Mr.. Emerson spreads here and to

springs from Mr.. Creeps heart. 1t
has nothing at all to do with his
head. Temperamentally he is an ad-

lars investigating waste of public
funds, and day or so later the At

THE M0NUNI0N TR0WEL

Of candidate for parliament in
England who, addressing gathering
of workmen asked their support be
cause he also had been horny

he waved a trowel and hammer in
the air, declaring he still treasured
the tools that had brought him his

Brother workmen - he concluded,
"can | rely on your support ?"
"You can that answered one of
the audience who had examined the
tools. "a chap what can lay bricks

That is exactly the kind of appeal
that fake stock statesmen are making
to working men all over the United
States. They claim TO be able to find

mines with a prospectus. II takes an

NEED A BETTER UNDERSTAND

We are not happy, says Frank A.
Nanderlip, one of the foremost fin
anceers of the United States. Then
he proceeded to tell his auditors at
the University Club of Brooklyn why
and how to outline a remedy. Here

"a period of high wages and good
employment. We are living in the
richest country in the world and still
we are not happy. First we have

be produced and only through new

After this address, Mr.. Vanderlip
declared in an informal talk that
economies and the principles of
thrift and saving should be taught in
the secondary schools. "The men of

SHIPS THAT COME IN

Some men prepare for the years to
come by "waiting for their ship to
come in," unmindful of the fact that
the only ship that they have sent out
is one manned by lmprovidence and
captained by Neglect, to be blown
about by every wind of Circumstance
and held back by every tide of
Chance.
The up-to- date send out stout
steamships whose return they can
await with some assurance.
Such steamships are manned by
Careful Preparation, captained by
Unceasing Vigil, and provisioned and
conled by the Steady Saving and
Sound Investment that makes every
wind n favorable one and every tide

Such ships come in, and when the
investment is in such sound chand-
lery as Government Savings Secmi-
ties they come in on time.

THRIFT ADVICE FOR lHD!sas

When young person, or an old
one for that matter, once realizes the
growing power of dollar, that per-
son never again despises small and
regular savings, says the Indian
Leader, published at Haskell Insti-
tute, Lawrence, Kansas. The great
trouble with the most of us is that
we do not realize this early enough in
life and let the years slip by, hoping
to do some big thing and neglecting
TO do the small one which would alb
solutely insure us success.
Referring to lessons in thrift in
our Indian schools, Commissioner
Cato Sells recently said:
"rhe sale of thrift stamps is con
cretely the best approach to the
principles of economy and prudent
management that should shape the
habits of daily life and | urge Won to
rive special encouragement to these
small savings so well adapted to In
dian conditions among the children
and adults of limited means. In the
months and years Immediately ahead
when the American people must con-
tend with the post war dangers of
a financial crises that may be world
wide, the duty presses upon our field
service to teach the Indians by com
sci and example the basic value of
industry and economy. If we can
give them the broad and true mean
ing of THRIFT as II rule Of practical
and comfortable living, we shall have
accomplished in this alone the best
part of their education.

The lsrnelitcs urged Samuel to pray
to God for them. Instead of trusting
to the ark for deliverance they now
looked to God. Samuel accompanied
his intercession with burnt Offering.

AN EXECUTIVE DUTY

A Democratic editor wants to
know why Congress does not prose-
cute the proiiteers. Like most demo
cratic editors he has evidently over
looked the constitution, which pro-
vides that congress shall enact laws
and the executive department, head
ed by the President, shall enforce
them. We pay an attorney general
and his army of assistants to prose-
cute violators of the law.

