Family Reunion

Among the most enjoyable affairs
of the season was family reunion
held at the home of Geo. L. Hamp.
ton last Sunday, when about forty
relatives gathered in to enjoy each
others company and incidentally
the feast of good things that was
spread for them. not because of.
but in spite of Mr.. H c, L.
Those present from a distance
were: Howard Bell, of St. Louis,
Geo Hardy and family, and John
Hardy and sister, Miss Anna, Of
Lakenan, Oscar Hardy aud family,
and Hillary Hardy, of Hannibal.
Mrs Mary Hardy, of Fenner, Calf.
Near home people were: Miss Lou

Women of the country, according
to big New York manufacturers of
women's garments are baking at
the present high prices and their
failure to buy lavishly is materially
effecting trade. Retailers are now
offering price concessions to induce
trade-and still their stocks are
moving but slowly. II prices are
coming down it is because women
themselves have refused to further
submit to high-price piracy. you
can't legislate prices down. as some
people seem to imagine. 1t you
want to see 'em fall quit buying
things that are priced out of all
reason as to cost of production. The

third party whose name is Public"
who has a very deep interest in the

decrease in production and threat
ened famine of coal The owners Of
the coal mines and their employees
have been notably careless in their
attitude towards the Government,
and the public. Nevertheless their
quarrel has served a good purpose
in that wage disputes are being dis

The Public which holds the bag, lis
interested in having the coal miners
receive a decent wage On the
other hand if the operators profits
are excessive. and if these men are
guilty of the things charged against
them, there will be no popular in

In effect there is a new light
breaking on the industrial world,
and it is palmer every day that the
law of force" whether operated by
the employers or the employees will
not be supported by the public. The
Public has made it plain that it is
not going to be stampeded by a
multiplying number of strikes and
lockouts. The handwriting on the

everybody to lay off reciting the
story of victories which they put
across and to get back into harness

The Home Paper.

The local weekly or daily papers de-
serve better support than they receive
in many communities. Some have not
succeeded because Of the policy or
lack of policy of their management
but our experience convinces US that
the great majority Of the papers de-
serve hearty support. The metropoli-
tan daily will bring to ones doorstep
the news of the world seen through
the spectacles Of the city editor but
it is the editor who lives in the heart
of the community who is able to re-
fleet the sentiment Of the local group:
He alone is the true interpreter OF
events as they affect the small town
and the country Immediately sur
rounding it. He alone is able to put tel1
throb of real feeling into the oblt-
uaries of. the men and women among

whom he has spent his life and with
whom he has worked for the improve
mcnt and advancement of the old
home town. These local papers de-
serve better than they generally get.
During the war they have had hard
sledding-many Of thenl-and now
they have a perfect right to come to
the citizens OF Their locality asking
rea. business support. Give it to them.
If the local paper has the proper kind
of encouragement it can do more for
the welfare of the town and the coun-
tryside than any other factor. Sup
port means more than merely sub
scribing. Send in the news. Patron
ize the advertising columns. Pretty
soon YOU will find yourself becoming
more interested in the community
than you ever were before and you
will find that it is a good place to stay

cation for reinstatement and the ten
der of two months premiums on the
amount of insurance he wishes to re-
instate.
In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has lapSed or
been Cancelled, a fair chance to rein
state their insurance, including men
who have been out of the service
eighteen months or more, and who
are therefore barred from reinstate-
ment under the former ruling, spec
ial blanket ruling is made which al
lows all ex-service men to reinstate
their insurance before December 81,
1919, provided that each applicant is
in as good health as at date OF dis
charge or at expiration of grace pc
riod, whichever is the later date, and
so states in his application. Of course
it is necessary that he tender the two
months premiums on the amount OF
insurance he wishes to reinstate.
Service men who reinstated their
insurance by payment Of all back
premiums prior to July rs, 1919,
when the decision requiring payment
of only two months premiums went
into effect, upon written application
to the bureau may have any pre-
miums paid in excess of two applied
toward the payment of future pre-
miums. For example, if after policy
had lapsed for six months, a man re-
instated and paid six months pre-
miums instead of two, he may secure
credit for four months premiums.
The provision for reinstatement do
not protect a man until he actually
reinstates. If he waits he may be in
as good health as he was at the time
of discharge and consequently may
not be able to secure reinstatement.
Don't put off reinstatement. Do ii
now!

as is attendant to adjournment.

ing to the convention.
