why the Community Club?

1t Is often remarked that we excel
above all former generations in our
genius for organization. Each asso-
citation, has its special purpose, and, for
the sake of effectiveness, limits Its ac-
tivity to thet realization Of the idea
which 1t emphasizes. OF societies that
promote the welfare of our city, per-
haps the outstanding ones are the
club. the Rotarians, the
Kiwanis club and the Public Welfare
society, each experimenting but not
overlapping the others sphere OF ac-
ton. ss
The founders Of, the Community
club feel that there Is still left vacant
a fruitful field for organised activity.
Its purpose is to cultivate the neglect
ed Outskirts and corners. SO to speak
to improve the acquaintanceship OF
the people among each other. In our
city and enyirons. to overcome ten
cord. to give thought to the welfare
Of friendly -neighbors, to constitute q
clearing house for all ordinary and
extraordinary problems of individuals
not properly schOoled to- society, and
and to develop intelligent opinion on
mooted questions. The central idea
is to arouse a new enthusiasm. fol-

it thinks its interests r served by
doing So. What Is rue of people is
true of plants, sweet clover not ex-
copied.
What we would like to emphasize
now is that the farmer who is con-
WINGED that sweet clover is an unde-
sirable citizen; study. the plant with
his mind open to conviction.
Strange as it may seem there are
many who shake their heads when
sweet clover is mentioned as a Gull
tured crop. Strange, in view of the
fact, that it has been grown for q
number Of years by many, and that
favorable reports have gone out re-
garding 1T; much of this evidence
comes from near by. perhaps a next
door neighbor.
Sweet clover is not a gamble. The
farmer may rest assured of the fol-
lowing regarding the plant!
1t will establish itself readily, being
q 'sure CATCH"
1t will grow on sandy, gravely, dry,
wet, clay, alkali, and loan soils. II
will grow in faction more kinds of soil
than any other known forage plant.
1t will wear III the 'alkali and thus
prepare the land for less alkali resist
ant crops.
1t will inoculate the soil for alfalfa,
1t is a vigorous grower, producing
%pasturage or hay than other
grass forage plants.
It is not difficult to eradicate as
some claim.
It will not lodge readily or as badly
as red closer.
1t will not winter kill SO much as
clover and alfalfa.
It will enrich the soil.
1t yields a large amount OF seed
which is sure to be a profitable item

Such a score has never before been
made in the N. r. A. Gallery match
es nor is. there any record. sc far. as
w Ire aware, OF any such score being
made anywhere under similar condi-
tons by ten shooters OF alhsteam at

entire 200 shots shows them to have
been 80 placed that q fiye-cent piece
would completely cover the entire
hole.
In n of its previous matches in
this same competition the Q%uinnipiac
team scored I998x2OOO, nine OF the
ten men making perfect scores, one

first Sunday in June and continue
tor some two weeks. DR.. h. c. Routn
editor of The Baptist Standard, will
do the preaching, and Mr.. Theodore
II. Farr will lead the singing. We
are going to make the music a spec
ial feature of the meeting, and urge
upon all who can sing TO come and
help in the choir. We are also ar
ranging for some musicians to help
with the music II all our plans ma
terialize, as we think they will, the
music will be the greatest we have
ever had in Snyder. Mr. Farr is
not only a great leader. but also
great soloist. You will greatly ap-
preciate him.
The services will be conducted at
the City Tabernacle where everything
will be pleasant. The weather may
be little warm, but no one will suf-
fer at the tabernacle. The heat
never bothers there.
We want all the singers OF the
other choirs to join our choir dur
ing the meeting and help in great
way with the singing. And we shall
be glad to have all the Christian
people of all creeds to take part in
the services and help us make this
great meeting. We have never needed
a revival meeting more than we need
1t now, and there was never a great
er opportunity than now. Let us all
realize the responsibility that now
rests upon us and "Acquit ourselves
like men" The forces of evil are
abroad in the land, but we can sue

give ourselves to the task.

