RADIO AND RELIGION

One of the evidences that radio
is fast becoming more than a toy is
the way in which religious organiza-
lions are taking it up. The churches
were at first dubious about it. They
figured that once the resident of the
farm, or of towns like Mountain
Home got radio sets they would stay
at home on Sunday listening to "big"
preachers in Chicago or New York
instead of attending their own houses
of worship. But instead radio seems
to have increased the desire to go to
church-maybe because they are. not
perfected yet and a fellow needs so
much more religion and patience
while listening over one. But, the
fact that they are bringing church
services to hundreds of invalids and
to shut-ins throughout the country,
to people not physically able to go
to church, is a great thing in radios
favor. Now some of the largest
churches are spending hundreds of
dollars yearly to get sermons to those
who cannot leave their homes or
their beds. This alone entities radio
to be classed as another modern Cod
send.

ATTEND DIVINE WORSHIP

Among those attending the Pyth-
ian Service at the Episcopal church
in Glenns Ferry were: Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. C. Helm, Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Will
son, Mrs. Thomas Trathen, Mrs.
Florence Clark and Mrs. M e. House.
Rev. A. L. Wood delivered a very
splendid address in commemoration
of the sixtieth anniversary of the
founding of the Order of the knights
of Pythias. The church was taste
fully decorated. The emblems of "T.
C. B." and P. l.. E. & F." taking
prominent place. Good music was
enjoyed, the large choir rendering
two beautiful anthems.
All returned feeling they were
richer in thoughts and with a de-
sire to exemplify more and more in
their daily lives the beautiful lessons
taught in Pythianism.

in recent figures sent out by the gov
eminent some ground on which to
base his argument, for Uncle Sam
says there were only 1928, 900
horses in the country at the begin
ming of this year as compared with
21,555,000 in 1918. He also says
the present number of 1horses on
farms is IL per cent less than the
number used in 1913, although the
number of other farm animals in
creased 100000 in the same period.
At first glance these figures seem
more important than they really are.
The animals have diminished in
quantity but increased in quality.
Plugs have been discarded for the
better-bred work horses, and the lat
ter continues to hold their own. The |
work horse has place in agriculture
hat the tractor and truck have not |
Tiled, and possibly never will And
he man who argues that motors will
lisplace them probably won't be liv-
ng to see it when the time does

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
IS THIS FAIR9

We know our representatives at
Washington are busy men, but they
knew they would be If elected, so
they have no just cause for complaint
if we suggest just one more matter
deserving their attention. Every
man we have talked to around Noun
tain Home wants taxes revised, If it
can be done without endangering
necessary revenues. And all of us
believe it can. But just as soon as
this tax problem is settled we want
our congressman, the gentleman
representing this district, to call at

tention of his colleagues to the fact
that the U. S. government is now
and has been for years engaging in
an unfair competition with the print
ers of this country, and especially
those who maintain job offices from
which they must get revenue to run
their newspapers.
In printing return envelope cards
the government is in direct compe-
tition with thousands of printers,
who are also taxpayers. This work,
if left where it rightfully belongs,
would be sufficient to insure employ
ment for many more than are now
employed, and would not interfere
with the business of making stamped
envelopes The government alone
should place the stamps on them
but there is no more justice in print
ing the return cards than there
would be in opening up a big gro
Gerry store in Washington from which
the public could order its sugar, cof-
fee and other commodities.
AS we look at it, this government
is too big to steoD to small things,
and entering into unfair competition
with the printers of the nation is
certainly to be classed as small work.
That's the message we want our rep
resentative to pass on to his col
leagues in congress-and he'll find !
plenty of supporters when he does
so.
