Tribute to Farmer

Mr.. Harding has frequently paid
tribute to the American farmer.
The following is taken from his
speech delivered at the Minnesota
state fair last September:
"The splendid part played by the
farmers of the nation during the
war probably never will be under
stood or fully appreciated by our
people. More than twenty-five per
cent Of all our fighting men came
from the farms, and after sending
their sons to the camps, the fathers
and mothers, with the help of the
younger children, turned to and
produced more food than was ever
before produced in the history of
the world in the same time and
from the same area of land. Their
working days were measured not by
the clock, but by the number of
daylight hours. They took to them
selves the responsibility of feeding
not only our own people but also
our allies across the sea.

Football Caused IL Deaths

Football caused 13 deaths in the
United States during the 1920 sea-
son, this number being seven times
greater than in 1919 and three
times greater than two years ago.
Eight of the youths killed this
year were high school players who
may have entered the game with
out sufficient physical training.
Two of the dead were members of
college varsity aggregations, and
two others were on college class
teams.

Be Cheerful Don't Worry

Be Cheerful and learn not to
worry.
| The mind and body work to-
gether. The MIND HAS A
STRONG EFFECT ON THE
BODY. A fit Of anger, or a spell of
worry, OF envy, hate or jealousy
may make you more tired than
hard days work, Try to drive away
thoughts that make you unhappy
by thoughts that make you happy.
Say to yourself and worry, Forget
/ it," 1t is hard to do sometimes but
you can learn, just as you learned
! to read and write.
1 Do not make hard work of being
healthy. Ii you worry about it
you will not be healthy. Lay down
certain rules and follow them the
best you can until you get used to
doing them.
Do not hurry if you can help it.
Start to your work a little earlier in
the morning and take your time.
You will not be tired when you get
there and you will work better.
Take your time going home at
night. You will enjoy your supper
more and sleep better. Then you
will do better work the next day
and be happier in your work. We
all want many things, but we must
not want them so hard that it will
strain our minds and bodies to get
them. Take your life and your
work cheerfully. When you learn
to do this you will be happier and
you will get more of the things you
want. Almost any one can do this
lif he makes up his mind to do it.

Congratulations, Mr..
Harding. Here's to You

Congratulations, Mr.. Harding.
The heat of the campaign has sub
sided, the smoke has cleared away.
But it is not too late to congratu-
late you upon the sweeping victory
and to tell you what we expect of
you. You were the least talked of
possibility for the nomination last
June. You were the dark horse.
Your campaign was not vigorously
waged. 1t lacked color. There
was little excitement But your
part was conducted with becoming
dignity Your front porch became
a popular mecca for friends and
followers. Your party gained in
strength as the campaign progress
ed.
Then came the election. Your
party had it's own way. The as
founding victory was not so much a
desire, perhaps, to get party into
power as it was a desire to get a
party out Of power. That night
you humbly remarked that you did
not rejoice over the victory yerson-
ally, because it was not a personal
victory. You were right. You said
you felt most like invoking Divine
guidance. That was your best
public lutheran e.
You have few or no enemies
! You have been a good editor and
senator. You are known as plain
common sense American citizen.
Splendid equipment Americans
can expect nothing more.
You will have much advice on
how to perform your task. BE
your own adviser. Be yourself. Be
just MIR. Harding. Listen to some
advice, accept some, reject much
but never surrender your individ-
uality. The people elected you
and your party. Therefore you and
your advisers are our servants.
But forget psrty as much as you
can. Don't be independent, but be
an Independent. Don't frown up
on a man Of ability and integrity
because he is Democrat. Don t
consider him faultless because he is
Republican. Have other than
party reasons for removing office
holders. There are political debts.
They exist only in ones mind.

Minister Runs Chicago Cafe

Patrons of the Greenwood cafe
terra, Chicago, have been wonder
ing how the proprietor could serve
sweetbreads and chicken, candied
sweet potatoes and coffee with real
cream for 40 cents and make the
place go. The explanation was
discovered when it became known
that the new proprietor is the Rev.
Emil Burk, who said it is possible
to be sincere minister and good
business man at the same time.
The Rev. Mr.. Burk has refused
to accept a salary from his congre-
CATION. He is seeking to prove
that he can live independently of
the church and give his services
free to the flock.

NOAH'S ARK IN MOVIES.
Nearly Two City Blocks Long and Three
Stories High.

The Noah's Ark set, to be built by the
Historical Film Corporation for "The De
LUCE spectacle in The Pageant of the
Bible, will be the largest single structure
ever built for motion pictures. The di-
mansions of the Ark as set forth in the
Bible We're 300 cubits long "a cubit was
about 90 inches), SO eubits wide and 80
cnbits high. Reduced to feet, these di-
mansions would equal 500xS3x50, and the
Ark had three stories or decks.
If the director did not have to shoot
the Ark inside, outside, in the water on
dry land and in all its moods and lenses,
he could set up miniature and make it
4 do, hut it happens that he must show
marching into the Ark the biggest me-
lmgerie ever assembled since Noah's time,
and miniature won't fiji the bill
Ask anybody how many of each kind
Of creatures went into the Ark with Noah
and the answer will be Gone pair Of each "
Not so. The seventh chapter of Genesis
second verse, says:
''Of every clean beast thou shalt take
to thee by sevens, the male and his fe
male and of beast that are not clean, by
two. the male and his female"
"Clean beasts" were those that part
the hoof and chew the cud according to
the widely differing lists in Leviticus ant
Deuteronomy and "unclean" was the
classification given all others, but the
cle7n beasts were in the majority.
The procession of the animals will b'
one of the most impressive scenes in Thu
Pageant OF the Bible, and there are go
ing to be some surprises in Tx.

of stereopticon lecture in the Centre

by Miss Florence H. Wells, which was
decidedly interesting and appealing and
was well attended. The lecture empha
sized the need of more physicians and

and this need was brought out wildly
by the pictures and text. Several views
of special interest were of DR. Harriet f.
Parker of Madura, South India, for
merly of East Putney, and the new hos
pital which has been built for her as
superintendent. Before the lecture the
pupils of Miss Lucy Walbridge's Sunday
