-e i"' l'iel had a half dozen cows and ten brood
S0"S lie would probably be able to use his mas

oank hnally loaned him $1,000 for this purpose
ana TOOK chattel mortgage on the stock mr.

well maintained and on half of the cream checks
the other half had been applied on his $500
note at the bank covering the loan for the cows /
rive days before the year was up the PRINCIPAL
ana interest on the note were entirely paid by
cream checks. The pigs afforded a net gain of
Sl,4OO after all expenses were paid.
In addition to this financial gain, the farmer
was taught the value of a good COW and the ne
cess1ty of keeping record of his operations to
know which farm operations are profitable The
Farm Service Department of the bank was able
to teach this man things he had never dreamed
about. 1t is worth the effort the banks would
be called upon to make if each bank could but
urn one broken discouraged farmer into a pros

While this occurred in a far western state the
same plan could be followed by Delaware bank
'rs with equal success, with mutual benefit to
he farmer and the bank. The incident, with it's {
results, proves that with real assis-
ance and teaching in proper methods of farm t
ng many delapidated farms may be converted s
ntO gardens of plenty. t

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM is printed
record Of achievement coupled with pledge to
continue that record unbrOken if the party is
entrusted with the conduct of government af-
fairs for another four years.
Milford chronicle., 1924-08-01

WHAT WOULD BE THE PLATFORM of a
real American reform" party? In these davs
when extremists and experimentalists are al
tacking a political system that has stood the
test of century and a half what would such a
platform contain?
Would it declare for public ownership of all
waterpOwer plants?
Would it advocate public ownership of rail-
roads?
Would it recommend a constitutional amend
ment giving Congress power to set aside judicial
decisions interpreting the constitution as applied
to laws of Congress?
Would it advocate direct election of federal
judges for terms limited to ten years?
Would it make the federal government a loan
agency without discrimination to business men,
farmers and hOme-builders?
Would it abolish all injunctions in labor dis
putes?
Would it declare for direct nomination and
election of president and for federal inative and
referendum, especially on a declaration of war?
Would it withdraw government aid and pro-
lection from Americans abroad engaged in car
rying on American foreign trade?
These are some of the most advanced ideas on
reform advocated by our radical political lead
ers. How many Americans would be willing to
assume the responsibility of putting all these
changes into full force and effect?

NO DOUBT A GOOD MANY PARENTS living
on farms are still debating whether or not they
will send the boys and girls to high schools who,
last spring, completed the courses offered in the
small district schools. Only one month remains
in which to make this decision. Upon it rests
the future welfare, not only of the boys and
girls, but to a considerable extent that of the
nation itself, for within few years these boys
and girls will be voters. By>means of the bal
lot they will help decide upon the officers who
shall administer the laws of our States and Ma
tion and so upon the nature of the laws by
which we shall be governed.
On the Fourth of July President Coolidge said
in an address before the teachers of the United
States, meeting in Washington, ." America has
placed the power of government squarely, Sc
curely, and entirely in the hands of the people.
For all changes which they may desire, for all
grievances which they may suffer, the ballot box
furnishes complete method and remedy. Into
their hands has been committed complete juris-
dction and control over all the functions of
government. . The body polite has little
chance of choosing patriotic officials who can
administer its financial affairs with wisdom and
safety, unless there is a general diffusion of
knowledge and information on elementary econ
omic subjects sufficient to create and adequate
ly to guide public opinion"
Practically every President from Washington
to Coolidge has warned us that the improvement
If American Institutions depends upon the intel
igence of the voters. Think of this mothers and
athers, living on the farms, before you decide
lot to give your boys and girls and the nations
uture voters the advantages of a high school
ducation.

Presbyterian
Fellowship IN

held in the church parlors on Tues
day evening, November eighteenth.
Promptly at six forty-five, forty
nine men sat down to an excellent

The following program was car
ried out:

quith and Scholler, and Messrs.
Won Wald and Prime.

NJ. G. Allison, student pastor of the
Presbyterian headquarters at the
University of Wisconsin was then
called upon and he gave an ex-
cellent address on "a Present Day
Application of the Selection of the
Twelve Disciples of Christ"
Rev. Allison stressed the facts
that Jesus chose his followers from
the working classes, and that in
spite of the fact that no one ever
before or since has ever exalted or
done or said SO much for women,
he selected as his disciples only
men, and that these men were Sc
lected from practically all the walks
of life, with the exception of the
wealthy, and from the SO styled
preachers, or priests and educa-
tors of that period.
He urged the men to again rally
to the cause of The Master, saying
that though Christ did choose men
as his disciples it would appear
that women were much more ac-
tive in the present than were men
in the carrying out of his work.
