INGALLS, TRIBUTE mo GRASS

Grass is the forgiveness of Nature
her constant benediction. Fields
trampled with battle, saturated with
blood, torn with the ruts of cannon,
grow green again with grass, and
carnage is forgotten. Streets aban-
doned by traffic become grass grown
like rural lanes, and are obliterated.
Forests decay, harvests perish, flow
ers vanish, but grass is immortal.
Lying in the sunshine among the
buttercups and dandelions of May,
scarcely higher in intelligence than
the minute tenants of that mimic
wilderness, our earliest recollections
are of grass; when fitful fever is
ended, and foolish wrangle Of the
market and forum is closed, grass
heals over the scar which our des-
cent into the bosom of the earth has
made, and the carpet of the infant
becomes the blanket of the dead
John James Ingalls,.

VIC con THE BIC PRoFITs?

A retail merchant was telling me
the other day about the profits the
war brought him. Another one had
told me something of the same thing
in the early davs Of the war. How,
when prices began to go up, the
merchants simply marked up the
prices they had on hand to cores
pond with the new prices and made
profits they had never before though
it possible to make. Think Of doub-
ling ones money on such stanles as
meat and meal, as this one referred
to told me he did. He said, too, that
now, Everything is so unsettled
from the war that we can charge
far bigger profits than we ever got
before and nobody knows the differ
ence."
/ am not quarreling with these
particular merchants. Practically all
merchants did the same thing. And
/ am not writing this to stir up any
feeling against the men who sell
goods. 1t is important, however,
that the record be kept straight and
that the many neople who are still
thinking of the farmers as the chief
beneficiaries of wartime prices be
brought to a realization of who really
got the big profits out of these in
flated prices. The real "profiteers"
IF one wishes to apply that term
are to be found not among the pro-
dueers, but among the distributors

@@@@@&@@@4 . @@@@@@ .
H. D. Strunk, editor Of the Gazette,
McCook, Neb., utters good solid sense
ia en- article on the subject, "ls the
County Paper a Family Necessity Z"
in which he argues that no commu-
nifty can be what it ought to be with
out having a good local paper and
then rsaying fundamentally to its
support. In presenting his argument
Mr. Strunk says:
In these days Of economy the old
family question often comes up:
what can we do without in order
to save little money? Can we
do without the old county paper, or
had we better economic in some
other way? Is the county paper a
necessity like bread and milk and
fuel, or could we do without it just
as well as not
Sure, any family in this community
can live without county paper
that is, they can live after fashion,
exist, breathe, eat, sleep and work.
So can an animal live that cannot
talk, nor read nor reason, but who
wants to be an animal? AS the fell
low says: "a camel can go seven
days without water, but who wants
to be a camel?"
Listen; If you save all the money
you make and fail to find out how to
make what you save easier, with less
work and w~ and with the use
of the experiences Of others, you
haven't gained anvthing-you have
lost The first requisite to acquir-
ing wealth or even a good living, is
ntelligence-intelligence in SPENDING
the money that is made and in MAX
ing what you get to- spend with less
painful effort.
The county paper is the means by
which the common experiences Of the
community are made public for the
use Of all who read the paper. If the
bridge is out, the paper says so, and

with the great world outside your
own neighborhood except in a general
way.
Then again, the county paper af-
fects your life wholly aside from the
material standpoint, from the stand
point Of value expressed in money.
Il is The county paper that gecltes
the vcly stirring events in yoIr life
and tie life Of those who are near
and dear to you, that puts down in
imperishable print the vital personal
happenings which come into the life
of ever pefson
The .rths, ma ages and deaths
are faithfully recorded, the business
changes, the accidents and incidents
that turn the current of life-of these
things which each and every time
the county paper is published causes
something in the columns to be
clipped and laid away among the
treasures and heirlooms of the fam
lily.
The price of the county paper can
be honestly found by comparison with
the price of daily papers or maya
zines. 1t is fixed by the cost Of pub
fishing it. 1t saves its own price
in money twice over to every family
every year that it is published, and it
does more--it knits together the
whole community, taking a larger
position then even the school or the
church because of its wider scope
and more independent attitude Would
you want OF live here without the
churches and schools?
