ToWN AND coIINrRY

1T used to take either a fire or a
funeral to get our people together.
Naturally thy did not do much in
those days, except to keep fires from
spreading, and get the dead people
decently buried. Now they all come
out to the meetings of our commun-
ity organizations"
eve used to speak of town peo-
Pile and country people Now we
talk about Montgomery county peo-
pie. The towns and rural districts
are all working for the same ends, as
they have found out that their inter
ests are identical"
The above paragraphs are taken
from an address delivered by a com
munity worker in another state.
They show the kind of spirit that is
celebrating the old lines that used
to separate town and country people.
The curse of many towns in past
years has been rivalry and antagon-
ism between neighborhoods. Every
district would get the idea that it
had not had its fair share of public
improvements. They would all de-
vote so much energy to scrapping
over the location of schoolhouses or
village buildings, that they had none
left with which to promote ends of
common advancement.
A spirit of jealousy and contention
frequently existed between town and
village centers and the surrounding
country. The towns were Indifferent
to the welfare of the farmers, and
often secretly laughed at them. The
rural people resented this attitude,
and would tend to oppose the things
the towns wanted done. Personal
antagonisms were created that work
ed against harmonious cooperation.
The movement for better country
life has been given a tremendous
boost by the Get Together movement
between the towns and the surround
ing country districts. The business
men of the towns are taking hold to
help the farmers put their operations
on a sound basis. Everything they
do on this line is for their own inter
est, since the prosperity of town
center depends on the prosperity of
the surrounding country.

AMERICAN VALUATION

1t is not to be expected that the
retail merchants are going to favor
the American valuation plan in
assessing duties. When they can buy
1O-cent articles and goods in Ger
many and sell them here for 50 to SIS.
1t Is quite natural that anything in
terfering with this kind of profiteer-
ing would be unanimously opposed.
Be that as it may, the sound indus
trial interests of the country are in
favor of American valuation by big
majority, and it is not conceivable
that Congress can or will do anything
else but establish the basis OF Amer
lean valuation on imports as we'll as
give US a safe Tariff that will firmly
establish the American wage and our
high standard of living.
Each month brings increasing pub
lie sentiment favorable to America
for Americans" and members of
Congress have their ears close to the
ground about this time, as the cleo
tions this year will fix the future of
many men now representing or mis-
representing the American people in
Washington.
Employers of millions Of workpeo-
pie are pronounced in favor of
American valuation. The welfare of
their help is an important considera-
ton in their approval of the plan,
and it will be risky to play with the
buzz saw.-Boston Fibre and Fabric,

Marine Phenomenon.

Late one January the steamship
Trafalgar, when within ten miles of
Wolf rock, off the southeast coast of
England, met with a remarkable ac-
cident.
A report like that of a cannon was
heard. and a. large fiery body with
tail 80 or 40 feet long struck the
water 20 feet from the vessel. 1t
was accompanied by a loud kissing,
and a column of water rose where it
struck the sea. Immediately after
ward the ship seemed to be on fire,
the engine room glowing with a violet
light filled with multitudes of sparks.
The mate engaged at the wheel suf-
fered violent shock through the steel
rod in his hand. The crew fed TO the
deck. 1t was found that all the COM
passes had been demagnetized, and
the ship had much difficulty in making
her way to Falmouth. 1t was prob
ably a strong lightning flash which
struck the water, and the subsequent
electric phenomena were produced by
the dispersal OF the charge supplied
to the surface of the sea.

JEWISH FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
Has Been Held for Centuries as
Memorial OF the Dedication
of the Altar.

Hanukkah, the Feast Of Dedication,
also called Feast of the Maccabees, .
is a Jewish festival beginning on the
twenty-fifth day Of Kislew Decem-
ber) and continuing for eight days,
chiefly as a festival OF lights. 1t
was instituted by Judas Maccabeus,
his brothers, and the elders of the
congregation of Israel, in the year 165
B. c., TO be celebrated annually with
mirth and joy as a memorial of the
dedication of the altar, or the puri-
ficatiOn of the sanctuary.
After having recovered the Holy
city and the Temple from the Greeks,
Judas ordered a new altar to be
built in the place of the one which had
been polluted by ,Antiochus Epiphanes,
who had caused a pagan altar to be
set up in the Temple of Jerusalem, and
sacrifices to be offered to his idol.
When the fire had been kindled anew
upon the altar and the lamps OF the
candlestick lit, the dedication Of the
altar was celebrated for eight days
amid sacrifices and songs.
In the Talmud the festival is prin-
cipally known as the Feast of Il
Elimination" and it was usual either
to display eight lamps on the first
night of the festival, and reduce the
number on each successive night, or
to begin with one lamp the first night,
increasing the number till the eighth
night. The lights are supposed to be
symbOlical Of the liberty obtained by
the Jews on the day of which Hanuk-
kah is the celebration.

