SPECIAL NOTICE----
Our Temporary Location Will Be In the Old Opera House Building, West Lousiana St.
The fire destroyed our place of business this morning but believing in the service of our own busi-

Old Opera House Building formerly occupied by the Paris Grocer Co. and King Grocer Co. Our
phone 317 remains the same. We wish here to publicly acknowledge our appreciation to our
competitors for their generous offer to share their facilities with us in this condition with which we

"What is the mutter with the church!’’ is
tin-own at us daily in the public prints. The
answer's easy: It’s us prideful, coldblooded.

Household hint: "Vamps never bother men
whose pants bag at the knees."
An Ohio school teacher used an electric chair
to punish pupils. He’s nothing if not up to

It is estimated that prohibition enforcement
will cost $50,000,000 for the next two years. The
cost of enforcement has steadily increased. It
was started with an appropriation of $3,150,-
000 in 1920 which was increased to $6,000,000
in 1921; $7,500,000 in 1922; $9,250,000 in 1923.
President Coolidge says that he is expecting
a complete readjustment of things as concerns
the agricultural interests of America and the
world. There is a very determined movement on
the part of millions of farmers that such a
readjustment shall take place. Everything we
eat or wear is produced by the soil, and the
men who produce it have waited long for a fail-
share of the final product.
A long time ago the Pharisees wrangled over
technicalities and non-essentials. This bicker
ing, the fruit of egomania, has continued on
down through the years. The world is sick of
the sounding brass and tinkling cymbal of
words.

George II. Slater, executive secretary of the
State Federation of Labor, asserts that the so-
called “child (?) labor amendment" will not
affect boys and girls within the inhibited age
from working on farms. So? Then why was an
amendment proposing to exempt agricultural
workers voted down?
A woman speaking before a men's civic club
recently said that the boys of the country were
suffering from too much male domination—
that they needed the womanly touch.
Every man will admit that they do need the
influence of a mother, but that they are not be-
ing "dehumanized" by their elders.
The boy is the fellow who is going to carry
on what the men of the present generation have
begun or are beginning. He needs to be in close
contact with men to get the masculine view
point—and he is not going to sutler if the man
The world demands that the church prove the
truth of the Master’s teaching by works—the
fruit of the gospel. The world cannot be con-
verted by eloquent prayers and inspiring choir-
singing. The world can be moved to tears by
a heart-touching play in the theater, but the
effect seldom lasts. The world can only be con-
vinced by acts.
is inclined to interest himself in boys.
More and more intensely are men coming to
| realize that they can do more for the future by
taking some interest will be, than in any other
| way.
Men’s organizations are devoting time to a
study of the boy and trying to direct his activi
Taties and thoughts into channels that will de-
velop him so that he will be able to take up
_ the job where they leave off.
Men who stop to think have long since realiz-
/ ed that it is wasted effort to build up a business
based on an ideal if something is not done to in-
still him who will carry on.
Man’s work today is going to be judged, and
praised or condemned by the boy of today, when
he becomes a man.

According to Prof. Sidney Fay, of Smith Col-
lege. Woodrow Wilson died reconciled to
America’s attitude toward the league of Na
lions. He says Mr. Wilson was pleased that the
league grew without American participation
and believed that the time was coming when
America would be forced to join the League.
Prof. Fay declares that Mr. Wilson expressed
these sentiments just before he died.
I believe that editors are less dogmatic than
any other class of intelligent people for the
reason that they must necessarily examine con
flicting arguments in every mooted problem,
and in this almost daily process they discover
how little they or anyone else knows for cer-
tain. For the same reason many editors be-
come humorously cynical and get frequent
smiles as they contemplate the mental antics

He—this boy of yours is going to be the
president, the senator, the statesman, the
preacher, the teacher, the lawyer, the judge, the
merchant. The fate of the nation and humani-
ty is in his hands.
So it is well to pay him some attention for
the measure of success he has with the tasks
' of the next generation depends on the training

I generation.
According to a New York paper Uncle
Sam’s bellicose record is one war in 21 years.
Only Austria and Turkey can beat it. The table
printed in this paper credits other nations with
wars as follows: France, Serbia and Russia,
one every 21 years; Englund, Germany, Den-
mark and Bulgaria, Portugal and Spain, one
every 35 years; Greece, Belgium, Hungary, Ru
mania, Norway and Sweden one every 105 years.
If this is correct it would seem to ill become as
to lecture European countries.
