THE PROOF OF FRIENDSHIP

Just help your friends in trouble
And cheer them on the way,
Twill give their lives more glad
ness
'Tis well worth while today.
A tear for the breken-hearted,
A word for the man that's blue,
A helping hand for the aged
Adds strength and courage new =
'Tis little thing to offer,
Just the light of quiet smile,
But the joy it brings to others
VIII make the deed worth while.
Then watch your step, my brother,
There's service you can do;
1t may be time for action,
That proves your friendship true.
Judge Harry Brokaw of the East
Liverpool (ohio) Municipal Court.

These loans were made after care
full consideration and in those cases
where the Farm Board believed that
through them the associations would
be able to give their farmer MEM
bers improved service.
Co-operatives in the Northeastern
States have made showing during
the past three years of which they
may well be proud. The Board be-
lieves that it has contributed in
some degree to this favorable show
ing during a period of unparalleled
economic difficulties. The assist
ance of the Board, it must be re-
membered, can be extended only
through co-operatives. The Farm
Board expects that this service will
be continued and enlarged to meet
the needs of the growing co-opera-
tive movement. 1t is available to
all producers in all regions of the
United States whenever they desire
to organize cooperative marketing
associations and are in a position to
make use of the services of the
Board. ..t

BUYING Opportunities

The low prices now prevailing on
practically all kinds of goods repre-
sent a wonderful buying opportun-
ity for our people. The idea that
goods could be sold at such prices
would have seemed preposterous
three years ago. 1t may seem
equally impossible three years from
now that goods were sold in 1882 at
these figures.
The people are making a mistake
if they do not buy freely when such
bargains are offered. But the pub
lie will not fully realize the value
of these opportunities, unless the de-
tailed facts about them are constant
ly told through advertising. Goods
at present prices ought to sell read
lily if we'll advertised.

LIQUOR BY MARCH

A correspondent asks for informa-
ton about the procedure of the pos
sible change of the Eighteenth
Amendment, adding: Many people
seem to have the idea that March 4
will bring a new President and
March liquor"
A good many ideals of that sort
are in circulation. For example, an
Oklahoma farmer went, jug in hand,
to his postoffice to buy beer. When
pressed for an explanation of his
optimism he replied: "They said we
could get beer at the postntflce as
soon as Roosevelt was elected"
The sale of beer and light wines
can be legalized by modification OF
the Volstead act, subject to the pos
sible test of such modification in
the courts. Many Vets have declar-
ed that beer will become permissible
by March. Senator Borah and other
Drys insist that Congress will not
take such action during the short
session because of the lack of time
even if a majority favors it.
Repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment might require several years.
Both houses of Congress must first
approve, by two-thirds vote, the
submission of a substitute amend
ment for the return of liquor control
to the States. Then this amendment
must be ratified by the Legislatures
or conventions of three-fourths OF
the States before it can become ef-
fective. The Eighteenth Amendment
was submitted to the States by Con-
gress on December 1S, 1917, and its
ratification by thirty-six States was
on January 16, 1919. 1t
became effective on January is,
1920.

RUSSIA EAGER CLIMB ABOARD TRADE SHIP
 WITH UNITED STATES

WSHINGTON, D. C., Aug, 25, - Dispatches from Soviet Russia on Thursday indicated the Soviets, hard hit by recent trade agree ments at the recent Ottawa con- ference between England and her colonies, have evidenced a strong desire to get together with Amer ica and work up a trade between themselves. America also was hard hit by the trade agreements at Ottawa.
 Until the conference England and Russia had been conducting a large trade between themselves but this is now definitely off as Russia has been restricted in her trade with Britain owing to prefer ential tariffs and other matters.
 The Moscow dispatches point out that the value of United States re- cognition of the Soviet govern ment has become more of a neces- sity, and more to the mutual bene- fit of both countries, since the Ot- taWa conference.

