Community Church

Vacation time is upon us. The
period of ecclesiastical lassltude
has come. The higher the thermom-
eter, the lower the spiritual enthu-
siasm. One who plays the game dur
ing the next month or six weeks, is
to be commended for his interest.
How many are to come in for this
commendation? We hope there are
many. Let us keep up the pep in
our Sunday School and attend AT
least one religious service during
the day Then with the approach
OF autumn, we will be in splendid
position for all the activities of the
most active season in religious af.
fairs.

result of an operation for appendi-

derwent four weeks before her death
She was thought to be recovering
nicely from the operation until the
stitches were removed, when she
gradually became worse. She was a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert

CONVENIENCES FOR
RETURNED SOLDIER

The boy who has come back to
the farm from the army has had a
great experience. If he's been
over to France, he's come back
overhowlng with pride in the Amer
lcan way of doing things and par
tlcularly in American methods of
arming.
When he was billeted in small
French village with the restof shift
battalion he saw the crudest kind
OF farm implements used. He saw
the back-breaking toll that is ne
cessltated by the lack of modern
farm equipment. And for the first
time he realized what it has really
meant to the American farm, not
only in the matter of comfort and
leisure. but from the standpoint of
production and profit as we'll, to
have American farm machinery to
help with the work.
The army has taught him the
value OF living conveniences, too.
When he first went to camp in this
Coz ntry he missed home cooking
and lots of the old-fashioned com
forts he had always had. But he
found something new,--electric
lights and running water. Wher-
ever he went in camp,--his own
quarters, the Y. M. C. A., the
camp theater or the visitors house,
he found bright, clean electric light
burning, always ready for instant
use, on or off at the touch of a
button. When he got up in the
morning he found running water tc
wash In, hot and cold. He learned
how fine it feels to take cold
shower on turning out in the morn.

and health of the whole family he

OUR WEATHER EYE
The Decisive Moment

People who live in the country
and who depend upon Nature for
their life and prosperity soon learn
to respect and obey Natures laws;
for they know that these laws are
lneXorable and that no one can vio-
late them and escape the conse-
quences of his folly. Often, how
ever, it is not understood that
there are economic laws which are
likewise inexorable, to which we
are all subject, and which, if we
would succeed in life, we must
obey as carefully as we do those
of Nature.
Take, for example the law that
as production lags behind CON
sumption, all prices, whether of
goods or property, rise or the pur-
chasing power of money falls. "
This change has been going on dur
ing the past twenty-five years.
Year by year the value of money
has diminished; and this drop has
been more pronounced during the
war than ever before.
1t has meant a serious loss to
those who saved. For ten thou
sand dollars saved and put out at
interest twenty-five years ago have
become worth only about foul
thousand in actual buying power
now.
The turn has come apparently
and henceforth we may expect
prices to fall and the value ol
money to increase. The dollar
that is saved now, instead o.
shrinking, will become larger witt
each succeeding year. The savel
is sower; and he shall get bacl
not merely the seed that he sows
but big increase besides.
/ Our Weather Eye tells us tina
all one needs to do now is to saw,
some money and keep it, in orde
to see it more than double in value
that such situations do not aris,
as a rule more than twice in any
given century; that never before
IN all human history has one arisel
which offered the promise OF S,
great an increase in the value o
saved money as the one that exist
at present; that just now is tn,
psychological moment for saving
one seeks the greatest possible re
ward, for we are just at the cres
OF the wave of high prices whel
the purchasing power of money i

CHAUTAuQuA SEASON
CLOSED MONDAY
Each Program Well Rem
dered and Large Crowds
Were Present.

Extras five day Chautauqua was
brought to a close last Monday
eve with Ewing's Ladies Band
for its final and perhaps its most
successful number. The band was
assisted by Charles Taggart ''The
Man from Vermont" who did his
part splendidly and just as adj
vertised.
Sunday was perhaps the best
day, with DR.. Berry of Chicago in
his lecture Art Travel and Pa
triotism' in the afternoon and the
Barnabys 4 The Henrys in the
evening, as entertainers lii music
and readings, and in sand and
crayon work, respectively.
On Saturday Madam Ringsdorf,
assisted by a harpist and viollnlst
gave a very good program. Madam
Ringsdorf is a soloist and reader of
rare ability. Congressman Everett
Sanders of Indiana furnished the
evenings entertainment and these
/ two numbers made the third day
one of the better days of the
course. The second day was char
acterized by very instructive and
spectacular entertainment by
Harry Starnes with his elaborate
equipment of chemical and electrl-
cal apparatus. DR.. 0. ID. Mckee
yer, the sunshine orator, was the
choice OF many with his lecture or
Take the Sunny Sides of Life.
He was a fluent and ready speaker
and presented some gems OF
thought worthy of remembrance
A pageant "Modern Crusaders
was staged on Monday evening by
the Juniors with Miss Beulat
Connrardy at the piano, and was
perhaps enjoyed more than any
part of the weeks program.
Financially the Chautauqua was
a success, more than two hundred
dollars being ready to apply towarc
furthering the project for next
year. The weather was favorable
during the entire time and gooc
crowds were in attendance at every
session
We are pleased to know thai
Extra is assured of a Chautauqus
for next year. The fact that the
tent was always filled to capacit,
during this busy season Of th'
summer shows plainly the appre
citation of farmers and other bus,
