LENTON SERVICES AT
CHRIST CHURCH.

During the forty days Of Lent serv-
ices appropriate to the season will
be conducted at Christ Church, by
Rev. Lennie-Smith when he is here,
and by Hon. Thos. NJ. Wade and DR..
Whitaker during absence Of the Rec
tor. The services are particularly in
tended for Episcopalians but the pub
lie at large is welcome and invitation
is extended all congregations to at
tend. The Lenten services will be OBJ
served regularly on Sunday and Wed
nesday nights. All good Episcopalians
are expected to be punctual and reg
ular in attendance on these services
and also to observe other rules of
the church during this period.
Rev. Lennie-Smith will conduct
services at Christ Church on Sunday
morning and evening. He was to have
conducted services here on January
30th, but was unavoidably prevented
from coming because Of attendance
on the Episcopal Council, in session
in New Orleans at that time.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

While cotton and other articles
have declined in price paper has re-
NAMED stationery at best while some
grades have steadily advanced. Busi-
ness has become so dull since the
great depression visited US that the
Gazette is compelled to reduce ex-
penses or increase its rates. The lat
ter is practically out of question
in face of the stringent times, but
as stated we have but one Of two
alternatives-cut down our expense
or increase price of subscription. We
have elected to do the former, and
as a step in that direction are this
week eliminating the patent print
which has so long been a component
part of the Gazette. How long this
retrenchment will last we are un-
able to say, we trust not many months.
We hope the price or patent print
will in time be reduced sufficiently
to enable us to return to its use, but
at this time we are not able to carry
the burden and live. The paper we
have been giving our readers has
advanced from pre-war prices at
least one hundred per cent, and at
this time and for at least three years
has cost US over $13 per issue before
reaching our office, that is to say
before being printed by US. This
heavy cost has so eaten into our re-
ceipts as to cause a deficit. which
compels the step taken toward re-
trenchment.
In this connection we wish to say
that the Gazette is not the only week.
ly paper finding the return to al
homeprint necessary. A number of oul
exchanges are dropping the patent
print. Some have done so by prefer
ence, we do it from necessity, and viii
only do it as long as we have to. W.
trust our readers will appreciate thu
situation and make no complaint.

IMPROVED HIGHWAYS ESSEN
TIAL TO NATIONS LIFE

The problems of civilization are
many. The dangers confronting us as
a nation are almost without end. They
involve the problems of education in
the rural districts, of the religious
life of the country places, the main
tenance Of our farms and the pro-
duction of foodstuffs adequate for our
ever-growing requirements.
There are many problems of poll
tics, of Government, of bolshevism
and of safety from all the dangers
which threaten this and all other
countries. Many of these problems can
find a solution only in an abundant
supply of foodstuffs produced and
sold at reasonable price, and this
is not possible except by the largest
development Of cur agricultural in
terests and the prosperity Of the
farmers.
Farm life must be made comfort
able and attractive from the economic
as we'll as from the social and ne
ligious standpoint. If the cities draw
more heavily upon the manhood OF
the country districts than they have
been doing in the past, the agricultu'
raj life of the nation will be doomed
and that means ultimate destruction
for all.
Without improved highways ex-
tending far into the country dis
tricts, making farm life attractive
and social, educational and religion
opportunities available to the youni
and old on the farms, the movement
of population toward the cities vii
continue, the virility of country lif
will be snapped and every DANCE
which threatens US will be intensi
fled.
Improved highways are absolutel
essential to the salvation Of this ns
ton.
Bad highways will intensity ever
danger which confrohts US.
Counties, States and the FEEDERS
Government alike must unite in
campaign for improved highway
broad enough in scope to save tn
nation from every danger which ba
highways would intensity.
For these reasons the Manufactr
rers Record of Baltimore, Marylant
is now devoting much space to in
proved highways.
