ALL IN THE DO.

9 All that Jesus began both to
do and to teach. = In no science,
even the most exact methemati-
cal, is there such accurate writ
ing as in God s books. Note the
order of good DIR. Luke. DO and
teach. This is heavens order, and
all heaven s orders mean sue
cess. DO first, and then teach
and you teach by your doing. It
is all right to go to college ans
get the theory of the thing, but
you will never amount to much
in your profession until you be-
gin to do and are taught in the
doing. Who wants a pin feather
lawyer or a squad doctorY You
can study the Book and attend
Bible classes and know all scrip
ture, but you will never amount
to very much as Christian until
you get out among your felloW-
men and do. Real teaching comes
by swinging class, visiting the
sick, standing for religion in Of
flee and shop, living it in the
home. The Master went about
doing good. 1t was thus he taught
oood with such telling effect that
the crowds came to hear. When
you get into the doing good habit
mot just talking good---the
world nowadays is noisy with
that it will amaze you how solid
and far-reaching your teaching
will be. Grenfell went to the fish

1900 SIGNERS
TO DATE

The report comes from head
quarters at Hinckley that there
are now 1900 Signatures on the
petition for removal of county
seat to Hinckley. This Is 4 good
record for only two weeks work
and bad weather conditions.
The sentiment i very strong
for a new court house and th1t
the voters should have 4 chance
to choose its location. The idea
of spending even $40, 900 patching
up the old wooden building is
considered q joke by nearly every
signer. We are advised BY those
in charge Of the work that there
will be ut least $500 signatures
on the petition inside of the first
SO days.

Special to the American.
The dedication of the Kerrick
Consolidated School was held last
Saturday evening and was q pro-
nounced success in every way.
The program was extra ordinari-
" good and was enjoyed by every
one present. The dedication was
opened by an address by Ray
mond Hogan assisted by Ray
mond Macy and William Hilton,
Jr., and was followed by q very
complete program in which near
" all scholars We're participants.
w. p. Hogan gave an address
presenting the school to the dis
trict and scholars, which was fol-
lowed by an acceptance by one
of the scholars.
Miss Schallon Of the State Rur-
al School department was present
and spoke at some length and
with considerable praise Of the
building and Of the board for its
efforts and thoroughness in the
work done.
After the program, q most en-
ticing lunch was served.
Our teachers, Miss Eleanor
Ward and Miss Katy Young were
complimented a number of times
on the thoroughness Of their
work.
A very nice crowd attended
from our sister towns on the
north and south and after the
doings in the school house were
over, most all the folks moved
to the town hall and made the
rest of the night merry with q
dance. In all we had just one,
good time and we invite our
neighbors to come again.

that If all were to do as he does,
the loss would be enormous; and
it all were to do as he should, the
saving would be great. We are
both careless and thonghtless. We
leave our lights burning when
they do no one any good. We
leave the water running, forget
ting that the meter is ON its job
all the time, and every turn of
the wheel means money to some
one, if not to us. 1t is all very
well to say: q 1t S included iii
the rent, yes, but the land
lord has probably figured that
out when he fixed his rental. YoG
pay, not he, for every hour yon
burn a useless light, or let the
water run to waste.
A certain school teacher, wide
awake to impress these things
upon her pupils, got her great
chance one day. A little girl
made few figures ON a sheet Of
paper and threw it away. The
teacher asked why she wasted
that sheet of paper. and the pupil
replied that lit was only sheet
of paper, and besides, it was fur
nished, by the Board of Educa-
ton free. - Calling the class to
order, she asked them to take out
their pads and count the number
of sheets. Then she told them
what the pad cost and asked
them to calculate the cost of one
sheet fraction of fraction of
cent. She then told them how
many pupils attended the schools
of the city on an average of 1S0
days year and asked them to
figure the cost if each pupil
wasted but one sheet day. The
total was a surprise.
It's not the cost of single
sheet of paper, a single hour of
useless light, a match, cejt or
two, that counts-it's S the cumu-
lative totals tha make the aston.
ishing losses.
There is such thing as being
mean and niggardly with your.

WASTING A SHEET OF PAPER

In practice OF economy there
must be reason and due regard to
relative values, for in the saving
OF little there may be the vast
ing Of much. For instance, a Ger
tam bank president drawing a
goodly salary, spends great
deal OF time cutting envelopes for
use as scratch paper. He is vast
ing his time, for if he is worthy
Of being president of bank, his
brain value is so much greater
worth than the paper value he is
trying to save, that he is penny
wise and pound foolish. He
should be thinking out the prob
lens of his bank, not trying to
save it a few sheets of paper. On
the other hand, it would be good
economy for a large department
store, burning hundreds of lights
daily, to pay man ten dollars
a week to watch for needless
waste of light and turn out -hose

A certain man dropped nickel
at a railroad station. In his en-
deavor to find it, he lost his
train, lost his temper, missed a
business engagement that held up
four other men, and caused con-
fusion all round. and had to
spend quarter for a telegram to
hold the engagement for his late
arrival. That was poor economy.
The point to be emphasized in
all such endeavors is to impress

Fire damaged the II. p. round
house Wednesday night. The fire
caught from the stovepipe of one
of the stoves and had the roof
nicely ablaze before it was dis
covered.
Owing to the deep snow the
fire engine was coupled to the old
reservoir at the town hall and
after vainly trying for some time
to get water was dragged to the
hydrant near the fire. BY this
time the entire roof was ablaze
and one section fell in. After the
water was turned ON the fire was

ENTENTE TRADE PACT"
HANDICAPS AMERICA
Negotiations with Russia Halted by
Paris Agreement.

The trade pact Of the entente allies
has effectually blocked negotiations for
the proposed new commercial treaty with
Russia, which Ambassador David R.
Francis took up at Petrograd several
months ago. Information reaching the
State Department indicates the United
States viii find It impossible to arrange
new commercial treaties with any OF
the entente allies until they have con-
cluded their "all for one, and one for
ALL after-the-war trade arrangement.
The outlook is that the allied negotia
tions on this problem will not be ended
until the war Is over.
Samuel n. Harper professor Of econo-
mics at the University OF Chicago, who
accompanied Ambassador Francis to
Petrograd, and who has been unofficially
interested in the Russian treaty negotia-
tions, has reported to the State Depart
ment and the Department Of Commerce
that the commercial conference of the en-
tente allies at Paris had prevented prog
ress In Petrograd. The Russian foreign
office let Ambassador Francis know that
It could not take up the American trade
treaty until the commercial position OF
Russia as related to the allies had been
definitely settled.
The Paris conference framed resolu-
tions, to be ratified by the individual bel
ligerents, committing all OF them to joint
commercial activity after the war.
The other entente allies are expected
to follow the lead Of Russia, and to DE-
cline to consider new trade agreements
with the United States at this time.
According to Prof Harper, the entente
allies look upon their own international
business as OF much more Importance
than any negotiations with the United
States.
America has enjoyed the fruits Of
neutrality; she must now pay the penal
ties of neutrality" is declared to be the
attitude OF the entente.
The State Department is confronted
with the problem OF negotiating scores of
new commercial treaties to replace pacts
which expire by Limitation within the
next few months.
