GOOD MORNING.

How many of US stop when we say
Good Morning" to think what that
phrase means? Nobody knows how it
started, but he or she to whom the
idea first came was a poet. For in
those two words lives the essence of
a prayer. OF course, we who say it
hope that our own morning may be
Good" goes without saying. But do
we go a step further, and breathe a
prayer that the day of those we meet
may also be filled with happiness?
The full phrase of our ancestors was
God give thee good morrow"
This would be a great old world if
we really meant what we said, if when
we greeted our acquaintances, we real
ly wanted their days to be filled with
the joy of living. If we did we'd go
out and help to make them SO.

HAZEL

AZEL is a typically modern prod
IL uct. 1t has sprung into popular
usage in comparatively recent years,
but the origin dates back to the old
Icelandic regime and the word hasl,
signifying the color light brown The
fruit of the hazelnut tree bears that
same indescribable hue. There are
few instances in genealogical history
where names were given to denote
color, unless violet, rose and d few
others. may be taken to represent a
color rather than u flower; so Hazel
bears a rather unusual distinction.
BY a curiously significant relation,
it may be said to be an equivalent of
Evelyn, since the latter comes from
the Latin word ayellana, meaning
h~azelnut. Etymologieally speaking,
Hazel is one of the most unusual and
difficult names in the feminine lexicon,
which may account for its popularity
and plquancy. 1t has found great e.

If the label on your paper doesn't
read 1924 or better, you're behind on
your subscription to The ~Pleasantville
Press and should hasten to square up.
With the high cost of print paper and
of production, it's a desperate task
to furnish a weekly newspaper for
$1.50 a year even when all pay up
promptly, and when there are lag
CARDS on the list the task becomes
well nigh hopeless. Dear subscriber,
don't lag. You may miss your best

the serious problem of supplying
France with wheat in order to pre-
vent the price Of bread going up. Con.
tinual rains, which have fallen
throughout Europe, have shattered
the hope of a good European crop
Early IN June the French ministry Of
crop would exceed last years by 49,
would have sufficient wheat to pre-
vent the price of bread from going up
Last week, however. the minister OF
agriculture indicated that this years
crop probably would be inferior to
last years crop.
Crop Shortage in Europe.
In the meantime, Central European
states, from which France could have
covered the deficit by buying at a
reasonable price, owing to the de-
preciated rate of exchange toward
france, have announced deficits In
their own crops. Rumania and Ser
bia cultivated areas inferior to last
years. and no wheat is available for
expectation, while Hungary, despite
intensive cultivation. shows a deficit
of 100000 bushels of wheat.
Russia, from which Premier Her
riot hoped to obtain a certain amount
of cereals, is on the verge Of famine,
owing to the failure of it's crops and
production in Algeria, and Morocco
is insufficient to cover the French
deficit. Under the circumstances the
eyes Of FRENCH experts are directed
to the United States and South Amer
