(RY JOSEPH JACOB,

The expected reduction Of taxes
by legislative action so far has failed
to materialize. Everybody is eating
cake as usual, and it is pretty hard
to cut down the necessary amount 0,
dough" and stu have the regulation
amount of cake on hand for general
distribution.

The gloom spreaders steadily pre-
dicted that in due time a new Ger
man army which was being kept in
hiding would emerge to jump onto
France, The hour for such emerging
has been striking for two weeks past,
yet the army fails to materialize for
the simple reason that II always was
but phantom except In the mind of
the professional DOGGY manufactur-

Minute Sermon

I Cor. 14:S. For if the trumpet give
an uncertain sound, acho shall prepare
himself for battles
mi HE press, ever alert for piquant
~ news, is making much of the con-
troversy raging at the present time be-
tween the conservative and radical
schools of theology. This struggle is
not a new one. 1t has been going on
now for almost two thousand years.
Much strife has found its genesis in
this controversy and yet no disputed
question has been settled.
It Is the opinion of the writer that
every man has the right to personally
follow and preach what he believes,
if it is not inimical to society. There
is however a right place and time for
all preaching or teaching. Certainly
no man who denies the Divinity of
Christ has right to preach in Chris
tian church. The man who refuses to
accept the Bible as inspired, has no
moral right in Gods house of wor-
ship. As to time, the sick patient will
not be helped by conversation that
destroys his faith in the doctor. Peo-
pie who are living fairly decent will
not be helped by having that faith de-
stroyed.
Why religious controversy? Sim
ply because every unit of an egotisti-
cal humanity inherently believes that
there is but one correct measure, one
true Interpretation and one sound sys-
tenn of ethics or politics, which is of
course, its own. We shall never be
agreed, but may we not have some
strong vital message of certain sound
which shall hearten us to say as did
the Apostle Paul, 81 know in whom
l have believed and am persuaded that
He is able to keep that which 1
have committed unto Him, against
that dayl" Is it not better to build
than to destroy? Let the trumpet
sound for positive message to wait
ing mankind and give the signal to
advance against evil everywhere.

HIRE OUT TO YOURSELF

Some day when you feel gay, and think
you'll need a raise for your valuable SER
vices, I'll tell you what to do. You put
the shoe on the other foot and hire out to
yourself, just for day or two. Put your
self in the employers place and keep tab
on the work you do.
Let's see You were late this morning.
Only ten minutes? That's true, but whose
time was it? You took pay for it, there
fore you sold it. You can't sell eight
hours of time and keep part of it-not un-
less you give short measure.
Then again, how about the customer
you rubbed the wrong way? Not your
funeral, you say? Maybe; but you're
paid for building trade, not driving it
away.
How about the work you had to do
over? You're not paid to be careless,
you're paid to de work we'll; not twice,
hut once that's enough. Then do it right.
That's what you would say if you worked
for yourself.
Hire out, then, to a man named "You"
and imagine it's up to you to meet the
payroll Then see what difference it
makes in point of view. Say, try it once
for day or two.-Ex.

PLAY THE GAME SQUARE

When you get up in the morning, take
look in the glass. How do you look to
yourself2 80
If you can look yourself right in the eye
and not be ashamed of anything you've
done, you are far better than many
man with lots more money than you.
OF course it is nice to be successful, to
have money. No matter what the game is
whether it's marbles or business-it is
nicer to win than to lose. Success brings
happiness, but it must be real success. If
you've cheated to win, you've destroyed
the pleasure. There is no satisfaction of
being ahead of the other fellow, if down in
your heart of hearts you know he is right
fully entitled to be ahead of you.
Win if you can win fairly. The know
ledge that there isn't page in your past
to which you dare not turn, that there isn't
a man in the world can put his finger on
any crooked thing you've done, the feeling
that whatever happens you have played the
game straight, is worth more than all the
money and all the power and all the posi-
ton in the world.
If you are in business, no matter what
the other fellow does, be content with
smaller profits and a square deal. Clean
money pays best. Crooked dividends bring
rinkles and worries with them.
1t is worth lot to yourself to know
you're square. 1t is worth while to keep
on speaking terms with yourself.-Seleeted.

IMMIGRATION PROPAGANDA.

