand years pass away and your holies are as chalk, the ancient dream of Brotherhood, liki the light of the immortal star:., will continue to shine on; and {hough often forgotten, mocked, reviled,, this spirit of Brotherhood which is behind all true religion, is eternal; for it speaks to us out of the infinite longings of the human heart. Therefore, we doubt not that a great change is coming as the years roll. And this change will not only support the musings of priests, poets, philosophers and 1 prophets of long ago—men who are but dust hut whose words still live.—but this great change wiP seek you out, conscript you as a soldier in the glorious new time. To Be. Despite rumors of wars, though the earth runs red with blood, th. ' spirit of true religion remains as | it was in the lonesome years of | your Eternal God. Till the new race is born out of the travail oi the dark. And the name of that new race is Brotherhood, and it will yet be found in the ring of the Republics that will rise on the shores ^M he Seven Seas. In the meantime. *; is not a mat ter of stained glass windows or ol purple and fine linen, hut it is very much a matter of man’s in humanity to man. Cull Flecks Now Raleigh.—Now is the time to go through your flocks owl pick out all tho low producing or boarder hens, states A. G. Oliver, poultry extension specialist at State f al lege- This should he done every week or two until the first of Octo ber in order to bring the flock up to a high state of winter egg pro duction. About the first of Nov ember the flock should be gone over again and those birds to be saved for breeders selected. “By that time every farmer should know exactly the number of desirable pullets he has on hand and be able to select the best hens for his breeding flock,” says Mr, Oliver. The farmer who has practiced culling will cull during the entire year but for the average farmer who does not understand the work, it should be done at this time when production is low. The better the flock is laying, the less hurry about culling, but yvhen production drops to twenty or thirty per cent, it is time to get rid of some un profitable hens. According to Mr. Oliver, eagh farm flock may be divided into three groups. First are those hens which lay from four to six months and then loaf the rest of the year. On the other extreme are tho best hens which iay from nine to ten months. Then the medium class which lay from six to nine months. The first culling should remove all short time layers or hens that have finished their spring laying and are worthless for either fur ther egg production or as breeders. “The flock should then be gradual ly reduced until only the high pro ducing hens and those pullets se lected for breeding purposes are kept,” says Mr. Oliver. Ripnon, England, has an official horn-blower for more than a thou sand years. Taking up his position in the market square just before nine o’clock each night, he must send out a long, mournful blast on his horn before the sound of the last cathedral chime dies away. If an inhabitant can out blow the hornblower in a contest he gets the job. What’s A Town Without A A Newspaper. American Press. Nobody knows just how many weekly newspapers there are in the United States. Probably' there are somewhere in the neighbor, --hood of 10,500 weekly publications that can legitimately be called newspapers. A large percentage of these are published in one-paper' towns. Consider, then, with those towns would be without their newspapers. What is the aggregate worth to the nation of these papers? Are any other newspapers or nublientions appreciably interested in the future of these towns? Will other papers? a ke a stand for the betterment of these communities for town and rural cooperation and development, for community bet terment, for the growth of business and for new enterprises? Can the grocers, the hardware merchants, the bankers, the dry goods dealers, the clothiers or the Other retail merchants get along without theri community newspa pers ? The home newspaper is the mouthpiece of the community. Through it the town makes its hid for recognition. It is one of the town’s best assets. Every day weekly newspapers are doing their best for their communities. What would your town be with out your newspaper?
