THE WAY QU1NTER SEES 1T

In a game of base ball at WaKee-
ney Tuesday afternoon, WaKeeney
got the big end Of the score in an
eleven-inning game but the team
which represented WaKeeney accord
ing to our boys was made up of five
players from other places hired for
the occasion and four of their own
home players so the defeat isn't SO
bad after all. Our team was its regu-
lar lineup of home boys. During the
very last inning we are told the UNI
pire accused pitcher Rhine of throw
ing eight balls and none of them go
ing over the plate which walked two
players. Of course this is just talk
but it was from all accounts a very
close game.-Quinter Advocate.

GODS NAME

Gods name is to be held in honor
always. The Third Commandment
says; Chou shalt not take the name
of the Lord thy God in vain, for the
Lord will not hold him guiltless that
taketh his name in VAIN, In spite
OF this commandment, many thought
1essly and habitually take the name
OF God in vain. Profanity is not only
wicked and direct violation of Gods
commandments given at Sinai: it is
course and low Tt is a sin which in
1tsen is absolutely senseless; it has
not justification and is devoid of all
elements of manIiness- It is an indi-
cation of coarseness in the nature. a
lack Of thought, moral weakness and
vulgar1ty of which one who seeks to
be gentleman1y should be ashamed.
The name of God should be held IN
honor always, and should only be
used devoutly, revently and wor-
shipfu1ly.-Selected

A CHANGE FOR THE FARMERS

The little town of Edgerton, Mime
sofa, with a population of only 700
has sent a challenge to America
Already -Edgerton has contributed
three cars of corn to the Near East
relief and it mounts the pedestal with
the invitation to 100 other towns of
its size in the United States to equal
its record.
Edgerton was the first town in the
United States to ship a car of corn
to the relief of the suffering men,
women and children in Russian eau
casus,~ Armenia and the Bible lands.
1t is the invariable rule that the
cities and small towns take the initia-
tive in charitable work of this kind
but so far nothing has been done in
WaKeeney for this cause. Right here
Is chance for the farmers. Their
farmer organizations should take
hold of this work in Trego county and
should push this work of relief. They
| are capable of handling it-and it is
their brother farmers in the east
who are the most in need of aid Ii
has been a mighty long time since
any thing of this kind has been
handled by the farmers of this county
