DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS I will put My Spirit within you, and cause us to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.—Ezekiel 36:27-28. Just as fast as we acquire in ourselves the spirit of purity and love, we send out an influence of purity and love upon others, whether we know it or not. Indeed, the greatest moral force in the world is of the silent and secret kind. No man liceth to himself. As we ourselves are pure or base, selfish or loving, so do we give our own color to those about us.—Anonymous RESPECTABLE CITIZENS A writer who declares that he doesn't criticize the prohibition law—he just looks on and wonders, observes that the immense profits of the bootleggers are due to the fact that multitudes of the most wealthy and most respectable citizens are determined to have and use intoxicating drinks, law or no law, and that the immense fines paid by the bootleger and the marvelous profits of his business prove conclusively that he is not a poor, criminal, and depraved class that support the business, but our best, most respectable citizens. Very good argument, but there might be a difference of opinion as to who are "our best, most respectable citizens." He would seem to intimate that, being wealthy, they are respectable and should be beyond the law. If they were not wealthy they would belong to the "poor, criminal and depraved class" and their determination to have what they wanted, "law or no law," would of course be all wrong then. Legislators are sent to Sacramento to serve the people faithfully, not to play politics. COAST GUARDS HEROIC IN RESCUE WORK The laurels go to the coast guards. Along these Pacific shores; and along the bleak Atlantic strand, these hardy men stand ready to go forth at any hour, to battle the seas to death, if need be, in efforts to rescue the endangered. This was demonstrated in the thrilling struggle of sturdy guards along the Massachusetts coast in fighting heavy seas for seventeen hours to reach the stranded submarine S-19. In their rough trip the seamen had their lifeboat smashed and they were thrown into the chill waters. But all were rescued. The services of these gallant men were not needed. But they were there to answer the call, had the submarine required rescue efforts. It is characteristic of the coast guard everywhere to brave dangers without hesitancy or question, where human lives are imperiled on the waters. It is a service that thrills all who appreciate unselfish devotion of men to others. Imperiled from burning buildings. It requires courage of a high order to serve faithfully in these life-conserving organizations. DOES YOUR WATCH KEEP TIME? IF NOT, BRING IT TO US! Special Attention to Ladies' Wrist Watches E. C.

DINNER STORIES At a country dance in Georgia, when the fiddlers had resined their bows and taken their places on the platform, the floor manager rose. "Git yo' partners fo' a cotilion," he shouted imperiously. "All yo' ladies an' gemmen wit' shoes an' stockings take yo' place in the middle of th' flo'. All yo' ladies an' gemmen dat wears shoes an' no stockin's, take yo' places immejitly behind dem. An' yo' barefoot crowd, yo' just jig it roun' in th' corners." He was wandering around aimlessly in a department store when the floorwalker approached him. "Looking for something?" he asked. "Yes, my wife," replied the man. "Would you mind describing her, please?" "Well, she's a sort of illmousine, with heavy tread, and usually runs in low." "It was 'open house' and there were many guests," tells Lord Castleton. "On coming down to dinner I heard loud shrirks and oaths, but could not make out what was happening. The other guests and I consulted, and eventually rang for the butler. My father expressed anxiety. 'I hope no one is ill,' he said. 'We heard loud cries—perhaps we ought to send for the doctor.'" "'Tis nothing, your honor,' answered the old butter at once. They're putting a clane shirt on the master, and he hates the cowld of it and let a roar or two out of him.'" A colonel's wife, who is doing real nursing at a certain London hospital, was recently offered a tip of six pence by an honest old couple in gratitude for her care of their soldier son. Tact personified, she slipped the six pence back into the father's hand, saying smilingly that nurses weren't allowed to accept gratuities. "Oh, that'll be all right, sister.

MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1925 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying POPULAR INDIFFERENCE—Punxsutowney Spirit Team work between the scientists and the people in promoting the conservation of resources was asked by the president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at its recent annual meeting. While our scientists have pointed out a hundred ways in which this country fails to conserve its resources, the people as a whole remain indifferent, going along with their work and their play as though they had no responsibility in the matter. For instance, it has been pointed out, over and over again, that the reckless cutting of forests lessens the water supplies, water power and building materials. It has been repeatedly shown how the pollution of streams endangers health, destroys food fish and deprives the people of the sport of fishing. And many other equally important matters. Yet it is extremely difficult to get even a few people interested in these questions. Some day, as intelligence grows, and the people develop a keener sense of civic responsibility, they will demand that legislators and other officials deal scientifically with such problems instead of spending so much time playing politics. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE A DEFENSE OF TRUANTS Robert Louis Stevenson, in an essay which he adroitly entitled "An Apology for Idlers," expresses the view that "If you will look back on your own education, I am sure it will not be the full, vivid, instructive hours of truancy that you will regret; you would rather cancel some lacklustre periods between sleep and waking in the class. "For my own part I have attended a good many lectures in my time. I still remember that the spinning of a top is a case of Kinetic Stability. I still remember that Emphysema is not a disease, nor Stilllife a crime. But though I would not willingly part with such scraps of science, I do not set the same store by them as by certain other odds and ends that I came by in the open street when I was playing truant. "This is not the moment to dilate on that mighty place of education which was the favorite school of Dickens and Balzac, and turns out yearly many illogical masters in the Science of the Aspects of Life. Suffice it to say this: If a lad does not learn in the streets he has no faculty of learning. "An intelligent person, looking out of his eyes and heartening in his ears, with a smile on his face all of the time, will get more true education than many another in a life of heroic vigils. There is certainly some chill and arid knowledge to be found upon the summits of formal and laborious science; but it is all round about you, and for the trouble of looking, you will acquire the warm and palpitating facts of life. "While others are filling their memory with a lumber words, one-half of which they will forget before the week be out." It is not the moment to dilate on that mighty place of education which was the favorite school of Dickens and Balzac, and turns out yearly many inglorious masters in the Science of the Aspects of Life.

"An intelligent person, looking out of his eyes and heartening in his ears, with a smile on his face all of the time, will get more true education than many another in a life of heroic vigils.

While others are filling their memory with a lumber words, one-half of which they will forget before the week be one truant may learn some really useful art; to play the fiddle, learn how to know a good cigar, or speak with ease and opportunity to all varieties of men. Many who have 'plied their book diligently,' and known all about some one branch or another of accepted lore, come out of the study with an ancient and owl-like demeanor, and prove dry, stockish and dyspeptic in all the better and brighter parts of life. Many make a large fortune, who remain under-bred and pathetically stupid to the last. And meanwhile there goes the idler, who began life along with them—by your leave, a different picture. He has had time to take care of his health and his spirits; he has been a great deal in the open air, which is the most salutary of all things for both body and mind; and if he has never read the great Book of Life in recondite places, he has dipped into it, and skimmed it over to excellent purpose. The idler has another and more important quality than these. I mean his wisdom. He who has looked on at the childish satisfaction of other people in their hobbies, will regard his own with only a very ironical indulgence. He will noe be heard among the dogmatists. He will have a great and cool allowance for all sorts of people and opinions. If he finds no out-of-the-way truths, he will identify himself with no very burning falsehood. His way takes him along a by-road, not much frequented—but very even and pleasant, which is called Commonplace Lane, and leads to the Belvedere of Commonsense." Ford CLOSED CARS The biggest value in a winter car for the family. The Fordor Sedan provides room for the whole family. Yet it is a light, easily handled car—the kind you want for the months of changeable weather and difficult driving conditions. It is fitted with carpet and curtains that harmonize with the color tones of the two wide, deeply upholstered seats. It enables you to keep comfortably warm, yet have plenty of fresh air since the Fordor Sedan is equipped with Cowl Ventilator and windows that lower by revolving regulators. You cannot own a car that offers you better value or more widely useful service. And the greater economy of operating a Ford lends emphasis to the practical worth of this car to you.
