Many of the churches thruout
the country that are unable to pro-
cure preachers to fill their pulpits
will use monographs that will
give an able sermon by some
prominent pulpiteer from records.
In addition to the sermon high
class religious music by the coun-
try's leading choirs can also be
heard in conjunction with the SER
mon. This appeals to us as more
practicable and surely more sat
isfactory arrangement for church
es that are unable to supply their
congregations with good preach
er, than to have a local preacher
deliver sermons.

One nice thing about a girl who

But not one woman in 200 can

MIR. "THEY SAY"

How many times do we hear a
statement made upon the author.
ity of Mr.. "They Say?"
How many times do we believe
without investigation, the state
ments of this fictitious Mr.. "They
Say?"
And again, how many times dc
the actual facts agree with the
wild rumors perpetrated by this
same gentleman?
We are all too willing to listen
to gossip and hearsay evidence in
forming our opinions without tax
ing the time to make an impartial
investigation for ourselves, be-
cause being just average human
beings, we follow the path of
least resistance.
This tendency on our part is
conducive to much inaccuracy,
misunderstanding and trouble
with our neighbors and business
acquaintance because we have
allowed, to grow, the habit of
taking Mr.. "They Says" word for
it.
Just stop for moment and re-
member that to repeat a bit of
conversation, verbatim, is one of
the accomplishments granted on
ly to the most highly trained
minds.
Why, then, should we for one
moment, give credence to story
or rumor which we know has been
repeated by at least five people,
each one of whom, has undoubt-
edly added a few frills to his ver-
sion in order to make it a bit
more interesting?
Only the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, can
possibly be of any value to any of
us in forming our opinions.
In order to have our opinions
respected, we must be sure they
are correct before we express
them. Otherwise they are value
less, and our standing as persons
whose opinions are to be respect
ed. is equally valueless.
If you want to retain your own
self-respect as we'll as the respect
and confidence of others we say
again-beware of the Uattlings of
Mr. "They Say"

A trip to the ranches in the
valley will supply the reason to
a large extent of the high cost of
living. Here one will find any
quantity of good fruits and vege-
tables going to waste that would
be eagerly bought if the produce
was placed on the market at a
reasonable price. If these pro-
ducts are marketed in the usual
way, two or three middlemen must
have their rake-off and this makes
it necessary for the consumer to
pay high price. The only way
to beat the game is to send direct
to the producer, or go down in a
car and bring up load. From 100
to $50 per cent can be saved by
buying direct.
