ter the superintendents nod. We
understand the superintendents
didn't even bat an eye when these
north end folks were asking for
their rights. Our forefathers may
have come from strain of mon
keys; but methinks our offsprings
won't have to wait as long to look
back as from here to the monkey
period of man, if there was such a
period, to call us fools. Mrs. Nan
Argo of Cumberland, who has been
with her brother Henry Argo the
past four weeks, expects to return
home this week. Mr. Argo is
thought dangerously i'll, with heart
trouble. Edgar Little, who bought
the Samuel Ray (Sprague farm
which was sold at partition, will not
move until about the beginning of
the school year. During the decor
alton services at Meigs Sunday ev-
ening, we were impressed with that
phrase Dead, yet speaking" when
we came to the grave of Isaac White
house. The members stopped and
talked of the life of this man. How
he made all his joys and sorrows
come out for the good of the order.
Even when butted by the ram it
was for the good of the order. j.
We were amused not long since to
hear a prominent business man tell
ing a travelling man how it tickled
the farmers to have them brag on
their live stock, when in fact the

RELIGION FOR THE ARMY

II feel personally" says Secretary
Weeks, '.as all men must do who
have passed the meridian of life, a
growing inclination toward religion
and religious life. | am fearful
about the results that have come
and are coming from the late war.
The civilization of the world is
threatened -
Mr.. Weeks is right in believing
that this civilization needs stabiliz
ing, right too in believing that re-
ligion might save civilization by pre-
venting another slump into the
chaos and madness which accompa-
MED and followed the European
conflict But this cannot be done by
religion that gets behind opposing
armies, fights on both sides and
splits $3.50 on international dis
putes. Such faith cannot save
civilization, cannot even save itself.
for it will go down with the fall Of
the civilization of which it was
part. The religion that is to save
civilization must prevent war, must
stand in the way of war altogether.
The Occident cannot afford to wor-
ship a god of battles.
1t was for just such a religion to
save civilization that Woodrow Will
son gave all his strength, and
mighty intellect, even to the point of
sending himself into the very
shadow Of his Golgotha. What was
his reward for such a sacrifice? Pos
terity will look back upon it as one
of the darkest spots in American
history.

SHOULD BE ATTENDED TO

Our Meigs scribe calls attention
this week to an important matter
in reference to motorists going
down the Elmer Harris hill beyond
Harmony Hill. AS he states, the
watering place for teams is just
around sharp curve, and when
teams are being watered there it Of
ten happens that the wagon or rig
is we'll out into the road, with barely
enough room to pass. A driver es-
pecially one not familiar with the
road, coming down the hill at any
degree of speed, is likely to crash
into a team and vehicle if stopping
at the watering place, or if they
happen to be backing away from it,
it is still more dangerous, and we
are informed that there have been
several narrow escapes from serious
smashups, at this place. This wa
tering place is a very much needed
convenience. and should be main
tanned by all means, but as suggest
ed it would be much safer if moved
down the hill farther. so that
drivers going down the hill could
see it before coming right onto it,
The state highway department is
doing commendable work in erect
ing substantial fences painted white.
around dangerous road curves, and
let us hope that something Will be
referred to, and that it be done be-
fore some bad accident happens.

WARNING-TO FARMERS

The Inland Fertilizer company of
Salt Lake City, through their ira
yelling representatives, has been
making the statement that they have
fertilizer which will control wire
worms and cutworms. There have
been, no records whatever to show
that any such material will control
these insects. When the represen-
tative has been pinned right down
to facts, he has been unable to give
any conclusive evidence of such con-
troll. Furthermore, he does not
seem to know the difference between
one insect and another and it is
questionable If he really knows what
his material will do as an insect
control agent. He has been able, in
some instances, to interest farmers
because of the fertilizers so-called
insecticidal properties.
We are publishing this word of
warning, which has been sent us
by the state entomologist, so that
you may use it as you desire. II
this agent appears in your commun-
ity, l would suggest that you ask
him If he will give a money-back
guarantee If farmer purchases this
material for insect control.
