THE PASSING OF HAND LABOR

Modern business, or ralher the man. ufacturing business, has long realized that volume of business and profit de- pend to a great extent upon saving la- bor wherever possible, and particularly upon replacing hand labor with ma chine labor where a machine can per- form the work better and more quick ly.
 The same change is placing farming upon 9 better business basis. For years. of course, field work has been done largely by machinery. Otherwise Americas tremendous agricultural production would have been impossi- ble. And now this same increase in operating efficiency is spreading to doing of the lesser work on the farm. Chores have always been a burden. They have faced the farmer or his boy twice day, once before and once af- ter the regular days work. They have meant grinding drudgery. And their worst feature has been that they had to be done almost exclusively by hand.
 With the coming of electricity to the farm through the medium of the farm electric light and power plant, this condition has been greatly changed. Thousands of farms in America are today entirely free of the tiresome part of chore work. Be- foredawn in the morning there is plen- ty of bright electric light in the barns while the milking is going on. And the milking itself is done not by hand, slowly and laboriously as before, but by small electric motor. One man can easily do the work that took three before. The separating and churning are done in the same way And so with the grindstone, the corn sheller, the flaming mill and other light farm machinery. Where two men worked before, one of them always turning the crank. now one man feeds the machine-bosses the job-and the electric motor does the work. And pumping, one of the biggest jobs on the farm, is now done by an electric pump that is entirely automatic.
 In the house the same labor saving Is seen, only in this case it is the farm women who benefit. Wash day IS now thing of electric machines and irons instead of the old fashioned way of bending over tub all day. Sweeping is done better and quicker with electricity
 This is surely the age of efficiency. Hand labor is passing in the country as it has in the city.

enabled to buy what you have to sell at a good price right off the bat The South has already too long paid tri- bute to other sections of the country in way of patronizing foreign con- cerns. But things are looking better. The Home Merchants are at your ser vice with the best merchandise that you can buy, and at fair price. They are your friends. They contribute to the growth of the town and county. They help the schools and donate to every worthy cause to the extent of their financial ability. How much have the foreign concerns contributed to this county or city? How many bouquets have they sent to your loved one who was sick or extended sympa- thy when the angel of death invaded your home? There is nothing like a friend, especially when you are in trouble. We could not live without our friends. The home merchant is your friend. Show your gratitude by letting him have your patronage. He is not asking your trade on the basis of charity; he asks your patronage on the basis of MERIT and SERVICE.

"AS A MAN THINKETH"

"As man thinketh in his heart so is he," is a scriptural truth that has never been successfully refuted. If mans thoughts are evil, if he enter tains in his soul and mind those things that are calculated to deteriorate the brain, cloud the intellect and debauch the best moral forces that tend to ele- vate and ennoble, sooner or later he will become a moral derelict, if not confirmed outcast. On the other hand if he will read good books, keep his mind free from the thoughts of the cess-pools of sin and degredation, cultivate at all times hopeful dispo- sition, look for the rainbow at the ap- proach of every cloud of disappoint- ment, he will soon be able to extricate himself from the impure influences that will render him helpless in the crisis and enable his will, that dyna- mic power that wins from becoming inactive.
 As in the moral realm so in the business realm. At this time there appears on the financial horizon some signs of misgivings and uncertainties. It is going to require the wisdom and clear thinking of the people to avert 9 reversal. There is no reason for alarm. People are prone to worry most over things that never happen and generate friction without cause.
 As man thinketh in his heart, so is he," must be applied with equal force in the business conditions. If you imagine that you are going to lose, you have already lost. If you think your town is not what it should be, perhaps the fault is with YOU. If business is not as good as you think it be strive to make it better. If you you have anything good to offer your customers in way of close prices, hand them out. If you can be of service to your patrons, MT. Merchant, in giving wise advice, now is the time to show your appreciation of trade that has been given you and render every as- sistance to your customers that you can. And MT. Customer, if you have been sending out of town for mer- chndise that you could purchase at home, stop it. If you have been "try- ing out" the mail order houses, you should learn that you are contributing just that much in hastening the slack ness of business you so much desire to avert. When business slows down the producer, along with all others, will feel the pinch. If business in youl
 town is booming, the merchants ar

HAUNTED BY A ROOSTER
Trick Makes Four Outlaws Confess
 Chicken Theft

New York.-The ghost of rooster long since eaten has come back to haunt four outlaws who encompassed his untimely death, and today the quartette languished in jail here awaiting sentence for confessed chicken theft.
 The chicken bndits swaggered in to court yesterday comfortable in the belief that all the 35 fowls they were accused of stealing had disap- peared permanently from the realm of evidence. They planned to plead mot guilty"
 Then one of the four espied fine feathered fowl at the feet of Assist ant Prosecutor Richardson. He nudged his fellows, who gazed for a moment with startling eyes.
 Guilty" said the four in unison.
 Boy, take this stuffed rooster back to the taxidermist from whom I borrowed it," said the prosecutor.

