Brutal Persecution.

The near bolshevist and parlor
socialist element have long been
apologizing for the Russian soviet
government, claiming that it will
gradually settle down to reasonable
methods But this point of view
has been given a severe shock in the
recent execution of the Vicar
general of the Roman Catholic
church in that country, Mgr
Butchkayitch.
Ii this prelate had committed any
reasonable acts, the government
would no doubt have been prompt
to state what they were. 1t would
seem that his principal offense was
opposition to the policy of the soviet
government, in refusing to hand
over the sacred objects in his church
which the government set out to
seize.
To visit him with the death penal
ty for a course in which the great
majority of Americans would con-
slider him fully justified, shows how
far the soviet government fails to
live up to the standards of modern
civilization.
1t is claimed that the official re-
cords of the soviet government show
that they have executed 100000
persons since they gained power in
1917. The apologists for that
government are very bitter because
a few people are still imprisoned
in this country for violation of the
espionage act or for hampering the
government in its efforts to pro-
secute the recent war. Yet these
same people excuse the soviet
government, which has crushed down
free speech more remorselessly than
any tyrant of history. If free
speech is desirable in America, why
not in Russia also?
The soviet government reveals its
true nature by its bitter hostility to
the Christian religion The Savior
of mankind taught the world to i'm
prove its condition by justice and
love and tolerance and cooperation.
The soviets try to improve it by
numbering multitude of people that
do not accept their theories.
Naturally the Christian would turn
W. tn disguest from such an exhibition
of intolerance.

The Country school. History.

County children sometimes look at
their schools with a bit of contempt.
They perhaps have visited larger
places and seen handsomer school
buildings than their own If they
are still attending a small school
house of the older country type, it
may look insignificant to them
Teachers and parents might well
point to the past of the school
house, and speak of the men and
women now successful in life, who in
former years have studied in that
building. They can show that that
schoolhouse has sent out a large
company Of people who have done
splendid work, and some of whom
have gained fortune or fame for
themselves. There is a lot of in
spiration in the history of every
country school

Lighting Country Homes.

Physicians claim there are more
weak eyes in the country than the
city Cities have had up to re-
Gently rather better lighting facili-
ties than those prevailing in country
towns, although to-day a great many
villages and outlying homes have ex-
cellent lighting plants.
But even if home has no
electricity or gas within reach, ii can
have perfectly good lighting facili-
ties. The old kerosene lamp if it is
clean and if it has a good and well
shaded light, can give all the
illumination needed for reading.
Many people spoil their eyes by
using too few or too little lights. 1t

kerosene if your eyes need better
evening light for reading.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

The writer recently spent several
weeks in Turkey, Egypt and some
of the countries of Southern Europe.
One cannot make even the most
superficial visit to these far-away
lands and not be impressed first of
all by the lack of progress as COM
pared with American standards.
Also one need look no further than
these regions for the most graphic
illustration of the fact that there can
be no national progress excepting
where there is a background of
individual thrift, education and
ambition.
One views in all of these countries
the landmarks of ancient glory
temples and palaces of great beauty;
numerous work of art reminiscent of
the golden age of the painter and the
sculptor; foundations and ruins of
monumental structures where orat-
DRY and the drama were born and
where the philosophers of the ages
first were uttered.
1t IS most homogeneous to note the
poverty, squa'Nr and illiteracy that
exists among many of those who live
today amid the ruins of those ancient
splendors
In witnessing these spectacles one
is most forcibly impressed with the
fact that no matter how powerful a
nation may be, how exalted its
civilization or how splendid its ac-
complishments in the arts and
sciences, there can be no per-
manency and progress unless the
personal lives and habits of the
people are sound.
Civilization, after all, is just mat
ter of what we as individuals do day
by day.
Had the people of Egypt, for ex-
ample, practieed individual thrift, as
Millions of Americans know it today,
through the many centuries that
have elapsed since the days of their
ancient wealth and power, what
tremendous force in human pro-
gress they would be today
No nation can rise higher than the
level of individual thrift and educa-
ton among its people; nor will any
nation ever sink lower than that
same level.

Simeon Strunsky pleads for more
and better listeners in society. lie
thinks il would Re a great thing for
any social gathering if there We're one
good listener present. This listener
must confess that he has not read IF
Winter COMES" lie has not read any
thing, In fact, says the Wichita Eagle.
Thus he gives the others a chance to
tell all about it, and everybody Is
happy. There Is much to be said for
the listener If he is a good feeder"
he helps to make those about him
feel important And. feeling thus, they
are happy. Also, the good listener is
loved by ALL The fellow who has a
stale story to tell loves the man who
admits eagerly that he has not heard
it. The listener, however, must be
fully as well informed and as well
equipped as the taIker. He must listen
intelligently. He must feed in a word
or a phrase, or, in emergencies,
whole sentence, in order to demon
strate that he IS really worth while
talking to. OF course, the takers are
talking largely 70 hear themselves
talk, and to impress the others who
happen to be within range. but they
will not feel right about IT at all I'M

Morris Burt and Herbert Emunson,
who purchased the interests in the

pany Of local citizens.

the various departments, and no
doubt it will result in better and
newsier paper.

Heat Injurious to Books.

It is undeniahly true that the dry
heat which we use In our American
homes is rumous To furniture, books
and pictures. This, of course, can be
avoided by forcing damp air into the

Peanut Association
Considers Plans to
Secure Warehouses

ALBANY, Ga, June 29.-One of
the problems of the newly organ
lied Georgia Peanut Growers Co
operative association is the ware
housing and milling of peanuts, and
to help solve this problem the as
ISOLATION plans an immediate surI ey
of its territory to see what it's ware
housing facilities are. 1t is not the
purpose of the association, at least
at this time, it IS stated, to build
warehouses. Rather. the plan is to
lease them. Abe d. Waldauer, a
member of Aaron Sapiro's Organiza
ton, New York, has recommended
that this survey be made and that
warehouses be leased. Mr.. Wal
dauer handled the warehousing
problems of the different tobacco as
sociations in Kentucky, of the po-
tato growers in Maine and of other
cooperative associations.
Mr.. Waldauer's recommendation
is that for the present warehouses
be leased instead of buying them
through subsidiary corporations,
and that milling and cleaning be
contracted to some established
plant, rather than that the associa-
ton should attempt to acquire
plants. Ha believes that reasonable
terms can We obtained on leases and
milling contracts on account of the
large percentage of the crop that
the association controls. He ex-
planned, however, how plants might
be acquired if the association de-
cided later to secure them.
Perfecting the organization. since
the election of officers Monday, is
going forward rapidly. The new eX-
ecutive committee will employ
general manager, a sales and adj
vertising manager, an office man
ager, director of field service and
other employees to carry on the work
of the association.

Suuar Market

NEW YORK, June 29.-The early raw
sugar market was firmer, bat there was. no
increase in the demand. There was a sale
last night of 5000 bags of Cubas to an
operator at cents cost and freight, equal
to SIS cents for centrifugal. Today there
were no offerings of Cubas but holders of
duty free sugars were asking 14c, equa
TO 7.03c for Cuban centrifugal.
Following the steadier feeling abroad
and reports of better inquiry for refined
sugar in the English market raw sugar
futures were firmer. There was scattered
covering for over the weekend and some
buying by commission houses and Euro
pean interests, but, after showing ad-
vsnces of 81 to &c points. prices eascd
off under realizing. At noon values were
Is to ii points net higher.
The market for refined sugar was I'M
changed, with all refiners accepting
orders at 9.25c for fine graduated Bust
ness, however, was light, and what little
demand was in evidence was being sup
piled from second hands at prices below
refiners quotations.
