SOME GOOD PARAGRAPHS.

! I call that mind free which resists
the bondage habit, but which forgets
what is behind, listens for new and.
higher monitions of consciense and re
joices to pour itself forth in fresh and
higher exertions.
| Go forth into the busy world and
love it, try what you can do for men
rather than what you can make them
do for you, and y<pu will know what
it is to have men yours, better than >
if you were their king and master.
| Our true knowledge is to know our
own ignorance. Our true strength is
to know our own weakness. Our true
dignity is' to confess that we have ho
dignity, and are nobody and nothing in
ourselves.
I cannqfc too earnestly insist upon 1
the need of our holding each man for
himself, by some faith which shall:
anchor him. It must not be taken up 1
by chance. We must fight for it, for!
only so will it become our faith.

WHAT IS YOUR MONEY WORTH?
_
Money as a purchasing agent means
100 cents to a dollar. Bub the great
est spending value of money is in
what it will buy judiciously. Money
value and economy are often mistak
en for the same thing. A wooden
house costs about two-thirds of the
price of a brick one, but it is econ
omy to put more money In the more
substantial building.
So it is with the purchase of the
commodities of every day use. A shoe
with a hole in it wjll destory more
hose than a new pair or a half sole
will cost. So it it an economy to
spend money for the new shoes.
Your local merchant carries two or
three grades of almost every staple
article and the close observer can easi
ly see that the best value for your
j money lies not in price but in service.
I The practice of sending money away
! from home for articles to save what
may seem a substantial reduction from
the local merchant’s price is often a
j waste of money. Your local merchant
i offers you a choice of several grades
and almost inevitably stands ready
to adjust any shortcomings the arti
cles may later be found to have. His
success depends not upon your first
purchase but upon your future pat
ronage. The local merchant uses his
long established business as an as
set. The mail order house does not
I care about their past performance, for
! some often change their names every
year. Some people though, are like
, the fish that tries every hook on the
stream.
I If all the members employed in the
I building trades in this section sent
their money off for goods that they
could buy at home, how long would
; they be able to find remunerative em
i ployment?
! By patronizing local merchants and
home industriesyour are using the on
ily method of keeping prosperity in
your community. The economy of
money value lies in the good you re
ceive not only directly but indirectly
from what you spend.
One of the truest mottoes ever post
ed in a thriving town reads: “Remem
ber, you get just exactly what you pay
for.” Whether groceries; hardware,
; lumber or bricks, you do not find any-
I one selling an article for less than it
! cost.
) You would be afraid to eat steak
that some man was selling for 10c.
' a pound when vou knew that # every
other merchant in town had to charge
I 25 '•ents to make a living profitt.
Think it over. Every dollar you
at home gives you a golden op
portunity to get that same dollar back
again.

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT.
Clarence Poe, in Progressive Farmer.
It is already evident that the ques- j
tion of prohibition enforcement is to!
have a large place both in the State;
elections this year and in the Presi-;
dential contest next year.
Let us take this extreme case, .j
Softie weeks ago a Methodist publi
cation board sent out the following i
notice: “A young man named Ruby,
a prohibition enforcement officer, re
cently participated in a raid on a still
in* Maryland. At that time he was
hit in the head with an axe. A, few
days ago in a raid on a house alleg
ed to contain a large quantity of li
quor, he was shot .through the right
lung by the Woman of the house. To
day his wife sits by his bedside won
dering what the people of the United
States are going to do about this kind
of thing.”
Barron’s, a great Wall Street week
ly, bitterly anti-prohibition in senti
ment, reprinted the above item with
this sarcastic comment:
“The people of the United States
are putting the matter squarely up
to Ruby. It is perhaps not surpris
ing that it was impossible to get the
thing through his head, even with an
axe, and it is to be regretted that the
contents of the shotgun failed to pene
trate his intelligence. But the peo
ple of the United States were not con
sulted when Ruby and others were
told to enforce a law which made leg
ally wrong what was . not morally
wrong. Perhaps this unfortunate man
has grounds for damages against the
Anti-Saloon League. But the cure in
dicated is that he should get into some
other line of business. His friends
will admit that he is slow to take a
hint.”
The distinguished and wealthy edi
tor of Barron’s goes into violent hys
terics at the very idea of socialists or
“anarchists” taking the law into their
own fyands or in any way interfering
with opt “sacred constitution” inso
far as it protects the property rights.
But a law aimed to save the young
men of America from losing life and
honor through alcoholism, a law de
signed to save mothers from the sor
row of seeing their sons fill drunk
ards’ graves, a law to save wives and
children from the wretchedness and
poverty the saloon has brought on
countless thousands in the past—Bar
ron’s would encourage not only the
violation of that law, but the killing
of whatever brave men go out to en
force it. It is teaching precisely the
same doctrine as the worst anarchist
in America—the disregard and viola
tion by an individual of such law as
does not suit that individual’s fancies.
Corrine Poth, 13-year-old New York
girl, enjoys the distinction of being
the greatest equestrienne in the coun
try.
The Old Deacon’s Version of the Story *
of the Rich Man and Lazarus.
: I s’pose yo’ know de story, O my bro
therin’, er de man,
I Dat wuz rich ez cream, en livin’ on

De rich y man wuz a feastin’ f’um his

Kaze he iraid his po’ relation come

I spec’ he had two ’possums on de
table long and wide,
En a jimmy-john of cane juice wuz
a-settin’ by his side.
En he say: “Dis heah des suits me,
en I gwine ter eat my fill,
But I’ll sic de dogs on .Laz’rus es he
waitin’ round heah still.
En de dogs commenced dey barkin’,
raise a racket high en low,
En when Laz’rus see ’em cornin’ he
decided ’twuz time ter go.
So, he limp off on his crutches, en de
rich man think it’s fun,
But I recon Laz’rus answer: “I’ll git
even wid you, son.”
De rich man so enjoy hisse’f he laugh
hisse’f ter bed.
En, brothern, when he wake up he
wuz still, stone dead.
En den he raise a racket, en he hol
ler out, “What dis?”
De place is onfamiliar, en I wonder
whar it is?
Den Satin, he mak’ answer, “I’m de

You’s in de fire department er de

Den de rich man say, “Whare’ Laz’rus
dat wuz beggin’ at my gate?”
En Satin tell him, “Yarider, wid a sil

En he eatin’ fit ter kill hisse’f an’ he’s

Wid good ol’ Marster Abra’m but he

“Will you please, suh,” say de rich
man, “ax him bring a drink ter me,
Wid a li’l ice ter cool it ? Kaze I hot
ez kin be;” ,
But Satin fall ter laughin’, whilst he
stir de fire aroun’; j
“De ice would melt, my brother, for’!
it ever hit de groun’.”
Den he fil a cup wid brimlstone —fill

But de rich man say he swear off, dat

But Satin grab his pitchfork whilst

En in ’bout a half a second he had
