PRICES GOING UP.

The prices of nearly every class
of agricultural products as well
as merchandise are going up, and
there is no settled price on any
thing or any article.
The prices of today are no
criterion for tomorrow. Those
who have things 10 sell need not
delay increasing prices, hoping
for a decline, for it may be years
before there are any declines IN
the prices of today.
These prices, however, VIII not
interfere with anybody except the
man who gets but small pit
lance for his labor, or the man
who is idle. With high and I'M
settled prices come the destruc-
ton Of credit. The persons who
have no money with which TO buy
and no credit may get ready to
economic and do without many
things which they have been
spending money too lavishly for
heretofore.
We have no rich people in
this country and so it behooves
all of our people to be economl-
cal and not spend money too
freely.

IN MEMORIAM.

The death angel visited the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Gil
lom on Sept. 18TH and claimed
their little babe which was the
light and JOY of their home. Lat
tie Laura Pauline was born July
Is, 1916, and died Sept. is, 1916.
She died il whOoping cough and
pneumonia. The little body was
laid TO rest in the Hickman city
cemetery IN a lonely and silent
grave the body sleepeth, and the
little soul is at home and at rest
with God. Yet we know there
mas been many hearts made 10
feel sad over her departure. But
/ say 10 you father and mother,
do not mourn for your little darl-
ing is at rest. Only prepare your
self to meet her where parting Is
unllnownn, for you can never
meet her again on earth, but IN
heaven you can meet her If you
will where we all Will be at
home forever. God S will be
done. and not ours. And may
we ever look to Him while going
through this world, for everything
works out for the best for the
ones who love him. So do not
looks so much ON on one side,
while we are looking on the
rough and rugged road. But turn
our heads for one moment and
look at that beautiful narrow
path that is marked with the
foot prints of Jesus. And while
looking on this, may We recall
his words where he said Fol
low me. May God and his
guarding angel comfort mother
and father. 80

TO GET WINTER EGGS.

In order to obtain eggs it is
necessary to have healthy, vigo-
rous stock, properly fed, and a
dry place for them to stay in at
night.
See that the fowls have plenty
of green feed. Always sow a
patch of rye for the chickens, or
better still, have a mixture of
oats, rye, and clover sown to-
gether.
Have a place for the chickens
to scratch. Put the wheat, corn
and oats in straw and let them
scratch for it. This will give them
plenty of exercise and help to
keep them warm.
Give one pint of grain feed te
each dozen birds twice a day
and just before going to roost al
low them TO have hot mash made
by cooking some vegetables, sucl
as turnips and cabbage, and ais
using the table scraps, such a
cold bits of meats, etc., and mix
ing this with bran.
Have a comfortable house fo
the fowls. The sides, top an,
back must be tight. Have III
] door facing the south, and re
that the floor is dry at all time,
In order to- have healthy fowl
i. the house should be cleaned on
as often as once a week.

PATRIOTISM AND MiLlTARISM.

Those chauvinists who measure
love of country only in terms of arms
and gunpowder may we'll take note
of the utterances of some of the lab
or leaders. 1t has too long been the
custom to pass judgment on public
questions by quoting the opinion Of
some banker, merchant prince, college
professor or newspaper editor. Each
of these has his place in making up
the public opinion Of the community,
constitute that public opinion. But
public officials have been too ready
to take these persons as seriously as
they take themselves, and attach too
much weight to their judgment. 1t
has been so with the Chicago Board
of Education in its plan to establish
military training in the high schools.
Members of the Federation of Labor
recently appeared before the commit
tee to protest against compulsion.
Victor A. Olander, secretary of the
Federation, said organized labor was
in favor of proper preparation for the
defense of the country, but it was op-
posed to any system that drilled into
the minds of young boys the idea
that they had the right to kill their
fellows; and he added:
Health is the first requisite of re-
cruit. The Federation believes in
providing outdoor physical training
for the boys, teaching them to walk
long distances, letting them learn
how to live in a camp and at the same
time maintain health. Do that, and
the rest of your military training will
be easy"

spirit were uttered by James Lord,
president of the Mining Department
of the American Federation of Labor,
in answer to a question of New York
World reporter as to whether labor
ing men would flock to the defense OF
the country as the French workmen
have, or "embarras the Government
like-well, like the miners in Wales?"
To which Mr.. Lord answered.:
"Glad you spoke of Wales. That
clears the issue at once. Let me tell
you something you don't know about
the miners in Wales-and American
capitalists may learn something they
don't know about the workingmen of
America. The Welsh miners who
went on strike at the outbreak of the
war proved to be the greatest pat
riots in the British Empire. Do you
know of any other class Of workers
during the period of the war? That
and Britain did not accept the serv-
ice. 1t was the kind of sacrifice the
ruling class of any country does not
want its workers to make. Mr.. Run
Gilman of the Board of Trade was hus-

