LIVE RIGHT TO SERVE
COUNTRY BEST, BACkUS

Members of the Harry Ray post No.
65, American Legion, and of the local
Woman's Auxiliary to the American
Legion attended the special Armistice
day services of the Grace M. E. church
Sunday morning. The pastor, Rev. A.
H. Backus, preached an appropriate
sermon upon the theme, THE Higher
Patriotism"
The Rev. Backus said in part: Pat
riotism is the first Of civic virtues
Nationalism is part of the divine plan
for the development of the race. Pat
riotism, as such is not, however, dis
tinctly American sentiment. The his
tory of all nations is the record of
patriotic achievements. If American
patriotism is to be distinctive it must
be of nobler order than that of the
other countries. A new note must be
sounded, a broader sense of human
brotherhood must take possession Of
our spirits and actuate our conduct.
zone of the elements of this higher
patriotism should be a just pride in
the righteousness of every cause we
have espoused as nation. Higher
than the pride that we have won in
every struggle should be the sublimer
satisfaction that we have been right
in every conflict
Another element of higher patriot
ism which Armistice day should es-
pecially emphasize is that of peace.
This is the mandate of the living to
the dead, this is the summons of Arm
istice day, this is the ideal Of higher
patriotism, this is the voice of the
church of God whose Lord is the
Prince of Peace Make future wars
impossible.
"A more exalted standard of Ameri-
can citizenship is still another element
of the higher patriotism The most
patriotic act any citizen can perform
is to live right. It is fine thing for
man to be proud of his country, but
it is finer thing for country to be
proud of the men. America needs bet
ter men, purer homes, industrial JUS
tice, political integrity and sterling in
dividual righteousness
Jesus Christ was the greatest pat
riot the world ever saw He only loves
his country who loves God and right
eousness more. for only God and right
can save any land"

FARMERS OF INDIANA
HAVE LITTLE PROFIT,
BUT PLENTY To EAT
BY GEORGE c. BRYANT

Governmental Agricultural Statistic
ian-Written for the United Press
Few Indiana farmers have had a
profitable year. but nearly all of them
have full larders. That part of thir
crops consumed on the farm produced
TO a good advantage and they will
not go hungry.
The harvest is over with the excep-
ton of some corn husking yet to be
done. Fall grains are all seeded and
the stand and conditions generally IS
good. Soil conditions were not the
best for blowing for spring sowing,
but much of it has been done.
Other outdoor farm work has made
splendid progress. Pastures are of
little feed value, but there is plenty
of roughage and the movement of feed
er stock to farms is quite pronounced
Corn is the principal crop in this
state, and the price will average about
10 cents above last year. Much of
1t has been contracted at above fifty
cents bushel.
With an Increase in price and an in
crease OF approximately 100000 bu-
sheis IN production over last year,
- ~ ihSoAOo VII SHOW gross gains
OF around $2o,O00,000 on the crop.
The wheat crop of 1922 was some
what larger than last years, but the
total value was about the same. Oats
were less than half the average crop.
In many places not yielding enough to
pay the taxes on the land The loss
from this source would probably be es.
tlmated around from So, 000, 900 to So.
10000
The hay crop was excessively large.
Although the price was considerably
lower than last year. the total value
was somewhat greater
Corn, wheat, oats and hay constitute
about 81 per cent of the cultivated
acreage of the state but in some OF
the counties other crops are looked
upon as the real money crops. To-
bacco is quite important in some coun-
ties, along the southern border and in
many places tomatoes of which more
than one-fourth of the total product in
the country is in Indiana, constitute
a very important crop Both these
crops yielded well this season.
High prices paid by the farmer for
the things they are required to buy
compared with the prices of the things
they have to sell, is the cause of a
great deal of disatisfaction-an Justly
-for the unit value of farm products
VIII not buy nearly as much now as
during the pre-War period.

to Felix Renick, pioneer who brought

porting cattle" A commission brought
the cattle from England and they

COLUMBUS, Nov. 13-Ohio can be
assured of good potato crop The
october estimated for Ohio is placed
at 10,500,0O0 bushels by G. J. West
statistician of the state federal crop
reporting service. This is a potato
crop for Ohio fifty per cent larger than
last years crop though not SO large
as the 1920 crop. The United States
crop will be about twenty-five per cent
above last years crop. The sweet DO
tato crop in Ohio is estimated at
$4,000 bushels. The yield of III bu
shells per acre is the highest of the
past five years. These figures indi-
cate that Ohio is doing its share when
1t comes to the production of potatoes