The Bankers Program
(Star-Telegram)

The conference of bankers which
has been in session in Washington
has made the following recommenda-
tions as necessary measures to meet
the prese i credit crisis
"That the banks reduce their to-
tai loans by 10 per cent, or more than
that. If a greater expansion is nee
.essary for the Fall movement OF crops
In contracting loans the banks are
urged to discriminate carefully be-
tween those for essential and nom
essential purposes, preference being.
given food production.
THAT the Federal Government de-
fer until after the crop movement
all expenditures except those abso-
lutely necessary. II is urged urther
that borrowings be reduced to min
imum.
THAT States, counties and cities
defer proposed issuance of bonds,
thus avoiding competition for credit.
Public improvements, it is suggested,
should be postponed in order to help
the labor and material markets.
THAT individuals increase their
savings deposits in the banks and
spend as little as possible. limiting
their purchases to neeessaries."
There is nothing in these recon-
mendations to make anybody feel
alarmed. Rather is 1t good sign
that the banks aretaking the ini-
tiative in promoting orderly defla-
ton. The business of the country
is in no danger from the following
of such a program. On the contrary
il would reach the dangerous stage
ultimately II some such program
we're not inaugurated. There was no
note of pessimism evidenced by them
but there is every season for conf
dence, provided the proper measures
are adopted to begin checking the
progressive initiation which has been.
going on since the armistime. IL
the program outlined is followed
generally until the Fall, we shall find
ourselves in much better shape than
we would be otherwise and we ought
TO be we'll on the way toward normal
conditions. so far as credit is con-
cerned.

CHARGE
AGAINST WILSON

The Bailey people al Abilene had
a meeting last Saturday to put their
machinery to work. Their leaders
indulged in the usual line OF criti-
clsm OF the Democratic administra-
ton and urged organization
The Reporter says:
Morris r. Locke speaking on the
need OF organization said that the
country at this { ime faced PROPOSE
tion that is more pregnant than any
that presented itself during the cam
paign OF 1850. Deploring the enor-
nous national debt incurred during
the present administration the speak
er said that Wilson was elected
through the influence OF Wall street
and that a greater calamity than that
OF 1860 was now staring us in the
face"
II Is strange that an intelligent
man will try to work up wave o.
prejudice against the administration
because a big public debt was in
CURED TO carry on such a war as
his nation won. People all know
that millions OF men had to be mo-
bilizod. transported, clothed, fed and
equipped for war They know that
the country's slogan was, win the
war at any cost. lest Germany brings
her victorious armies here TO crush
us"
The people know that all prepara-
tions had to be made in a short time
and that il would take hundreds OF
millions of dollars to do II. No
body but Socialists and Bolsheviks
opposed il. until they came to want
office They were all patriotic
Americans until they decided to de-
stroy the we'll earned glory OF the
Democratic party. The people know
these things and will not follow off
after any lot OF politicians whose
purpose Is to undo the work that
has been done for humanity.
Mr.. Locke's charge that Wilson
was elected through the influence
OF Wall street. Is too decidedly un-
founded to be thought OF. Locke's
fellow critics will hardly endorse the
such statement in the fact OF the
fact that one OF the first laws pass
cd was the establishment OF the reg
icnal banks by which the power OF
Wall street to control the money Of
the country was broken. Every
body knows that Wall street opposed
that law and that Il stands out as
one Of the many great achievements
of the administration and takes the
clutching hand OF money king aloose
from the throats OF the common peo-
pie.

PEACE IS RESTOR-
Ed IN OLD MEXICO

Complete pacificatlon OF all fac
tions in Mexico has beenaccomplished
and the country is now free from in
ternal strife which has kept the re-
public in a turmoil for the last seven
years, according 10 a message receiv-
cd today by the United Press from
General Alvaro Obregon. head OF the
present revolutionary movement in
Mexico.
Mexico today finds herself in a
state of actual internal peace for
the first time in seven years" Obre-
CONS message said. Consolidation of
all revolutionary groups which has
initiated by the state of Sonora, has
resulted in a consummation of ef-
forts to set up a new government in
the republic OF Mexico We are to-
day in telegraphic and railroad com
munication with all parts OF the coun
try. Every train is moving without
armed escorts, something that has
been unknown in Mexico for the last
seven years"
