Several newspaper writers through

financial condition, and several OF the

a detriment to tie league and in fact,
it tends TO injure the attendance in all

from the presidents Office show that
there is not the slightest probability
OF financial embarrassment.

Oleo Ram or Nara. inc.

Howard Ram of the Manchester
Press devotes considerable space
each week to Useful Hints to Farm

brings out many interesting fac.s
not touched on by agricultural pap
ers. Speaking OF oleomargarine he
says:
There is a big fuss made over
the tax on oleomargarine, but you
don't hear any roar over the tax
which oleo puts on a weak stomach.
The only man who can spread oleo-
margarine on hot flapjack and re-
tain it in his system is the one who
has catarrh of the stomach so bad

runs his teeth through a section of
a hip boot, drawn from a carton OF
fresh oleo, will find his appetite fad
ing away faster than the standpat-
ters desert old Joe Cannon. All this
talk about pure oleomargarine IS
pure piff,e. Oleo that has been ex-
posed to the air for twenty-four
hours will make a robust stomach
look like display of open-wcrk
hosiery. We knew a man 80 years
old who had imbibed everything

Always After Money,

The churches are always after
money" said woman who had just
been given an opportunity to give
whatever she might wish in q meet
ing. Always after money" is the
frequent cry against churches. One
is reminded of a rich Texas rancher,
whose son some years ago had MUIR
dered a man, and though the case
was strong against him, he was ac-
quilted through the eloquence Of
his lawyer After the trial the faith
er was presented with bill for $400
by the lawyers, who asked ii lie
thought it too much. by no
means said the father, you saved
my boy, and I'd gladly give you
twice as much Not long after,
through the efforts of the minister,
the same boy was lead to Christ,
and saved from life of sin. When,
little later the father was asked
TO contribute something to the
church, he grudgingly squeezed out
a dollar. Think of it! Would glad
ly have given $500 to save his boy
from the gallows, but unwilling ID
give 81 for his sons salvation.
Strange, isn't it? The TT is the
churches do more for less money
than any institution on earth. No
land would be fit to live in without
them. Usually the burden of sup
porting the churches and the mis-
sions IS laid almost entirely on a few
people. Everyone wants a preacher
in the community, to visit them in
sickness, and say the last words at
the grave, but many forget that
someone else has to support the
preacher for them and while they
hold then selves alooi from the
church and refuse to support it, al
though at the same time reapiug the
benefits il brings TO the entire COM
mun,ty, they are simply dependents
OF the people WHO do carry it along.
