Better crops were never raised in
the United States than this year The
yield of small grain was enormous
and the corn crop will be better than
ever before. Good crops mean more
money for the farmers, but they mean
more than this. Every man, woman
and child in this country will be bene-
fitted. Everybody will have more money
to spend and every business will in
crease Natures rich bounty will
reach everyone and we will all be
happier as a result.

God intended that there should be
one day each week as an especial day
for the culture of home ties. A day
when the father would be home from
work, and the children home from
school, and the mother have less of
household care, when all could put on
their bestc lothes, sing their sweetest
songs, and enjoy day of love. The
Sabbath should never be made a day
of labor in the home. The work of
each home should be so arranged that
it can be done almost entirely in six
days and as evenly as possible in each
day, six days shalt thou labor and
do all thy work"

Old winter has recently loos-
ened his grip to the extent of
about 40 degrees Fahrenheit
causing the spirits of our popu-
lace to take rise to about the
same extent.
A letter from Mrs. Lucian
Moore says the family is com
fortably located in their recently
acquired Kansas home, and that
they have a new automobile and
eight cases of measles.
Mr.. G. w. Hayes, who has
been seriously i'll for several

Mrs. ]. A. Mcfarland, Camp
bellsville, is at the bedside of
her father, Mr.. G. w. Hayes.

Measles continue to menace

Perhaps this community has

Perhaps this community has
never acquired and lost citizen
whose removal from the COM
munity met with a more univer-
sal regret than that of Luther
Williams. Born and reared here
and connected from his youth
with the business at Montpelier,
he knew the custom and his line
from A to z. His natural busi-
ness tact makes him master of
any thing he turns his hands to.
Hence his sphere of usefulness
is one that cannot be easily du-
plicated. Mr.. Williams had
been for years superintendent of
the Sunday school at Pleasant
Hill church and was a potent
leader in church affairs. To say
that he and his excellent family
will be missed by this communi-
ty in matters of business, church
and social affairs puts it mildly.
1t looks as if the whole Courier
Journals editorial staff includ-
ing "Marse Henry" would have
an extra attack of delirium tre-
mems on account of the General
Assembly's hostility toward John
Barleycorn and continues to hurl
vociferous epithets at that body
for having voted on the National
constitutional dry amendment
before the voters of the State
have had chance to express
themselves on that question.
This self appointed champion
of the peoples cause in the pres
ervation of traffic in coffin var

slow wits, the barrel of revolver was

"Take it easy, Olson" advised Cor

into the office. Keep your hands up"
Strong closed and locked the door
behind them.

up your keys and get them for me-"
Elliot commanded.
Wally did not need any keys. He
knew the combination of the safe and
opened it. From an inner drawer he
drew bunch of papers. Gordon looked
them over carefully. Strong sat on a
table and toyed with a revolver which
he jammed playfully into the stomach
of his fat prisoner.
GAIL here" announced the field agent.
The safe-robbers locked their prison
ers in the office and disappeared into
the night. They stopped at the house
of the collector of customs, q genial
young fellow with whom Elliot had
played tennis good deal, and left the
papers in his hands for safe-keeping.
After which they returned to the hotel
and reached the second floor by way
of the back stairs used by the serv-
ants.
Here they parted, each going to his
own room. Gordon slept like school
boy and woke only when the sun
poured through the window upon his
bed in a broad ribbon of warm gold.
He got up, bathed, dressed, and
went down into the hotel dining room.
The walters looked at him in amaze
ment. Gordon ate as if nothing were
the matter, apparently unaware of the
excitement he was causing. He paid
not the least attention to the nudging
and the whispering. After he had fin
ished breakfast, he lit a cigar, leaned
back in his chair, and smoked placidly.
Presently an eruption of men poured
into the room. At the head of them
was Gopher Jones. Near the rear Wal
ly Selfridge fingered modeslly. He
was not looking for hazardous adven-
ture.
"Whad you doing here" demanded
Gopher, bristling up to Elliot.
The young man watched a smoke
wreath float ceilingward before he
turned his mild gaze on the chief of
police.
"I'm smoking"

an impatient hand. "Cut 1t out, Elliot.
I've taken a fancy to go through with
this. / never did like Selfridge any
how, and amt got wife and don't

some fun?'
Gordon shrugged his shoulders. Gall
right. Might as well play ball and get
things moving, then"
The little miner knocked at the door.
Wally himself opened. Elliot, from the
shelter of the pine, saw the two men
in talk. Selfridge shut the door and
came to the edge of the porch. He
gave a gasp and his hands went trem-
bling into the air. The six-gun of the
miner had been pressed hard against
his fat paunch. Under curt orders ne
moved down the steps and out of the
yard to the tree.
At sight of Gordon the eyes of
Wally stood out in amazement. Little
sweat beads burst out on his forehead,
for he remembered how busy he had
been collecting evidence against this
man.
"W-w-what do you want?" he asked.
SCOT your keys with yOu?"
"Y-yes."
"COme with US"
Wally breathed more freely. For a
moment he had thought this man had
come to take vengeance on him.
