O Why are certain unimportant
words printed in italics in the Bible?
G. c. 5.
A. The American Bible society says
thas the words which are printed IN
italics are not unimportant words.
They are used as a rule to complete
the translation of the Greek or he
brew words. The usages OF the hc-
brew language and of the Greek Ian
auage do not permit OF translation
into English without here and there
the necessity of adding an article Or
nartfciple or something of that sort,
or even another word in order to
make complete sense out OF literal
translation

By what indications John William
Shelton, comptroller of the currency,
Washington, D. c.. judges this coun-
try to be in a sounder economic CON
dition than it has been for many years,
1t is difficult to see. For one thing,
Mr.. Shelton doesn't know anything of
the troubles Of millions Of farmers in
all sections of the country, who have
obligations to meet and can find no
market in which to dispose of their
cotton, wheat, corn, and livestock,
that will give them fair compensation
for the labor expended and expense
incurred. The statement made in many
directions, that the present crisis was
precipitated by the international bank
ers deliberately to make cleanup, is
very much sustained by the fact that
the price of steel still maintains its pre-
war quotations.
The price Of steel has always been
considered a true index of economic
conditions. and would prove that the
present bad business condition is an
artificial one and has no justification
in fact.

The sources of woodpulp for the
making of newsprint paper in the I'M
tied States being practically exhaust
ed, there is no valid reason why a
heavy import duty should be levied on
paper of this description. Everyone in
the country is practically news read
Ter, and the customers of the publishers
will naturally have to pay the import
duty on this paper. Many thousands
of rural communities have lost their
local papers during the last few years,
because the expense of publication
was too great for the income and the
publisher had to suspend.
Everyone knows that good local
paper is a community-builder, and a
big asset for the population that sus-
tains it. A price reduction in material
will again enable energetic and ambi-
tious young men to establish good To-
cal papers and help in the upbuiIding
of progressive and successful popIla-
ton.

HUMAN BEINGS ARE ALSO
DESERVING OF CARE

BY paying careful attention to the
actual requirements Of animals with re-
spect to food, it has been found that
by giving them different articles in de-
finite proportion, one can obtain more
and richer milk from COWS. grow more
flesh upon steers and pigs, make hors-
es more muscular, and obtain more
eggs from chickens, This is called,
giving them balanced rations, feeding
them intelligently. first in order 10
keep them in good health, second to
make them most profitable TO US. By
proper feeding and careful selection in
mating. have ben produced larger and
superior animals In every respect, and
they can be thus maintained in perfect
health.
! But it seems to have escaped our at
tention that what has been done in
this matter for domestic animals can
in all probability be done fully as well
for ourselves.
Nothing ever just happens in this
world of ours. Cause and effect all
ways completely balance each other.
| If people are troubled with sickness,
| If they age prematurely, if they are in
efficient workers, it is unquestionably
due to the fact that they in some way
violate natural laws operative in their
organism, their lives. Our normal
state is one of healthfulness, and if we
are not healthy we have been remiss
in some direction in our conduct.
Referring to this subject, Prof. Irving
Fisher, of Yale University, one of our
leading scientists on this subject, says:
I'VE have been drifting for genera
tons and our eating habits are large
y matters Of accident, of imitation, not
sof science. We know what science has
done to perfect methods of warfare;
what changes it has wrought in manu-
factureing methods. But what infIu-
ence has it had on our mode of liv-
ing?"

FARMER PUTNAM ON SILOS


Il reckon ! might as well tell the
truth and admit that silos has their bad
points. Now when | first put up a
stave silo on my farm at Stockbridge,
Missouri. before comm to Colorado,
one Of my customers, particular old
lady down TO St. Joe. kicked about the
butter having nutty flavor For a
while ! didn't know what to make of
it, but by and BY set watch on my
feed lot and | seen them durn wood
peckers was swarmin round the top
Of the silo. On climbin up. seen
they had pecked lot Of holes all a.
round the top and they was droppin
acorns through them holes. thinkin
they was STORM EN- up fur winter.
Nachually the cows EFT the acorns in
the silage and that give the butter the
nutty flavor. If they was any acorns
out here in Colorado. I'd put up a
stave silo and sell butter at a high
figger. Another bother about feedin
silage was that the cows liked it too
well; they just about quit eatin' rough
ness and had to build two silos to
keep EN- satisfied. This made the
milk flow so durn strong that had
to increase my minkin' force, maxim
me more trouble and work. | finally
give up and come out here to CoIora-
do to rest. My advise is. don't build
a silo unless you're prepared to handle
more income.

