THE NICKEL NO GOOD

A little girl walked into a confec. tionery at Pendleton, placed a nickel on the counter and called for an ice cream cone.
 Ice cream cones are 2 cents, little girl" the fig clerk announced.
 "Well, then gimme soda pop"
 "Six cents."
 Got any root beer?"
 Yep, 6 cents, too"
 The little girl sighed disappointedly and started out, leaving her nickel on the counter.
 "Here, little girl, you're leaving your nickel" the clerk called to her. "Oh, that's all right" the child shouted back. "It's no good to melt won't buy anything"

EVEN, AFTER ALL

A suspicious looking customer was boasting to a grocer of the cheapness of ten pounds of sugar he had bought at a rival shop. .,
 Let me weigh the package" said the grocer.
 The other assented, and it was found two pounds short.
 The man looked perplexed for a moment and then said: 'I don't think he cheated me much, for while he was getting the sugar pocketed two tins of condensed milk"

Hutchinson, president Adrian Langford; vice. NJ. j.
Heinberg, treasurer and g H. Burks. secretary.
They have been largely instrumental in having the
city commissioners put on sale 100000 worth of
bonds for the election of municipal docks and belt

refused to issue the bonds but when the Kwans
Club eighty strong marched int othe city hall and
insisted the issue be fIoated the deed was DONE"

A FIGHTING EDITOR.

Secretary Daniels in recent issue OF the Edisor
and Publisher says that when editor Of daily
ne>ysnaner he never considered that he was making
unless at least -fifhs of his subscribers
"hated his paper like sin"
AS a newspaper editor. Secretary Daniels was as
fearless leader as he has been since assuming the
duties of official head of the naval forces OF Amer
; And it is this attribute with his discriminating
intelligence and splendid human qualities WHICH
have made him one of the greatest men OF the age
Mr.. Daniels started newspaper work as mere
lad and before he had reached the age OF twenty
one. was owner of a newspaper in Wilson, North
Carolina. His rise rapid and as editor u
the Raleigh News and Observer, which he now owns
he was one of the powers in his state, and an I'M
portant factor in national politics.
Mr. Daniels believes that the newspaper calling
is the greatest in the world and that the mission OF
an editor is a high one.
Of his own newspaper policy. he declares he al
ways tried to take a decided stand on every ques-
ton, and to fight fair. He made enemies, but MS
influence for good wide
He says:
You cannot run a newspaper successfully
without the paper having @ heart and SOUL
and that means that you must put your own
personality into it. You can't sit on the fence
you have to take sides / always tried to
get into every fight. l fought hard, but
fought fair. Unless two-fifths Of my readers
hate my paper like sin, feel that have
fallen down in making my paper interesting
The other three-fifths of your readers will
swear by the paper and work for it, while
the two-fifths that don't like it continue to
take it to see what mischief you are
up to and what you are saying about them
and their party.
The paper which lets its advertisers direct
its policy is doomed. They will admire YOU
more and be willing to patronize you if
you will tell them frankly and bluntly that
you are selling space and not influence
THE editorial page is the soul Of the
paper. and the editor must never forget his
responsibility to his readers, must he
violate their faith betray their conf
dence."

The amount of capital invested in farming is
large and constantly increasing In 1910 the value
of al farm property was approximately sitO0OOoo-
600. more than the capital of all the manufac-
turing establishments railways Mines and quarries
in the United States. The value of farm property
in 1910 is conservatvely estimated at more than
S5fO00,000. From 1860 to 1890 this value increased
steadily but during the decade beginning with 1871
the increase in the value of farm property was
greater than the entire accumulation of farm prop
crty in all the preceding years of our history.

days have achieved. recent writer
has said: 'It is the appointed keeper

lists in the south, both the radicals
and the conservatists have spoken
with reference to the Inter- Church
movement, while in the north it is
under discussion. The Baptists north
and south, will be better understood
as democracy is understood. 1t may
be well for our people who are not
informed to know to what degree
Southern Baptists have expressed
themselves on this subject. In our
state paper of Feb. 5th is a letter from
S. B. Rogers, secretary of state mis-
sion board in reply to a request to
the field secretary for Florida, for the
Inter- Church movement, which eX-
plains not only his attitude but the
attitude of the Baptists as expressed
in their consecrations. The letter
reads aS follows:
January %, 1920.
DIR. r. D. Dodge,
Jacksonville, Florida.
My Dear Brother:
have yours Of January %, and
would be glad TO accommodate you
or your church in any way l could,
but our people went on record at At
lanta, Ga, last May that we could
not consistently participate in the
Inter Church world movement.
Each state convention in the south
has since so recorded itself. Ours did
so at the recent session. January 16,
1920.
The trouble is we are already ac-
quainted with many facts with which
we are not in harmony. and in the
end against which we may be forced
to stand with all of our might, We
do not " sh to be drawn into any
controversy regarding it, but if we
are, we are coming with our whole
soul.
The right to live and worship God
according to the dictates of ones con-
science. the soul liberty of the human
race, the right of the small church
to live regardless of larger or stronger
ones, no matter what their creed, is
the slogan of Baptists. For this we
suffered for this we stand, and for
this we are ready to die. So long as
the sun shines and God let's us live
no set of men self-appointed. or ap-
pointed by any other set of men, shall
ever interfere with the rights OF men
to worship God according to the die
tates of their own conscience
This is our position and from it we
cannot swerve. / therefore cannot
lend myself or the records of my office
to the confusion of our people.
