GETTING BETTER


Something is always coming up
to make us believe that this old
world is getting better. The latest
is the determination of the Meth
odists of the North and those of the
South to bury so deep it can never
be resurrected the old Ratchet that
has kept them apart since the days
of slavery. Both sides at a recent
conference passed resolutions favor
ing a merger, with all differences
forgotten and old scars buried from
sight forever. Here and there, of
course, is a voice OF protest, but
members OF the denomination we
have talked to around Mountain
Home seem to feel with the majority,
that the time has come to lay aside
old prejudices and worship under
one name and one banner All of
which appears to be a sensible thing
to do since, after all, both sides
are worshipping the same God and
both sides trying to get to the same
place.

BoBBED HAIR

The papers of the country have
had lot to say about bobbed hair,
and for months it has furnished the
iokesmiths of the nation with about
all OF the raw material they could
find to work on. But getting down
to brass tacks, we cant see but what
bobbed hair is a matter for the wo-
men to settle among themselves, each
in her own mind. A man generally
dresses as he pleases. If he wants
to boycott barber shops and let his
hair and his whiskers grow, the
newspapers don't take sides as to
whether he has a right to or not.
If man enjoys the privilege of
dressing as he sees fit, why shouldn't
the same privilege be accorded wo-
man? We know some Mountain
Home women and girls that could
improve their appearance, possibly,
by bobbing their hair; we know
Others who would not '1ook good"
with hair bobbed But in each case
we can't feel that il is up to us, or
anyone else, to say what they shall
do or shall not do. We've notion
that the men of the country will
have their hands full if they'll de-

WISE OLD NOAH

There is one thing you've got to
give old Noah credit for-he didn't
wait for it to commence to rain be-
fore he started into build the ark.
Some Mountain Home citizens may
not feel that Noah was right in
spending so long a time in building
the ark, but they must admit that he
was a pretty wise citizen in one re-
spect, and that is that he didn't sit
down and wait to see what his neigh
Dor was going to do.
Noah believed in preparedness. If
he had lived here, for instance, and
doctors and health officers had told
him that an epidemic would prob
ably sweep the land if he didn't cut
the weeds on his premises and fill up
the low, wet places where mosquitoes
breed, he'd have cleaned up. If he
saw foul spot on his premises
where millions of flies and insects
were breeding, and then carrying on
their wings and feet the filth that
had accumulated there, he would
have removed that foul spot and got
ten rid of the pests.
You can practice preparedness
here and now just as Noah did in
his day. You won't need an ark to
save lives-all you'll need to do is
cut your weeds. fill up the low places
where water stands after rain,
clean out eesspools and alleys, and
scatter little whitewash and lime
about fences and outbuildings. Ty-
phoid germs, malaria germs and
scores of other kinds are breeding
by the millions now. Don't take
chance ON them ~ don't invite an
epidemic of sickness and death by ig-
noring their dangers. Be wise like
old Noah-be ready for an emergen-

UNCLE SAM KNOWS

sent out a crop report it stated
among other things that the farm

condition than they were a year ago,
and backed up the statement by de-
claring the mail-order houses report
increased business and announce that
they now expect their receipts to run
as heavy this year as in 1928. The
merchant who stops advertising be-
cause business grew a little dull,

They're making hay while the sum-

lars the home merchant could get by
going after them through his home
town paper. When the year ends the
mail-order house will have a profit as
large as it had last year, and the
home merchant will have only what
came unsolicited. Uncle Sam says
more money is being spent by the
farmers. If home merchants hope
to get it they'll have to use print
er's ink, because mail-order cata-
logues are being sent out in summer
as well as winter.
