TIMES AND PEOPLE CHANGING

That people do not go TO church as
much as they used to is well known
fact, and probably there is no reason
for it, but combination of reasons,
chief among which is the fact that
times, customs and people are chang
inf all over the world, and nothing is
now as it used to be.
People do not read books and mag
azines as much as they used to, eth
err. They go to movie shows and go
riding in automobiles. Hundreds Of
thousands who used to go to church
and then read a book on a Sunday
are now Hitting all over the country
in autos. Probably the coming of the
automobile has taken more business
men and working men away from
Sunday church services than any
other source. People like to get out
into the country and away from the
city, and Sunday is about the only
day they have to do it.
Many who in their childhood were
taught to believe in the divinity of
Christ, literal heaven and a person
al God, a literal hell and personal
devil, no longer hesitate to say that
they do not believe in these dogmas
and creeds.
It is hard problem to solve, and
yet every man and woman ought to
try to solve it, for it means more to
every one of US than anything else
does.
Our idea is that we should all lend
our moral and financial support to
the church, because of the great good
it does to mankind f for no other
reason. We do not have to absorb all
of the dogmas of the various creeds if
we do not want to, but have our priv
ilege of accepting such as appeals to
us and getting what good we can out
of them, and casting aside from our
minds such of them as we do not want
to accept.
When we go into a restaurant we
do not eat everything on the menu.
We eat what we want and leave what
we do not want, and there is no rea-
son why we can't do so with church
dogmas. Following this smile up
further, it is a fact that on hte menu
there may be lot of food that we
do not want, but that some other peo-
pie would rather have than any other
kind so why not let them enjoy the
kind they like and we do the same?
We do not get up from the table and
leave the house just because there is
something served which we do not
relish-then why should we leave the
church for a similar reason?
1t takes all kinds of people to make
world, and all kinds of food to sat
isfy them, as many kinds of food, in
fact, as there are kinds of people.
And this applies also TO spiritual
food.
Whatever reasons for the people
drifting away from the church, they
should drift back again.-Stafford
Courier

based upon these costs, Mr.. Scott
said.
Mr.. Hummon briefly recounted the
good that has resulted from the reor-
ganization of the farm bureau in
Putnam county and summed up the
advantages of such an organization.
Following these talks, representa-
tives from the various townships in
Knox county gave one-minute talks on
the farm bureau, in which several
voiced the opinion that Knox county
farmers will not be behind the other
counties in Ohio with respect to the
strength Of the farm bureau.

FARM DuREaa'5
OYSTER SUPPER.
GREAT SUCCESS

II an suspicious beginning can be
taken as an indication of a happy con-
clusion, the Knox County Farm bu-
reau reorganization drive, which was
formally launched at the Church of
Christ Saturday evening, will wind up
before the end of the allotted two
weeks with more than the goal of 1000
farm bureau members in this county
as an actually.
Nearly 400 men and women from all
parts OF Knox county attended the
opening of the drive--an oyster sup
per at the Saturday evening,
and following an explanation of the
farm bureau purposes by various
speakers, q large number of the men
present signed membership cards be-
fore leaving the church.
The meeting was presided over by
George Hays of Harrison township,
member of the farm bureau. Talks
we're given by Charles Scott, men,
ber of the farm bureau Of Highland
county, and John Hummon, president
OF the Putnam county farm bureau.
A. F. Larimore, publicity manager of
the federation, also spoke briefly.
Mr.. Scott spoke in an humorous
vein, using his wit to drive home the
serious points he wished to make. He
described the lack of interest in the
farm bureau in Highland county and
its consequent lack of ability to ac-
complish things for the farmers from
the time of its formation on the "one-
dollar" basis until 1t was reorganized
on the ten-dollar basis early in this
year.
Although Highland county Is a
small county so far as population is
concerned and was the first county in
the state in which reorganization was

two weeks drive resulted in securing

to have an organization without pay

Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder y
 troubles you

No man or woman who eats meat
 regularly can make a mistake by
 flushing the kidneys occasionally,
 says a wel1-known authority. Meat
 forms uric acid which excites the
 kidneys, they become overworked
 from the strain. get sluggish, and fail
 to filter the waste and spoisons from
 the blood, then we get sick Nearly
 trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
 lessness. and urinary disorders come
 from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or
 if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any phar-
 macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a
 few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with Ithia, and has been used late the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink which every one, should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active ard the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.-Adv.

