Producers Are Returning
To TUo-ReeL Dramas

William y. Selig and Sam +. Rork
are bringing about the return of an
old public favorite-tht t" drama.
These two producers will now offer
two reel productions of well-known
short stories by famous authors, with
all-star casts.
This plan gives the reverse to the
idea that. for melOdrama and problem
plays. the screen needs the relief Of
fast comedy. The two reel dramas will
be used as a counter attraction for the
light and romantic fve-part comedy to
which so many motion picture stars are
turning their attention.

You were never too tired to give me
first call

How you took me in your arms when

Nor how, in the evening, when slum-

You'd sing me some sweet lullaby.

weary days
That you toiled and toiled for my
sake;
And when l was i'll saw your tears

USE OF CREDIT

Nobody as a rule gets very far in
building up farm. carrying forward

business who is afraid, or does not
know how, to use credit Those who
abuse credit usually come even to a
quicker end of failure.
The secret of successful use of
credit is getting all that one can safe

The man who allows himself to get
in debt to as many people and for as
many different things as possible is
abusing and not using his credit.

Shall Joseph At
tend Sunday SCHOOL,
BY Edna Dean Baker

In this day of lowered standards
| of prevalent crime, of vicious forms
of entertainment of which the average
movie is a type, we need to subject
our children to every uplifting in
| huence that makes for clean, honest
strong character. We need to seek a
permanent remedy for selfshness
which is causing the strife between
labor and capital as well as all other
strife. The Sunday School is one
medium for this valuable training.
In many homes there comes a day
when the question Shall Joseph go
to Sunday SCHOOL," is raised in all
seriousness by Joseph's parents. Per-
haps they themselves are members of
a church, perhaps they are not even
church attendants. There is, however
desire on the part of all genuinely
earnest fathers and mothers to Sc
cure for their children not only the
best in education but whatever bless
ing the church may have to bestow.
They often express this ambition as
did one little mother when she
brought her Joseph to Sunday School,
IL want my boy to be a good boy"
she said.
While going to Sunday School is
not synonymous with being "a good
boy" any more than going to church
insures honesty in business, yet the
church has been and is a fundamental
agency in creating the ideals, the as
pirations, the attitudes that serve as
the motive power for right action
The Bible story is potent factor to
this end Theodore who had listened
eagerly to the story of David and
Goliath told by a Sunday School
teacher who was an artist in making
this old story live in the imagination,
remarked, Gee, but that David was
a will" and then wistfully, DO you
s'pose | could ever be like him?"
Not alone the creating of ideas of
service but the carrying out of such
ideas is prominent feature of Sunday
School work today. A class of ten
year-olds had heard with deep con-
Germ an account of the starving child
rem of Armenia. They longed to help
and decided to solicit doughnuts
cookies and canned fruit from their
mothers. They held a sale with the
aid of the Sunday School teacher and
realized sixty dollars with which to
support starving children
The teaching of the Sunday School
is not restricted to establishing
right relation to ones fellows but it
includes acquainting the child with
God as the Creator of all things thus
answering the eternal question of
Genesis satisfactorily. 1t also includes
the presentation of God as the Greater
Father and hence the friend, protector
and guide of every child Thank you,
God" said tiny child, for keeping

care of me-" The atmosphere of re-
verence and devotion makes deep
impression upon the child. Johns
father, sman who never attended any
church, consented to his boys attend
ance at Sunday School. One morning
a few weeks after John had entered
the Sunday School, the father became
irritated at refractory collar button
and took the name Of the Lord in
vain" John who apparently had been
asleep, sat up and in a tone of grieved
reproof said, Daddy If you went to
our Sunday School you wouldn't
speak of God like that"
Shall Joseph go to Sunday
SCHOOL," Well let us at least try the
experiment and watch the result. IL
may do for Joseph what il has done
for many another lad. 1t may give
him faith in the unseen, a vision of
worthy manhood, a love for all life
which will make his own life more
satisfying and a greater blessing to
his fellowmen.

/ organize under the Federal Farm
Loan Act and each borrow up to
| $4,000 at that rate on land appraised
to be worth $4,000.
This Kansas Shorthorn breeder
| gets from his farm manager on the
last day OF every month a statement
of tools, implements, live stock or
what not that has been bought dur
ing the month, and on the first day
of each month checks are sent to the
grocer, the hardware man. the imple-
ment dealer, or to whoever has sold
anything for the use of the farm. Or
course there are months when the out
go largely exceeds the income as in
most lines of business, but he does
not ask or expect Tom, Dick and
Harry to wait for payment of their
bills on this account He arranges
with his banker when necessary to
make out new note so that monthly
payment OF all supply and other bills
can be met on a certain date.
The first of each year he makes
up for his banker a complete schedule
of what he owns and what he owes.
He lists the calves and yearlings he
expects to sell during the year and is
always careful to value them so con-
servatively that when they are sold
he does not fool either himself or the
banker. For instance, this year on
January 1, he listed six yearlings as
worth $1,000 or $3.50 per head He has
already sold four of them for $1,000,
or an average of $3.50. so you can see
that his banker feels that he is entirely
safe in extending credit to such man.
This man very strongly feels that
too many farmers slave themselves
and their families to death in trying
to raise the first mortgage when they
might refund it for long period and
use the capital to get better live
stock that would enable them to make
much more rapid progress
Sound business sense and careful
business methods are needed to make
success of anything. To borrow
what can safely be provided for and
use the funds only for the legitimate
work of the progressive breeding farm
is wise economy To tie up capital in
a mortgage free farm without enough
more to get the best results in pro-
duction from that farm means druid
gerry and poor living-Shorthorn

THE WHITE SOUL

A niger sat on the wagon seat,
Driving a pair of mules,
Trotting them gently down the street
But observing the traffic rules.
When suddenly stopping, he sprang
to the ground,
And | saw him from where | sat,
Raise from in front of his mules
hoofs
Somebody's half grown cat.
He did not do. as some would have
done,
Who thought themselves quite
humane,
Just throw the wee thing on the side
walk
And start off his team again,
But gently, yea even tenderly,
He carried it off the street.
And placing it on a store door step,
Returned to his wagon seat
"A fanciful tale" some folks may say
But it happens to be quite true,
And I'm wondering if-as il did to
me-
The thought will occur to you;
That in spite of dark skin and kinky
hair,
So clear to the outward sight
The soul of the darkey | saw
That day was unmistakenably white.
