1t is sale the President Coolidge is a silent even taciturn. but
il is quite evident that when he writes or talks lie has something to
sy worth while. Recently. in a n address to a troup Of Boy Scouts, he
laid down the fundamentals o American citizenship. Those who are
eiose t o tn president say there is no question but that he had in mind
W Ists n when he opened his heart to the Scouts. His preach
ment should b read by every citizen. young o old. He said:
There was no Boy Scout organization in my boyhood, but every
boy who has the privilege of growing up IN a farm learns instinctvey
III three fundamentals of Scouthood. V
THE first is a reverence for mature. Boys should never lose their
Owe for the fields and the streams, the mountains and the plains, the
pen places and the forests. That love will a priceless possession as
years lengthen out There is an instructive myth about thu giant
Anateus Whenever, in a contest, he a thrown down, he drew fresh
strength from his mother. the earth. and so was thought to be invincible.
There is life in the soil or e man. There is healing in the
trees or tired minds, n fol u overburdened spirits there is strength
in Ii hills. if only w will lift u yes Remember that nature is
FOUR greatest restorer.
THE second fundamental is reverence for law. I remember the
meeting of my boyhood. when the citizens o. the town net to levy
o n themselves and to choose from their W number those who
hou be their officers. There is something in yer such meeting, in
every election, that approaches very er to the sublime. 1 I'M thrilled

House
Somewhere there are boys who will be presidents of or railroads

THAT great achievement was OF wrought without blood M sacrifice
Make firm your resolution to carry o n noby what has been so nobIy

FALL PREPARATION OF THE
BEET LAND TENDS TO
HIGHER YIELDS

Favorable prices and weather have speeded up the
grain harvest permitting farmers to devote their atten-
ton to the Fall Preparation of next years beet land.
The advantages of the Fall Preparation of land,
intended for beets the following year, is no longer
questioned. Time in which to do the work has been
the factor limiting the amount done.
This year with time yet available before the beet
harvest growers may well take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to do more Fall Preparation of the land.
Fall preparation includes more than Just fallpIow-
ing. Manur1ng, double discng ahead of the pillow, plow-
ing and finally working down the plowed ground with a
harrow or disc set set straight, are the operations in
volved+ Irrigation should also be included if the land
is too dry to pillow up properly.
Light irrigation applied at frequent intervals give
better results than heavier applications of water at
wider intervals.
Growers with a limited amount of water available
Tor future irrigations of the beet crop should give care
tul consideration to the best methods of applying the
water. Whether or not two or more light irrigations
are more feasible than one heavy irrigation must be
decided with a knowledge of local conditions.

THE REPUBLICAN "HOP OFF"
IN MORGAN
The G. o. r. Stages A Rally At
Reinersville That Leaves Them
With Several Flat-Tires
(By Radio)


The G. O. p. campaign in Morgan
county was officially set in motion
at Reinersyille last Friday night
, When lifeless bodies of people are
found under suspicious circum-
stances, somebody calls the coroner
so when political body of people
like the G.. o. p. is found in assembly
with no trace of life, it is but fitting
TO have this body viewed by the cor
oner too. At least that is what they
think out at Reinersville. So Doe
Fiscus, county coroner and candi-
date for more of it, viewed the G. o.
P. f. ON the presiding officers chair.
Doc may be a first-rate coroner, but
he is worse than a tenth-rate politi-
cal strategist. Doc put his hand on
the pulse OF the crowd and saw that
it was pulseless. He called in con
sultation, Doe Naylor, who was
eager for the wind jamming, and
Jeems Bawl thought that if he were
permitted 10 Apply nOStfum Oh his
own making he could revive the
crowd and they would come to,
clapping their hands wildly. Fiscus
was desperately anxious to keep the
crowd awake, until SEE ELLIS
Moore should come, so that it might !
SEE ELLIS appear at the door and
maybe it would cheer. As matter
of fact cheers and not chairs were |
the demand of the hour, and the |
crowd was liable to be mighty stingy |
with its cheers. By rule of cour-
tesy, the candidate for Representa- |
tive was certainly entitled to |
speech ahead of one in the ranks like |
Naylor. But did he get it? No; tht i

covered the whole field twice and
used some of his poems for filler.
He used his political blunderbuss
aiming it first at LaFollete, then
Charley Bryan, then dead presidents.
Then he clasped Harry Daugherty
to his bosom and lauded the deposed
cabinet officer to the skies. He quit
before praising Harry Davis or ex-
planning why a Republican president
ousted Daugherty from his cabinet

ing the "Dawkter" he cannot realize
how much misinformation there has
been broadcasted over the country
and of course, this information of
the Dawkter's is unbiased. The aud
ience had had enough, but this was
one case where they wanted Moore.
Moore followed with a speech
comparing the expenses of war
administration with one of peace
times. He charged John W. Davis
with scattering innuendo. OF course
John Davis shouldn't mention that
"oil steal" as that may get circu-
lated over the neighborhood. He
fiayed John w. Davis for attacking
predatory wealth and left himself
swinging in mid-air on the subject.
