Do you know that the old rut
you are travelling around in is
becoming worn, and is getting
deeper and deeper, and more i'm
possible for the future? A
change of environment is a good
thing and is often productive of
excellent results. Now just for
a change suppose we all go to
church next Sunday and listen to
what the preacher has to say.
He has some good ideas that are
we'll worth hearing, and we may
even imbibe a few chunks OF
wisdom that will be we'll worth
storing up in our fountain OF
knowledge. At any rate, the
change will be good for us, and
it will be an hour pleasantly
spent. Let's go!

The Will To Do.

If any foreign country enter
tains notion that this country
is to be frightened from the pur-
suit of a course which it deems
to be right and just, then that
country is likely to receive a
sudden and violent jolt.
The head in the white house
contains too many brains for the
United States to submit forever
to being hectered and pestered
and bullied by any nation on
earth.
And the American people are
solidly behind the president in
his stand for national honor and
rights upon the high seas.
We are not looking for trouble,
we do not intend to seek it, and
we will do our best to honorably
avoid it, but if it is forced upon
US then the aggressor will find
that the lack of an army and
proper equipment will not deter
the American people for one
moment.
No obstacle has ever been too
great in the past for the Ameri-
can people to overcome, or sur
mount, and if it comes this will
be no exception to the rule.
The American people have the
will to do, AND THEY WILL
Do. The foe who attacks US
will see our faces, and not our
backs.

There are hundreds of thou
sands of dollars beneath the soil
all around US that have never
been dug out, and in the humble
opinion of the editor it is about
time for US to dig, and dig deep
ly. We would like to see every
foot of waste ground in this
community put under cultivation
and yielding something that
brings in the yellow metal. We
would like to see every arm in
the community at work, every
mind devising means of advan-
cling our common interests.
There is a cash market in foreign
countries for every ounce of
foodstuff we can produce, and at
high prices. We as a community
are abundantly able to vastly in
crease our output of foodstuffs,
and just why we are allowing so
much land to go uncultivated is
a mystery which we confess our
self unable to solve. Every man
wants more money, and right
here at our door opportunity
goes begging day by day,
What's the matter with US any,
way?

We are far from slovenly
people-we may even take pride
in much that we do but there is
yet great opportunity for i'm
provement in many ways. Many
a man admires his neighbours
yard, but just naturally forgets
to spend any time in the i'm
provement of his own, apparently
oblivious to the surroundings of
the place he calls home. Let's
start the guessing, fellows, as to
who will have the cleanest and
dirtiest yard this summer. 1t
will stir up a little friendly rival
ry that will work wonders in the
appearance of our town.

a high reea ard for the man OF

Base Ball Club or Chautauqua.

To The Parisian:-
The Chautauqua is with US
this week. Paris supports the
Chautauqua royalty guarantees
them SO much in advance and
then spends more money for ex-
ira tickets when the show gets
here. have no kick to make on
this. If the people of Paris think
the Chautauqua helps the tewn,
ETC., then its alright to guaran-
tee them.
But Paris has recently organ
lied a base ball club and the
merchants and business men of
Paris should stand behind and
support this club. Every men,
Der of the ball team is a Paris
boy. Every time a team from
another town comes to Paris it
means money spent in Paris with
Paris hotels and merchants. Ev-
cry time the Paris team goes to
another town it means advertis-
ing for Paris.
Merchants and business men
of Paris who pay SIS, $40 amp
even $25 for Chautauqua tickets
every year think that Is or so
cents is a big contribution for
the support of the local base ball
team many of them do not give
this much and do not even at
tend the games. And vet the
Chautauqua is a foreign enter
prise, every member of it's COM
pany lives outside of Paris and it
takes many, many dollars out of
Paris every year, and the base
ball team is home enterprise.
Paris should wake up. Keep
the Chautauqua if you want to,
but back the base ball team with
hard cash.
A base ball team can't exist on
air, and the boys can't win
games unless you support and
encourage them.
Open up your heart---also your
pocket book.

When the Farmer Comes to
Town.

| OWil.
How do you greet the farmer
when he comes to town? Is your
greeting such that he feels that
he is with US, but not of us? Or
is he made to feel that he is in
HIS town, among HIS people,
and with HIS friends?
The making or the marring of
this town depends greatly upon
your attitude toward the farmer
when he favors US with his Wis.,
it's.
He is the backbone of the COM
munity, and without his aid and
encouragement we would be an
unsuccessful business communi-
ty.
The townsman is no better
than the man from the farm, and
the farmer can claim no superior
ity over the townsman.
We are all human beings, with
the same aims and purposes in
life, and endowed with the same
brands of intelligence.
In fact, we are brothers of a
common community, the only
difference being that the one
lives in town, where life is a lit
tie more diversified, while the

the green fields of the country.
Let us remember that we are
brothers, and sisters, and cousins
and that the welfare of the one
is vital to the success of the 9th
err.
When we ride out into the
country the farmer extends the
hand of fellowship, bids US well
come, and hands US a hearty
come again. 3"
1t is a delightful characteristic
of the man from the farm, for
his greeting is sincere and his in
vitation is from the heart.
But what of us when the far
mer comes to town? Is our well
come on the same high plane as
his? Is he made to feel and rea-
lie that our smile is for HIM,
and not for the contents of his
purse?
We of the town are proud OF
the farmers of this community,
and of their wives and daugh-
tiers. They are men and women
of a high order of intelligence,
whose integrity is beyond ques-
ton, and whose thrift, and ener-
gy, and perseverance is trans
forming our countryside into a
hive of industry and wealth.
They are BUILDERS, one and
all. But we fear that we of the
town are often forgetful of the
great duty that we owe to them
for their loyalty and generosity
in support of the local business
community.
We ourselves know of the high
regard in which we hold the far
mers of this community, but we
doubt if the farmer knows of the
warm sentiments which we en-,
terrain toward him.
And this is because we think
much and say too little. 1t
should not be soft should be
otherwise than thus. Let US of
the town cultivate a more friend
Iy and neighborly spirit, let US
open up our hearts that the far
mer may look within, for we are
but one big family and should
dwell together in unity and broth
erly love.
Let US act as we feel, and give
the farmer to understand that
he is of US, as we'll as with US.
We need each other, for a
prosperous farming community
makes a live town, and the pros
perity of the town adds life and
enjoyment to the countryside.

A DROP FROM HEAVEN.

the statement in his discourse on
last Sunday that science had
proven that ninety-nine percent
of a man was spirit. In other
words man is, to the greatest ex-

love, friendship, and big-hearted
comradeship.
Science is backed by the Truth
which has stood beyond contra

years. And now abideth faith,

the greatest of these is love-"

his way up the other rainbow,

himself.
Today great electricians are
dreaming unheard of dreams and
accomplishing unheard of results;
mechanics are dreaming unbe-

ing unbelievable results; engi-
neers are dreaming wonderful
dreams and mighty waterways
are being harnessed. In the
heart of some man of tomorrow
there is hardly born in the

more of a protection to these
