generated, out of an understanding of the prob
lens of each, will develop that harmony of eff
tort and service which will destroy prejudice and
create good will.
The happiness Of city and country is init
mately related. If the farmer cannot prosper,
neither can the man in the city.
Agriculture is the basic industry of the
United States One of the important stabilizing
influences of this year is the bumper crop which
the farmer will harvest. The city man some
times overlooks this vast reservoir of wealth, be-
cause his outlook is clouded by the smoke of his
factories and his appreciation is detracted by the
din and hustle of his business centers.
And conversely, the prosperity of the farmer,
the possibility of laborsaving machinery, the in
stalation of devices that bring comfort and con-
veniences to his home, and the financing of his
enterprises, are attributable to the genius of the
inventor, the skill of the mechanic and the finan-
cial direction of the business man and banker.
The Young Mems Business Club has been
given an excellent opportunity to cooperate with
the farmers in promoting the welfare Of the
whole county. It's members have shown COM
n1endable dispatch and judgment in boosting the
movement to establish center conforming with
the needs of the farmers and dedicated to the
promotion of an estimable enterprise. Let them
go ahead with the vim and fervor of youth to-
ward the realization Of the first tangible enter
prise that has been presented for their consid-

we have our moments of deep de-
preston when we feel that we should

and try to write something that will

days. We don't suppose there was
ever written a better exposition Of this

high-brow literature, and plenty of
style We CROPPED into every phase of
the subject and held it up to the pitt.

Then We started it on its rounds. It
went to every magazine in this coun.

they would like to use it but feared 1t
was too deep for their readers. John

was so good it would make all his

we packed The Immutability of the

laid it away in the cedar chest.
Then, for revenge, we sat down and

The Young Mems Business Club and the
Farmers

The Young Mems Business Club has lost no
time in getting behind movement to enable the
breeders of pure live stock in Wayne county to
obtain facilities for the holding of shows and
sales.
Few of us know that Wayne county has
thousands of pure bred swine, sheep, CATTLE
horses and poultry. There are 100 herds OF pure
bred swine alone in this county this year. and the
promise is held forth that this will be increased
to 200 before next year.
The number of high bred horses, sheep and
cattle also makes respectable showing from the
standpoint of excellence in live stock.
The Wayne County Breeders association,
which is in the process of formation, believes
that Wayne county can be made one of the most
pretentious localities in Indiana for the breeding
Of high grade animals.
It's rank as the home of pure bred swine in
Indiana is an enviable one. Farmers are thor
oughly welded to the program of raising pure
blooded swine and are rapidly beginning to see
the commercial advantages of excellence in other
stock.
If central location for the exhibition of
blooded stock is provided the breeders will be
greatly encouraged in their efforts. The enthu-
sastic and prompt response of the Young Mems
Business Club in reply to an overture of the
breeders proves that it's members see the init
mate relation that exists between the business
interests of the farmer and those of the urban
dweller.
President Davis of the Farmers Federation,
speaking before committee that is formulating
plans for Chamber Of Commerce, rightly said
the other evening that misunderstanding exists
between the farmer and the city business man
because neither understands the viewpoint of the
other.
The baneful prejudice can be dispelled quickly
if the farmer and urban dweller have an oppor-
tunity to meet on common ground to carry for
ward common cause.
The establishment of a center where the
farmer may show the fine products of his bust
hess will bring together closely city and country.
Out of the relations that are established,
out of the friendly spirit of cooperation thus

Keep the Stores Open on Armistice Day
Grafton.

Sentiment generally favors keeping the
stores open on Armistice Day. Men who have
taken an active part so far in the promotion of
the city-wide celebration adduce some good argu-
ments for their contention.
They assert that the weather may be cold
Mothers with their children will assemble on
Main street long before the parade gets under
way. If they have no warm rooms whose shell
ter they may enjoy, the little ones will suffer.
Should the weather be stormy, the stores will
give the crowds opportunity to find shelter.
Some of the leaders of the Central Labor
Council say the merchants always have been fair
in permitting their clerks to view parade, SO
that these workers will not be denied the priv
lege Of seeing the procession.
The merchants of Richmond have been ex-
ceedingly generous in the last year with the
closing of their places of business. Sometimes
we forget that when merchant closes his store
for day half day, many of his expenses
continue. There is no curtailnent of his over
head expenses. He loses the revenue which nor
lnally he would have received.
We believe that Armistice Day can be cele-
brated in fine style and without interfering with
its success if the stores are kept open.

OUTLETS.


was in a barber shop the other day,
and as l sat in the chair I heard a
rather alarming noise from the place
where they put the towels to sterilize.
But in a minute something blew off,
and the noise stopped.
l asked the barber what that was,
and he said it was the safety valve
an outlet for excess steam.
The rest of the time in my chair, I
sat thinking about how wonderful it
was that there were outlets to take
care Of so many things.
l sometimes think that much of the
trouble of the world is caused because
there are so few people taking adj
vantage of outlets that are right
within their reach.
Nature very wisely gave to us all
much more energy than we ordinarily
need. The idea Of surplus forms an
important part in the life of anything.
There must always be a reserve of
some sort. But at times even this re-
serve becomes an evil. The man with
too little money worries himself over
how to keep within it, and the man
with too much money worries himself
over caring for it.
So that outlets are both fundamental
as a useful force and very necessary.
But every outlet should be a healthy
and a natural one. People cry when
overweight and nervous-and it's a
good thing.
The sound of happy voices. changed
scenes and laughter are the finest out
lets for grief and loneliness.
To keep the mind clean and the body
fresh, there is nothing to compare with
the "Out-of- Doors" where God walks
around, looking over what He has
created and arranged.
If there is something very strongly
wrong about you, study yourself. What
YOU need Is to locate a few outlets.

prices weakened again owing to reports of increased spot offerings in the south and unfavorable trade advances. After having previously rejected the proposal spinners using American cotton in Man. chester have now voted to curtail their production 50 per cent by working only three days per week, and recent rallies in the Liverpool market have not been maintained, although prices there are said to be far below shipping parity with southern markets.
 Some improvement has been reported in the volume of goods business at sec ond hands, and local traders understand that retail business has been slightly larger owing to cut price sales through out the country. As yet, however, thts does not appear to have reached the manufacturer, and sales of print cloths
 in the Fall River market for the week were estimated at only 5000 pieces. Some mills which had closed down for part of particularly southern mills, whose opera lives have accepted a reduction in wages, but curtailment is expected to continue heavy until business actually improves, and there has probably been some sell
 ing this week on expectations of a very poor domestic consumption showing for November and a full estimate of the crop from the government on December 13. A report issued by one of the local authorities estimated the yield at l2,-
