BITTINGER

The long-suffering farmer har-
nesses the old gray mare, early in the
morning. He and Ezra are both set
for a big days work, so they hustle
over to the north meadow, intending
to put away batch of hay before
shutdown, but when the sweet-scented
clover is dry and ready to be hauled
to the barn without any warning there
comes a drenching shower and they
are forced to sid placidly down and
wait until the skies are clear again.
Thus taking advantage of every hour
of sunshine and cheerfully accepting
the showers, the farmers of this Sec
ton are nearing the end of their hay
ing time for this year.

Our Prosperity

Another measure of the prosperity
of the United States may be found in
the fact that capital, deposits and re-
sources of the banks of the United
States are greater now than at any
time in the history of the republic.
The figures were given recently by r..
N. Sims, secretary-treasurer of the
National Association of Supervisors
of State Banks for the annual conven-
tion at Columbus, Ohio.
Mr.. Sims stated that of total of
more than $4,000 banks in the United
States, 20,2S9 were state institutions
and 5000 national banks. These banks
have a total capital, surplus and un-
divided profits Of more than seven bill
lions, total deposits of more than 50
billions, and resources of more than
60 billions. Deposits increased over
three billions, and total resources in
creased S3,4S7,607,427 over the
highest totals of the year pre-
vious. All of the banking business
of the United States in both state
and national banks has increased
more than forty per cent since 1919,
when his first report was made, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sims.
This imposing percentage of in
crease will give US some idea Of the
growth and development of the Uni
ted States during the past six or
eight years. The country is now
pretty well over the reconstruction
period following the war and is once
more on the high road of progress
and prosperity.
There are still some pessimistic
voices but they are growing fewer
each year. For the present year,
despite the unsettled condition of
Europe, increased business is expect
ed for the autumn months and it is
now being predicted that the price of
wheat may go to two dollars a
bushel.
There is no question about the
material prosperity of the United
States. Let US see that in the rush
of business and progress we do not
forget the fundamental principles of
the government which made such
progress and prosperity possible.

Dangers of Paternalism

The dangers of paternalism in the
United States were called to the at
tention of the lawyers of the United
States recently in a report submitted
at their Denver convention by F. F..
Dumont- Smith, of Hutchinson, Kan
sas, who acted as chairman of the
committee on American citizenship.
The report said in part:
"The Roman citizens bartered their
ancient liberties for bread and circus
es. The American citizen today freely
barriers his individual liberties and
rights for government bounties and
bonuses. He demands government in
reference in everything and surren-
ders freedom and his individuality for
it.
"The old viril spirit is waning to
extinction. The American citizen is
being pauperized by government
aims. If he supports the govern
ment he asks the government in re-
turn to support him. If prices are
too high, instead of doing without, he
wants the government to lower them;
if they are too low, he wants the
government to raise them.
"He wants the government to build
his roads, educate his offspring, sani-
tate him, physic him, bring his child
rem into the world, prescribe his diet
airy, and tell him what to believe in
matters of conscience.
"This tendency, constantly accel-
Grated, is furthered by powerful
groups, some of whom have selfish
interests at stake, but by many whose
leaders are impelled by the Hottest
motives and seek them on the
grounds of economic or social well
fare"
The United States leads the world
in social service, in charity and in
other activities designed to raise the
standard of citizenship. Nearly all
this work has been done by our pri-
vate citizens and by our smaller units
of government. We are proud of this
as measure of our high civilization.
But here of late the tendence has
grown to let the federal government
do the bulk of the work AS a re-
suit bureaucracy has grown in a de-
gree never dreamed of in the early
days of~the republic, and there are
many who seem to feel that the gov
eminent at Washington should reg
ulate not only the economic but the
social activities of our life. There is
a danger here which should not be

The Woman Voter, monthly pub
LEGATION issued by an organization of
Democratic women Of Montgomery
county, in its issue for August hands
this bit of truth and advice to Gov
ernor Richie and his followers:
"Since the present heads of the
Democratic party have repudiated the
platform of 1919 and disregarded the
Maryland Bill of Rights, what right
have these nullifcationists to ask the
people of this State to again elect
them to office? The Woman Voter
calls upon Governor Albert C. Richie
and Willard Tydings to withdraw, and
do so at once, and thus save the Dem
ocratic party crushing defeat in the
coming election. No man is bigger
than his party. And any candidate
who has been SO signally honored as
has Albert c. Richie and Willard Ty-
dings should put the party before sell
fish ambition.
"Neither of these candidates can
be elected, and for them to continue
as candidates, when they cannot truth
fully take the oath of office to support
the Constitution of Maryland, places
the Democratic party in most en-
barrassing position, and the Woman
Voter warns both now, if they refuse
to heed the warning cry If the men
and women of this State they must be
prepared to take the consequences at
the hands of the voters"

Ccu!dn't Really Call
Inn Ancient Building

We had padded through Clients
complex waterways and were wonder
ing where we could leave our canoe in
safety, when some racing shells shot
past, a boathouse pennant huttered,
and CHEEKY voice invited US to util-
lie the Royal Club Nautique for as
long as we wished. So we stored our
canoe In the clubs garage" then
drove through the town to a quaint
inn whose loaded panes looked out
upon a row Of shops built into the
outer walls of great Gothic church,
Melville Chatter writes In the National
Geographic Magazine.
The sight of people flocking to serv-
ice, while others slipped drinks, got
shaved or bought curios. all under the
caves of sacred edifice, limited that
we were in an ancient quarter of the
town
rs this an old inn?" we inquired of
our Flemish host. He was a singu-
larry literal man. He replied gravely:
mot so very. Probably when built
in the Thirteenth century it was some
wealthy mans home In the Sixteenth
century, about the time Albrecht Dur
er stopped here. 1t was the house of
the GrOcers guild Later 1t was pri-
vately owned for couple or more
centuries. No, as an inn l wouldn't
call 1t particularly old"
After that we reverentially used the
doormat, and refrained from striking
matches on the woodwork.

Natures Lavish Gifts
to Left-Handed Folks

If you had lived at any time in the
period 2500 B. c. to A. D. 1900, and
had been left-handed, you would have
been regarded as one highly favored
by the gods and far superior to ordi-
nary folk. If, of your own initiative,
you had not seized on power, 1t would
have been placed in your hands. But
In all probability that would have been
unnecessary, for all down the ages the
left-handed have gone ahead and made
a success of life. They've something
that the rlght-handed haven't. The
leading Pharoahs were left-handed; so
were the Caesars; so also Alexander
the Great and Charlemagne.
Whether Nature compensates the
left-handed by endOwing them with
special talents is a matter of specula-
ton. The fact, however, remains that
the left-handed are, in brain power,
far superior to the right-handed. A
schoolteacher through whose hands
thousands Of boys have passed, is en-
phatic on that point. No left-handed
boy is, or could be, fool is his die

Modest Philonthropist

A philanthropist, feeling that his end
was approaching and not desiring any
publicity for his kind acts, advertised
in the newspapers and offered a prize
for the best hint of how to dispose of
his property. Many replies were re-
celved, some sound and sensible, and
others wildly fantastic. Finally one
came which suggested that he establish
n fund to supply ice to dumb parrots.
This delighted the philanthropist so
that he lay back and laughed heartily,
ne caught his breath with difficulty and
laughed again. In the midst of his
mirth he burst blood vessel and
passed away, leaving his fortune to his
heirs and nothing for the poor dumb
parrots.-Kansas City Times.