TERMS EXPLAINED BY
 BOND MANAGER
By HAROLD F. GREENE

Manager Bond Department, Quar- anty Trust Go. of New York.
 The financial community, like the sporting world, and every other group with common interests, rhaS buut8 up a. vocabulary of it's own to fit it's own purposes To an outsider many of these terms seem entirely new, or it not new are used in such sense as to be incon1prehensible; some people put
 down the financial pages Of a dally
 paper with a confused idea as to the meaning of various expressions and wonder what it is all about Most
 of these expressions are slang, ot
 course, but many of them have lasted a generation or more-some for cen
 turies-
 When new securities gre placed on
 the market, for instance, a syndicate
 is often formed to sell or under
 write" the issue. A syndicate may
 comprise from two or three to several
 hundred brokers, bankers, bona
 houses, banks and trust companies,
 though selling syndicate is likely to
 be much larger than an underwriting one. The former purchases the se- curities, stocks or bonds, from the 1s-
 suing corporation, and sells them to investors at a slightly higher price; it is 8. straight merchandising propo- sition, buying wholesale and selling retail An underwriting syndicate, on the contrary, is intended merely to guarantee a company against loss
 When a company offers stock or bonds to its own stockholders it, at the same time, has the offer Hnoerwr1tten by a syndicate, which, in return for a certain commission, guarantees to purchase at the named price all se- curities not taken by the stockholders. When securities are offered to stockholders the latter receive a trans ferabIe warrant or right emitting g them to subscribe on certain date for so many shares of stock at the price fixed. If the stockholder does | not care to exercise his right he may sell it to someone else for cash. These rights are often very valuable, en- 1 titling the holder to subscribe for stocks Or bonds at price far below l the market Any unusual privilege l of this kind, or the declaration of a particularly liberal dividend, is styled /. a melon.
 ! Dividends, of course, are disuibu- | tions of profit to the stockholders, 1 who are owners of the corporation. i Ordinarily they are payable in cash, | but directors may vote a stock divi- l dend"-in other words, to give the | holder of each share a certain amour, l of additional stock. More rarely we l hear of scrip dividends, which are 1 paid neither in cash nor stock but in l interest bearing scrip-which is really

 though perhaps not payable for sev- .eral weeks, goes to the holder of rec ord on the day set.
 In consequence, if other things are equal, on the day the stock sells ex- dividend or ex-rights it's price will
 drop about the value of the dividend fright. This would not be the case
 with bonds, since these are generally
 quoted land interest; in other words
 the purchaser of a bond at 96 must
 ordinarily pay 96 plus whatever inter-
 est has accrued since the last pay

 and adjustment issues, are quoted
 flat like stocks; in this case the
 price includes interest, and might be
 expected to fall immediately after
 that was paid.
 For deseribirg the movement of
 prices the Street uses certain conven- tiona1 terms which are almost self
 explanatory. A strong market is W

 "Par' is the nominal or face value ~inted on a stock or bond. In the case of a bond it is ordinarily the amount which the corporation prom ises to pay at maturity, but the par value of a stock, especially of com- mon stock, means almost nothing. A share of common stock is simply a certificate of proportional ownership in the corporation; it may be worth much less than par, or a great deal l more. On this account, many com panies have decided to eliminate the dollar sign, using certificates of no
 par value, which purport to be ex-
 actly what they are-simply evidences | of the ownership of so many shares | of the total.
 This article has endeavored to ex-
 plain the meaning of only very few l of the common financial terms; to
 cover the subject completely, finan- ] cia1 dictionaries of considerable size
 have been compiled. It~is hoped. how ' ever, that these paragraphs will be | of some use to those who may at I times have puzzled over some of the | expressions and terms in financial articles.

PARIS INTRODUCED 7 TO CAF7TERIAS

The first cafeteria ever seen in Paris was thrust on the innocent public last month when a new Y. W. c. A. opened in that city. French girls, frankly amused at the idea. acted as waitresses behind the coun- ter and caught on to the scheme with readiness. Four hundred visited the caferteria the first day and now there are over one thousand daily guests. The new Y. w. C. A. build ing is an outgrowth of the smaller foyers for French girls started by American secretaries during the war and has all the facilities for study. social times and work that the Amer ican Associations have. It is prov ing enormously popular among Paris girls.
