THE LARGER VIEW.

The reason why many towns dc
not go ahead fast is very much the
same as those why the majority OF
people achieve no great success
Most people grab the pennies of to-
day, and disregard the dollars OF
tomorrow. In the same way communi
ties fail to take the larger view,and
do not build for the future.
The majority of young men would
rather quit school and go to work
for a dollar a day, and continue al
their lives on small pay, rather than
go to colleges and technical
schools and fit themselves to earn
large salaries at some time in the
future.
The disposition of the public in
making purchases is much the same
People will buy in distant cities ana
rival places nearby, merely because
they think some article is a few
cents cheaper By SO doing, they
help build up some place in which
they have no stake and no interest
In nine cases out of ten the out
side purchase is not amy cheaper.
The purchase is made by mail and
can't be examined, or it is made
hurriedly, without good advice from
a friendly salesman. You cant get
something for nothing. If a person
pays a low price, he is probably get
ting second quality goods,l which he
could have bought for the same
price at home.
If the people of this town should
stand Loyalty by our own home en-.
terprises, and make it principle to
buy at home whenever possible there
would be a new growth of prosper
ity here. The larger sums of money
in circulation here would mean
more stores, more people employed,
more money paid in taxes, better
public improvements.
Any one owning amy property or
business here would see the prop
erty or business advance in value.
There would be more chances here
for young people and more would be
paid in salaries and wages
Why not take the larger view and
give more thought to the wisdom of
buying at home and building up our
own town?

barn one day, and deliberately chop
ped it off with Ratchet.
Nowadays, most people rarely have
teeth out without taking gas or eth
er. They even dread the slighter
pains of the orddnary exp erience of
having teeth filled.
The superb courage shown on the
European fields of battle. however
seem equal to anything recorded frou
the old stories o. heroism. The sol
diers march on to what is practical
y organi zed suicide One line fol
lows to DEATH and finally the fol-
lowing ranks win the position, be-
fore the defenders have time 10 op-
crate their weapons.
Probably the capacity for enduring
the minor ills of life has diminish
ed, as the hardships of the world
have been alleviated. There is a
growing sensitiveness to pain and
alarm at danger. But as the soldier
grows more subject to these influ-
ences of a refined age, his fear OF
ridicule and shame becomes keener
He may fear death more But his
dread Of disgrace is also stronger. He
can see little satisfaction in saving
himself, if he must bear the pale
badge Of cowardice thereafter.
This is the one bright spot oat OF
he orgy of blood across the water
It is the convincing proof that hui
man nature is just as capable OF
meeting the darker and deeper is
sues of life as it ever was.

They may even read the market re-
port before the baseball.
The closing of the ock exchan-
ges of course infIicts hardship Bus
mess men who own securities now
have no means of knowing what may
be the value of their shares. a great
many men are thrown out of work,
from the people Of substantial invest
ment houses, as cautious and conesr-
vative as any bankers, down TO the
vultures of Wall street, the hangers
on and has beens who flock around
the bIackboards.
To a great many men theinterest
they take in stock market filters
is a business damage The same
time devoted to developing new
ideas in their own field, where they
are thoroughly at home, would be
far more profitable. The only posi-,
bic game the outsider can play, is
to buy only at rare intervals, when
the market is deeply depressed. But
most men after winning once on a
conservative basis, get too much the
taste of blood Usually they go in
at the high level at which they
sold, and drop more than they prev
iously made.
Hence it is that the closing OF the
exchanges is not all loss. The
newspapers published since the stock
exchanges closed must seem strange
" blank to the great army of for
tune seekers who watch the quota
tons. Even the thrill of marching
millions across the sea can not take
the place of their sporting interest
in the rise and fall of favorite stocks
A great many business men must
now DO able to proceed at once to
the work of the day. Previously
they had first to survey the day Is
conflict of bulls and bears, and de-
eide whether it was an opportune
time to buy or sell. This does not
help one to perform efficiently his
daily task of bread winning.

view, they would settle them and call
off their armed men in day. Seen
either in the light of the teachings
of Jesus, or from the most s0rdid
money aspect, the war Is both wrong
and senseless-
These fighting powers are sensi-
tive to American opinion. They be-
gan by husthng American tourists
around in a very unceremonious man
ner. Some one tod them that the
favorable opinion of the United
States was going to be very uesful to
them before they got through. It
was amusing to see the celebrity
with which the attitude toward our
travellers improved.
1t looks as if this day of prayer
for peace might be a regular Go to
church Sunday" The folly and
crime and tragedy of this war will
be dwelt upon A wave of sentiment
adverse to war. and a vast impulse
of sympathy, will sweep over the
land
If there are spiritual forces that
play from heart to heart, of which
so many intimations are found in hui
man life. it would seem as if this
outpouring of feeling must have its
influence. One would think also that
cent regard for the opinion of man
kind would lead the powers to see
in this demonstration the desirable
ity of ending so shocking a condition
of affairs.

THE CHANCES OF FOOD SCAR
CITY,

A wholesaler Of grain was asked
a few days ago, what was the eff
feet of war on his business. He said
it was much hike the case of a man
who had had large and plentiful
succession OF highballs. Everyone in
the trade was flushed and excited.
Consumer is bidding against con-
sumner, forcing the prices up against
each other.
He predicted, if the war continued,
that very high prices on food stuffs
would be seen before spring. But
he would not advise the average con
sumner to buy ahead of his needs at
present prices.
1t is certainly a tremendous mis-
fortune that the war comes just as
the autumn season is starting. We're
it spring, a campaign could at once
be organized to persuade farmers to
plough up and seed down every avail
able acre. Every man with back
yard could be urged to grow some
kind of food supply.
There is a plenty of food for our
people and something to spare
Many feel that the doors should be
closed against exports while prices
are high. Also that liberal exporta.
tinpg win tap1 - .,rolo,,.r 4I,~> ,r,a,
Still, if exports are shut down, the
women and children and other non
combatants of Europe would be the
ones who would feel the pinch first.
The soldiers will be ed at any cost.
While there will be no famine
here, the necessities of life may
cost very high before spring. Poor
people will suffer The public will
do well to make as much use as
possible of the less expensive foods
like potatoes and other vegetables,
fish, canned goods, etc. Our grand
parents knew what appetizing dishes
could be made out of simple salt
fish, which many people despise now
adays
1t is none too soon to begin a
campaign for the enlargement of
our food supply next summer Farm
ers i'm the more southerIy climates
should tsuff every acre mll for early
spring delivery. Everything eatabIe
will be salable next year, and at
good and probably high prices.

MODERN COURAGE.

The fighting in Europe throws
light on the much debated question,
whether the alienation of pain and
more comfortable living of this CEN
fury have made people soft, as so
many people believe,
1t is certain that the smaller pains
of life are not borne as easily as
formerly. Most people once thought
but little of having a tooth out. and

knows of one of the old timers, who
having a sore toe that had bothered
him a good deal, went out in the
