THIS
LIFE

a held OF DAISIES IN sum-
mer; an autumn sunset; the odOr of honey
sucklc waited on gentle breezeS on star
lit night; the dimpled laughter of joyous
child; the cheering greeting of friendly
household when one comes down to break
fast; the careSS of loving hand when one
is tircd-just to mention few of the mil
lions of things that make this earth life
beautiful and worth living.
But the world is not always benign, love-
" and kind. Death stalks our highways and
turks in unsupported places; we are sur
rounded by much squalor, poverty, sick
ness and wrctchedness; through ignorance,
or under economic pressure, men become
greedy, hateful, vicious and cruel; war and
pestilcnce, famine and ''acts of God" inflict
the world with terror, misery and frightful
death.
Life. after ALL is but terrible mystery.
But this we know: 1t is given most of us
to choose to SO live each day as to get such
JOY as we may from those things that are
lovely. helpful and kind and repulse all evil
with faith and high resolves. In the ulti-
mate, life for most of us is what we make
of it; the strong of purpose and heart per-
severe, the weak yield to adversely and sue
cumb.

BALLOTS.
NOT BULLETS

Communists are the Or
ganizers of private armies, who usually have
the confidence or backing Of men and
women in high places. Hubert Eldred, the
latest ''p""i0'dcr to the throne of America, y
was an i, Smith hacker and boasts the
support ul nationally prominent female
political parsonage.
Eldrcd, an Cmploye of the L. S. Treasury
department was exposed in the act of try
ing to organize a private army of 100000
men ''tO combat Jews and Reds"
Fanatics of the Eldred brand should be
shown no quarter by organized government.
We have seen the Ku Klux Klan perish of
its own stupidity; we have seen the sinister
Silver Shirts fizzle; but the belligerent ter
roriSts are dic-hards and some day they will
effect an organization capable of making
serious trouble if government doesn't smash
them as fast as they are uncovered.
America may we'll take a lesson from
Italy with its Blackshrts; Germany with its
Nazis; Austria with its Roman Catholic
Storm Troops; Spain with its Fascist, and
England and France where Communists and
Fascists- private armies all-are both seek
ing to overthrow existing governments.
Here in America we are going to fight
our ideas out with ballots not bullets-if
we can just keep these private army buc-
cancers in place.

How Ia Danish Sparrows

Probably fhe best way to get rid OF
sparrows is to poison them by scatter
ing wheat soaked in strychnine about
the place where they gather to feed
chickens and live stock from getting
the poisoned grain. Another method
is trapping and another is to catch
them at night in their roosting places
using light to blind them. All nests
should be destroyed before the young
have left them. If this is done during
the nesting season. their number will
be very materially decreased.
