REGRET REMOVAL

Mrs. Johnson regrets the removal
of The Republican from the old
stand to the new home on account OF
the bulletin board if for no other
reason. The important news which
was always on it could be read from
her store and many time she could
do without purchasing paper by
just reading the bulletins, other
times it was an incentive to purchase
a daily and get the particulars. Now
it will be necessary to come around
the corner and up the block to see
the bulletins which is some inconven.
fence. It's surprising how many peo-
pie stop to read the bulletins; all
take a great interest in them.

THE OFFICE OF THE ANGEL
Mortals Have But to Obey What They Know l.
the Truth

many kindred ills. His angel has led
him in unto his enemies and he must
do battle with them and rid the land
of them. And the Joy of it all Is that
the same angel, so Christian Science
makes plain, which uncovers error,
teaches the unreality of it all and
makes clear the rule by which evil
can be scientifically and lawfully put
out of thought and so out of life. In
deed, the Exodus record leaves no
doubt concerning the way, Beware
of him." it reads, land obey his voice,
provoke him not" And it adds this
promise-"But if thou shalt indeed
obey his voice, and do all that
speak; then 1 will be an enemy unto
thine enemies and an adversary unto
thine adversaries." Furthermore. the
command is urged, "Thou shalt not
bow down to their gods. nor serve
them, nor do after their works; but
thou shalt utterly overthrow them,
and quite break down their images" "
And he who does this, and who
serves the Lord his God, is assured
that sickness shall be taken away
from him, and that God Himself
shall drive out all enemies.
All this makes it quite clear that
mortals have simply to desire, and to
desire honestly. humbly, whole-heart-
I,edly, the truth. They have then to
obey what they know OF Truth. and
Truth will work out its holy purpose.
Christian Scientists are convinced
that the Scriptures and Mrs. Eddys
writings reveal the truth. and furnish
divine rules for applying it to human
life. The understanding and applica-
tion Of the rules for establishing
ChristlikeneSs must act, as did the
angel to the Israelites, In leading us
to see our errors and to cut them off
The sin and sickness of individuals,
of communities, of nations, are un-
covered by Goods thoughts passing
to man" Thus uncovered, they
must be vanquished by the proof OF
their unreality. And let him who
may feel the working out of it all to
be slow. either for individuals or for
the nations, take courage from the
later words in the Exodus chapter,
81 will not drive them out from be-
fore thee in one year; lest the land
become desolate, and the beast Of the
field multiply against thee. By little
and little 1 will drive them out from
before thee, until thou be increased,
and inherit the land" If the office
Of the angel OF spiritual understand
ing is TO counteract all evil, its right
eous purpose, surely, cannot be
stayed; and its pure ministrations
must continue till all this be fulfill

THE EDITORS
AND THE WAR

A hint of the effect which the
war will have on the American press
is to be found by scanning the pages
OF newspapers appearing within the
past week. There has been a notice.
able tendency of the papers to settle
down and realize their real function,
that Of publicity as distinguished from
idle-and possibly harmful-gossip. A
step already has been taken to make
the newspaper function as the true
servant of the people. In the days to
that counts. The descriptions of the
wedding gowns and honeymoons OF
the rich will be displayed by national
and vital issues. The newspaper will
be a publicist in the real sense. The
newspaper will inform the public OF
victory or disaster. The newspaper
will be the 1st to spread the gospel OF
food production and conservation, and
it will be the newspaper which will
bring young America to the recruitine
camps. The public in time or wal
wants service and demands truth. A
public that is sincerely interested ir
the war will not tolerate sensational.
ism nor carelessness in the matter OF
truth. And editors will lose no time
in giving the readers what they want
1t will be the prayer of many an ed
itor that the war will establish per
manently in the minds of the people
high ideals, and true principles of tn,
ethics of journalism. Then may tn,
newspaper enter upon a career o
service that constructs, and cast asid,
a regime of dictatorship tfAt destroys

WHAT is A
DAYS FLOWING?

Farmers frequently want to know
how much land can be plowed in a
day and how much work 1t requires
to break an acre Records mt the
Missouri college of agriculture on p
122 acres of land show that it re-
quired ga hours of man labor and
9.3 hours Of horse labor for each
acre. OF course the time required to
plow an acre will depend on the size
of the plow and the number of horses
used. a 4-horse gang plow with 2
12-inch bottoms will average about
4.12 acres a day of 90 hours, when it
is running 6 inches deep. The same
plow running S inches deep will break
4 of an acre less. 3 3-hOrse sulky
