ged father, who stands foursquare with the world-the love story of the young people who are simply boy and girl, innocent of indecency and igno- rant of that sort of cultivated taste which would like to know the inside of everything, just to see the slaughter house run red with immoral gore.
 We're sick of the eternal triangle, of the faithless husband and the jeal- ous wife, of the tough East Side gang and the police raid, and so forth. But we like to see the crowd flock to the house where Innocence is playing and where one instinctively feels that all around are people with clean and wholesome thoughts, and human hearts that need only little bet ter chance in life to show how fine a thing humanity would be if the field of innocence and truth was the only field they offered us to play in.

THE PARADE
Cluttered Premises

People who travel much about the country districts often remark on the shiftless way in which many farmers leave valuable machinery out in the rains, long after the farm work for the season is done. Some of them have Q perpetual clutter of decrepit wagons, machines and tools which stand out all winter.
 The appearance of town also is often badly injured by failure of house holders to rake leaves, and destroy litter or get 1t under cover and out of sight Winter is time when defects are net SC well concealed by foliage and shrubbery and disorder about the house is particularly conspicuous.
 Order is contagious. When one man combs and brushes his home place as if he enjoyed having it trim and smart, the whole neighborhood is stirred by the instinct of competition. The net result is to improve the value of real estate A neighboorhood of small but well-tended houses can in this way give an impression beyond the power of the mere dollars that were put into it.
 MdI1y peTSOHS are pCIsoheiiiy oSiuP- ulous about their clothes, yet will dis figure their home grounds by permit ting heaps of ashes, untidy chicken houses, rickety fences, heaps of tin cans, etc.
 Regarding the failure of farmers to keep their places cleaned up, few of them realize how it hurts their busi- ness standing. It is not merely the loss by decay of tools and machines left out to rust. It is also in the gen. eral impression given that a man does not look after details, and has no thor ough-going system for preserving his property and making the best of his resources. The man who fails to take in moving machine when he quits us ing it in the fall will be very likely to forget to pay interest on his note when it comes due. At least, that IS the way it looks to banker. Few people care to do business with man who gives this indication that his work runs at loose ends.

Come Across

If you don't pay four bills what are you?
 Do you think that your presence is greatly desired by the community :? Do you think that the people would be sorry to meet your administrator :?
 Some of you do not pay your bills because you can not. You are not such an obnoxious parsonage. Others of you prefer personal pleasure to that of beng square with the world. You are contemptible. Unless you are like the lady of color who could not pay her meal bill because she had had her picture taken. True, we meet you everywhere, you people who owe and intend to owe, and spend delight ful hours with you but nevertheless the subject of your indebtedness in- trudes upon our pleasure constantly.
 People who takes trips leaving be- hind them bills which they never ex- pect to pay; people who attend the theater at the expense of others are really 9 menace and should be guard ed against.
 Perhaps the future will work out some system of credit which the pres ent does not present.
 But in the meantime pay your bills and don't enjoy yourself at the oth- CT fellows expense.

Pictures-And Pictures

We dropped into picture theater the other evening and enjoyed thor oughly the pictures. Sitting snugly in corner watching well-known star who possesses the power to DOT tray youth, innocence and simplicity of conduct, we were struck with the people, and that no matter what the fact that our people are at heart good experiences of life may do or have done to us, we really love good things.
 True some picture heralded as an "unmasking of social sins" do draw crowd of morbidly curious people, but such pictures rarely survive a season. At base all men and women and children love purity. Down at the bottom of all hearts is something indestructible, which springs into life and happiness at the sight Of the screen of simple bit of rural scenery, the glimpse of kindly old face that has "mother" in it, the view of rug
