There is a story told of a ne gro who caught a catfish. The fishing was poor and the fish when caught seemed to be quite a fish, but when night came and the fish was brought out before his hungry family it seemed to be so small until the negro de clared that his catfish “had swunk til it was all mouth.” We might say the same thing about the dollar. It will pur chase only half now of what it would in 1912. 'It would pur chase only half then of what it would have done fifteen years prior to that date. These high prices for what we sell make for us Only a “fool’s paradise,” for we must pay equally as high prices for what we buy. The seller is trying to keep up high prices, and when he becomes a buyer he tries to pull prices down. He is trying to lift him self by his bootstraps. The lowering of prices will take care of themselves. In the meantime the sate thing to do is to live on what you raise, and be thrifty in saving yourself useless ex penditures. who wish to secure this $60 must write to “The Zone Officer, Le mon Building, Washington, D. C., inclosing their discharge cer tificates, date of discharge, length of service since April 6, 1917, and the names of the or ganizations in" which this ser vice was performed.” The checks will be paid in the order in which the information is re ceived. "These discharged sol diers will find more or less dif ficulty in making the adjustment from military to civil life, and this bonus will help them to do THE LOAFER. The loafer if not only the butt of local humor^ but is also a man of many aliases. During the THE SOLDIER’S VIEWPOINT. While our own boys have been passing through the varied ex periences which have made up this great war we home folks have been sitting still. They have seen the World move, while we do not know’ except from the papers that the world has moved at all. We might as well face the fact that our boys will come back to us changed. They have been completely uprooted from the life they lived. They .have passed through experiences "of , which we know nothing. Sol diers they are, while civilians we have remained. The family, church, or community that ex pects these soldiers to drop back at once into their own grooves in life will be sadly mistaken. The returned soldier who ex pects others to see everything * from his army standpoint will be equally mistaken. f Compromise and mutual ad justments are the only roads to progress. Both the soldier and \ ’ , civilian should see that it ‘is only by discarding the nonessen tials and by bringing together the best of each that we can get the full benefits of the war. The soldier will find in • civil stan dards jusFthose softening influ ences to bnhance the value of his military experience and train ing. The civilian will find in the honesty and selflessness of the soldier just the tonic that-Js needed by our flabby moral stan dard L war he was known as “the slack er,” or man who wouldn’t pull his part on the rope to win the victory. He was willing for the other fellow to do his part of the w’ork. In his excoaqp to get away from the birthright of true manhood he is sometimes called the “artful dodger.’!. Again be is willing to support his idleness by the labor of wife, children, or parents, and uguin he is a drone who lives upon the rich stores of honey laid up by his ancestors. Down at heart when all the clothing has been stripped away he is merely a loafer. Some times it is a case of the feminine persuasion, whose sole aim in life is to commit matrimony upon some unsophisticated man whose fortune is large enough to enafble-her tacontinue loafing.. We sympathize very keenly with the men who have recently been discharged from the army. They must adjust themselves to their new surroundings. They have won and richly deserve their weW earned rest. If, how ever, they have been the genuine soldiers they are believed to have been they will not rest so long a time as to lay themselves liable to the charge of loafing. The needs for labor are too nu- merous amf-pressing to admit of too much rest. The man who will do any work that he finds at hand will rise to that work which best suits his taste and ability. Some of the officers in the Con federate army became section hands before they rose to become the chief engineers of American railways. Among the returned soldiers from the 371st or negro regiment are some 'who are tak ing life'*Wif they were million aires, while another. who* w’ore wound stripes was hauling gu ano for his father’s farm. One was arrayed in a Sam Browne belt and a shrapnel helmet, and was having the time of his life with a host of, admirers „ from the dusky maidens. Another was “busily engaged in a lumber yard. When the latter was drafted he worked until night before he repotted in Barnw’ell the next morning. As soon as he w’as discharged he pame back to his old job again.- It will re quire only a few months to show 1 the difference between, the two. classes of 'soldiers. What is true of the$e return ed soldiers is true in every' walk in life. Paul, the apostle, lays down the fundamental law of life when he aaid, “If a man will FORAGE CROPS AND PASTURE . GRASSES.

A dispatch from Detroit states that that city, which lias been legally dry for some time, w«s recently subjected to a perfect deluge of whiskey as a result of a decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Michigan de-« daring that the “search and .seizure” sections of tbe State bone dry law are invalid. Within a few hours after the court’s decision was announced, a tre mendous amount of liquor was carried by private individuals, in bundles, suitcases, etc., and by street cars, automobiles, and other vehicles, from Toledo and other Ohio points to Detroit. It is said that the Dixie Highway, the main tborougtfare lietween Toledo and Detroit, was literally jammed with automobiles laden with liquor and that, during this wild rush for whiskey a number of men were killed aqd more than sixty automobiles smashed. smoke ftu t»t» Rf) no..
