OF COURSE-WHY NOT?

"Will good times ever return?" in
quired pessimist in specializing on
his Christmas expenditures.
Of course they will! Why not?
Here's the why of the will
l. There is just as much money
in the country now as there ever was.
2. The farmers have just harvest
ed one of the biggest crops in history
and are selling at good prices.
3. Federal reserve banks have
been opened and millions of new
money will be placed at the disposal
Of the banks of the country.
4. The banks in turn will have
plenty of money to loan to big manu-
facturers and other industries for
operating capital
5. These concerns in turn will
start the wheels of commerce to re-
volving and millions of unemployed
men and women will return to work.
6. Foreign governments are plac-
ing heavy orders for all kinds of sup
plies needed in prosecuting their war.
Z. Other orders for American
made goods are pouring in from all
parts of the world.
s. The financial situation has clar-
flied, banks are opening up their
vaults, and great manufacturing in
dustries are preparing to open again
on an extensive scale, many of them
even now calling in employees who
were laid off many weeks ago.
Yes, you can dig down and spend
that Christmas money without any
fear of where the next dollar is COM
ing from.
1t is on the way-and hitting the
high places.

GOING TO CHURCH WITH FAM
lily AND FRIENDS.

You've take it, are sincere be-
lever in churchgoing. You know that
NOWHERE ELSE CAN YOU FIND
"THE PEACE THAT PASSETH ALL
UNDERSTANDING" that nowhere
else are you so sure of meeting with
God-fearing folks; that nowhere else
should you be so proud to be seen;
that church membership is MARK
OF HONOR and evidence that man
or woman is a worth while member
of the community.
But do you do your best to induce
others to go to church?
AS you and others need the comfort
and the help which the church and the
church alone can give, so does the
church need your help.
Go yourself; take your family and
friends; persuade others to go.
Share with them the joy and con-
tentment you feel when, leaving Gods
house you mediate upon the hearten-
ing sermon you have heard, telling
you that Goods in his heaven; alPs
right with the world" upon the up
lifting music, elevating and refining
the spirit; upon the recital of the spir-
itual experiences of others, each bear
ing upon your own soul problems
1t is selfish to keep these good
things to yourself; therefore SHARE
THEM.
Having heard the call to higher
purer, more satisfying life, pass it on
to others.
In no way can you earn so well the
heartfelt gratitude of your fellow man
or woman as by bringing the glorius
message of religion. And in no other
way can you satisfy SO completely
your conscience, which tells you that
you must DO SOMETHING FOR
GOD AND FOR MAN.
Go to church and try to take Others
with you.

AS IT SHOULD BE.

In the schoolhouse in Belleville,
Wis, few evenings ago, upon mo-
ton of the Catholic priest, the Meth
odist minister was elected president
Of the community's social center, for
the coming winter.
Then three basketball teams were
formed, including the priest, the min
lister, the blacksmith, the editor, far
mer, the keeper of the village restaur-
ant dentist, clothier, teamster, a
druggist, garage owner, the banker,
the saloonkeeper, hardware mer-
chant and house painter.
They differed in religion, in politics,
in income, in social status about as
widely as men can differ. But in the
common school building, in the free
democracy of the social center, they
agreed to lay aside their differences
for the novel purpose of discovering
how much good fell ship there was
in meeting together, now and then, as
equals, as brothers.
In the democracy of play, in the
democracy of frank, fair discussion of
public questions, they are finding out,
fering men of Belleville, that, as hui
man beings, they're amazingly alike,
once you get below the surface.
And out of this agreeable discov-
cry will come, for Belleville, more toll
erance, more kindness of feeling,
more give and take than it had ever
known before. Even when they shall
differ again-as, of course, they often
wilt won't be with as much bitter
ness, as much bigotry, as much mean
hate as of yore.
It's wonderful solvent, is brother
hood

HOW WE GET THE NEWS.

Day before yesterday a perfectly
nice lady called us up and with tears
in her voice reproved US for mention
ing the fact that she had had friend
visiting her last week We told her
that she had not let US know anything
about it and that therefore we did
not know that she had visitor. Then
she said, well, yon should have
known. I thought you were running
newspaper" Wouldn't that rattle
your Stats Some people think that an
editor ought to be a cross between Ar
gus and Anna Eva Fay. They seem
to think that our five senses are aug
mented by a sixth that lets us know
everything that happens, even if we
see, hear, feel, taste or smell it not.
Dear lady, editors are only human or
at least almost human. If you have
a friend visiting you, if you are going
away, or have returned from visit
out of town, if Johnnie falls and
breaks his arm, if your husband chops
HE toe instead of stick of wood, if
anything happens that makes you
glad, or sad, happy, or mad, call us up.
Tell us about it. That's the way to
get it in the paper.