Some people advocate that the I'm
tied States should cancel the ten bill
lion loan made to the Allies during the
late war, on the claim that it is abso-
lutely necessary, and would enable En-
gland and France to cancel the IN

scrap their war mechines and go in for

there will be a big cry go up
from the press OF the world
that will make such a position
almost if not quite untenable.
The chances are that the ses-
sionS will be open to the world
and the press boys will have

wires of the country will keep

every movement that is made.
When Woodrow Wilson sat
at the peace table in Paris
there was no member of the
senate to sit with him. The
treaty making power of the
government had been neglect
ed and guided by the seeming
mistake of Wilson. Mr.. Hard
ing is almost certain to have
a member of the United States
senate in the conference and
is does seem that it is cour-
tesy due that august body.
Whether William f. Borah,
Republican senator from Idaho
will be that representative or
not cannot be told at this time.
Being the author Of the reso-
luton under which the preSi-
dent called the conference the
natural thing to be done would
be to appoint Senator Borrah.
But there are differences OF
opinion between the Senator
and the Administration that
may make it impossible for
the usual precedent to be fol
lowed in this case. The Sena-
tor believes that the nations
should disarm first and ther
settle the causes of interna-
tional friction afterward while
the Administration believes
that the causes Of disharmony
hostility and war must be elm
mated first with disarmament
as a natural result.

EYES OF TIE WORLD ON
SECRETARY HUGHES

Very suddenly the world
becomes interested in Charles
Evans Hughes, secretary OF
state in President Harding's
cabinet. Mr.. Hughes will
represent America at the dis
armament conference to be
held in Washington beginning
November II. MIR. Hughes IS
to select the place to hold the
conference, he will have
charge Of the meeting as a
representative of the govern
ment where the conference Is
held. His powers at the con
ference will be on a par with
the powers of Woodrow vii
son at the Paris peace table.
Mr.. Hughes is almost sixty
years Of age, he began the
practice of law in 1884 in
the city Of New York, he
has served the country as
college president, lawyer, gov
ernor of New York, as a mem
Der of the Supreme Court and
was his party's choice for
president in 1916. While gov
ernor of New York he worked
for reform legislation and put
race track gambling from the
state. He was appointed in
1905 TO make an investigation
Of life insurance companies
and SO thoroughly did he do
his work that permanent
changes were made in the old
line companies. Rates have
been given these companies
and profligate wastes Of the
moneys of these companies
were stopped.
Charles Evans Hughes seems
eminentIy fitted by education
and by experience to assume
the duties that he has been
given and We believe he will
serve with distinction.
There will be others to
serve as representatives OF
this country but they have not
been chosen. Our country

cipleS to causes Of friction
and these principles must be
accepted as. a guarantee OF
the state of mind which would
make disarmament possible.
Great men in the Republi-
can ranks like Harding, Taft,
Hughes, the late Fairbanks,
and hundreds of others stood
for the adoption of the League
of Nations. 1t was purely
political eXpediency that kept
that document from being ac-
cepted by this country and
without calling it a league
these men who are today de-
sirouS of serving their coun-
try with distinction would
like to get something as nearly
like the league compact as
possible but acquire it under
some other name. This con-
ference is the Republican plan
to bring about international
peace. Its aim is Christian,
its aim is to save a vast sum
of tax money that is now being
used to build war equipments
and to support an army. Men
everywhere who do not want
any other generation ever to
take their places again in war
trenches and to be gassed and
destroyed by flames will look
with hope to this conference.
Our sincere desire is that it
may finally lead the countries
of the world into a League of
Nations controlled by an in
ternational code of laws that
will eliminate war. But as
long as there are Kingdoms
and ambitious rulers and ieal-
Gus statesmen and as long as
men will fight there will be
wars. There is today more
hope for the elimination OF
war by the refusal of soldiers
to fight than there is for
statesmen to get together and
agree upon a compact that
the nations Of the world will
ascribe to and then live up
to with a devotion necessary
to eliminate wars.
