A PRECIOUS THING

During these lovely days of Spring
has anyone noticed the beautiful
cloud effects and the glowing sunset
skies? These masses of watery va
por. when lit up by the ever-changing
effects of sun and moon, are among
the most beautiful things in nature.
The poet Shelly says:
81 am the daughter of earth and
water,
And the nursing of the Sky"
The clouds are like living things,
and thew among all the natural phe-
nomena. are perhaps the things that
most closely resemble a human soul.
Thew rise from the moist earth or
the surface of the sea, Invisible, to
take their places in the blue dome of
the heavens. and there, TRANSPORTED
bv the radiance of the celestial orbs,
thew look down on the world in their
ever-changing grandeur, until, as 1t
dissolve into rain that the earth may
dissolve into rain that the earth may
bring forth its fruits.
A drop Of water is perhaps n OF
the most precious things with which
creation has been endowed. No peer
less pearl or gem a equal it in its
benefit to mankind.-Dearborn In
dependent.

The promise of Spring-growth.
buoyant hopes, life Never was THEN
presence more manifest. 1t is trite
to repeat that Nature is donning her
springtime dress, but the dress itself
is Y old. We can only say "won-
derful;" it cannot be described, the
process that brings it about cannot
be comprehended. But there is some
thing we can dove can turn in
and help with the identifying work
of Spring. We do not understand
how a flower comes out of the soil,
or how a tree puts out green leaves,
but we know that a rake and a shovel,
a hammer, a saw and a paint brush
and a little careful thinking will
bring pleasing changes in our prem

HENRY FORD SAYS:

An arm is raised to knife the
Constitution of the United States
in one of it's most vital parts.
The eighteenth amendment IS the
object of this menace. The count
ry is not behind this. 1t IS the
work of those who ire deprived
of piling up wealth on the weak
nesses of their fellow men. There
is nothing sincere in any move
ment based on the assumption
that a law which is for the benefit
of the community as a whole
must be bad because it deprives
a section of that community of
the opportunity of preying on the
others. The burglar and the boot
logger as violaters of the law are
in the same category. They are
as n in their opinion that those
who seek to restrict their activi-
ties are doing them an injustice.
Are we on the side of the burglar
and the b%ootlegger, or that of
sound citizenship.

H GRAIN MARKET

Tuesday, March II, will be long
remembered by thousands who dab
bled in grain futures and were sold
out by brokers. A wholesale default
in margin assessments occurred in
the face of a heavy slump in quo
tations.
To economists who have been
pointing to speculative prices for
grain at a time farmers had none
to sell as an evidence of agricultural
prosperity, this should be a lesson
not to confound gambling with bust
Mess.
In a time of more active demand
than usual the day witnessed a drop
in grain prices of IA cents the bushel
fro wheat, a total drop of 81 cents
since the slump began, with a proper
tionate recession in other grains.
This is reported to emphasize the
warning which we have given before,
namely. that it is the height of abb
surdity to assume that speculative
prices form an index to the general
business conditions. The artificial
flare in prices was disastrous in that
it was used to conjure the feeling
that the agricultural problem was
solved and everything could be allow
ed to run wild again.-Dearborn In
dependent.