THE PARADE
The Eternal Masculine

l In speaking and writing of the l great events and achievements of the past we seem to remember only the male contingent of the human family. We boast of the "blood of our fathers" but only on certain days, such as
 Mothers Day, do we have anything to say of the sacrifices of our mothers. Our histories tell of the noble deeds and of the wonderful country our fathers developed, but do not mention to any extent, the fact that those brave and hardy fathers were born of mothers and had wives to share their trials.
 Young Jones goes forth from college after his parents (mother as well as father) have worked and denied them selves of luxuries and many of the comforts of life, to keep him there, and enters life's grim battle. He boasts of his fathers reputation, his grandfather's thrift and so on, but does not realize that one-half of his noble blood came from a mother As the Christmas season approaches our children get busy and write Santa | Claus a bunch of letters, making known their needs and desires. Do we think the old man Santa does all that work byhimself? Isn't it probable that Mrs. Claus does her bit as we'll Then why not consider her too? There are those who condemn a woman for following her career in- stead of settling down as the wife of respectable storekeeper or mechanic. And there is more condemnation for the woman who marries and still seeks fame under her maiden name Is it any wonder they do it? Almost any girl with a spark of ambition would rather carve her own way and win the applause and admiration of an appre- ciable public, than to become MT. Smiths wife.
 It is high time we drop this anti quated bunk about the "lords of crea- tion," and realize that our wives, and sisters and mothers are citizens, not chattels. Surely the Great War has taught us few things about our women.
 Some of our magnificent males seem to think that cooking and home keeping are not nearly so essential as ditch-digging; that the stenographer is less deserving of notice than the section hand.
 We believe that when God decided it is not good for man to be alone," that he gave him companion and partner in the shape of woman. So, when we sing the praises of our an- cestors let's think of the Hand where our mothers died" too.

High Cost of Loafing

There is much discussion about the and the general turmoil. We do not claim to be students of economics nor statesmen, but we believe we know the reason for lot of the existing trou- ble.
 We are loafng too much. We spend too much time in the pursit of pleas ure. We don't work enough. It isn't politics. It isn't non-support of the churches. It isn't because we have taken booze away from the working man. They tell us this condition has arisen before in the history of the world. Away back wonder in Baby lon the folks got the idea that it was more fun to play than to work. You all know what happened The lazy fever hit the Greeks and Romans some time after that and their great gov ernments went to pot. They have had an outbreak of the same disease in Mexico and Mexico has been steadily drifting on the rocks for years.
 It is leisure more than labor, that men and women are striking for. It is play they want. not work Our generation ceaselessly craves recre- ation, not toll. Long ago we learned as children that Satan finds some work for idle hands to do," and there is one boy that is never off the job. Our forefathers looked upon work as a blessing. The youth of today consid- CTS it curse. Go into any factory, mill or store and look around You find the laborers clamoring for shorter hours.
 It is always hurry to get away from the shop, to get off in the automobile, to stack the supper dishes and get to the movies. Everywhere we shirk the job to have more time to play. We can get by with it for awhile, but there is bound to come a day of set clement. If we do not produce then we cannot eat. It isn't matter of politics. It is a matter of shiftless- ness.
 The man who works and saves has always been the man who gets ahead The man who shirks and spends has always been the fellow who becomes the object of charity. Think it over, |
 then put on the brakes. Stick to your job and cut your extravaganza. If you do you will have meal ticket when your friend lands in the bread line that is going to be mighty long one of these fine days.

meanness in human Nature.

Last week we wrote little para graph about an anonymous letter writer. We said we were going to send marked copy to the sneak who had written it. We did. But we did not send the other five copies received by by five other men. If it wasn't so pitiful it would be funny. We have no desire to participate in battle royal with five against one. But we had no idea anonymous letter writing was so common in the community. We did not know there was so much meanness in human nature.