NEW GAME LAW.

A new game law that should be
passed by all states would contain the
following:
"Book agents may be shot between
October / and September l; Spring
Poets from March l to June l; Au-
tomobile Speed Demons from Janu-
airy l to January /; Road Hogs from
April Is to April Is; Amateur Hunt
ers from September / to February /;
War Takers, no closed season. Any
man who accepts paper for two
years and then, when the bill is pre-
scented, says: i never ordered it, may
be killed on sight and shall be buried
face downward in quicklime so as to
destroy the germs and prevent the
spread of the infection"

YOU CAN DEPEND ON FORD CARS

Touring $500 miles in 2exas with
out once going into gss' ge and at
a total cost of $45 for gasoline, oil ana
one extra casing, is the achiev enlent 4,
Mr.. c. L. Green, of Prescott, Ark, in
Ford touring car. And during the en-
tire trip neither spark plug nor the
carburetor were touched.
Mr.. Green reports also that after
this tour, with the exception of few
scratches on the body and the tar
nished brass the Ford car was in as
good condition as it was when he start
ed. Mr.. Green closes his voluntary re-
port to the Ford Motor Company with
this statement: II believe / can start
out with my Ford against any fellow
in any high-priced car on the market
and make better time through mud
and sand hills and rocks, and then
come out with better car, with half
the expense that the other fallow
pays"
Mr.. Green, iii postscript, offers in
a very substantial way to make good
his claims.

MANKIND.
with you.

We think we are playing upon or
binary organs when we play upon
man. Men are organs indeed, but fan
tastic, changeable and various, with
pipes not arranged in due succession
Those who understand only how to
play an ordinary organ make no har~
monies on these.
When we are too young our judg-
ment is at fault; so also when we are
too old.
He that considers his work so soon
as it leaves his hands is prejudiced
in it's favor. He that delays his sur
vey too long cannot regain the spirit
of it.
If we take not thought enough or
too much on any matter we are OBJ
stinate and infatuated.
It is not well to be too much at lib
erty 1t is not well to have all that
we want
The nature of man is not always to
go forward 1t has its advances and
retreats. Fever has it's hot and cold
fits, and the cold proves as well as
the hot how great is the force of the
fever.
The strength of mans virtue must
not be measured by his occasional
effort, but by his ordinary life.

A BOGUS ARTICLE.

A whole lot OF stuff that passes I'M
der the guise of piety and religion is
not religion in the best sense at all,
but mere hypocrisy and sham, just a
form that adheres to the letter, but
denies the spirit and essential prin-
ciples of religion. 1t finds expression
in some instances in long prayers and
due observances of church services
and regulations on the Sabbath, but
ignores the fundamental qualities of
kindness, consideration, forbearance
and common courtesy on each
Sunday and the other days of the
week. While passing under a differ
ent name today, there is little ques-
ton that this type is the same Phar-
isee that was roasted so roundly by
the Man of Galilee in one of the Bit
terest invectives contained in any lit
erature All folks who seek to be
truly religious should aim to realize
what those traits were that the Mas
ter condemned.

WRITING.

There is this good in large library
that it frightens the beholder. Two
hundred thousand volumes are enough
to discourage man tempted to print
a book But unfortunately he very
often says to himself, 'Most of these
books are not read, and perhaps mine
will be-" He compares to the drop of
water that complained of being con-
founded and lost in the ocean. A gen
lie took pity on it and made an oyster
swallow it. 1t became one of the fin
est pearls of the ocean and in time the
chief ornament of the great moguls
throne. Those who are mere COM
pliers, imitators, commentators, pick
ers of phrases, critics by the weak-in
short, those on whom no genie will
take pity-will forever remain the
drop of water. Our man then is work
ing to become pearl.

