AL0CAL CHURCH

Last night at the Christian church
while the rehabilitation services Of
the churchs service flag was in pro
gress the car Of r. ., Hill was stol-
en- from the parking near the church.
It was a Buick light six.
The car had been driven there by
Ramey Hill who had arrived little
late and who, because OF the crowd
could not obtain seat in the church.
After standing in the door for few
minutes, he returned to get the ear
and arrived at the curb in time to
see two persons, whom he thought
to be boys, driving the car away.
His first thought WAS that his young.
er brother was the driver but when
he went to the Baptist church he
found his brother and learned that
lie had not been out in the car.
A vigorous search was startedelast
night by the county and city Off
GERS, but IN to this morning no trace
Of the car had been found.

FROM THE KICKING BOOT TO
 THE HELPING HAND.

1t is only a little while ago that newspapers and most business offices were filled with complaints of gov ernment interference with business; how the Sherman antitrust law worked gross injustices, and how it seemed to be the main aim of legis- lators everywhere to hamper business as much as possible, by a multipli- city of irritating and deterring laws. Many of the complaints were justi- fled, many others were not. Out of the irritation came much improve ment in methods and the abolition of much business unfairness. However it was true that government seemed to be devoting it's kicking boot to the business corpus.
 The war upset about everything. It is almost literally true that the whole world is upset. That is not an unmitigated evil, for there were many practices, business and other wise, which needed to be upset. One of them was this question of govern ment's duty toward it's business men. There has been complete reversal, for now government extends the helping hand, and what is more, liberal one. Big business proved it's necessity and worth; it will not be hampered any more; it will be regulated to prevent abuses, but it will be helped, not hindered.
 Almost out of a clear sky, and en- tirely unexpected, came the an nouncement from Washington, yester- day, that the War Finance Corpora tion will offer at once, through the Federal Reserve Banks and it's mem Der banks $200,000,OO0 5 per cent bonds, partially tax free and run ming for one year, of course one of the best investments available for in stitutions and individuals who want short term bonds.
 Why did they come out before the Victory Loan, and what is the War Finance Corporation going to do with the money? It is not so directly stated, but the proceeds are to be used in the main, to help American exporters, now that American credits abroad have reached the point of ex- haustion. Never before did this gov ernment come to the financial help of it's business men, and here it is-the first installment of that one billion dollars which Congress provided fo1 the purpose.
 How much nicer it is to encounter the helping hand than to dodge the kicking boot!

CY's SPRING SONG.

They's somethin' in the atmosphere, An in the sighin' breeze. A callin' to the grasses
 An the buds upon the trees, A talkin' to the warters
 An the wild ducks ez they fly, An a sayin' to us mortals
 Thet the springs a drawin' nigh. The grass blades air a startin'
 On the meader an the lea, An all the buds is swellin'
 On the sugar-maple tree The meader-lark is singin'
 An the frogs pipin' high, All a tellin to us .mortals
 Thet springs drawin' mighty nigh Jest today I found some bluets
 An a wind-fower by the brook, An fragile blood-root blossom
 In sheltered little nook, An I heerd a robin-red-breast
 Callin' out his song of cheer Jest to tell us human critters
 Thet Spring is shorely here. Edna c. Jones.
