ROADSIDE THOUGHTS

We don't pass any shrines of BAG
chus or his devotees overcome by wor-
ship, on the way to Pennington now,
but we do see lots of things that
could be made better. For instance,
group of men at the R. R. crossing
where all men of ability or means who
by using both could get others to CO.
operate with them and put up a COM
munity house where they could meet
at opportune times and discuss their
agricultural problems to much better
effect than sitting by the roadside in
small groups.
By getting together they could de-
mand the worth of their products and
get it and stop some of this market
cornering by the moneyed men.
The community house would neces-
sarily have to have small beginnings
but as interest and enthusiasm grew
it could have great endings such as a
library, a room for games for the
children and young people, and park
where outdoor sports and picnics
could be enjoyed. Then, the preacher
employed by such community might
be able to spare some time to preach
from the Bible instead of from agri-
cultural text books and using his
time to find wholesome pleasures and
diversions for the young people of his
flock. Unless this is done for him,
the preacher of today knows he has
to do it else his preaching falls on
stony ground.
Going little farther on our way
we see, from the rustiness of the ar
ticles, what we hope are only the re-
mains of prehistoric Pennington fill
ing the gulehes by the roadside, be-
cause if the present Pennington is
guilty of dumping its wornout pans
and buckets along our otherwise very
passable looking highways-welP we
don't like it, to say the least.
Another thing that would improve
our road views would be to let the
man Of old irons have all the farm
machinery that isn't worth housing,
