Where Sleep Is an Adventure

Solving The Problem

From the Carlton (TexD Citizen.
 For several years the newspapers have been filled with various discussions of the high cost of living, but the other day man in this community gave the near est solution of 1t we have heard. He has three cows that furnish him with milk and butter for his home, and in ad- dition to that he Is raising three calves and three hogs with the milk, while the cream is sold regularly and keeps the store account paid. His ditch banks are growing fruit trees that make money, instead of grass and burrs that make work Of course, every man cannot do this, but there are a good many farms about here that are adapted to these methods.

Potash goes 10 smash in the stock market and Ted who is much in love with Nora, plans to reimburse her by taking out a life Insurance policy and then having him self killed ''by accident" About this same time, Ted is receiving the particular attention of Dr. Schwartz, the chief of a gang of blackmailers, who explains that If Ted does not pay him $5O0O he (Ted) Will surely meet with a fatal accident This is just what Ted is looking for and he arranged for the doctor to de- liver the accident in return for all his remaining cash, s1500, putting the money In charge of Teds Japanese Valet Oki Ted is warned that he must be prepared to die at any moment After Five"
 It now develops that the smash in Potash was only a ruse and that the stock is really advancing in value, but Ted is confronted with the most ridicu- lous difficulties in saving himself from his own deeply laid plans of disaster
 Finally, he wins the love of Nora, buys off the blackmailer-and brings all the complications of the story to a happy con- clusion.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

How long will it take Our fellow
citizens to learn that this is in no
sense Christian country, altho the
majority Of it's population are nom
inally Christians; much less is this
Protestant nation, but a nation Of
Protestants, Catholics, Jews, and
unbelievers who have been brought
together here by a wise Providence
to train them to live together in
amity and peace in spite of their
theological differences.

EDl 7 ORlAL
THE HUMBUG OF FIGURES.

In a classic passage in the Book
of Deuteronomy the lawgiver says:
mot because you are more numer-
Gus than all the other nations did
God show a desire for you and
choose you; for you are the least
numerous of all the nations" Not
the magnitude of it's numbers con-
stituted Israel's distinction. God is
not impressed by numbers, or big
ness of any kind.
There are other instances in the
Bible in which the worth of num-
bers, or large figures, is discounted,
or not considered of sufficient
weight and Importance Gideon is
hidden to choose by the application
of certain test, only three hundred
men to fight the Midyanites And
with the three hundred he carries
the day. The prophet Isaiah often
speaks of the Saving remnant" of
Israel, the few survivors that will
constitute regenerated Israel. He
pins his hopes on them, no matter
how small their number.
To the right-thinking person
mere numbers are of no value. He
has learned this lesson from the
general experience of humanity.
Even where mere force, brute force,
is required, numbers are not neces-
sarily an asset. The very opposite
is often true. The history of wars
and conquests shows how often
small force, we'll disciplined and
equipped, vanquished disorganized
hordes ten times it's number, and
held them in subsection. When the
Saracens first invaded the Gothic
kingdom of Spain, they were mere
handful compared with the vast ar

educational, or religious. The real
aims and objects are often forgot
ten in the mad desire to get mem
bers, so as to make big numerical
showing. "Watch us grow" is the
slogan.
Yes, figures are used as the most
effective argument. Do you wish
to be convinced Of the great merit
of the new brand of salvation that
a certain church is offering mort
bund world? See how it grows in
numbers. Do you question the sin
certify, the wisdom, the soundness
of doctrine of a certain religious
teacher? See how he draws the
crowds, how thousands upon thou
sands flock to hear him. That is
enough to make him the greatest
evangelist the world has seen. New
er mind the trash he breaches.
Now and then some admiring en-
thusiast brings the wonderful news
how crowded the temples Of certain
rabbis in certain towns are. Even
Gentiles flock to hear them, we are
assured. But what is really accom-
plished thereby, aside from salts
flying the vanity of the particular
rabbi, and showing his congregation
what star he is? Are the Jews of
those cities any different than the
Jews of cities that have no such at
fractions?
Yes, we are worshippers of fig
ures. We know of a rabbi in a GER
tain community who in the weekly
paper of that town publishes regu-
larly the number of calls he has re-
ceived from other cities to lecture
or speak there, and has accepted or
declined. How impressive such fig
ures must be to his admirers We
know of a preacher in Minneapolis
who in his church and yearbook
publishes among other data the
number of calls he has made on his
Pensioners. Other preachers prob
ably do the same. Such is the hum
bug of figures! We do not realize
that figures are no indication of
worth, or influence, or achievement,
or any other real value, but simply
of the fact that we like to be hum
plugged.

erything before them.
Nor is it even organization, dis
cipline and equipment that will
make a small number invincible, in
the presence of a numerically over
whelming host. Enthusiasm, spirit,
faith, righteous cause, will do the
same. Witness the victories of the
Maccabees over the Syrian Greeks,
or the American colonists over the
British legions.
The history of civilization fur
nishes similar examples. Large fig
ures are of no Importance. The two
greatest contributors to the worlds
culture have been Israel and the
Greeks, both small, yea, among the
smallest of nations.
Mere numbers are deceptive.
Anyone who, as evidence of achieve
ment, displays figures, either de-
ceives himself, or seeks to deceive
others. This may not be entirely
true of business, but it is true Of the
other affairs, and activities, and re-
lations of life. And in an age and
country where people like to de-
ceive, or be deceived, figures have
particular fascination, and are used
as an argument in preference to any
other.
Barnum, of circus-freaks and
fakes fame, is not the only one who
said that people in this country like
to be humbugged. Every careful
observer who has studied our peo-
pie has repeated it. More decep-
ton, more trickery is practiced here
than anywhere else. More shame
and humbugs flourish here than
anywhere else. Only recently
the press reported that in short
space of time over 5000 fraud or
ders were issued by the postal au-
thorities. More gold-brick swind-
lers, overlapping and race frauds
of every kind are perpetrated here
than anywhere else.
Why that is so is another ques-
ton. Perhaps our propensity to
get rich quick, and the little value
that money, easily made, has with
us, will account for our national
weakness, our readiness to be "tak-
en- in.'' Be that as it may, the fact
remains that we are a gullible and
self-deceptive people. Hence the
common use of figures to impress
and to convince us. There is not
an organization in this country but
strains every nerve to roll up big
membership, so as to make show
