WHAT is AMERICA?

of work or play or thought.
We hear a lot about Rationalism
these days; rationalism which is the
superior thought of superior men who
have outgrown the foolishness of SIM
pie men who trust and believe; ration
alism which is the hard sanity to those
who evolve the laws of life out Of
their own minds. But, friends, if this
is Gods world, do you really believe
that you can live in it more happily
and successfully by following the in
tellectual dictates of wise men than
by living in harmony with the laws of
the God who has ordained the world?
In these days, when all the world is
talking so earnestly about disarma-
ment, we must not forget the underly-
ing meaning of real disarmament. It
means something more than the limit
alton of navies, the destruction of
guns, the abolition of implements of
war We must have, as it's real found
alton, a spiritual disarmament, if
such an awkward phrase can be used.
We must get rid of the immoralities
upon which war is based-the hatreds
between man and man, the distrust,
the selfshness, the intolerance, the
prejudices which breed strife. No
man has the right to pose as the fri
end of peace who has not conquered
within himself the things which tend
to isolate him from his neighbor.
Peace is a positive thing. It does not
mean that mere freedom from strife.
1t means the possession of the spirit
of brotherhood, love and faith which
lifts men into the kingdom of unselfsh
service.

The broken-hearted world is crying:
"Give me back my home" There will
be no rest until we have done this.
Let us strive to make America again
the Land of Homes, where men and
women and children are happy togeth-
er for their own sake, for the sake OF
Life and its greatness, and for the sake
of Gods love.
Perhaps in nothing have we fallen
so short of the Fathers as in our sp1r1-
tual aspirations. The men who made
America believed in God. They walk
ed and talked with God, and they look
ed upon the common activities of ev-
cry day as performed against the back
ground Of an Eternal purpose and
meaning. Today do we have the ferv-
or Of mighty faith? Is an uplifting
reverence the atmosphere of modern
life? I fear not. We must get back
to the simplicity of conquering faith
which made our Fathers conscious OF
the presence of God in human affairs.
The increase in crime continues,
especially with reference to the petty
crimes performed by the young.
What is the trouble? Do we need
more laws? What we really need is
! renewal of the old time moral in
fuence of the American home; a re-
newal of the moral sensibilities; re-
turn to the old simplicity that under
stood the necessity of harmony be-
tween man and the law of God. We
need Religion of the true kind, the Re-
ligion that is not an element of life,
but Life itself; the Religion that is
present in all human activities whether

How to Cure
Unemployment.

Writing in the American Legion
Weekly on Seeking the Cure for I'm
employment" James j. Davis, secre-
tary of labor, sums up the cure in a
single paragraph, as follows,
ssWage earners can help by giving
up unreasonable demands, so that en-
ployers can afford to start their mills
again, or so that buildings can be built
houses, schools, factories, stores,
Merchants can help by giving up I'M
reasonable profits, so that more people
can afford to buy clothing, furniture,
food and general supplies. The land
lord can help by lowering unreasona-
BILE rents, so that workmen can afford
to accept a wage that shall become a
living wage as rents are lowered"

STOVE FIRST MADE IN 1855
But Dr.. Neil Arnott, an EngIishman,
Had the Germ Of the Idea in the
Year 1921.

Stoves are comparatively recent
invention. True, stoves of some sort
were used by the ancients and even
by the savage tribes which preceded
their civilization, but the first real
modern Improvement in the produc-
ton and agency of heat" as he called
it, was made by DR.. Neil Arnott and
announced to q marveling England
Nov. 4, 1921, the Detroit News states.
How much stoves were in need of
modernization in those days in proven
by the fact that when the German,
DIR. c. William Siemes, in 1850, des-
cribed his first 'Smokeless" stoves,
not only the scientific world but all
properly conducted households greeted
him as great inventor.
The next steps forward were made
by T.. Pridgin Teale in 1866 and from
that day dates the stove as we know it
now. "a
But prior to Teae's inventions the
world was made acquainted by the
American, Hamilton, in 1874, with a
system Of compressed grass, straw and
other materials in such a manner that
they could be burnt without produc-
ing masses of suffocating smoke Ham,
iltOn's invention was dedicated to
localities where wood was scarce. It
never had much vogue, but presumably
was deeply appreciated by the people
whom he had in mind in deyiSinp his
patent.

