The one worn answer care back. "BUILD." It wa that faith in the future that re made the inter-ocean metropolis. Every city is aft treat as the faith of it? staunehest citizens. No great er. The real asset of a city is not its pa?t but it future. Complacency is as dead'.y to a com munity as to an individual. The town that waits to be dUcovered has hard ly a pair.bier's chance of prowth. The town that has discovered itself has opened future's door to greatness. The city that would find for itself a future must utilire the NTW and not the old. Each ape demands improve ment on the pat. The merchant who bo respects an cient methods that he ipnores the newest ideas in merchandising, must lose his lead to the merchant who is caper to employ the last in salesman efficiency. The town that holds fast to obso lete ideas and ideals surrenders su premacy. The community that ex pects to fall by accident into indus trial preatness through no effort of its own, has a child-like faith in mod ern miracles, and has as little chance of its hope's fulfilment as has the youth who, by wishing, would see the river change to honey. The wish is worthless without the will. Imagination precedes the chitect's pencil in its course, but the mason must follow that tracing ere the castle in air is anchored to earth. Ehtical laws are as essential to life and the growth of things as physical laws. The flower unfolds according to a well-ordered plan. Town prob lems are merely the common prob lems of individuals. The town that is without plan or purpose, without ideas and ideais. is as colorless and as hopeless as the individual who lecks these attributes, as the mason without blueprints before him. The town that permits selfish in terests to outplay common interests. that ai.ows personal wants to warp community iJeals, and low aims to thwart high aims, handicaps its chances of being bipper and better. Many minds are wiser than one mind. We create instruments of gov ernment, develop boards of commerce and clubs dedicated to civic interests to pool the intelligence of thinking minds. Secure is the town whose des tinies are carved out by the common judgment of minds, endowed with the enthusiasm of common sense. The satisfied mind wants nothing, does nothing, accomplishes nothing. But the mind that is obsessed with a wholesome unrest is likely to bless the world with benefits. So with the town. The community that is eager to be better is destined to be bigger, healthier, wealthier, and wiser. 4 CHEER UP, YOU'LL PAY JUST THE SAME. THEEE is a delightful humor in the announcement that the bituminous coal operators and miners in the cen tral competitive field have come to an agreement to have no strike this year. The miners evidently have awakened to the fact that a strike spells only one thing a greater ex ploitation of the public of which they themselves are a part. For the opera tors, their profits are secure either way. The understanding to maintain peace was reached when the operators agreed not to reduce the present wage rates. That was the issue last year, 80 technically, the miners have won a point. The operators, however, al so have won, and now it only remains for the consumers to pay the price. Wages are now fixed on ft basis that the miners will have to work approx imately two-thirds of the time. Jn other words, there are too many miners for the needed amount of coal, end so the pubbc must carry the bur den of the idle time. When there are too few workers the public paj. the hiph prices because of lack of pro duction. We could understand this economic operation if there were any law cora peilinjr a man to be ft coal miner, but as there is not, it would seem that the coal business is being conducted with really scientific inefficiency and a total disregard of the public. The robbing of the people this yer is lit tle short of flagrant grand larceny. AMONG deductions allowed taxpay ers in computing their net income for the purpose of paying a federal income tax. announces Clyde G. Hunt ley, collector of internal revenue, are "contributions or gifta made within the taxable year to corporations or ganized and operated exclusively for relipious, charitable, literary, scien tific, or educational purposes, includ ing posts of the American Legion, or the Women's Auxiliary unita thereof, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals, no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private stpckholder or individual, or to the special fund for vocational rehabilitation authorised by sectino 7 of the Vocational Reha bilitation Act, to an amount not in excess of 15 per cent of the taxpay er's net income from all sources as computed without the benefit of this paragraph, NO ROOM HERE FOR PES SIMISTS. - THIS is a big country this United States of America. It is big enough to hold all of the quarreling countries of Europe and then some. It is an opulent country, possessing more wealth, natural resources and gifts from God than all the other countries put together. All the mines, forests and oil wells across the sea are not worth half the value of American optimism. Quar rels and wars over material wealth kill the spirit of humanity. America has vast wealth; yet by far its biggest asset is its hopeful and bouyant spirit, its wealth of vis ion, its big heart, its faith in human ity, its boundless optimism. A real Amercan lives and breathes big ideashe sees big mountains and lakes, grows big in sympathy and love, binds up the wounds of the af flicted and heals the hearts of the suffering. Amid all the