After all has been said about the
need of easier loans for farmers, the
cold fact remains that what the farm
er needs right now more than longer
credit and lower interest rates is in
creased demand and better price fol
his product. What he needs is better
opportunity to make money on what
his labor produces rather than the Op
pOrtunity to borrow more money. Nc
business that is on a paying basis
needs to hunt hard for money.
All the legislation man can devise
will fail to make money easy to gel
for the industry that is not paying
Under present conditions, movement
from the city to the farms has been
reversed. There is a shortage OF
houses in almost every town in the
land. Demand for farm lands is very
light and there is not the rush to open
up new farms that there was.
These are the conditions, not cas-.
Ter money that win put farming back
on it's feet again and the farmer who
and his head in the game" b0rrows
little and works hard, will reap event
ual prosperity far surer than the av-
erage town business man.
The conditions above outlined are
surely working toward increased de.
mand for farm products. Dairy prices
show it now. No product on earth is
so sensitive to undergraduates as
food products, for everyone must eat
When the slowing up of farm devel-
Opment results in inadequate supply
prices of farm products will soar and
the farmer will prosper abundantly.
Then will come another rush to the
farm, money will seek farm invest
ments, land prices will advance every
month, (maybe every morning). farm
development will be accelerated, new
farms opened up. More farms will
spell more farm competition Just the
same as in any other business. In
creased production will again result in
lighter demand-lOwer prices The
bubble of inflated land values will
Durst, money will scurry to cover again
and conditions will be right back where
we started, at the beginning of the
cycle
Lower interest rates would help the
farmer no doubt, but better marketing
methods through sane organization of
fer greater assurance of getting him
somewhere.
1t isn't so much what congress does
to or for the farmer as what he does
for himself with his head and hands
that will count.
And that's true for all of us.

CHRISTMAS

Again the glad Christmas time is
nearly here. We are reminded of it,
whichever way we turn. Church So
cieties are preparing their Christmas
programs; the women's societies have
had their annual sales of donated
pretty things for Christmas gifts; the
little children are talking of Santa
Claus again and are on their good be-
havior; store windows and public
places have taken on an air OF Christ
mas dress extra counters have been
placed in the stores to hold the many
Christmas goods and novelties; Christ
mas trees have been brought to town ;
we have the snow, the ice and the cold
which we of Northern Wisconsin assO-
ciate with the great holiday. This is
the season of the year when the heart
seems to respond more generously to
the laughter and the appeal of the lit
tie folks. We are glad again to well
come the pretty little stories Of Santa
Claus, and we love to let our minds
wander back into the past, and per-
haps some particular Christmas stands
out more clearly in our minds than
any other. For most Of us it is a
dreamy, happy retrospect.
What will this Christmas bring?
Are we doing what we can to make
the day stand out in the hearts of our
friends? Not all of us will enjoy
Christmas, but we should make it as
joyous for our fellow beings as we
can. Unfortunate conditions come
about, even on the eve of Christmas,
and even in this most prosperous coun-
try of all countries. SO we should re-
member the less fortunate and help to
alleviate if we cannot eliminate dis
tress Bring it about that the Christ
mas of 1922 is the happiest, most
glorious Christmas of their entire
lives. Let us carry a message to the
fathers and mothers of the little folks,
as well as to the little folks them
message of good will and ten
derness of generous thoughtfulness if
possible, of opportunity. The spirit
of Christmas is in giving to make 9th
ers happy, and who is happier and
more contented than one who has Civ
Ell generously, but judiciously?

Church support is an obligation
Church attendance is duty. Wor-
ship is absolutely essential. And ev-
cry honest man and woman discharges
these duties and obligations every
week. Contributions of time, talent,
thought, and interest are demanded.
1t is an honor to give. It is an hon
or, privilege, and duty to give. We
are Gods stewards. All we have has
been entrusted to us. 1t is our duty
to support the church. The Christian
church has created and added fifty
cents of every dollars worth of prop
erty in America.
Every time one goes to church he
should make an honest, conscientious
contribution to the great work Of the
church. When the collection plate
reaches one his honor, sincerity, and
character are Immediately tested and
when he, because he imagines no eye
sees him, puts upon the plate pennies
when he ought to put pounds brands
himself before God and the Bar of

