A Corn Fed Girl can be just as mis-
cradle as q hin girl when she is in
love. But when she signs she merely
gives 0 the impression hat she is
uncomfortable from eating too much.
The modern preacher is expected to
arouse the consciences of the poor pa
~riShionerS without disturbing the con-
sciences of the wealthy parishioners.
And what has become of the o. +.
tad who used to carry a red bandanna
in his hat?
If a man wore the tail of a dead
buzzard in his hat he would expect
you to throw rocks at him. But when
q woman wears n in her hat she ex-
poets to be admired.
You do not see as many knees as
you used to. And the present styles
do not give you the impression that
the big girls are wearing their little
sisters skirts.
A female educator Is shocked be-
cause SO many modern children do not
believe In Santa Claus. Shux! That's
nothing. A lot of them do not even
believe in the stork.
Ever notice thai when you get into
a crowd you are the only one in the
crowd who seems to be in a hurry?
or course 1t Is none of our business.
But when a twenty-year-old girl is
developed like a forty-year-old matron
h ought to wear a brassiere under
her sweater.
About this time of year Father sits
around in nervous dread every Sunday
He is waiting for Mother to tell him
to take the screens out of the windows
and put them up in the garnet.
The six or seven thousand strikes
now in effect in this country do not
worry us much. But idea of Real
Trouble would be to have the Mothers
In this country go on Strike for More
Money and Less Work.
Why is it hat when you ask your
Better Half for q cup of coffee she
will fill the cup to the brim every time.
And what has become of the indus
trious youth who used to get a folding
bed or a rocking chair with his Gig
arctic coupons?
Many a homely girl Is distant be-
cause she has heard that distance
lends enchantment to the view.
About the only time a wife pays any
attention to anythings her husband
says is when he talks in his sleep.
Another wonderful thing is how
smart a man a be in business and
What a darn fool he can be in love.

A WISE SELECTION

In the appointment of George L. Record to the tax inves-
tigating committee authorized by the last legislature Governor
Runyon has called to the aid of the state one OF the greatest.
authorities on taxation to be found in this country, especially.
in regard to New Jersey. When the committee was first au--
thorized Governor Edge was urged to name Mr.. Record as one
of the committeeman, but the governor was then SO busy fixing
up his political fences that he was afraid of injuring his ma
chine by naming such a radical as Record.
That Governor Runyon has taken the first opportunity to
add Mr.. Record to the committee, through the resignation of
Frank Il. Sommer, is gratifying to those who desire a real,
comprehensive report on the condition of state taxes. Wheth-l
er one agreesywith Mr.. Record or not none will deny his ability
especially in the matter of taxation. With Mr.. Record added
a new interest is Great E&the Investigation and the report is
awaited with mLR

The Good Old Days
I wish we were back in the good old
days
OF forty years ago;
Before men met with the get-rich-
quick craze,
When every one had dough.
When men were content and they all
looked sleek.
Tot could get by on your pay;
You could raise a family on fifteen per
week,
And have money put away.
There were no strikes in the good old
days.
And very little crime:
The cost Of living could never raise,
And q dime was worth a dime.
When no profiteers had come to loot,
And life was not all dues:
Ten dollars would buy q Sunday suit,
And a dollar a pair of shoes.

UNION TABERNACLE
CAMPAIGN NEXT MONTH
Under Direction Of Evangelist Al
drich and Party of Five
Other Persons

It has been decided to have a un-
ion tabernacle campaign in Morris,
beginning Sunday, Nov. 2, 1919, with
three services 10:30 a. m., 2::3O and
1880 p. m. All who are interested
In the moral and spiritual well-being
of our city are asked to cooperate.
This series of religious services will
be non-sectarian and all who love
the Lord Jesus Christ and His King
dom are welcome.
The campaign will be under the
direction of Rev. A. Lee Aldrich and
his party, consisting of himself and
five other persons, all specialists in
their respective lines of endeavor.
DR.. Aldrich is young minister, in
his early thirties, full Of life and
vigor, mentally alert, wonderfully
optimistic, delightfully."- sympathetic,
and entirely consecrated to the work
to which he has given his life. He
is regarded as one Of the ablest plat
form speakers and preachers in the
west and has been instrumental in
Gods hands of leading thousands of
souls to the feet of Christ-men and
women of various types Of character,
some highly intellectual and cul-
tured, others low down in the moral
scale. His personality is intensely
magnetic and he is genuine to the
core. Before he is with us many
days this community will prove the
truth Of our statements.
His helpers are as follows: Rev.
L. Moon, musical director; Miss
Esther J. Sheets, young women's or
ganizer and pianist; Miss Grace L.
Hedmark, organizer Of young folks
booster chorus" and secretary; Mrs.
Aldrich, assistant evangelist and wo-
mans worker; Edward L. Wilson,
tabernacle builder.
Mr.. Moon is said to be unequalled
in the west as a chorus leader and

himself is a fine singer. He once
labored with the Billy Sunday
evangelistic party. He will organ
ize choir of between 100 and 200
voices. The music will be marked
feature of the campaign and will
attract people for a radius of 10 or
IL miles, as in other places.
Nearly all the members Of the par
ty are musicians. They have a sax
ophone soloist, trumpet trio, party
quartet and vocal soloists.
The tabernacle is to be erected on
the Spooner lot, Atlantic ave., next
to the Weum-Belverud store, the site
of the former pavilion dance hall.
Work on its construction will COM
mence next Monday morning at 8
o'clock and will be 108 feet by so,
and capable of accommodating 1000.
people. It will be an up-to-date
structure and thoroughly equipped
with all necessary conveniences. The
party desires about 40 men, young
and old, students, etc., indeed, all or
any who can drive a nail or use
saw. It will be thoroughly lighted
heated to the point Of comfort and
spendidly ventilated.
All our surrounding towns-Han-
cock, Donnelly, Cyrus, Alberta,-are
expected to join the movement, which
is feature Of the age in religious
circles. People who never or rarely
go to church are drawn to the tab
ernacle and many Of them become
enthusiastic and thoroughly devoted
Christians and workers. And what
has taken place elsewhere will be the
order of events in Morris, when the
campaign gets into full swing. The
good wishes and good will of all
folks, in the city and surrounding
country, are solicited and let us all
pray that Gods richest benedictions
may rest abundantly upon our un-
tied effort in behalf Of a better city
city and countryside, morally and
and countryside, morally and spirit
ually.

1.-The world has come to a realiza-

for the State Journal. Farming from
now on is going to be a more popular
business than ever. Farm conditions
are improving rapidly. and the de-
mand for land is increasing steadily.
The southwest offers wonderful oppor-
tunities to investors, and there is a
lively movement of homeseekers in
this direction. Kansas and other
states in the southwest will find that
the year 1919 will bring them many
new settlers"
Mr.. FARRELL said that the homeseek-
ers bureau receives on an average of
1900 inquiries a day about farm op-
portunities. The inquiries are an
swered by a committee in the state,
the advantages of which the home
