Towns and communities have per sonalities and individual characters just the same as do tile citizens of which they are made up. In fact the character of a community is precisely determined by the character of its citizens. Hence when a citizen finds something wrong with his community and wishes to complain about it he may criticize himself. The community has no existence independently of the citizens or which it is composed.Every delect In it If pursued to its ulti mate source will lead right up to the iront doors of Its citizens. Talk about "kicking oneself," that is exactly what a citizen does when he "knocks" his town and commun ity. The pity is that the "kick-in'.' and "knocking" are not actual In stead or metaphorical. ' There is nobody so stUDid as not to prefer a good town to a bad town or no town at all. But there are manv people who do not know, or at anv rate they do not seem to care, what they must do to make their town a good town; and they do not seem to realize that by a little knockine of one Kind or another a town's citizens can kill it almost beyond resuscita tion. Let any man ask himself what makes a town and he is bou nrl tn answer, "Trade business!" Take away the trade of a town and vnn take away the life of the town itself the air it breathes, the food it con sumes. The avenues of trade are to the town and community exactly what the blood vessels are to the human body. On every hand are ex amples to illustrate the importance of trade in the life of communitips and the life of the nation itself. .The retail store as a way station in tile channels of trade is an indisnena- able factor in perpetrating the com mercial are of a community. With the desthuction of the commercial life of the central town or citv of a community all other forms of social me must cease to exist because thev all depend upon commerce and trade. For this reason the citizen needs the town fully as much as the town needs the citizen. Let him not suppose-that in the few packages he carries home from the local store are contained all the things. he receives for the money he passes over-th the local merchants. Substantially all me comiorts and conveniences of modern civilized society are passed out to him in return for his patron izing his home merchants. The sur est way to deorive himself nf til nan facilities and environments that make nre worth living is to withdraw his patronage from the local town. By Peter Radford. Those who till the soil are the chosen people of God. Farming is as old as the human race and is yet in its infancy. Success is bound to come to the farmer who plans while he plows, NO Civilization has ever advanced beyond its agricultural development. No farmer is successful who thinks more of his barn than he does of his home. The development of the farmer himself must precede the full devel opment of the ground he tills. The most beautiful fact in the far mer's work is that everything he piants is a lesson in faith. 1 The best farmer does not bother about getting ahead of his np.idihnr his great business is to get ahead of himself, i We must give to the DeoDle whn live on the farm the same education al advantages for their children as those of the cities enjoy. The country clergy is an a;ency of much potentiality because the rural life movement is religious aj well as industrial and social. There should be a social a-d an in dustrial survey of every community. the pastor, the teacher and the school and the church offijials are they who should take such a survey. In a recent survey of a community in New England, the average annual income of 154 farmers who had a common school education was $229, while the averaee net innnmo nt 199 farmers of the same locality with a high school education was $482 an nually. This was worth to each far mer who possessed it $253 each year. Our electrical supplies are on dis play in the Scrivener buildine. Call and inspect them. Heppner Light & Water Co. You young men. or mlddlo mrd men, or old men had best take note or the signs of the times, and make up your minds to the fact that in this day and generation it is your drink or your job. You may com promise with your conscience, or laugh at the oracular temperance orator, but you cannot fool the man with your job in his hand. Nor can you sign a truce with the growing ostracism that separates success from the man who habitually crooks his elbow. Atlanta Constitution. According to Ray Stannard Baker in an article just published, the Uni ted States government -spends 63 cents of every dollar it collects for waf. Of the 37 cents left from each dollar after taking out the cost of war 5 cents, the next largest single sum goes for improving rivers and harbors. Four cents goes for the en couragement of agriculture and for estry, 3 cents for building the Pana ma Canal, 1 cents for care of the Indians, 1 cent for maintaining the United States Congress, half a cent for assisting the laboring classes, and the rest for miscellaneous expenses. Not to Blame. "What shall we do, John," said the farmer's wife, who had retained much of her sentiment through 25 years of married life, "what shall we do to celebrate our silver wedding, "Reckon up where all the silver's gone to in bringing up our family," grumbled he. "Oh, no, John, it must be some thing real good and out of the ordin ary. I tell you what. Let us kill the fattest pig and give a banquet." "Maria," said the husband solemn ly. "I don't see how the unfortunate animat'is to be blamed for what hap pened 25 years ago." Atlanta Jour nal. ,- , Highest cash price bald at all times for hides, pelts and furs.

Pay for the current at this rate for 12 months and the iron is yours, A Grave Injustice Do those who advocate the absolute prohibition of the manufacture and Bale of all alcoholic liquors realize the seriousness of the social and economic crisis that would be precipitated by such legis lation? Are they aware of the fact that the heads of families aggregating probably not less than three million people would suddenly be deprived of their sole means of livelihood, and that properties valued in the aggregate at perhaps two billion dollars would as sud denly become worthless? It is doubtful if they do fully realize this.yet these are figures given by no less a writer than Dr. Henry Smith Williams in an article in the "Ladies Home Journal," reviewing the pro hibition movement. And he adds: "Personally I am at a loss to understand how anyone who has the slightest, grasp of economio questions can contem plate with equanimity the anarch istic possibilities nay, certainties which reveal themselves through the slightest use of the imagina tion ia connection with these fig ures. To me, at least, it seems obvious that the only thing which has kept the prohibition move ment before the people of the United States ist)ic simple fact ' that prohibition does not prohibit. " Thinking men and women who seek the truth and are unswayed by prejudice, and who give the foregoing facts the consideration they deserve cannot escape a lik conclusion. Paid Advertisement. 1 E. D.