FORCE EUROPE TO PAY

Why the public does not rise on its
launches and burst into roar of
laughter that would echo around the
world when suggestions are made that
Uncle Sam should cancel Europe's war
debts, like the wisdom of the Lord
passeth understanding.
Last year the easy Americans paid
Germany $96O,OOO,OO0 for worthless
marks. AS fast as German printing
presses could turn out the financial
junk good American dollars were
poured into Germany to bring them
to the land of the free
In addition to this stupendous fol-
ly American tourists spent in Ger
many $3.50, 100000 which foots up just
about Ii per cent of the entire war
debt. And the end is not yet.
American money even now is turning
the wheels of German industry.
American brains are even now work
ing to help solve the German national
problem.
This year American children will
play with German toys to the exclu-
sion of toys of American manufac-
ture
Summed up, America stands today
the worlds great easy mark. Charged
with being a nation of dollar worship
pers we find ourselves the easy VIC
tins of every shrewd European trick
-ster and governmental propaganda.
It is time we put definite end to

administration has incorporated in a

God as thief. He is perfectly will
ing to pay any extravagant sum to go
to theater, or questionable show,
and then go into the House of God and
lay upon the plate pennies. He owes
God everything.
Many ehurchgoers today are church
cheats, robbing God, soaring their
conscience, and leaving unpaid hon
est obligations. The spirit of cheating
soon fastens itself upon some men, and
they actually become so dishonest
that they actually stay away from
church in order to avoid the test to
which their characters will be put.
The average churchgoer in America
gives three cents per Sunday for the
greatest blessing ever bestowed upon
mankind Therefore the average
church cheat will have to face the Bar
of Judgment and be branded as a
church fraud rObbing God, depriving
the church of her dues, and prevent
ing the spread of the gospel and the
blessing of salvation to thousands.

FOUND GUILTY OF
CRIME CHARGED
Jury Returns Verdict
After Being Out All
Night

The jury on the case of State
against Charles Gray returned a
verdict of guilty in Caledonia
county court Friday morning af-
ter being out all night. Gray was
charged with a statutory offense
against Silvia Woodard, the four
teen-year old daughter of Charles
Woodland of Danville on June /,
1922. The case went to the jury
Thursday afternoon after two
days trial. Judge Moulton has not
yet imposed sentence
The Wheelock bastardy case Of
Lila c. Miles against Fri f..
Leavitt was begun Friday morn
ing. This case was tried early in
the present term, but the jury dis
agreed. Considerable time was
consumed in drawing the jury for
this case, as those who served on
the first trial were disqua,ifi ad
and many of the other regular
jurymen had heard a part of the
evidence at that time. The panel
was finally completed with two
talesmen, c. +. Merrill and f. A
Morgan both of St. Johnsbury.
The others were |. H. Goodwin.
Hiram Cutting, H. W. Hosford,
w. w. Houghton, James Lamond,
Samuel Mills, John H. Nelson, e.
w. Powers, F. W. Taylor and F..
H. Quimby.
The testimony as introduced is
much the same as at the first trial
of the case. The plaintiffs evidence
was to the effect that on January
%, 1921, a girl baby was 5orr to
Lila Miles at the home Of hel
mother, Mrs. Kate Miles, in Shelf
field. DR.. S. A. Jones was the at
tending physician. The plaintiff
claims that Fri Leavitt of Whee.
lock is the child's father. The de-
fense is a general denial
Miss Miles attorney is Gu1 W.
Hill of st. Johnsbury and w A.
Dutton of Hardwick and ". W.
Reirdon of Barton are the attor-
neys for Leavitt.
The jurors not on this panel
have been excused until next
Tuesday morning at . O'Clock.

executive officers the opportunity
to further their plans of securing
uniform working conditions on all
roads.
You will remember that in the
Fall and Winter of 1917 the rail
roads had broken down and could
no longer fulfill the duties impos-
ed upon them. When the director
general appointed by the president
took over the railroads we laid be-
for him the problems that con-
fronted labor.
You will recall that few
months previous there had been
a strike on the Boston and
Maine There had been no inter
ruption of traffic but this strike
was one of the object lessons of
what the employees of other
roads might do. The director
general appointed a committee to
meet a representative committee
of railroad men to enter into an
agreement so as to insure the con-
tinuous operations of the rail
roads.
We went through the period of
government control without the
slightest opposition or trouble. We
had uniform wages and working
conditions. Because the roads
were working for uniform condi-
tions in railroad operations we
felt that uniform conditions as
applied to labor was equally just.
You pay the same fare from Lyn-
donvllle to Boston as you do from
Boston to Lyndonville. This is
true in every part of the country
The railroad demanded and secur-
ed uniform rates, why should We
not be granted uniform working
conditions? These arguments we
put up to the director general and
we got a National Agreement.
Immediately after the railroads
were returned to private owner
ship we sought through members
of Congress to provide means for
a continuation of the National
Agreement.
