There’s an old saying about the
kterk that takes on a new meaning
De* that such great darkness has
dsscended upon the world.
-Better to light a candle,” it runs,
-than to rail at the dark.’’ Better to
do the small things that you and I,
•a women can do in our own homes
•nr own communities—our own
towns—than to sit still and moan
Because we can’t make a speech to
the whole world or help draw up
Che laws in Washington.
Representative democracy, like
many other desirable things, begins
at home. And that is where your
influence is supreme; where you set
the pattern and determine the at-
mosphere. Teach your children res-
pect for other individuals and their
•pinions. Teach them the meaning
•f justice and tolerance and teach
them discipline by insisting on obe-
dience to reasonable authority. If
this kind of teaching was given in
•everal million homes the future of
America would be assured!
And what you can do in your com-
munity. You can help to get people
of an ages and outlooks and nation-
alities together in projects of com-
munity interest. You can learn to
understand those whose background
has been different from your own

Many persons plant bulbs too
closely together. Large-growing
ones should be about eight inches
apart and the small bulbs about two
or three inches apart, according to
scientists at the Cornell University
Experiment Station.

High pressure salesmen on reaching town naturally
open attack on our merchants; first, because they may
be quickly seen, and second, because the merchant is
not a professional advertising man and more often than
not, does not confine his expenditures strictly to those
media reaching his potential buyers at the lowest cost.
Any business, that has within it the germ of growth, can
and should spend a certain percent of its sales ranging
from 2 percent to about 4 percent for advertising, but
the success of that advertising depends to a great extent
on how and where it is placed.
Merchants are constantly being solicited for various
advertising schemes, a great many of which border
dangerously near the “racket” line.
■'' w
It is unanimously agreed by experts that a great amount
of money could and would be saved each year if mer-
chants were to confine their advertising efforts solely
to newspapers.
and thereby thwart the plans of
those who hope to "divide and con-
quer.” You can study the American
way at your club mqptings and read
the Bill of Rights and the Constitu-
tion of the United States.
When they come to your town, you
can urge motion picture theatres to
show films that dramatize the Amer-
ican way of life. You can encourage
radio programs that unfold the
great history of this country and
make clear the possibilities of its
future. You can go to town meet-
ings and councils, to Parent Teacher
Associations and women’s club meet-
ings.
Above all you can take your belief
in democracy into the occupation of
your day—as firm in your conviction
of its importance as were the great
women of our pioneer days who
looked Into each day’s sunset uncer-
tain of what the sunrise would
bring except that it would carry with
it another day of Freedom!