THE FARMER AND HIS PAPER

"The farmer of today is entirely diff
ferent from the farmer of yesterday
said Secretary C. N. McIlvaine, of the
South Dakota State Fair, "and / really
believe that the country newspapers
have been the greatest aid to the farm
ers and made them what they are to-
day. There is no better or quicker
way to get an education than to read
the papers. If a man is away from
his home town his home paper comes
to him like long lost friend. 1t just
seems to me, when | read my home
paper, as though | was shaking hands
with chum. I think the articles writ
ten by Peter Radford have done more
for the farmer than any. series of ar
ticles | have ever read. Have you read
his article on Political Preachers?' 1t
is one of the best he ever wrote. Every
farmer and every farmers wife should
read it. It's great"

LISTEN. DAUGHTER.

Dad knows that Christmas is COM
ing and SO does your mother and your
brothers and sisters. And we all
know just what will please you most.
So, from present appearances, you are
not to be disappointed. But you seem
to have the wrong point of view about
Christmas, honey, and want to set
you right Christmas is the season
for giving. Get that? The real hap
piness lies in planning what you are
going to do for others and then doing
it. The real Christmas spirit fills
only those whose thoughts are upon
the happiness they hope to bestow
upon their friends and upon the I'M
fortunates who think taeJ have no
friends It's not SO much what you
give as to whom you give. There's a
poor woman living around the corner.
No one is thinking of what she would
like for Christmas. She'd be the sec
ond happiest woman in town if you
were to walk in on her early Christmas
morning with gift of something
warm for her to wear. The happiest
woman would be my little girl who
brings it. There is old Black Jim, who
shovels the snow and carries out the
ashes. Never thought of him? Well,
think of him to the extent of pair
Of warm mittens. Knit them your
self. Don't know how? Your mother
will start you. 1t will be twice as
much fun for you and old Jim's look
of gratitude when you give them to
him will repay you more than all the
fine phrases of all the young squirts
to whom you send neckties they won't
wear and pincushions they won't use.
Try Dads prescription, Daughter, and
you'll be the happiest girl in town on
Christmas day. You will find that it
isn't what you want for Christmas that
makes for real joy. You'll discover
something. That's right. Start now.

FARMER DON'T NEED CREDIT
Nor Cash From the Government I'm
der Any Emergency,
Says Houston.

Washington Dec. 10.-That there
is no emergency which justifies gov
eminent assistance to farmers direct
ly through the use of government cash
or credit, was the position taken by
Secretary Houston, of the department
of agriculture, in discussing rural
credits in his annual report submitted
today to President Wilson. Secretary
Houston's statement was regarded
as indicating the policy Of the admin
istration.
Secretary Houston pointed out that
the new bank law etakes just and par
ticular knowledge of the farmers re-
quirements." He suggested that any
credit needs of the agricultural COM
munity beyond those cared for under
| the Federal Reserve law, should be
cared for by system of cooperative
credit associations" financed with pri-
vate funds, by means of which the
combined credit of farming commune
ties could be utilized, and by sys-
tenn of land mortgage banks, likewise,
privately capitalized.
"There seems to be no emergency
which requires or justifies government
assistance to the farmers directly
through the use of the governments
cash or the governments credit" said
the report. "The American farmer is
sturdy, self-reliant and independent.
He is not in the condition of serfdom
or semi serfdom in which were the
European peoples for whom govern
ment aid was extended in some form
or other during the last century"
In advocating land mortgage
banking system and system of CO.
operative credit associations the re-
port asserted that the use of the funds
loaned for productive purposes on the
farms covered by the mortgages
should be insisted upon.
Mr. Houston's report reviews the
investigation of the marketing and
distribution system, and while the
study is not yet sufficiently finished
to admit of final conclusions the work
thus far shows the need of reorgan-
ization of the distribution process.

A HAM AND BACON SHOW.

Why doesn't one of our enterprising
merchants in the county-or group
of them-organize county ham and
bacon show, to be held at some conve-
nient place within the next few weeks :?
1t could easily be made so attractive
that it might become an annual early
winter event. There are many farm
ers who are curing their own hams and
bacon and these could be induced to ex-
hibit 1t might be possible to secure
the services of a demonstration from
the agricultural college at Morgan
town, who would instruct other farm
ers and their sons, wives and daugh-
tiers in the best methods of home-cur-
ing The smoke house, so long a neg
lected adjunct to the farm, is coming
into its own once more and the farm
ers who are overlooking this source of
profit are just a bit behind the times.
There is a brisk market for home
cured hams and bacon in the larger
towns and in the cities and this mar
ket may easily be cultivated to the
great advantage of the farmer. Let
us make this section of the country
famous for it's home-cured hams and
bacon. The way to start the thing is
to organize an exhibit, offer attractive
