county there are certain towns where
the people work and pray, pay their
bills, strive to be decent towards their
neighbors, and who are alive to the
value of giving their young people the
best training with the means at hand
1t is in the towns where carelessness
and Indifference and low standards
prevail that the pastors of churches
and teachers of schools have an oppor
tunity to give a service which cannot
be measured

THE EXPIRE STDENT

The ex-prcsident is a plain Ameri-
can citizen who has made an en-
forced and reluctant exit from the
White House, and would like to have
somebody show him the way back. AL
though the species is almost extinct,
we still have two ex-presidents who
IRE in vigorous health and q receptive
mood, neither of whom would duck un-
der a wooden culvcrt to escape being
hit by lightning.
The duty of the ex-president is to
pass judgment upon his successor, and
show why a change of administration
would be a good thing for all concern
ed. 1t is also his business to lay the
new president across his LAP and cas-
tigate him in the region of his foreign
policy. From time to time the ex-presi-
dent contributes long, throbbing ar
tieles to magazines, at 81 per throb,
which are read with much pleasure by
people who would prefer to vote in
some other direction.
This country now supports two ex-
presidents who disagreed about some
thing in 1912 and lost their ''entente
cordiale - and other things. Both are
men of great intellect and eavernous
vocabulary, and it is a painful sight
to see them refer to each other in cold,
sighting terms which the moving pic

what it is. 1t may be the church or

encouraged and inspired the young

beaten light and thick; pour into a
buttered mold two-thirds full, cover

individual molds. three-quarters of an
hour is sufficient to cook them. Serve
with hard sauce daintily heaped
around the pudding. A wreath of holly
on the edge of the platter makes this
truly festive dish.
Cranberry SnowbaIs.--Sift together
two cupfuls of flour, pinch OF salt,
and three teaspoonfuls Of baking
powder; add sufficient sweet milk to
make a soft batter. one cupful OF
sugar. one and a half cupfuls of Gran
