No Opinion On Morals
The clergyman who said for publication some weeks njfo that
American trills' morality was at its lowest ell, meaning that
the girls are so had they cannot he worse, has been compelled
to revise his opinion. JtcUirninjr from i( brief sojourn in Europe
)0 now says Kuropean Kills are worse than Anierican. From
which it is 'plain be that in neither instance did he know what he
was talking about. He et.i an inkling of something uiid jumps to
wholly unwarranted conclusions. It's the way with a great many
who have managed somehow to acquire a certain prominence
and set themselves up as founts of knowledge and law givers.
',pn li. Lindsey of Denver is another of the type.
. Census bureau data recently gathered has disclosed the rale
of progressive increase of divorces in the United States. One
divorce to 7.2 marriages is said to le indicated. Denver claims
the record of one divorce to 2.f maniages. Lindsey says fhat
does not half tell the story. He adds "separations." to divorces!
and finds that together they equal the number of marriages.!
Which would mean that theie is no such thing as a married
couple living together. Hut he finds very many unmarried cou
ples living together in Denver and concludes "they are gradually
creating a new standard of relationship." His profoundly philo
sophical mind works this way: "1 cannot say it is right. What
is right imd what is wrong must, in large measure, be left to
time."
The vice of this position is its cowardice. A thing cannot
be right if 'it is wrong. One who presumes to S)eak for public
enlightenment is not privileged to take a neutral position with
respect to n moral question. Social standards are changing in
niHiiv nartieulars. whether for uood or ill. That which is com
monly regarded inproper today may be viewed differently later, j
Altered conditions make for altered manners. Hut to avoid a
plunge into chaos it is essential that opinions be sharply defined
that the needed influence give direction to the course of models.
The man who has no opinion on the merits of the condition
Lindsey reports should remain silent.

Making Shopping A Pleasure
Pei'Hons who have gouu IhrouKli fw last-minuto ChriHtnuw
slioppinK rushes do not noert to lie uivd to do their buying
early; they need only to he reminded. Advertisements will soon
he'cinphuHizing1 this counsel from every pajro, billboard and win
. dow. In the meantime stores, larjre and small, are making com
plete showings of Christmas goods at an unusually early date;
it is to their interest, also, to spread the holiday trade over a
period of weeks.
Many look upon selection of Christmas gifts as n disagreeable
task to be delayed as long as possible. Others are merely care
less. Some, .unsystematic, are daily reminded of some friend
whose remembrance has hot been obtained. These are the vari
ous procrastinalors who elbow and stampede each other, break
down the display tables and overwhelm the clerks in Christmas
week.
Yet Christmas inlying, properly done, may well be a great
pleasure. Hut to be done properly requires foresight, careful and
systematic planning and prompt action. Call a family council
this evening, make out a list of those to be remembered and
dt-cide what shall be sent to each. Then do your buying at the
earliest possible moment. Your shopping will be pleasant and
Christmas wool? will then find you care-free, with a capacity
for real enjoyment of the Yuletide, '
If all would co-operate, the holiday time could be made happy
for the shopgirl, for Jtho delivery boys, for the postman. Hut
they are iolped by the early shopper hardly more than the early
shopper helps himself. " f J f !

Men's Winter Clothes
Yqu can't tell much about clothes, just by
looking at .them; you've got to give them the
test or wear. And after you've worn them it's
too late to change your mind. For that reason
it's a good policy to know what you are buying.
A lot of money and disappointment can be
saved by being sure beforehand.
We'll save them for you, too.

Some Livestock on
Every Farm
Specialized grain and hay farming without live-'
stock to consume the. surplus is like raising livestock
without growing any of the feeds which will reduce
the cost of producing the animals. Either way puts
the scale of profits out of balance and leaves the
farmer to face the possibilities of loss on maybe his
one and only class of production.
Similarly, milk products are more profitable than
producing cattle for slaughter, for it is said the out
put of dairy products in one year is greater in dol
lars and cents that the total slaughtered worth of
all the cattle in the country.
