FARMERS?

We were talking with our County
Agent the other day, and he was re-
GREETING the TACT that there is so
much corn, oats and hay being ship
ped into Il towns and hauled from
them to the farms Of our county. He
remarked that our farmers almost
fall over themselves to get these pro-
ducts Of the farm.
We disagree with him. Not a sin
gle FARMER, according to our way
Of thinking, has been in the mad
rush to the stores for hay and grain.
1t is absurd to think it.. There might
be-there may have been during the
past year some FARMERS who, by
reason Of some misfortune, failed TO
make their corn and oats and hay.
No FARMER habltually or continu-
ously does such a thing. The man
who does such a thing habitually is
no FARMER-he's a BOTCH. pure
and simple. We would hesitate to
say that he is Il real man. Sam Jones
would have set him down as a
"thing-a-ma-bob," and while we
lever could agree with all Sam said
while he was living, we would be
forced to say to him in this instance,
Sam, you spoke a mouthful."
Don't, if you live on a farm, waste
time hauling corn, oats and hay out
from town. Raise corn, oats and hay
and bring these products into town
and sell them. If you let the Western
farmer raise these things, sell them
to the Western grain and hay mcrCh-
ants, who in turn sell them to Il
merchants, who pay freight OH them
from the West to the Southland
then buy them cheaper than you can

What Is the remedy? We have
tried to supply a part of 1T in the
excellent program that has been put
on by placing before the minds Of
every one higher ideals Of citizen
ship; but II that has failed, then
lust-~but by no means least-we
have laws for our protection, Why
not enforce them? BY the way, where
were all the policemen Monday night
when, out on Main street, in The
moonlight, in plain view of any one
who would look, those unruly Dung
3ters-wc hope they were Just UNI
thoughted boys - ore throwing
rather private articles under the tent
at young couples inside, who might
have wished to hear the music, but
who, instead, had to be lodging arti-
clos not designed for the perform
ance? If they had been on the job,
SOME Of these things could not have
happened.
Now, Mr.. Mayor-and Councilmen
AND CITIZENS-lt Is time for us
to put a stop to this form Of bolshev-
ism in our midst before we are pre-
pared to advise with others in meet
ing the larger problems that loom
before us to-day. We have called at

These arc some features Of the
proposition that Is up for considera-
ton that 1t will be we'll to think over
and about. We do not say that this
Is tho scheme" at the bottom Of the
agitation. 1t Is. however, the inevi-
table result. Under normal condi-
tons we would endorse most heartily
the bond propositions; under exist
ing conditions it seems to us to be
the very height Of folly.
We made the mistake Of not see
ing far enough ahead in the matter
OF our school, and we are going to
have to correct the mistake by doing
now, under unauSpiciOuS conditions,
what we ought to have done in the
beginning. Let us not now make the
mistake OF doing Il big thing under
the same u~nauSpciOuS conditions so
that we may have the pleasure of
later considering our folly and salv-
ing our hurts with The thought that
those following us in the years to
come can also bear some Of the sting
and the smart.
Let's figure carefully on the cost;
let's think Il bit before we rush head
long into a community orgy Of fool
ish expenditure, such us too many Of
us are individually engaging in to-
day.

Why issue bonds now to get the

few years ago. and probably SO to
60 err cent Of what it will be able
TO get within the next two years? Is
1t wise to go into this sort Of thing
lat this time? Aside from the none

EVISM IN OUR MIDST.

BY the above headline W. do not
mean to convey the idea that our
government is about to be over
thrown and a reign Of anarchy to
begin. That, as we understand 1t, is
only one form of b~.)lshevism. There
are numerous ways in which the
malady attacks the body polite, but
through every Of them we find
one common underlying principle,
and that is A DISREGARD FOR THE
RIGHTS OF OTHERS. 1t IS to some
few Of these things that we would
address ourselves. Some one may
ask why we take it Upon ourselves
to make these remarks, and we re-
ply with the words of that admira-
bic lecturer. Mr.. Bennett, because
they ought to be made" and we will
add-AND NEEDED.
For the last several months 1t has
been apparent that the young boys
Of Il town have entirely lost sight
Of the rights Of others, and have
added nothing to their W posses
sions by the noise and commotion
which they persist in making at our
pubic gatherings. We have heard
some Of Il citizens say that they
Gid o care to go to our entertain

unconscionable hoodlums. 1t is the
right and privilege Of every citizen

qua concert was no exception. One Of

gram was absolutely demolished by

Is IT GOOD BUSINESS ?

Many men differ on what cOnsti-
tutcs good b~usiness-hOw far il is
safe to plunge when prices are at
peak, or nearly SO. Our opinion Is
that the safe plan in private. corpo-
rate and municipal affairs, under
existing conditions, is to steer clear
Of II extensive improvements that
are not absolutely essential. II is
our firm belief in the wisdom OF this
policy that impels us to favor the
icvying OF extra taxes to secure the
necessary funds with which to keep
abreast or the times and forge ahead
IN matters pertaining to the educa-
ton OF our young people and the pro-
Viding Of educational facilities. This
cause presents what to us seems an
absolute, unquestioned necessity. We
cannot afford to stop and count the
actual cost, for. cost what it may,
the expenditure will never equal Il
losses hat I inevitable if we fail
to meet the situation and rise to the
occasion fully, literally, promptly.
Nevertheless, we are opposed to
1hc issuing OF bOnuS for water and
sewerage for Walhalla at this time,
and for several reasons.
We would not be so foolish as to
make claim that we do not need these
modern c~OnvenienceS in our town.
We do need them. and We need them
badly. No one in this community
would be more delighted to see them
IN u town than the editor of The
Courier. The question is, is it wise
at IL moment, and under existing
conditions, to pay the price?

day from two great evils-under-

parts Of delicate and costly machin-

machine by these-shall we say boil
shevists?-could not be blamed If he
lost ONE Of the ecstacy with which
his sou had been filled by the sweet
harmony to which he had been lis
tening.
Is this destruction Of private pro-
perty good citizenship? Is thai the
form Of democracy our boys fought
to make safe? II is. we think It
had been better had they not fought.
1t Is a shame to our town that our
citizens cannot safely leave their
property standing on the streets Of
Walhalla in this year Of grace and
to make safe? II 1t is, we think 1t
disgrace that our friends from other
towns and surrounding communities
cannot come here without running
the risk of becoming victims Of our
lawlessness. Can this be stopped?
We think 1t can.
