REST FOR THE LAND
Six years thou shalt sow thy field,
ar.il six years thou shalt prune they
vineyard and gather in the fruit

neither sow thy field, nor prune thy
vineyard that which groweth ot its;
own accord of thy harvest thou shalt
not reap, neither gather the grapes of.
they vine undressed: for it is a year
of rest unto the land. Leviticus xxv,
3 to 5.

An investigator has figured that a

That both the republican and dem
ocratic national parties are striving
to precipitate Henry Ford into a third
party movement and thereby rid
themselves of a potential candidate
and undermine their adversaries with
independent electioneering in uncer
tain states, is asserted by leaders in
both regular camps. With Ford fin
ancing and heading a third party
campaign next year, much strength
would be drawn from both old line
parties In doubtful, states, each side
concedes, and though each believes
such a situation must aid its ticket,
both agree that an elimination of the
auto maker in their regular plans.
Only if the supporters of Bob LaFol

to line up with a new party, can
such a movement be considered any
thing but beneficial to the eld party

When the American Federation of

act in its convention at Portland, a
Boston delegate asked a question
which none tried to answer. It was
this: "Is it because a man gets drunk

way, it i3 undisputed that a drunk
man is no good.

Gone is. the starched collar, injurius

MILLIONS OF POUNDS BOUGHT
EV OUR GOVERNMENT
OUR CUSTOMERS
Europe still is our best customer
She's buying a little better than half
of our total exports. Ilcr purchases
of American raw materials, manufac
tured" goods are more than our sales
to Canada. Mexico and South Amer
ica combined.
Maybe you get weary of reading
about the European situation. Rut
any business man would be highly
concerned if his best customer, buy
ing half of his total sales, were in
financial difficulties and other trou
bles up to his ears.
Manufactured goods lately have
been making up two-mths 01 our
total experts. They've been averag
ing at the rate of 1,500 million dol
lars a year. Thii represents quite a
large part of the output of our fac
tories and mills enough to pay a
million wage earners $1,500 a year
apiece. Rather obvious, that the
foreign situation is closely connected
with the average American pocket
book. :o:
FIRE PREVENTION
In some of the western states fire
les?es the past year totalled more
than the entire amount of taxes col
lected, showing the imperative need
of more protection.
What recently happened at Berk
eley, California, when 650 homes in
one of the finest residential districts
of the city were completely destroy
ed by fire in scarcely over an hour
i a drastic-example of this need.
Adequate fire stopping in dwelling
construction is almost as rare as a
well spent life. There are many
more dwellings which contain no evi
dence of Installation of fire stopping
details than there are persons will
ing to assume responsibility for the
omission of those details.
Many architects, engineers and
contractors after they have satisfied
themselves 011 matters relating to
style, plan and cost, devote their en
ergies to insuring the structural ade
quacy of the buildings they erect.
The stability of the foundation, the
rigidity of the walls and roof and
load carrying capacity of the floors
are essential considerations. But
they are not all. At least one other
essential requirement of sound con
struction has received but scant no
tice in the building of small houses.
The average carpenter and build
er does not realize the extent of our
national fire losses or else lie consid
ers the possibility of fire as quite re
mote. Usually the home owner does
not have the experience to know
what is required. The designer, the
superintendent and the contractor,
jointly, should assume the responsi
bility of securing careful considera
tion of those inexpensive details
which greatly reduce the fire hazard.
Construction expedients which will
help reduce the excessive toll of the
f.re loss to the country should be pe
culiarly worthy of study. The lum
ber industry is anxious too, not only
of material and labor, but too often
of life, caused by fire in the United
States. It i3 co-operation with the
National Board of Fire Underwriters
and the Underwriters' Laboratories
to awaken the public to the advan
tage of guarding against fire.

MIND AND CHARACTER
"Our minds learn far more quick
!v than nnr characters chance, qo
that the social and political strue-!
ture of the world has not kept pace
with the growth" of its knowledge."
This bit of wisdom is taken from
the recent speech of Premier Stanley
Baldwin at the opening of the Brit
ish imperial conference. The thought
is not wholly new. A man Paul, long
ago, found a law in his body warring
against the law of his mind and cried
out, "The good that I would, I do
not; but the evil which I would not,
that I do."
There are probably few statesmen
today who do not believe that the de
structive results of the late war could j
have been speedily counteracted. I
through the application of modern J
methods in finance and industry.
than was possible in the case of any
great war in the world's previous
history. But for some reason or oth
er, the knowledge that had been
worked out has not been applied, and
a large part of the world still lies in
confusion and stagnation, five years
after the war itsel came to an end.
Premier Baldwin is right about the
great nations of the world today, as
Paul was right about his own prob
lem of conduct nineteen centuries
ago. e have not paid any too much
attention to the improvement of the
mind, but we have neglected to keep
our ethical progress up with the in
tellectual. The tendency to drop the
moral element out of education shows
its natural effect in sterilizing out
intellectual achievements.

FOOTBALL NOTES
Now that the world's series is over
footballers come to pas.
Football players are among the
few who are cheered for kicking.
Zuppke of Illinois is a football
coach even if it does sound like a
foreigner asking for soup.
While Zuppke writes .foot ball plays
he is not a playwright. He writes
so they won't play wrong.
The best football players come
rom the broad open spaces where
men are men and women are girls.
While the football season ends on
Thanksgiving this is not the orig
inal excuse for Thankstrivine.
Learning football is no easy mat
ter. Arguing with traffic cops and
icemen is fine training.
An excellent way to learn foot
ball is by kicking every lap dog you
seen and then running.
Football players must be tough.
They must be tough as cafe 6teaks.
Eating cafe steaks will help them.
Never feed a football player on
raw meat. It is dangerous. He may
bite off his girl's nose.
Looking for needles in haystacks
will train a football player's eyes to
see the point.
Football is better than golf. Every
one knows where the ball is.
Bst way to train a roolballer is
make him fall in love. Then he will
fight like a bedbug.
What's a little rouge between a
girl and a football hero? Nothing,
if it is on her lips.
Footballers must know open field
running. Dodging autos helps in
this. Never stiff arm a limousine.
Everybody should know football.
A good football player can trip a col
lector and step in his face.
Football enables one to kick a
burglar in the eye and take his watch
and pocketbook.
Women should learn football. It
would help in bargain counter
rushes and opening tight windows.
Never play with your mouth open.
When you brush your teeth you may
find an extra ear. '
Teach the family football. No
neighbor would dare talk about a
family of football players.
Buy the baby a football. Tell him
football players don't cry. Saves
you lots of singing.
This whole town needs football. If
everybody could lick everybody, they
wouldn't have to do It.
If everybody in the United States
learned to play football we could
chase the book agents ragged. '

Any modern motor shows plenty of
power when it is new. But after
several thousand miles of service, it
may develop vibrations and hesitate

poor lubrication.
