THE GO(X OLD TIME?
rrcacher-like, we will take a text
for this column today. It in found In
Koc. 7:10: "Say not thou, what in the
cause that the former lay were better
than thepe? For thou loth not in
quire wisely concerning this."
The other clay we met one of those
individuate who worship the past.
They can noe no pood in the present.
All the good things are things of the
past. "The (rood old days, or "the
good old times" re expressions that
are ever dropping from their lips.
iSpcak to them of something whose
goodness is apparent to all, they ore
ever ready with, "Yes, but in the old
days they' were better." This class of
people are not a modern creation; they
are as old as history. Job cried, "O,
that I were as in the days of old."
Jacob, David and others of the Bible
characters cried out for "the good old
times."
of the good old things of the (rood old
times are the same thing of which
you complained o bitterly when you
were back there 7
It is human nature to deprecate the
present. The good things of the pres
ent, are never so nweet as the thing
of the past or the things beyond our
rach.
They give you a pain in the neck,
these devotees to the past. To hear
them talk you would think that the
run has darkened since the good old
days, when the fact is it has never
Wen brighter than today. To hear
them speak you would conclude that
everything is gradually going to the
bow-wows, but if these same folks
would only consider things really as
they are they would be surprised to
find that this old world is full of good
things after all. I have heard men,
even in the pulpit, try to leave the im
pression that the old days of the past
surpassed the present and these leave
the impression that the human race
is more corrupt than the past. Their
messages ring with the spirit of pes
simism, and then they wonder why
people ehun the services.
History, both past and present,
proves that this "good old time" is a
mere delusion. It is human to idealize
the past. Did you ever Mop to think
that these same things that now you
rraise as being the best, were the
things that in the past you derided aj
being of little value 7
Most of the good old times that you
are now boasting of, are times of
which you knew nothing, or of which
you know simply by hearsay. The
things that you counted moderately
Rood when you live in those times are
now "good" because distance lends en
chantment Did you know that many
The fact of the matter is that the
good old times are but the figment of
your imagination. Never have you
enjoyed so many good things as at
present. People were never as good af
today. You who arc worshiping at
the shrine of the past would yov
really like to go back there? Wouli'
you really? I3e careful now. The fad
is that you would not if you could.
You have more to be thankful fo
today than you have ever had. o
say that the children are more dis
obedient than they were "back there?"
Piffle! Why, then, doesnt the per
centage of the criminals in the prison
increase? You say our schools are
more immoral than in the past. We
believe this to be a rank lie. Never
have we had better trained faculties
and cleaner teachers than today. The
churches, you say, are more worldly.
We doubt this itatement.
The captains of industry in the past
were more honest and capable than
those of today; the political leaders of
the past were more public spirited;
the srood editors are all dead; the
preachers who really served from the
spirit of love and service alone, are
all in the past, or gone to glory. The
last preacher Is always the best with
these worshipers of the past And
sometimes it happens that they were
the cause of the last preacher leaving.
Let us throw this feeling of the past
overboard and really take stock of the
world of good things of today. The
world is full of good things today and
we need not go to the past to find
them. They are here all around us. f
Alliance was never better than to-

with them and, say, but that chicken
was fine. We should have been a

Our next move was north to the
home of F. Wi Krohn, who- is the
brother of the energetic young lody
who collects for the Herald office each
month. We felt somewhat at home
there and had a nice little visit with
Mr. Krohn, who came here from Lan
caster county fcix years ago and is
running 480 acres eighty acres to
wheat, seventy to oats, forty to corn,
forty to spuds and twenty to alfalfa.
Mr. Krohn thinks that com and hogs
are the best money-makers then
come spuds.
Jut over the hill, but not to the
poor house, we came to the beautiful
home of .William A.pden, who came
to this county thirty-even years ago,
')eing the oldest settler we have found
o far. .He ame here as a young
man, had no money to go on and did
jot hav a dollar, but managed to bor
warm by, but today 'William can take
hings easy, for he has aplenty of this
world's goods. He own. 4S0 acres of
row twenty-five to vve on the first
winter. For the first winter he had
no stove to cook his meals on. hav
ing to use a campfire to cook and
land in the valley that looks to us as
the ideal farm and he has a fine house
and everything one could wish. While
there we heard some fine music on the
tano. hut the mus'r that came to him
the first year was the song of the coy
ote, but such is the reward of energy.
Mr. Aspden is farming, twenty-five
acres to wheat, twenty-five to oats,
seventy-five to corn and forty to
Fpuds.-. He has seventy-five' acres in
alfalfa. He lives seven miJes north
and one-mile east of town.' -
Charles Hawley came here from
York county six years ago and is run
ning 480 acres of land one hundred
to wheat, thirty to oats, sixty to corn
and is planting thirty to spuds. He
thinks that spuds is the surest crop
to raise. He likes this county as well
as York and says that a young man
can get a start here better than in
the east, but the -great thing with him
is that his health is o much better
than in the east. .
Our next and last stop for the day
was at the J. T. Nabb farm, seven
miles north of the fair grounds; This
large farm is being operated by J. T.
and son. There are 640 acres and 440
acres of which are cultivated and the
two of them are doing the work, but
mostly by tractor. When they seed,
they pull the seeder, a disc and a har
row at the same time, so once over
and they are done. They have out 150
acres of fall rye and 120 of spring ryr
sixty of barley, thirty of oats, fifty of
com, twenty of cane and millet, also
forty of alfalfa. They have a splen
did herd of registered Poland China
hogs. Mr. Nabb came here from Sew
ard county thirteen years ago and

IF you could get together all the car
owners you know, you'd probably
find that their tire experiences had been 2.
much the same.
Most of them have taken their fling .
at "job lots," "discontinued lines" and
"surplus stocks." Soon or late, nearly
all settled back on quality first as the
one sound assurance of tire value.
As soon as a man forgets the cut
price tag, and comes to the dealer who ..
concenfrares on a full, completely
sized stock of U. S. Tireshe learns
what it means to get fresh, live tires
not once in a while but every time.

Your U. S. Tire dealer can give you
this service because of the service ho
gets from his neighboring U. S. Factory
Branch. There are 92 of these Branches.
Each gets its share of U. S. Tires, so
that the dealer is always supplied with
fresh, live stock.
U. S.Tires sell as fast as they are made.
There is no over production. No sur
plus piled up waiting for a "market."
Wherever you buy a U. S. Tire
you buy a tire of current production,
as fun of life and value as the day it
left the makers.
