HOMEY IMIII.OSODHY FOR Ittti
Antl-rellglonists Belze on the evi
dences of the beginnings of animal
life, as found in solid rocks that
must he untold millions of yearn
old, to refute the Bible story of the
creation by God. They forget that
Genesis was written in an age that
thought fancifully and by men who
spoke in representative terms. The
truth is that there is nothing in the
highest or the deepest modern science
to disprove that God created the ori
ginal substance which became aijlmal
bone and muscle and brain, and gavr
it life, and In His own good time
invested it- the human section of
His creature creation- - with a death
less sou!, it doesn't matter In the
slightest how many millions of yearn
ago those events look place.
WHAT MOTHER EARNS
That excellent country newspaper,
the West Point (Nebr.) Republican
carries the following story in its cur
rent issue and declares that every
newspaper In the land should print
it. We agree, and here it is:
"She never earned any money
she lives on an Ohio farm, but she
lives on almost every other farm.
She Is somebody's mother, maybe
your own. She has eurned nothing.
No, but during her thirty working
years she has served 4 2 .'J , 9 8 3 meals;
she has made 3,123 garments, 32,
000 loaves of bread, 5,390 pies, 1,
600 gallons of lard; she has grown
1,4 32 bushels of vegetables, and has
raised 7,ti60 chickens; churned 5,430
pounds of butter; put up 3.626 jars
of preserves; scrubbed 177,725 ar
ticles or laundry; and she has put in
36,8 39 hours of sweeping and wash
ing and scrubbing. At accepted prices
for this work it is worth $116,480
She can't retire on her savings she
has to keep on. Not earning! No.

INCREASE OF FARM TENANCY
An alarming reduction In the per
centage or farm ownership Is found
in the 1920 census figures on farm
operation and ownership. These are
some or the fuels
The 1920 census shows 6,449,242
farms in the United Status, or which
number 3,924,861, or 60.9 per cent,
are operated by their owners. Of
the remainder, 68,512 are operated
by managers and 2,455,879 by
tenants.
This is the smallest percentage of
faruiB operated by owners that the
ceitsu has ever shown Twenty
years ago 64.4 per cent of the farms
were operated by their owners and
ten years ago 62.8 per cent.
In one Btute- Georgia there are
206,875 tenants, as compared with
102,123 term owners. In HTM
other states (all in the south) there
are more tenuuts than furm owners.
These states are Alabama. Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi. Oklahoma,
South Carolina and Texas.
However, the one-crop system
practiced In the above states Is not
alone responsible for the decrease In
rami ownership. In nine other states,
principally In the dlversined tanning
section ot the middle west, the per
centage of tenants ranges trom 34
to 50 per cent. These states are
Delaware. Illinois, Iowa. Kansas,
Kentucky. Nebraska, North Carolina.
South Dakota and Tennessee.
MAN AND MONKEY;
Mini DIFFERENCE
"No wonder Uiey say man is dts
seemled from the monkey." Extract
from h New York pKr.
Lt 'em say It all they please, bro
thers. It isn't so. And next time
somebody springs that common lie
on you as a scieutlrtc fact, just tell
him that no competent scientist ever
aid anything of the kind
When the average chap speaks
of our descent from the monkey,
he of eourse thinks of the monkey
or the ape that now Inhabitants the
earth and which is so familiar in
menageries, eoos and museums.
What modern biologists beginning
with Darwin claim and prove to the
satisfaction of the learned is that
man is descended from the same
"root," the same original animal sub
tance of millions of years ago that
the ape is descended from That is
far from saying that said "roof was
as ape. The ridiculous monkey of
today u uiost certainly no mora llk
that original stem, no more like that
original "root" father than man him
self is like that original father.
When you realize the evolution of
the bird which, as has been abun
dantly proved, is descended from the
reptile, and the reptile from water
animals, you will understand what
changes muBt have come through
evolution to both the human and the
ape since that original ancestor lived,
and because extinct many, many mil
lions of years ago, according to the
scientists.
He may have been the most beaut i
ful creature' the earth has ever seen
throwing out one branch that de
generated steadily through ages int
the ape and another brancli that pro
grossed through ages into the God
like human.
But at worst, when you think of
your fellow beings, there is not the
slightest reason why you should as
oclftte their ancestry with the mon
keys of this age.
TOO MICH FOR HER
Unobserved and unannounced, the
president of a "ladies' aid" society
entered the composing room of a
newspaper just in time to hear these
words issue from the mouth of the
boss-printer:
"Billy go to the devil and tell him
to finish that 'murder' he began this
morning. Then 'kill' William J. Bry
an's youngest grandchild, and dump
the 'Sweet Angel of Mercy' into the
hell-box. Then make up that 'Naugh
ty Parisian Actress', and lock up
'The Lady in Her Boudoir.' "
Horrified, the good woman fled,
and now her children wonder why
they are not allowed to play with
the printer's youngsters. Philadel

FARM BUREAU PLANS
BIG MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Work of Bureau Merits Support of
Ituslne.sN and Professional
Men.
(By C. C. Calkins.)
The Morrow County Farm Bureau
executive committee met and made
plans for their coming Farm
Bureau organization. They plan to
use President Mansfield In a speak
ing tour just as soon as he will be
available. A committee will endea
vor to make arrangements to have
President Mansfield to visit every
farm bureau community in the coun
ty while here.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
eration has been representing the
farmers interests as they have never
been represented before. Our state
farm bureau president, George A.
Mansfield, represented the farmers
interests in a hearing before the'
Governors of the Federal Reserve
Board of the United States from
which we have been able to get action
It is due to organized efforts that the
Federal Reserve banks are accepting
wheat paper as collateral atter the
harvest period.
The co-operative wool and grain
marketing organizat ions are direct
results or the work of the farmers
In the county organized in their farm
bureau In summing it up the fan 1
bureau in the states of the nation ro
presenting the farmers are bringing
pressure to bear such as they have
DflVcr brought to bear before and
present the only ray of hope which
the farmers have at the present time
for a hearing of their own problems.
The executive committee decided
upon a $f membership foe which will
be used about as follows: 50 cent
dues In the American Farm Bureau
Federation, $1.50 goes to the sup
pert of the state farm bureau, $1
will be used to finance the Btata
Farm Bureau paper, which will go
to every member and the other $2
will be used to lake care of the farm
bureau work in the county. Member
ship fee has been cut down to the
lowest possible point in order) to
make it possible for every Morrow
county farmer to become a member
of this farm organization. The cam
paign will be handled entirely n
volunteer committeemen. Just as
soon as it is possible to arrange for
definite speaking dates and arrange
ments are made in the different com
munities to handle the membership,
the campaign will be launched. The
annual Morrow County Farm Bureau
meeting will be held about a week
after the close of the speaking tour
and tin. membership drive will be
wound up at that timo.
The community program of work
will be worked out at the time the
meetings ar held in the different
communities.
Though the farm bureau is a
farmers organization, it certainly
merits the whole hearted support of
the doctors, lawyers, merchants, and
everyone who are depending upon
agriculture for their business.
Complete details will be outlined
later.

Separators Clarify "ider
An ordinary cream separator may
be used to clarify apple cider on the
farm. It will clog up after a while
but by cleaning it out from time to
time a very clear product may be ab
tained in this way.