that after their younger days mos
men read little. That was probably
true then, and is probably much truel
now, so far as reading standard auth
ors is concerned. The rush of cur
rent literature, especially Of periodic
ais and newspapers that must be daily
scanned, crowds out the classics and
the immortals, and we are lucky in
deed if we can say that we read them
| in the past and not that we merely
meant to read them. The wise strug-
gle to get a few moments from the
pressure of today to give to the indy
ing truth Of yesterday.
DR.. johnson said also that he sup
posed there were few people who were
as familiar with the backs of books as
he was. The remark may seem trifl-
ing, or even satirical. It is not. The
acquaintance with the backs of books
is precious. It means that we know
where knowledge is to be found when
we are in dire need of it, that we are
familiar with the classification and
system that will lead us at once to the
sources of wisdom without long strug
gle and confusion and laundering.
Moreover, familiarity with the backs
of books usually means reverence for
them, and reverence for books is
vastly commendable thing. It seems
to be fading from the world, and much
good goes with it. To be sure, the
fading is natural. We have far too
many books. The greatest lover Of
them cannot deny it, in fact is the first
- ID srh
crushed, smothered, with books. In
calculable folly and tediousness are
daily getting gravity, if not perman-
ence, from print, and there seems to
be no means Of checking the flood, or
even of diminishing it.
Yet, after all, if books contain the
pitiable folly Of the world, they also
contain all it's wisdom that has not
persisted and they are worthy of all
honor on that account The Turks
will not tread upon a scrap of waste
paper, lest it should have the name of
God upon it. It would be well to teach
our children to respect book, since
the spirit of God may be within. Keep
them orderly. In the house Of one
who loves books they stand neatly
ranged upon their shelves, not in and
out and upside down, and tattered and
bedraggled as if they were waiting for
the junkman to carry them away.
Touch your books, handle them. Know
the outside Of them. Knowing the
outside leads to knowing the inside.
A large, wise spirit longs to know the
faces Of many people and the backs Of
many books.

You talk of your breed of cattle, and
plan for higher strain; you double
the food of the pasture, you heap up
the measure of grain. You draw on
the wits Of the nation to better a
breed of hen, but what are you doing,

men? You boast Of your Morgans and
Holsteins, of the worth of calf or a
colt, and scott at the scrub and the

Favored by Nature.

Sacramento has the distinction Of
being the worlds greatest distrib-
uting center for deciduous fruit, and
has the largest almond plant and the
greatest fruit and vegetable cannery
On the Pacific slope. The pear or
chards of the Sacrameto delta pro-
duce the greatest crops in the world,
the fruit being first to reach the mar
kets each year. The delta district,
which often is compared with the
famed valley of the Nile, also yields
thousands of tons of asparagus each
year, as well as great quantities of
other vegetables, while it Is known
throughout the nation for the variety
and quality of its vegetable seeds.
Lands bordering the streams of the
valley produce most of the nations
hops. The eastern edge is prolific in
the production of grapes and straw
berries, while the recently developed
rice acreage has placed California sec
ond only to Louisiana as a producer
Of this cereal.

Just a Point Of View.

(Berton Braley)
I'm not a Puritan, think;
/ rather like my little drink,
And yet to me
It seems I'd be
A pretty rotten sport
IF, just to get nip or two
OF stuff that's legally tabood,
I shall defy
That law thatI
Ought rightly to support.
It's plain bad sportsmanship,
claim,
To help the great bootlegging game,
For those who choose
To smuggle booze
Are just the same old crew
Of thugs and law-defying knaves
Who reused our anger into waves
And brought about
The laws they fiout
Just as they used to do!
If booze from such as these I bought
I'd be tormented by the thought
That I was aid
In making trade
For rogues who ought OF hang;
Some folks may view it otherwise,
But if those rogues you patronize
And pay them pelf-
You make yourself
A partner with the gang!
Perhaps you keep your selfrespect,
Despite these partners you select,
Perhaps you feel
A bootleg deal
Is clever as can be;
But you'll excuse me, if I say
That when you view the thing that
way
You are a sort
Of rotten sport
Or so it looks to me.

Stories of Success.

Many stories could be told from the
history of advertising, showing the
fortune that came to many concerns
when they began to talk to the public
about their product.
Newspaper advertising started a
big demand for O'Sullivan's rubber
heels, and induced merchants to buy
who had never bought before, getting
distribution in New York City
alone of 100000 pairs. The success
of "Callox" through advertising is a
remarkable story. During 1919 the
demand for this product became so
great that advertising had to be sus-
pended temporarily to permit the
makers to catch up with the demand,
to do which they had to triple their
factory capacity. One campaign con-
Quoted in newspapers after some years
of advertising in other ways, increas-
ed dealer distribution in one city by
22O per cent and in another 440 per
cent. Give years progress in one
year," was the result Of this advertis
ing, according to the firm.
A few years ago Arbuckle brothers
decided to put on the market a certain
brand of coffee. Advertising cam
paign was prepared for the New York
City newspapers, and statesmen with
advance proofs Of the advertising, call
ed on dealers. Before any of these
advertisements had been published, the
goods had been ordered by $500 New
York City dealers, and this brand had
an amazingly large sale.
Another startling success was won
in Boston by a toilet soap company
which undertook a campaign in the
Boston newspapers. Their represent
alive, after preliminary canvass that
did not touch the big trade, wired that
he would need at least 10000 gross
soap, 10000 dozen vanishing cream,
and 10000 dozen shampoos.
These are sample illustrations of
what advertising does on a big scale
for progressive business concerns. It
can accomplish the same results pro-
portionately in our own field here in
Redwood Falls. Human nature is the
same here as in New York or Boston,
and if you tell people about good
proposition, they will get interested
in it.