4 TRIUMPH OF CIVILIZATION

Any on of our modern stores here

achievement in modern civilization.

nelbraltar Of Canada

Quebec citadel, sometimes called
the Gibraltar of Canada" is a strong
fertilization covering 40 acres of
ground, and in its present form it dates
from 1923. The more modern fortf-
fications were constructed in 10000,
substantially on the lines OF the French
works of 1920. The citadel has been
garrisoned by Canadian soldiers since
the withdrawal Of British troops In
1871. 1t inclOSes a parade and drill
ground, 40 acres in extent, surrounded
by barracks and magazines under the
walls. Heavy cannon are mounted on
the ramparts. A large stone building

FIND HEALTH IN SUMS RAYS
Now Practiced in the Most Mod
ern Sanitariums.

In a small village in the Adiron-
dacks there is a sanitarium where
patients take sun baths. And a high
price is charged for the treatment.
Bathing in the suns rays for health
is an ancient ceremony, handed down
from the earliest ages. Wiseacres in
bygOne times used to battle in the
sunshine, believing in the great value
of light as a destroyer of disease.
Light was the secret and universal
medicine by which they cured many
diseases.
Sunlight is the greatest factor in
our planetary existence; if it failed
all life would perish. One has only to
look at nature for potent examples.
In vegetable, animal and human life
the influence of sunlight is strongly
manifest. Compare the vegetation in
the gardens of a back street away
from the sunlight with similar growth
in the open country. Compare the
children Of the country with those
living down a narrow street of the
city SlumS.
For creating good general health
and happiness no medicine is so eff
fective as the direct rays of the sun.
A sun bath consists of letting the rays
OF the sun battle the skin each day.
preferably during the morning. The
body is, Of course, wholly or partial

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

mand for breeding cows in the coun-
try for restocking and for dairy pur-
poses. It is a natural and a whole
some situation. There has also
developed an active market in beef
cattle in harmony with the hog and
sheep situation. With hogs selling
around ten cents and sheep touching
a level above sixteen cents there is a
feeling of encouragement among
producers and feeders. Why should
MT there be? While grain and feed
values are advancing they are COM
paratively low when the prices of a
few months ago are considered. The
cost of production and maintenance
is less now.
AS the price of cattle moves up
ward feeling of confidence becomes
general. In February an offering of
registered Shorthorns was sold at
auction at Knoxville, Tenn. for an
average of 1922 on thirty-eight head
and the settlements were practically
all in cash. The buyers all came
from the southern states where it
has been understood financial dis
tress has been general due to the cot
ton situation. Perhaps the fact that
cotton has been draggy has inclined
the plantation owners to mixed farm
ing practices. If that rs true the de-
cline in cotton was not without its
blessing.
The following week 200 registered
Shorthorn cattle were sold in the Ma
tiOnal Shorthorn Congress at Chi
cago for a naverage of 1912 a head
These were chiefly yearlings and
under yearings. Certainly a credit
able price for this number. There is
money in them at such prices. Evil
IDENTIFY there is a general tendency
among farmers to get back into stock
raising. They are warranted in do
ing so for they provide thereby the
most profitable channel for market
ing their crops and they build into
their soil a value that other systems
fail to do. And it must not be over
looked that the increasing of value in
the producing power in the acres one
owns is one of the surest earnings
that may be provided.
There seems to be no difference of
opinion among those who are in
touch with the livestock situation as
to the trend of values. Sellers and
buyers at the markets are in accord.
SIT looks like higher beef and pork
and mutton" they all say in effect.
This is music to the growers ears
to his soul, for he has had his days of
concern. Grade ranch cows that
were rated at $50 head a few weeks
ago are now receiving bids of around
$40. The whole situation harmonizes
with this comparative values in COWS.
With the approach of spring comes
also the assurance of better days
near at hand for the stocllman.
Another condition is more favor
able also. 1t is the easing up of the
money situation and correspondingly
lower interest rates. It appears that
there is money available now. It al
so appears that it will be seeking in
vestment. Many a doHar borrowed
during the next few months for in
vestment in good cattle wall earn for
the borrower large dividends and put
him in the way Of sure prosperity
