A Temperance
Talk to Voters
JASON KEEP

The Sunday. school man has always been
noted
For lighting saloons except when he voted,
He piled up his prayers with holy perfec-
ton,
But Knocked them all down on the day of
election
by their works We shall know them :"
(P. S. This is from the Bible.)
Oh my, wouldn't there be bunch of
US who would never be known as church
people if it wasn't for the church reg
lister? Great gunsl If those church
registers should happen to get burned,
wouldn't we be in duce of fix when
we came up before the bar OF Judgment
on that last great day, with no church
register to introduce US?
Now, see here-no more fooIlshness-
you know that the 100000 church
members of the United States can carry
any election. have any law passed and
carry every State for dry by an over
whelming majority, if they would go out
and work and vote as they ought to
pray? Why don't they do it? Why
don't you? You know it is true. You
know you could put the saloons out of
your town mighty quick if you would
quit talking in whispers and go out and
fight
See the results in West Virginia
When the church people quit signing
and offering up delicate, half-hearted
little prayers, buckeled on their armor
and went out to fight it was all over but
the shouting.
We take off our hats to the church
people of West Virginia. The worlc
has never seen more sincere, hare
working, hard fighting army of the
Lord than in the last fight in West Vir.
GINA.
There is pattern for the church peo-
pie of her sister states.
Better go over and get inocculated.

By so doing you will avoid worry. will
have better choice in the selection of
gifts and be able to mail your gifts at
an earlier date and thus make sure of
delivery before the 25th. To wait until
the last minute, means tired bodies, a
troubled brain and possible disappoint-
ment in meeting your requirements.
The merchants and their clerks will
appreciate early shopping. 1t means so

THE Chronicle, of Emmitsburg, w

THE Chronicle, of Emmitsburg, well
says:
1t is regrettable that the President
was actuated by purely selfish motives
in deciding to do away with the New
Year reception at the White House. No
one will deny that handshaking on these
occasions is an arduous task. and that
standing in line is somewhat of tax on
the physical strength of the receiving
party. This, however, is the one
opportunity offered the people, the
masses, for greeting their Chief
Executive, shaking his hand and looking
into his face at close range. 1t may
mean little to Mr.. Wilson-this dispens-
ing with an old and beautiful custom
but it means much regret to those from
far and near who feel that they have
almost right to grasp the hand of the
President of all the people on this day
of felicitation.

THE condition of Judge John C. Mot

is not out of danger, he has gained
more during the last few days than at
any time since his illness. His speech

THE present day high cost of living
was traced to a lack of tillers of the soil.
In an address before the American Asso-
citation of Farmers Institute by Profess
sor W. J. Kennedy. of the Iowa State
College Of Agriculture, Prof. Kennedy
stated that since 1900, cities and towns
had gained three inhabitants TO the
the rural districts one. Ninety per cent.
of the population in 1900 were farmers
as against SO per cent. today. This
decrease IN farmers and the consequent
decrease in farm products has caused
advance in prices.

taught public school at Reynolds. In
1899 he was elected county superinten-
dent of public schools of Rock Island
county and was elected four times to
this office which She filled with houor
and success. He had high ideas and

In the death of S. j. Ferguson Rock

is said with the larger meaning. Mr..
Ferguson has become recognized as an
educator not only IN Rock Island county
but over large portion of Illinois.
What he did was done quietly and with
but little show. and it would all bear
inspection.
His untimely death is a setback to
this county. His loss will be felt. 1t

WORTHY SERIOUS CONSIDERATION

The following three items are taken
from the Frostburg Spirit of last week:
THE HOME TOWN.
Whenever man comes back he is
surprised to see how the old town has
grown.
This town is getting better all the
while; you may not see it, but he sees it.
The only question is, How fast is it
getting better? That Is up to you.
Let's dig in and make the man who
comes back feel sorry he went away.
HOW WE HURT OURSELVES.
If you have anything to sell in this
community -labor. crops or material
the people here must have money with
which to buy it.
If you keep sending your money
away from home 1t will be long time
getting back; it may never get back
at all.
If all of it were sent away and none
of it came back, how long would this
town last!
WHOM WE HELP.
When some people are asked to do
something for this town they seem to
think they are asked to do something
for somebody else.
Well, they are But they can not do
something for somebody else without
dong something for themselves also.
The school taxes you pay help edu-
cate other mems children. But other
men help educate yours.
Other people are doing things for you
all the time. If other men hesitated
you would suffer.
Since the beginning men have lived in
communities. Why? So they could
help each other
The more we help each other the more
we get out of the community.
Help. That gives you the right to
make the other fellow help also.