situation summarily. The miners ar
gued that they were asking only a
modest raise in wages, while the
mine owners were suddenly acquiring
exorbitant profits. Then, after a con
ference, the union leaders approached
Mr.. Runciman. "All right" they said,
1--WE have decided that we will go back
to work for our board and lodging
for just what is necessary to keep us
alive and working, on one condition"
The condition was that the coal
should be furnished to the Govern
ment at cost. That settled the strike
The miners got their raise"
The workingmen of America, Mr.
Lord says, would respond wholeheart-
eddy if the country were in danger OF
invasion, but they do not want mill
tarism. They do not want a military
system that will intensity class condi-
tions, and in the end be used to op.
press labor. And they feel that when
the molders of public opinion are as
willing to sacrifice their wealth-not
in loans, but in direct contribution
as they are to sacrifice human life
we shall have sound patriotism, and
no unnecessary wars.-The Public

MAJESTIC

Two we'll known stars, William s.
Hart and House Peters, appear in the
Triangle production, "Between Men"
to be shown Friday at the Majestic.
White and Lewiston, the men, are
business rivals, and later become riv.
ais in love, for the hand of Hamp-
tons daughter. There is little to
choose between the men, both are
cool, level-headed business men, who
usually get what they go after.
White succeeds in saving Hamp-
toms fortune, and Lewiston, thinking
the daughter cares for his rival deter.
mines to 60 west.
Sitting on the observation platform
of the west bound train he is surpris-
ed by the girl, and her father, whom
she persuaded to make the trip.
The picture is full of unusual situa-
lions, and abounds in thrills.
"Dizzy Heights and Daring Hearts,
is a Keystone comedy guaranteed to
make a sphinx laugh. Chester Conk-
lin appears at his best in this pic
ture, and the situations which arise
are said to be scream. Kidnapping
the heroine in an areoplane and
throwing bombs at his speeding riv-
al below, Is Just one OF the things
Conklin does. This picture will also
be shown Friday.
Jackie Saunders appears in 'The
Twin Triangle" Monday evening.
This picture tells fascinating story
of gypsy and camp life intermingled
with scenes in society life. Miss
Saunders plays dual role, being both
a gypsy girl and society belle. The
story Of a girl, stolen by gypsies when
baby, Of her life with the gypsies,
and how she finds happiness at last
is splendidly pictured.

But he is wrong, absolutely and en-
tirely, when as remedy he says:
II ask for military preparedness to
help the soul Of the nation. l ask
for it to quicken the national con-
science, to help the national disci-
pine"
Mr.. Roosevelt proposes to correct
social evils by establishing universal
military service and by maintaining
a large navy and standing army. But
how can this cure the disease? VIII
it set any iCler to earning his keep?
Will it tighten the burden of any
who labOrs? Will it do more for us
than it has done for the people Of
Europe?
Germany has universal military
service, and great military system.
1t is said to be the best In the world.
The people have been welded into a
unity that has led them to make un-
paralleled sacrifices for their country.
But has not Germany it's idlers and
it's overburdened workers? Is not
the canker of discomfort working
there as it is here? And must it not
be cured there, as here, by removing
the cause? Must we not, in a word,
establish Justice?
We have become soft, we do lack
moral stamina, and we do love ease.
But the way to cure this weakness of
character is not by organizing an ar
my to fight other peoples suffering
from the same disease. It is brave
thing for man to face an enemy in
arms. Mr.. Roosevelt will do that; al
most any man will do it under neces-
sary conditions. But it is far brav'
er thing to do justice to ones fellow
The meanest man may shoulder a
rifle, but will he get off his fellows
back. Mr.. Roosevelt would fight to
the death in battle. Will he do JUS
tice in time of peace?
We need the moral awakening that
he says we need, but his plan will
lead only to the end that Europe has
found. Let him throw his spirit and
enthusiasm into righting social con
ditions through the establishment Of
justice; let him preach to the idle!
the gospel Of work, and to the work
er the hope Of fully requitted toll; LEI
him stand for the repeal of every Law

THE WRONG REMEDY

Mr.. Roosevelt's diagnosis is at
fault. He sees the disease, but he
fails to understand the cause, and
hence applies the wrong remedy. His
heart is democratic, but his head is
autocratic; and, though his sympathy
enlists his service in behalf of man
kind, his judgment leads him into the
old, old error of trying to help the
people, instead of putting them in
the way of helping themselves. He
is right when he exclaims with &C.
static fervor:
"Our national character is in the
balance. Americanism is on trial. {.
Love of ease, Sinking of effort, un-
willingness to face facts, the desire
to comfort ourselves by words-all
spell worthlessness while our civil
izat1on lasts, and speedy and ig-
noble end Of that civilization"
