DIVINE Discomfort

A certain great scientist, who has
probably contributed more to .he
welfare of mankind than any other
living person, says that the progress
of race or nation is determined by
the degree to which it possesses that
quality of character which he cabs
| divine discomfort"
By this term he means an eager
and persistent striving after some
thing better than existing conditions,
a restless feeling that nothing is yet
perfect, and tireless purpose to
carry the human race as nearly as
possible toward the unattainable goal
of perfection. He terms this spirit
a "divine" discomfort because it IS a
rare man who can be discontented,
yet not unhappy, unsatisfed, yet not
quarrelsome nor pettish, ambitious
for goal that cannot be reached, vet
never peSsimistic as to ultimate re-
suits, constantly laboring, never
shirking, choosing work instead of
idleness, living life of unending en-
deavor and thought instead of taking
the easy method of letting things be
as they ere and permitting someone
else to do ones thinking for one
1t was q man whose soul was stir
red by divine discomfort who labored
for years and invented the modern
reaper to take the place of the old
hand cradle, and it was divine discon-
tent which gave US the threshing ma
chine, the grain drill, the cotton gin,
and our modern knowledge of ferti-
lizers, plant life, and methods of COM
batting plant disease and parasites. Ev-
cry improvemnt that has ever been
made in agriculture has been born in
the brain of a man who was discon-
tented with the old methods of doing
things.
Have you Il little of this spirit in
your soul? If not, you will never
make progress. When your crops fail
do you find out why, or do you take
the lazy and ignorant method of
blaming it on the phase of the moon
Do you farm with your head as well
rs your hands; DO you rea', .,arn I'd
| irT:.rdly digs. what l.,u read all
learn; do you apply the lessons that
tthCr men learn to the problems Of
of your own farm; do you profit
| from experience or do you make the
same mistakes year after year? Are
you striving always to improve youl
farming, or are you content with the
methods of your grandfathers?
| In farming there is no such thina
as a state of rest. You must eithe,
| grow or rot.
Which are you doing? Close you,
eyes and look back over the year.
that are past. Is your farm better
farm than last year; are you a bet
ter man; is your family happier o.
more prosperous as result of youl
thought and labor? Don't you feel i,
your soul the stirring of that divin,
discomfort; doesn't it stir you will
enthusiasm to do better? 1t is mer
like you, men who are ceaselessly
striving for the better, who will car
ry on the steady progress toward.
better farming and better living.

stock Market Very Dull.

The unwonted activity in yesterdays s
bond market did not spread to the mar
ket for stocks, and all day long ex-
treine dulncss. except in those issues in
which pools were actively engaged In
accommodating shares, prevailed. AS on
Monday and In the last half Of last
week, the oil stocks were once more the
leaders, and 1t seems to be in that de-
rartmcnt that the speculative groups
are most active. For one reason. the
oil industry is the single one in which
a very considerable budget Of construc-
night and in which prospects for even
further advancement are believed to be
very bright. Another reason why the
pool operators are inclined to favor the
oils is the low prices which a majority
of them now command. AS a result of
that situation 1t has been found much
easier to get q following than it would
have been among the high priced shares
and on days Of irregularity there ha
been even division in the market for
the oil shares. the lower priced oil is
sues advancing and those quoted fur
thcr up the scale declining. Cosden.
Pacific OIL Island Oil and Houston were
oncc again among the leaders in point
Of activity as well as strength. Island
duplicated It's high of Monday at 3a.
showing an advance of 75 per cent.
from it's years low OF 2 and closing at
the top. Houston moved in its usual
spectacular. fashion. getting UP rs high

ably more than point at 40. its high

Texas Compony.

The Texas Company will not follow
this year its usual plan of offering stock
to its stockholders for subscription at a
price well below the market, according
10 Chicago dispatches received in New
York yesterday. No such offering would
be made in the next year. 1t was added.
The reason assigned for the change of
policy was the exceptionally strong cash
position OF the company. which had on
hand approximately $4,000. 900, includ-
Ing $10.000.000 Of United States Treas.
TRY certificates of indebtedness. The
company's crude oil inventory has ap-
preciated nearly $30.000.000 as a result
Of the recent increases In the market
rice OF crude oil. For several years
the Texas Company has issued new
stock near the close of every year and
has offered 1t to it's stockholders for SUBJ
scription. In every case the price Of the
subscription has been sufficiently below
the market value Of the shares to give
the stockholders valuable rights.

Howard Elliott. chairman OF the

last week between Government officials
and the railroad committee OF which he
is a member. Mr. Elliott said that the
question OF reductions in transportation
rates and wages was a delicate one on
account of the numerous parties OF in

elling public. He added, however, that

The gross operating revenues OF the
Northern Pacific Railway in September
totalled $9.S06,00o. its largest gross Of
any month of this year, and represent
ing a 9.92 per cent. increase, compared
with those Of August. and 24.49 per cent
better than those OF July. A decrease
OF $1.758.000. or 1872 per cent. was
shown from those of September. 1920, In
which the increased freight and passen-
ser rates went into effect The heavier
movement Of grain. which enabled the
Northern Pacific to report surplus
after dividends in August. continued on
an increased scale in September. It's net
earnings of the latter. IL operating costs
were identical with those of August
would be $2.S18.000. roughly equivalent
tc a surplus OF S1,000.000 after dividends

Boston and Maine.

Preliminary traffic reports of the Bos-

indicate that the road In that month will
parallel or better its showing Of August.
In which 1t broke away from an un-
broken line OF monthly deficits this year
and reported net operating income OF

Kelly stiII BEHIND Orders.

In. spite of a materially increased pro-
duction rate the Kelly Springfield Tire
Company is still fifteen days behind its
orders, 1t was learned yesterday. The
company is turning out daily about 4, 800
tires. of which nearly half are being
produced at it's Cumberland plant. Its
sales in September amounted to $2,423.-
600 in contrast to s1,s62,0 900 in Sep
tember, 1920. The steady Improvement
shown in the company's business is ex-
pected to bring its sales in 1921 to
the figure of last year In spite of the
extreme depression OF the early months
of this year.

LET CANDIDATES ADVERTISE FREELY

There are very valid reasons why, as asked by the Arizona Daily Newspaper Publishers as sociation, the state corrupt practices act should be amended so as not to include expenditures for newspaper advertising in the campaign expense limitations.
 Newspaper advertising and publicity is the greatest single factor in cheapening political campaigns. Through the medium of the press the candidate for office is enabled to take his message to great majority of the people when he might not be able, financially or physically, to get it to them in any other way. And through newspaper dissemination of the candidates views, his pledges and perhaps his record, the public-the people by whose suffrage he will be elected or defeated-get the benefit of informa- ton to which they are entitled and which they should have before they can vote intelligently.
 Of course, the press is and has been very lib eral in giving free publicity to the views and ut terances of candidates for public offices, news paper disregarding oftentimes, the fact that it is devoting space to a candidate which 1t individu- ally does not support Newspapers do this when there are elements of news in the views and ut terances they exploit and because they feel an obligation to their readers to give them the news But there is not an element of news in every message which candidate would like to get be- fore the public much of it is more or less prop aganda, and it would be an imposition on any paper to publish such matter as anything but paid advertising. AS such, however, and mark ed "advt," it would not corrupt the voter-readers and would not influence the editorial opinion of the average self-respecting newspaper. Dispatch.