II Is not true, as claimed by Fred
erick j. Haskin In his syndicate let
ers to various newspapers, these be-
ing permeated with propaganda in
behalf of big business, that the Amer
lean people have receded from their
postwar position upon the matter of
restricting foreign immigration.
p To prove this palpably false claim
by Mr.. Haskin he quotes a paragraph
from a circular sen out by the First
National bank of Philadelphia, alleg-
ing a labor shortage and setting forth
that the people of this country feel
that they have made a mistake in re-
strieting immigrants to 3 per CEN of
the number of each nationality in
the country in 1910
In tAe first place, there Is no labor
shortage. Statements to the contrary
are not only deliberate ~falsehoods
but are told as such brazenly when
everybody with ordinary intelligence
in the country knows the contrary
to be the truth. One might conceive
OF an excuse for framing up a false
hood OF this sort IL there were n
chance of fooling anybody and of get
ting away with 1t to the extent of ac-
complishing a purpose, but to say a
hing like that when every person in
the United States above a half-wit
knows 1t to be false, not only reflects
upon the ~veracity of the propagandist
but has the further effect of putting
him down as being an unutterably
crude falsifer at that.
For more than three years there
has been an admitted labor surplus.
The unemployed have been counted
in the millions and have approached
the tens of millions. Actual suffering
for the want OF the ordinary necessi-
ties have been poorly concealed In
every part OF Tho country. II there
hns been a slight improvement that

HOW 1T WORKS OUT.

This Is once when memory runneth
to a contradiction, as it were.
Tehre Is hardly anybody so young
as to have forgotten the time, just at
the close of the world war, when the
sugar people were pleading with the
American public for a protective
tariff. else they would be ruined.
And what do you behold today?
Read the sugar quotations and you
are RECALLED with a picture OF the
same old cycle. Instead of the pitia-
BILE 81 for sugar that was all that
stood between the producers and CIV
ing 1t away free, II mounts to 81
and in triumphant If not defiant
tones tells the people to take 1t or
leave it.
A shortage is alleged. Yet only
last year the plant went out that
there were not ships enough to trans
port the gigantic surplus from Cuba.
Surely that surplus cannot have been
consumed so soon. Must there not
be some few bags of it left to apply
TO this years distressing shortage?
Truly, the ways of special privilege
are mysterious and hard to reconcile.

Nichols conducted a Sunday School
Bon Fire. after a brief talk during
which Mr.. Nichols stated that this

the Sunday school of some undesir-
able things and he proceeded to con-
duct bon fire.
He showed the school a perfect
white card which was clean and per-

should be, and then Willie Behind
hand presented a card for the fire
from which was torn one end; Susie
Stayaway brought. her card all black;

ing that he didn't take care with his
work, and Joe Stingyboy gave a
card for the fire with just one Lin
coin penny attached TO It,, showing
that he was to do away with stingi-
ness.
All of these cards were placed in
recepticle and Mr.. Nichols touched
the match to them and they were
burned, thus, cleaning up the Sunday
school from all unworthy things and
it is now ready for the fall and win
ter's work. After the bon fire, which
was entered into with much enthusi-

alike, they united in singing Praise

The exercises closed with the pro-

Junior department, and a vocal solo
by Miss Leslie Kelley and singing
the closing hymn by the school and

evidently professionals. numbering
at least three or four.
The entrance was made at the rear
of the store. A large charge of
nitro glycerine was used and many
horse and bed blankets found in the
store were packed about the safe
to muffle the noise. The contents of
the safe were gone over and the
money, about $3.50. was taken and
about $45 which belonged to the
+ A book in which were $35, also the
property of the band was dropped
on the floor and missed.
The store was ransacked and goods
were taken which included cutlery,
cigars, ladies' underware, silk hose,
hair nets, blankets, whole webs Of
cloth and manv other articles The
robbers came and departed by auto
mobile. Sunday morning Lester
Walker, q son-in- law of Mr.. Saun-
ders who is a barber by trade, went
into. the store for his clippers and
found that a break had been made
and notified Mr.. L. c. williams, who
is a druggist next to the Saunders
store, VINO was IN his store sunday
morning and also Mr.. Saunders, and
when they entered the store letting
in draft the blankets which were
smouldeiing, began to blaze up and
considerable damage was done by
fire before. the three men were able
to put it out Had there been a
draft in the store Saturday night
fire which might have swept good
portion of the village would have
been started. The damage Is part
ly covered by insurance. Sheriff

The robbers used an electric drill
which they attached to the current
by taking out the bulb of the light
hanging over the safe. They padded
the window with blankets, which was
located directly back of the safe. For
several nights people in Athens have
heard car driving quietly about
and now think it may have been the
robbers who were prospecting
