If baseball is really so demoraliz-
ng it is high time some ministers
end. 1t is said it is demoralizing be-
cause it causes betting, in which case
it is time to quit having Sunday
picnics and even church SER
vices. Not many weeks ago, in this
good town, two men made a wager DIS
to preach. 1t strikes us that we so1ne-l
times start at the wrong end of the
line in the work of reformation and
aside from any other consideration
it is bad policy, for if we are going
to reform men by removing every par
ticle of temptation so by no possibi1
ity can one commit sin, the church
will be left without work to do-at
least work hat the Master said must
be done. In fact, it sometimes ap-
pears hat we are depending on
passing a law instead of resorting
to the teachings of Christ.

To make a prosperous community
the people of a community should pat
ronize each other and never go from
home for what can be had at home.
The business men have to depend up
on the people of their community for
trade, and they in turn should give
their support to home enterprises.
When they send off for what they
need they have little room to COM
plain if others dc likewise. Keep ev
cry possible dollar at home and work
for the upbuilding of your commu
ity.

Cigarettes are about as injurious as
wdiskey? Why discriminate? If one
is to be prohibited, there is no rea-
son why the other should not.
