Fanaticism and Progress-
Without fanaticism of a certaia
sort, progress would be impossible
Tbe miads of men and women must be
surcharged with love of a cause, or
hatred of a wrong, else they will not
put their all into the fighting. The
very origin of the word "fanatic"
connotes absorption in a single idea
for the word is derived from the Latin
■ fanum" ta temple) and the "fanati-
cus" was supposed to be maddened by
the divinity whose fane he frequented
And it la quite certain that now, as of
old. the motive power of every great
propaganda is essentially religious,
evea though the leaders call them-
selves agnostics or atheists. No abso-
lutely selfish or absolutely skeptical
person, caa lead either the masses or
the classes. At the core of the true j
leader's being there must be an idea >
to which he clings and to which he
will sacrifice all else with a light heart j

The meloas are a very choice, aad
new variety known as ths "Tom Wat-

by an eastern seed house. They are

valley land is an ideal soil for pro-
rogating the melons, surpassing that
jf any other locality and they ire wlll-
.ng to pay a gcod price for the seeds