trials of the past, sur rounded by human woe and misery, the true American is an optimist. He believes in God, in himself and his country. There is no room in this land so richly blessed, for a pessimist or ft joy-killer. We haven't time to nurse moral dyspepsia or mental miasma. Day by day, in every way, we grow bigger in spirit and better in heart and hope, if we will. There neyer was a time when Amer ica needed this spirit more than it does right now. For some unknown reason, the national note is dim in spots; there are sounds of discord, and signs of divided council. It is the wail of the pessimist, the howl of the wolf who would devour to fatten himself. There is no room for the pessimist. Out with him and all his kind. The future beckons America on to brighter, broader and better morn. The hour of the optimist is at hand. The future of our country is what the optimists make it. No room for the pessimists! Na tional Republican. IN MAKING out his ineoy tax re turn, a farmer may deduct all amounts paid in the production, har vesting, and marketing of crops, in cluding labor, cost of seed and fer tilizer used, cost of minor repairs to farm buildings (other than dwelling), cost of fences and machinery and the cost of small tools used up in the course of the year, such as pitchforks, handrakes, hoes, axes, etc. GOVERNMENT COSTS YOU $220 A YEAR. WILLIAM P. HELM, JR., who delves into statistics for the National Budget Committee, tells as that near ly eight and one-half billion dollars are spent every year in governing the United States. In round figures, there are forty millions of workers in the country having a gross income of $60,000, 000.000. This means that the burden of government on every man and wo man in business or professional life, including the 2,000,000 persons on the public payrolls, stands at $220 per head annually. Surely, if this fact were driven home there would be ft deeper civic interest manifest among our thoughtless and spend thrift people. If the annual governmental expen diture was paid in labor instead of in money, every worker in the United States would be giving up as his or her share, more than seven weeks of work every year. The cost of government becomes staggering when closely considered. The number of public servants in the United States is greater than the number of all the military forces we sent abroad for the world war. If their salaries had to be paid in gold i woum require all the gold in the world to meet the bill for a single yer. Counting the average family as five ment is about $400 per family per year. All of which comes as a re mit nf la.'lr f .-..., .-.w- , nkli. fairs. The situation is a sad reflec tion on the intelligent understanding of a businesslike people. j Slat's Diary ! lent eat v . j about lik tW 1 8ays 80 m -iH.' Viif she wj r By ROSS FARQUHAR.

Jqi Poem by w, THE MENACE. ITH all the rubbish that litters our minds, we only endure the im possible kinds; there's some that blows in, with the dust of the day. but it's never much trouble to bresh em away There's other af flictions that do us to death they sizzle our whiskers and shorten our breath and the geezer in front of the villinnous clan, is what we may term "the impossible man." The wisdom of sages is stored in his bean he's the knowingest critter that ever was seen He's allers around where there's nothin' to do, discussin' religion and politics, tool He can periscope, publish, and piffle, and plan this moat super-human, im possible man. . . . He's full, to the muzzle, of virulent gall, and gineral ly fights with his back to the wall for no one endorses his militant jazz if any one did it he's sorry he has, we're sick of his bombast, and bab ble, and bosh h,e ort to be sent to the Senate, begosh! because they are conscious of the fact that they are grossly sinful. selfish, conceited, and derelict in the performance of their duties. They know that if they face the gospel as expounded from God's infallible Word they will have to surrender their sel fish, mean, conceited business and professional attitude toward the church and the gospel. They are trying to avoid the doctrine of re sponsibility, accountability, and judgment. They are foolish. Every sensible man ought to prepare to meet his God. Every desirable, wor thy citizen ought to be found in his pew every Sunday morning worship ping God.

The following reasons can be assigned why certain classes neglect this important duty: FIRST: A seared Sabbath consci ence sends men to the golf links on the Holy Sabbath. SECOND: The gasoline mania causes thousands to take the family, the dog, and the lunch basket into the automobile early Sabbath morn ing when they begin to break the Ten Commandments, the speed laws, the rules of domestic tranquility, and Sabbath observance. THIRD: Screenitis sends thous ands into the motion picture houses where they make a pagan attack up on God's Holy Day. FOURTH: Laziness keeps thous ands at home wrapped in the bed clothes too indolent and sloven to dress and attend divine worship. FIFTH: False conception of wor ship or because the sermon is poor, they drift into the habit of neglect ing church attendance. SIXTH: A large number of those who stay away do so because they are plain pagans; their education ia de fective. No well-bred, well-trained, modern, up-to-date, and otherwise normal man stays away from church services. SEVENTH: There are thousands of business, professional, political, and official men who neglect church P(nC I'Li-.-SEe can't Wi"-' cv-a-a--! just Eli it's flUJuL SBEAX.
