sore spots, dump heaps and undesira- ble citizens.
 Let us be patient with the undesir- ables and work along with them, hand in hand, until some sweet day, by and by, we may have a good op- portunity to give them a swift jolt on the proper anatomical location and either make them see right-or mur- der them
 There is nothing so provoking as the citizen who is finding fault with our town, it's business men and the way it Is managed We feel like saying to such, eff we felt the way you do about Carlisle we would just move out and try some other place. ;"
 Some people want our town to be larger. If they want larger town, why in the name of common sense don't they go to larger one,
 The thing to do is to make the best of what we have here Decorate what we have with shrub and move the dirt out. Old sheds are eyesores, and there ought to be some way to condemn them. Why don't you tear down that old shed op your lot and in it's place plant tree, or a garden, or a flower bed?

THE PARADE
Grab It-Hold It.

A great many of our readers know Dick, only that is not his real name. He IS a bright-eyed youngster who plays hard every day.
 A few days age we watched hila and his playmates having a game of base ball. The score at the time we stop ped to look is an unimportant detail. Dicks eyes were never off of the rap- idly moving sphere. Suddenly hard and fast fly was batted to his field. Out in this field was a great puddle of muddy water, left by a recent rain, and the ball went straight for that puddle. And Dick went straight for the ball. Perhaps he saw the puddle at least he knew it was there-but his eyes were on the ball. As the ball shot for the ground Dick leaped into the air, caught the ball, and-spIashl he went fiat in the dirty hole But the hand that had nailed the fly never touched the ground. He waded out, covered with mud and soaked to the hide, two facts of which he seemed unaware, because he had caught .he fy-and had held it.
 Some boys would have started for IiiC boIl anu Stoppcu dt tHe cQSe O1 the puddle. Some others wOuii have lost it when they fell. Dick held on.
 That particular ball game soon will be forgotten affair, or at the pest only memory. But we can picture Dick when he gets into the real game of life, as being classed among the star players: He will not look for the little unpleasant things but will hurl himself at the ball and hold on for dear life. He may fall in the mud-he may even have to be fished out-but when he comes to the top, in his hand you will see the ball.
 One great affiiction of so many of srsHS Rti(y2S coin eton etoinate us is the tendency to first look for the puddle instead of the ball. And by the time they have figured out every little chance against a success ful catch, the ball is gone.
 When the ball of life is batted into your field, grab it.
 Don't tumble it-hold it.

Production of oil is one of the great fuel requirements of the world today. But fake oil stocks have lit the fires under hundreds of thou sands of bank accounts. Nathan Adams, vice-president of one of the largest banks of Dallas, Texas, in touch with every ramifcation of the great Texas oil industry, estimates that out of every S100 invested in oil stocks, S95 is lost.
 Oil stocks and mining stocks are probably the most risky of all in- vestments, but 1t is a safe rule to in vest in no company that sends trav- cling agents up and down the coun- try in search of buyers for its stock. Really high-class investments are not sold this way.
 Companies whose stock and bonds are publicly advertised by long es- tablished and well-known financial institutions put themselves on record in black and white as to their assets, liabilities, and prospe cts. Conse- quently they may be held aeeounta- ble for their statements. Stocks ing salesmen, on the other hand, get most of their buyers on the strength of wild and eXtravagant oral prom ises which are never put in writing and really would be worth nothing if they were put in black and white by irresponsible. agents who are here to- day and gone tomorrow.
 Invest first of all in machinery, livestock, paint, fencing, buildings and home eonveniences for your own farm. Then invest your surplus only in reliable industrital stocks and bonds-never in any sort of oil stocks or mining stock, nor in any kind of stock peddled about over the country by wandering agents.

NEWSPAPERMAN BEST SLEUTH

The American Newspaperman is the best detective there is. He daily proves 1t, and he sometimes admits 1t. Now there's Michael Collins, the strong-arm man of Sim Fein, Mick" as every Irish republican calls him. For more than two years agents. of the British government have been looking for this acknowl- edged leader of the Irish army, which, though not definitely mobi- lized, is burning police barracks and shooting British officials from be- hind hedges. Every policeman and officer in Ireland carries Collins pho tograph and description and has or ders to arrest him at sight on the charge of directing assassinations. Then can't get near him. Yet over to Dublin goes Carl Alderman, cor respondent for an enterprising Phil adelphia newspaper, and secures a two-hour interview with this Nvefy genuine celebrity. It sounds like an authoritative interview, too, one con- taining statements of policy which Lloyd Georges government might like to get hold of Alderman, of course, started with some advantages which the agents of Scotland Yard don't have. He was personally , known to some of "Mick's" friends as chap who could be trusted. That's always the newspaperman's greatest asset when he's on a difficult and dangerous iob.-Lowell, Mass, Cour- Citizen.

If our people ever can get high prices for their cotton again, they will probably be less willing to let all kinds of slick-tongued promoters take their surplus money from them.

Times Have Changed

The style of campaign oratory is changing. When most of us were young, the typical campaign ad- dress was a ''rousement". Fiery tanners of wind were sent out from headquarters, whose duty it was to enthuse .sthe boys" Few members of the opposite party ever attended such meetings. Such opponents as were present were too fixed in their convictions to be converted All that could be done was to impress the faithful with the imminent peril in which the republic stood, in case the vile and degenerate opposition can didate and his disgraced and discred- ited party should win the succeeding election. The political funny man had an assorted collection of stories and anecdotes, largely handed down from previous generations. Yet, when pronounced with emphatic unc- tion and forceful gesture, they sound ed good, even if musty. These stock anecdotes could be applied equally well by the orators of either party They convinced no one.
 The shrewdest speakers are the oiicS WHO give que NelglC 10 the ar guments of the other side. It often is good policy to admit that your op- ponent is an honest man and a good citizen, and that the opposing party may have good ideas, if they only knew how to work them out. Start ing from such basis, the sagacious speaker gains the confidence of his audience by the appearance of fair ness. Then he is in a position to go on and show where the ideas of the opposition are mistaken.
 Even the rustiest of rusty "Reu- benso can spot a gold brick today Also he can recognize political bunk.
 The very first essential in a politi- cal speech is to give the audience the impression that you are fair and op- en-minded, and speaker who cannot do that had better keep still while the band plays tune.

OUR FUNDAMENTAL INDUSTRY


Reports from the field show that
the farm bureau movement continues
to spread nightly. The farmers are
joining by the thousands all over the
land.
The more we hear of this movement
the more we are convinced that it is
going to do great things in and for
this nation, The trouble has been
that in our cities and in high pieces
there has been a woeful lack of un-
derstanding about the country's fun
damental neutrality-suspicious. Men
have been unduly attracted to the
big profits and high wages in manu-
featuring and in serving the big and
crowded communities that manufac-
turing has built up.
When fortunes could be made in a
day, little interest could be worked
up in business that required a
combination of intelligence, industry
and patience-the business of pro-
ducing food. Men forgot that it was
basic and that, being basic, it should
be fostered for their sake as well as
its own. 1t naturally followed that
the city workman and also the finan-
cier and merchant, felt that city work
city business, city wages, city profits
were the really important things in
this country. They are not.
Men everywhere will have to come
to the realization that food produc-

The British officers were prisoners. They had been members of the AL lied railway organization in Siberia under John F. Stevens, the American engineer, and had been captured by the reds at the same time as Colonel Blunt and his party of American en- gineers at Novo-Nikolacvsk, Siberia, in November, 1919. The Americans had been released and left Russia through Vladivostok, but the British officers were sent to Moscow.