STRIKING FARMERS
 ARE CHEERED BY RISE
 PRICE THEIR PRODUCTS

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Aug, 25, - Striking farmers of this city and around Council Bluffs claimed several victories as result of their action. The price of milk was de- clared as becoming more staple and getting better. Other farm products gave evidence of becom- ing more staple also with better prices in prospect.
 The farm strike sentiment has spread into seven states and it is the intention of the farmers to concentrate their activities around one city at a time. The next city will be Des Moines. After Des Moines will come Kansas City. The farmers will continue this form of protest until prices are restored sufficiently to give them a chance for livelihood.

PLIERS POISED FOR TAKE-OFF
 HARBOR GRACE TODAY

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Aug, 25, = The two planes which left New York and Barre, Vermont, Tuesday to fly to Harbor Grace and from there across the Atlantic to Nor way, both fared i'll on the hop, but only one ship was damaged to such an extent that the flight had to be called off. Both planes were forced to make landings short of their objective at Harbor Grace.
 Clyde Lee, of Oshkosh, Wis, and John Bochkon, of Brooklyn, were the fliers who were successful in landing their ship without mishap on a sandy beach near here. They were unable to find their way out of a fog and efforts to learn their position by radio proved futile. They decided they would not take any risk of losing their plane by further flying so set down on the beach,
 The plane of Lee and Bochkon was to take off today from Harbor Grace, if weather cnditions per- mitted.
 The plane of Thor Solberg and Carl Peterson was injured SO bad ly, when these two were forced down 75 miles south of here, that their proected flight is now defi- nitely cancelled. None of the fliers were injured.

CHOOSING RINGS

The class of 1884 is i'm the midst
of choosing their class rings. Some
time ago a ring committee was
chosen. The members of the COM
mittees are: Ann Keller, class pres
ident; Bill Stevenson, Helen Coffin,
vice president; Genevieve Griffith.
The process of choosing rings
does not vary from year to year. At
ter the committee is chosen, repre-
sentatives fIom several jewelry
houses come and show their lines.
The committee selects a few that
seem most desirable from the angle
of style and price and submits them
to the class for the final decision.
The unusual thing about the af-
fair this year lies in the number of
concerns who have sent displays to
be considered by the committee. So
far there have been ten different
lines shown. Either Milford school
is growing more rapidly than we
thought or else every penny counts
with jewelry concerns these days.
Probably it's the latter.
Very soon the rings selected will
be shown to the class for their ap-
proval; then will come the final
vote, the collecting of money, and
the long, agonizing wait until they
finally arrive.

fractured ribs, broken arm, burns,
bruises and severe shock.
Roy Clark, colored, aged 80, right
leg so badly crushed that surgeons
were forced to amputate it. He is
also suffering from severe burns,
bruises and head wounds.
The force of the blast sent the
mill boiler soaring over telephone
poles nearby. 1t drove brick
through the weatherboarding of the
home of Homer Wiley, 300 yards
away, and into the room where Will
ley and his wife were having break
fast. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wiley were
thrown to the floor by the explosion.
Three bricks crashed through the
Ingram nome nearby and the blast
was distinctly heard by Daniel
Steele, four miles from the scene of
the explosion.
The men started work at the mill
about ten minutes past seven Mon
day morning. 1t is believed that a
heavy fire under a nearby empty
boiler caused the blast, which came
shortly afterwards. The loss is esti-
mated at approximately $1,000.
At the two hospitals where the
men were taken it was said that all
three were suffering so severely
from shock, in addition to their
other injuries, that it is difficult to
estimate their chances for recovery.

Book Week will be observed from
November 1920, and during this
time all books may be returned fine
free regardless of the amount due in

plan has been tried, books missing
for years have suddenly found their
way back into circulation. So look
around and see if you have any
books that are long overdue and
bring them in during Book Week"
will shortly be the watchword at the

tear, and loss of books, the school

reference books, a new Compton's

During the month of September
one thousand sixty-one books were
issued TO pupils for home reading.
Several hundred others were taken
from the library for reference work.
