AN ERUPTIVE YEAR

Last year unusually punctuated with earth
quake shocks but geologiss and astronomers say that
this year will be The record far indicates
that they may be right There have been several ses
mic movements noted in the western part of the
try Washington D. c., recently registered continuous
shocks at some distance lasting for an hour. Volcan
oes in Alaska are emitting smoke in great volume.
The situation is blamed mostly on the That
body is apparently overeectrified and exercises
responding effect this magnetic earth. The pull of
the moon and planets has considerable effect too The
crust of the earth is always cooling, and tending
to shrink and foundation strata of rock always
under stress strain, and little extra push pull
may cause a slip fall that shakes large part of
the globe.
Surely human affairs bad enough without
earthquakes to accompany them Or be that the
supersttous ancients right about it, and there
is connection between the two?
The Quakes this continent have been confined,
in historic times the Rockies and the Pacific Coast
region. Recent disturbances have occurred at wide
ly separated places all around the big rim of the Pa
cifc. The Atlantic rim is generally considered i'm
mune especially this side of it.
There prophecies early last year, however,
that Atlantic seaboard from Labrador to Georgia,
would be shaken and might sink into the possibly
about the time of the spring equinox Hardly anybody
took the matter seriously, but it makes interesting
speculation Can be that the prophets misook 1922

COAL FOR COAL

It is certainly hard on Germany to have coal from
the Ruhr shut off from the rest Of the country by the
French army. The Germans thus lose four-fifths of
their normal coal supply. If they cannot get fuel
from the Ruhr mines, they must buy it abroad go
without. They have little money to buy abroad. Mil
lions of German families therefore, will be cold and
thousands of German factories will shut down
This would be an intoerable picture if it were not
for another picture that rises to the mind of any
whose memories of the late have not faded 1t is
the picture of the French nation similarly deprived
by the Germans of all the fuel from the coal region of
northern France.
The French people did without their coal for four
years; and the Germans had such excuse for with
holding it as the French have Moreover, the
Germans obtain renewed coal supplies for the
whole country whenever they consent to produce coal
usual and give the French the quantity pledged
The French, during the German occupation had no
such choice
1t is only because the Germans took Frances coal
that France is in position to take Germanys
coal, and has the will to do so.
Morally and legally, Germany seems to have a
poor case for complaint But practically the situation
must be judged by different standards The principle
of AN eye for eye and tooth for tooth" will
never make France and Germany good neighbors. and
will never solve Europes problems

uAneY AND CONTENT

Hanpiness and contentment BRING
about also a rich social life. You get
together with your neighbors in mo-
ments of relaxation from your days
foil and enjoy intercourse with them.
Clubs and organizations unite you IN
bonds that hold you together for one
purpose or another.
score Of other things might be
mentioned, but space forbids. For
instance. there is the library, with its
rich storehouse of the best in the
worlds literature Also there are the
material things that minister to the
comfort and welIbeing of the people.
Among them are paved or macadamlz-
ed streets. concrete sidewalks, corner
lights. police protection and q fire de-
partment: electric or some other sys-
tenn of lighting for the home, gas to
make kitchen work easier, water, sew
err and similar improvements and con-
veniences.
The stronger the community spirit
the more of these there are. The taxes
you pay settles the bills for the
things already acquired; the weight
of your cooperation with the progress
sive leaders assures others in the fut-
ure. Be a hometown man all along

All Owe Obligations
to Home Community
BACKBONE OF COMMUNITY sERV
ICE FOUND in SUPPORT NER-
CHANTS GIVE RESIDENTS
HELP BOYS AND GIRLS

What do you owe your home town?
Whatever the bill is, none will be
presented to you for payment. The
debt is an intangible one, no matter
how large it is. If you do not realize
the size of it, nobody will try to tell
ycu. You know what the town has
done for you, and you know better
than anybody else what you ought to
do for the town.
Two questions may serve to bring
the issue home to you:
When your wife and children were
critically i'll, was it the doctor from
the city who pulled them through?
You didn't even think of calling
him. Your first thought was of home
doctor, and he saved the lives of
your dear ones.
CREDIT is EXTENDED
When you lost your job, who gave
you credit and tided you over the
winter?
1t certainly wasn't the store in the
city that advertises bargains" for
the country shopper. The merchant
on ''Front Street" or main Street
stood by you then, as he has for
others, and as he will again some
time when the emergency arises.
If these things have not happened
to you, they have happened to your
neighbors, and you know about them
Mere money cannot pay for disinter-
ested service such as the doctor and
the merchant render under the cir
cumstances. And they are not cited
with the idea of Weakening feeling
of obligation toward those individuals
who render us signal service on ex.
traordinary occasions. They are
brought up, rather, with the view tc
making every man, woman and child
realize his partnership in the com
munity and his responsibility in that
partnership which means so much tC
him.
RENDER COMMUNITY SERVICE
The doctor and the merchant are
not the only men toward whom others
in the community owe this obligation
to maintain the community as self
sustaining entity. They are simply
given as examples of how the pro
position works out concretely. They
are among the leaders who have con
secrated what they are and what
they possess to the service of the
town in which they live. and all fol
