The lesson the soldiers in the trench
cs are teaching is the sacrifice Of self
for the welfare and happiness OF their
fellowmen. That was the lesson that
Jesus Christ taught during his sojourn
on earth and 1t was the lesson he left
when he went back to his Father. Th.'
things the Allied world Is doing now
have been made possible only as the
result OF two thousand years OF the
gospel Of Christ. II would be rash to
promise that all things are to be full
filled as the result of this terrible war:
but it is not unreasonable to assert
that there are already many visible
tendencies in that direction, and that
whereas the prcdominating idea of the
world has been self before all others.
hereafter there will be greater consid-
era zion OF others along with self. The
soldiers have learned and are learning
this in the trenches and the people
back home are learning it from the
soldiers. When the soldiers return
they will he still better teachers even
than they now are. and the progress
OF all will be still more rapid. Here
IS the text: do unto others as you
would have them to do unto you." and
Love thy neighDor as thyself."

The Enquirer does not want to be
understood as objectins TO the idea OF
the farmer getting his cotton ginning
Al the lowest possible cost. Not a bit
of il. ON the contrary, that is exacly
what We want, and ii is the point we
ar, trying TO make. Common sense
Sa,s that the ginner must have a fair
proflt the same as anybody else, or he
Tcannot gin. The food administration
took that into consideration when II
fixed the price Of ginning separately
from the price of seed. II is a fact
that there is no law TO compel gin
ncr 10 charge the price fixed by the
food administrator. IL there had been
such a law there would have been no
need for action of the kind that has
been taken. Blu: when the food ad-
minis,ration fixed the price OF seed
and OF seed products 1t found itself as
u matter oi course compelled TO fix
the price of ginning. AS to whether
the price of seed Is too high or too low
HAS nDtnlU5 W uo WIN 'hS PiSoShN III
gumcnt; but it ought not to be very
Lirricult for anybody TO realize that the
price OF seed can very easily be made
a good deal lower. If the rules of the
food administration are not observed
AS To ginning then these rules may
very easily bc allowed to lapse as to
the price OF seed. In that case farm
ers can be made to pay more for GIN
ming than they are now paying. and
some of them will never be able to see
it. This agitation against the ginning
price is very unwise in our opinion.
TIE only reason that any ginner can
have to underbid the fixed price is the
hope of getting an increased volume
of business at the expense of the other
fellow. He is working for himself
rather than for the farmer and in
view of the possible consequences the
farmer will do well to condemn rather
than applaud him.

HERE AND THERE

He is a genius for supplying tho
news when the papers do not come
He never fails. There were no papers
Wednesday morning, and as soon a.
the fact became known, he had out his
story. II was to the effect that the
Germans had captured $1,000 Ameri-
cans yesterday" or course the story
spread among the timid and apprehen-
sivc, and they were soon pushing II
along by the same method he had
adopted in the beginning by asking
"ls it true that the Germans got 81,
900 OF our Americans yesterday"
Some people would say rats. and some
people would continue the ominous in
Quirics to the further spreading of the
story. This thing has been going Oh
for a long time. Observant people
have noticed that the stories come on
~ when there arc no papers. As ia
who the enterprising news manufac-
turer is nobody seems TO know: but
he Is evidently an individual with
some imagination. He was not very
plausible in this case. however, for
anybody with any sense ought to know
that while II might be possible TO cap
ture $1,000 Germans, or even that
many British or French, the idea OF
anybody capturing 27,000 Americans al
one time is simply absurd. II Is with
in the range of possibility that SO
many might be killed: but not cap
tured.

smith shop in Sharon last Monday. are
still at large, and there is no intelligi-

The men are named Moore-Mills
and Frank Moore. They are brothers
sons of the old woman who was
keeping the disorderly house, and
brothers of the two girls who were in

notorious characters. Mills and Frank
have both served terms on the Cleye-

the whole outfit Is we'll known in Cas-

some trouble at first to get their true
names. This information was finally
secured through the sheriff Of Cleve-

Tney cover a total front of one hun

so fully that they have been obliged
to give up the benefits derived from
shortening their lines, II the hypothe-
sis Is true that they did so In order to
obtain reserves with which to consti-
tute a m; Eoeuvreing force. Instead
Of employing those reserves in an ef-
fort to regain the initiative in certain
positions, they ave been obliged to
call upon them to re-enforce the troops

The SUCCESS of Marshall Foch's tao

that have accomplished these results
