A MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION

The city papers are discussing dali
ly the question of the increase of
population. Ways and means are be-
ing suggested how large popula-
ton may be attracted to the cities.
Various means are suggested by
differing writer's. Now. more i'm
portant question is, how shall we
attract people from the cities to the
country? How shall we hold the Ia
borers on the farms we already
have. To populate the city is to de.
populate the country. Who is to feed
the millions of the cities but the
farmer? To draw men from the farm
is to reduce the production of the
farm. Scarcely farm anywhere

How are they to be gotten? This is
not a new problem. and one that is
not easily solved.

RED PAINT AND BLUE PAINT

Just how the expression "paint-
ing the town red" originated is not
known, but everybody knows what il
means. When man gets on n razoo,
tears around and kicks up old Sam
generally, he is said to paint the
town red" He is not desirable citi-
zen in any community.
There is another painter of
towns and communities. He carries a
pot of "blue' paint, and paints cv-
erything blue. He is himself "blue''
to start with. He looks thru blue
glasses. He sees bankruptcy, ruin
and starvation everywhere. He is a
financial, moral and religious critic.
Nothing plcases him. This cynic is
surly, snarlish, morose and pcssimis-
tic. His town is behind the times
and will always remain so. The young
people are the widest and most cx-
travagant. Even the weather is too
hot in summer and too cold in win
ter. Upon the whole this "bluc"
painter is wholcly and entirely dis
gruntled, and when his old carcass
is hauled to the cemetery the town
and community will be better off.
AS between the fred" and the
"blue" painter the red is to be pre-
ferred. He may be depended to start
something, and something-almost
anything is better than nothing.
Even dog fight is beneficial some
times. Stagnation is degeneration,
and the pool gets loaded with scum
No town needs either of these cit-
zens.

full, forward-looking citizen. The
churches need him. Business need,
him and welcomes his mnistrations
Too many of us take gloomy view
Of things.
We have one of the finest. very
best towns, filled with good people
and comfortable homes, good stores
and genial set of honest business
men. We can improve conditions
however, and make everything bet
ter by taking cheerful view, and
talking up instead of talking down.
Out with the red and blue citizens.
The red painter should be put il,

blue pill or some good, drastic

as he won't die should be cured if
possible.

COULDN'T FIND A CHURCH IN
