COMMERCIAL FAILURES UNDER
HARDING ADMINISTRATION

American business has not yet re-
turned to the normally" it expe-
rienced under eight years of Demo-
cratic administration of national
affairs. With less than a month of
1922 remaining, record of COM
mercial disaster without parallel in
the history of the country has al
ready been attained.
Bradstreets's report on the sub
ject says:
For eleven months of this year
failures number 20.54S. an increase
of 1877 per cent over last year
hitherto the peak year in number OF
failures. In fact, there have been
534 more failures in eleven months
than in the entire calendar yea1
1921"
Failures in November, 1922, were
more than four times as many as in
November, 1919, which was five
months before the close of the sec
ond Wilson administration. In No
vember, 1922, after eighteen month!
of Republican control of the legis
lative and executive branches of thu
Government, the failures were 1,75s
involving liabilities of $27.3O7,
/ 265. This was in startling con
trast with November, 1919, wher
the failures were only 429 and thu
liabilities but $5.207.596.

LINCOLN'S FAITH IN PRAYER
RECALLED

Paris Henderson, of East Long
Beach, a delegate to the Methodist
Conference at Fresno, Cali, said
that in his boyhood he knew Abra-
ham Lincoln we'll.
Few men knew what an in
tensely religious man Lincoln was"
Henderson said. MY first sight of
him impressed faith in religion up
on me wildly. l shall never forget
it. Lincoln lived in Springfield and
worked in Sullivan, Ill. My father
owned a farm half way between
those two places, and Lincoln often
spent the night in our home. The
first time I saw him was late al
night. He had travelled hard and
arrived at our house at late hour
THAT first night l had gone to
sleep when he came. l awakened
as he came into the room-a tall
gaunt figure, the tallest man 1 had
ever seen. He knelt and prayed
before he came to bed, and / shall
never forget the depth of his relig
| ious fervor.
"One day, when we were to have
contest in our Sunday school, tt
see which one could learn the mos
verses, father got sick and coulC
not take me to Sunday school on hi
horse.
| 81 was crying with disappoint
ment when Lincoln came in. WheI
he learned the reason for my tear
he begged to be allowed to take M
with him. His horse carried doubl'
and / rode behind him. When w,
reached our destination we fount
that my teacher was absent. 81
Lincoln took my class, heard us re
cite and gave me the prize. 1t wa
a Bible, and when he gave it t.
he wrote his name in it.
Every child for miles aroun,
loved Abraham Lincoln, and tn
world is realizing more and NOR
what was lost through his death
We need another Abraham Lincoln
in the world to-day"

DERIvATIONS OF GRASS WIDOW

How did the term grass widow
arise? The most popular deriva-
ton. according to Pearson's Weekly
is that grass" is corruption of
grace, the pronunciation of which.
in the Latin is grahse.
In the Middle Ages widows were
said to be under Gods grace" for
year after their husbands death.
at the end of which period they
might properly, if they wished, re-
marry, and so a widow in grace
meant a new widow.
About the same time the wives of
the marriages that were, in ex-
ceptional cases, annulled by the
church. began also to be spoken OF
as widows of grace, in the rather
different sense that they owed their
virtual widOwhOod to the grace
or favor of the church. So, then, a
grace-pronounced grass = widow
came to mean a wife, called a wild
Ow by courtesy.
Another explanation is that, eX-
actly as we now refer to a sham
party in a business transaction as a
man of straw" so an unmarried
woman with a child who explained
her condition by mention of a sup
posedly dead husband, was con-
temptuously spoken of as widow
of grass
1t is in this sense that the phrase
| is commonly used on the CONT
nent, whereas in this country the
term generally means a real wife
temporarily living away from her
husband

used to sing: I'VE won't go home

once a year,"
A well-educated person is one who
never believes it necessary to use a
phrase from q, foreign language,
because there is nothing in our
language to express it properly"
If all the pies used in the United
States of America on Christmas
were placed rim to rim they would
make double row across the CONT
nent. Christmas is surely some
day.
DR.. Bill Smith says the farm trac-
tor is all right in its way, but not
as convertible as the farm mule,
which used to be driven to the old

the man who believed last Christ
mas that he would be able the next
Christmas to do his Christmas
shopping earlier, to buy literally

A lady of stupendous dimentions
stylishly dressed, entered Paris
store, and seated herself to be
waited upon. Soon a baldheaded
clerk came up to serve her. After
rejecting this and that pair of
shoes she decided upon a pair of
brown Oxfords The clerk knelt
down to lace them, and she gazed
about the room. Suddenly : she
looked down and saw the mans
bald head. Thinking it was her
rolled top knee she modestly threw
her skirt over it. And, strange to
the situation, she did all in her
power to put the poor man at ease.
