Did you like the home talent last night?

"I might have killed him. but instead I only broke his leg, and now he talks about suing me!" :o: President Coolidge doesn't seem to want the "buck" passed to him. He pledged the federal government to do its part, but wants more co-operation from the states. o:o Remember the old fashioned mag azine, rich with the best work.i of Hardy, Twain. Kipling, Cable, Kjw ells, F. H. Smith and the rest, which people saved and bound into book form? :o: A scientist announces that a good grade of paper can be made from banana skins.' But from all we can gather from current song lore, it probably would be too expensive for newspaper use. :o: A literary critic complains that for every dollar spent on books $27 are spent on chewing gum. Oh, well, one can borrow books, but it is not considered good form to borrow chewing gum, even from your best girl. :o: The world will be better able to judge of the probable success of the economic commission that is to in vestigate Germany's ability to pay reparations when it sees whether the powers appoint economists or poli ticians. :o: There is a perpetual Sabbath on the earth. The Greeks observe Mon day, the Persians Tuesday, the As syrians Wednesday, the Egyptians Thursday, the Turks Friday, the Jews Saturday and Christians Sun day sometimes. :o: Every man has a civic duty to per form and he can't hire anyone else to perform it for him. It is not transferable. It is co-operation. Where you observe thrift and prog-, ress you know the people are all I working hand in hand. -:o:- Game laws are of concern to only a few people. The rest never hit any thing they shoot at anyway. Thou sands of ammunition wastrels will presently recall what the little boy said that Sunday when the pastor asked him if he didn't know it wa3 a pin to catch fish on Sunday. I ain't sinned none yet," said the boy, as he squirted his tobacco juice at a water moccasin. :o: It is time the citizen realized that enacting laws is what is heaping up the increasing burdens of taxation. When the legislature enacts several hundred new laws it creates offices, increases public payrolls and multi plies taxes. There i3 almost no leg islation to limit expenditures or pro duce new revenues without a direct tax. but nearly all laws cause ex 1 penditures. :o: A Chicago man on trial for using the mails to defraud, made an allur ing offer to hopeful song writers that he would furnish " music for - their composition and split royalties 50 50 with the writers. None of the songs were published. We are not quite sure he ought to be punished. Perhaps a subscription should be taken to reward him for suppressing those literary effort. stances seems to mean leaving a large fortune. :o: The greatest trouble in Asia is she is too far from the United States to borrow money. :o: Not more laws but better enforce ment, urges -Senator Capper of Kan sas. Right you are, Senator! :o: Quite winterish, but not so bad. Remember we haven't had our In dian summer yet. It has to come. :o: Every proper book should end with the words: "Now. darn you, take this back to the fellow you borrowed it from." o:o November 29th is Thanksgiving: turkey for the rich, goose, duck and chicken for the poor, the devil take the pig. :o: Any ordinary man can make a fortune, the hard part is to refrain from consuming each week's install ment as you get it. :o: The best way to cure some folks of their surplus of conceit is to give them a little authority and let Na ture take its course. :o: Henry Ford has again stated that he would not be a candidate for pres ident. He is a good man where he is, and let him alone. :o: John W. Davis, a native of West Virginia, has thrown his hat into the presidential ring and wants the democratic nomination. o:o If your brains won't get you into print just sign a patent medicine testimonial and grab off some public ity for your stomach. :o: Automobile manufacturers are now putting brakes on all four wheels. Absolutely safety, however, will not be attained until someone puts a brake on the driver. :o: Senator Charleu Curtis of Kansas is quoted as favoring a cut in the income tax schedules at the coming session of congress, in response to a national demand for tax reduction. :o: Railroad crossing accidents are in creasing at the rate of 100 per cent per annum, owing to the erroneous but widespread impression that a flivver can win a deejsion over a freight train. :o: Governor Pincliot, says Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, is a support er of the present evil as they call it, and said "it it not a defense of the present evils, but the determination to abate them, followed by effective action." :o: Senator Frazier of North Dakota will oppose the confirmation by the senate of Ex-Senator Kellogg of Min nesota to be ambassador to London on the ground that the latter, hav ing been defeated for re-election to the senate, cannot be held to repre sent the political sentiment of the people of the northwest. i O ' What is the matter with the re nomination of Ex-Governor Cox of Ohio for president. He made the way when it was impossible to elect a democrat. The present indications are that a democrat can be elected this election, and why not give Mr. Cox one more chance. We think that would be nothing more than right. . ; :o; A Topeka woman recently sent a $5 bill to one of her brothers in Ger many and asked him to divide it up among the other brothers and sis ters, giving each $1. The brother paid off the others in German marks and it not only started a family row but the others are threatening to sue hJm for their share of the $5 Ameri can money.

Close students of the Bible can smile when they read this doctrine and hold up Holy Writ and say, "It's all here." And they know. The calm joy of the student of the Bible is not sur passed anywhere. The believer knows that the Lord reigneth and all is well. He has faith and on that basis proceeds with his work regardless of temporary disappointments. Regular church . attendance will make Bible study easier and it's j mighty worth while, as any Christian ! will tell you.

Paper Kindling Wood Coal Starting Pick-up Power eMileage -:o: is as ILLITERACY Ten million people in the United States who can neither read nor write! Twenty million illiterates and. near illiterates! One finds these amazing state ments in a recent survey of illiteracy conditions in the United States by i the illiteracy commission of the Na- ! tional Educational association. In j view of the fact that our nation will j soon devote an enure week to tnei OUR COUNTRY ALWAYS American form of government recognized throughout the world the most humanitarian, most stable and most effective of all forms. No real cause for unrest or discon tent exists. Industry is thriving at peak load and payrolls are being steadily maintained. Labor and cap ital in America are nearly at balance.

The scientific problem is how to get these fuels these gasoline "fraction-." to ig nite one after another in proper order and burn up clean. That is the big ques tion, especially as each fire in the cylinder must start and burn and die out ail in a small fraction of a second. Careful laboratory study of low, medium and high gasoline "fractions" and end less experiments in their variations have resulted in the Balanced Gasoline. This Balanced Gasoline in your motor is just as superior to an ordinary, unbal anced motor fuel as a well-laid fire in your grate is to a hodge-podge collection of prpei, sticks, wood and coal.

But we are exemplifying a poor type of national thrift and en lightenment when we neglect the moral and material advantages that could accrue from a more intensive and comprehensive educational pol icy.

The material, mental and moral waste represented by twenty million illiterates and near illiterates in the United States is beyond calculation. :o: WAGES AND LIVING COSTS Based on selected industries all over the country by the National Bu reau of Labor, and the cost of living calculated by the National Industrial Conference board for a working man's family of five, it is shown that since 1917 wage levels have kept generally above living costs. The downward trend of wages in 1920-21 was arrested much sooner than the decline in cost of living. During 1922-23 fluctuations in liv ing costs have been almost inconse quential, but wages have risen con stantly. As a result of the industrial re vival in the United States during the past year and a half the advance in real wages, or purchasing power in necessities of life, has substantially increased, as shown by increased sav ings bank deposits and growth of re tail trade. :o:- THE BIBLE AS A MANUAL The Bible is studied as a book of literature and of philosophy ay. well as a guide to religious life. Some day it will be closely scanned for its help in business. No other book has the psychology of human actions so compactly expressed. And no book so cogently points the path to "suc cess." The Bible writers understood all the modern "discoveries" of the In fluence of the mind in bringing suc cess. The Bible has frequent exhorta tion to "be of good cheer." We are told to think on the things which are beautiful and of good reoute. Modern writers say: "Think suc cess and it will cojne."