In our last lesson we saw Isrnel's
overwhelming defeat and the capture
of the ark by the Phillstines. While
they triumphed over Israel they did
not triumph over Israel's God.
Through the presence of the ark God
was working among the PhilIstlnes.
Note:
!. The ark at Ashdod (5:1-6). 1t was
placed In the heather temple alongside
OF Dagon, with the expectation that
the ark would be destroyed. showing
that Dagon was mlghtier than God,
but Dagon was humillated and broken.
Besides this the people were afflicted
with emerOds, or hemorrhoids, show
ing the hand Of the living God upon
them In judgment.
2. The ark at Gath (5:7.9). Here
Immediately the same dreadful dis
ease broke out that had afflicted the
Ashdodites. accompanied with great
mortality. They then carried the ark
to Ekron.
3. The nrk nt Ekron t5:10-12). At
Ekron the destruction wns still more
awful. Many were slain md the rest
were smltten with emerods so that
their cry went up to heaven. The
contest was decislvcly In favor of God.
Upon the advice OF the lords OF the
Philistines tho ark was returned to
Israel. This was done In such way
us to show concluslvcly that the hand
of God was upon them In judgment.
l. Samuel Calls Israel to Repentance
G:2-D.
Some twenty years have now elapsed
since Israel was humlllated by the
Philistines, during which time Israel
"lnmented after the Lord" We know
not why Samuel has not been heard
from through all these years. Doubt.
less he continued to exercise the
prophetic Office during this time. but
now he is appointed to the office OF
Judge, also. He asked the people to
turn to the Lord with all their hearts.

ness under the gulse OF religion.

The assembly Of Israel at MIZpeh
alarmed the Phlllstlnes. They inter

to attack them. so they thought TO
frustrate Israel's attack upon them by

"THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER. :"

We may be pardoned from copying
from a letter recently received by
the editor from a friend in another
state who reads The Herald and
News. Seldom do people find time to
write word of commendation of
what you do or say. Generally when
it is something that they don't like
is the time that you hear from them.
This friend writes:
81 read it (The Herald and News)
regularly and enjoy it immensely.
"Your editorial on The Country
Newspaper is splendid one, right
from the shoulder, and col dfacts. OF
all vocations that necessitate and re-
ouire int lliocnce, and brain matter,
it is that of the country newspaper
editor. In my estimation for the
labor, and service rendered and re-
ouired to produce newspaper the
returns should be triple, and unlinlit-
ed support from all the folks"
That is nice and we appreciate it
because we know the writer means
what he says. The country editor as
a rule is not mercenary person and
rarely becomes rich, but he does ap-
preciate the cooperation and commen-
dation and sympathy of the people for
whom he spends his life.

The Baptists of the Abbeville Bap-
tist church had supper the other
night to celebrate the paying off of
the last note of indebtedness on the
handsome church edifce which they
have erected in that good town. That
was right and proper, and we mention
it to call attention to statement
made by Editor Greene in the Able
vile Press and Banner in making note
of the event. He says the Baptist
brethren invited a few prominent
members of the other town churches,
but restricted the invitations to those
who were out of debt themselves, and
then Editor Green adds, eve were
invited" Possibly if he were not
also very successful lawyer as well
as a fine editor he would have been
unable to add that statement, and
would therefore have been debarred
from the supper. We are glad Editor
Greene was elegible to an admission
to the supper.
This editor can remember when
the Baptist church at Abbeville was
very weak in number and wealth, and
there was very small church build
ing there, and at that time the con-
gregation was served by the Rev. Mr..
Pratt very fine gentleman and
good preacher. We are glad to learn
that the church has grown so much in
the years that have passed since those
days.

float along with the stream and take
the side of least resistance, but we
would feel that we were utterly in
competent to edit even weekly coun-
try newspaper if we simply slushed
over people and things. That is not
our idea of helping the community.
We try always to be polite and
courteous and never to offend. But
a newspaper that is always slushing
and soldering and toadying and
hoping to gain friends by this sort of
writing is not worthy the place among
honest and sincere journalists.
For thirty years and more we have
edited paper in this town, and we
have always advocated those things
that were for the betterment and
meant for the progress of the COM
munity, the town and county and
State, and sometimes we stood almost
alone, but thanks to gracious provi-
dence we have been spared TO see
many of them come to pass, and we
are going to keep on advocating what
we believe is for the uplift of the
community, and to help the schools
and other. good things so long as we
are able to write and print. Some
people may call it hot air, but a GER
tain amount of hot air is necessary
sometimes to arouse the public con-
science.
What we need here now is for
every one to pull together for the up
lift of the community and the fellow
who is not willing to do it should be
crushed by the juggernaut of pro-
gress. Put aside your selfshness and
give your brother who is struggling to
do something helping hand.
