What One Town Did.
Towns that make no attempt
to wake up and show some form
of civic pride should look at the
example being set by Mowrystown,
Ohio, a little village which
can not boast more than 300
* souls. Five years ago this little
Buckeye State village was such
a run-down place that even the
local undertaker thought there
woo nn fnrtVipr 113P in StavinC.
?? UO tlv A U4 V KV4 v w
Streets and sidewalks of the
village were unimproved, the
alleys were filled with trash, the
vacant lots had fine crops of
weeds, and no o*e in the village
seemed to care a rap whether
school kept or not.
One day a live idea struck one
of the business men of the village,
who otherwise had been
about as much of a dead one as
the other business men, but the
idea was live, and so stuck
around for a while. It was:
"Why can't something be done
with this town of ours?" The
idea made itself so felt that the
business man told his neighbor
about it, and the two called in a
third to talk it over. The result
was that the idea got to
buzzing in the heads of several
of the business men at once, and
it developed into a real live
movement.
The movement of cleaning up
the town got a good start, and
the good start kept on until today
Mowrystown is not to be
scoffed at. The village has four
miles of cement sidewalks, the
streets-are improved, the vacant
lots mowed, the business men
are alert to anything of a civic
nature that will help their vil-j
lage and fur'her improvement i
conditions. The o ly thing poor
about th.j village of Mowrystown
now is the crop of weeds,
for the weeds are not doing weli.
It is singular that the United
States has been so long in awakening
to the tremendous importance
of farming as an industry,
and to our inadequate
provisions for financing the farmer.
Agricultural credit societies
are now a leading topic of discussion,
and occupy page after
page of the newspapers and magazines.
The organizations abroad
are being studied with a view to
adapting them to American conditions.
And the fact has been
brought forcibly home that each
of the acricultural societies of
other countries is buttressed by
a scientific banking system. Not
one could do extensive good without
such support, and before we
can finance the farmer as he deserves,
our unscientific banking
system must be reformed.
Pencils are being made from
potatoes and men's collars from
milk. If some friend of humanity
would only discover a method
whereby the squeal of the croaker
could be transformed into an
article of diet and the wasted energy
of the knocker harnessed
and used for motive power, we
would feel that the millenium
was close at hand.
Referred to the Lancaster
News: "Our old friends?The
New York Sun's big lie on Santa
Claus, Tiny Tim's Prayer and
1 'Twas the Night Before Christmas'?are
with us again in full
force." ? Charlotte Observer.
The Times extends to each of
its readers the very be>c wishes
of the season.

Christmas Caroling*.
It is a poor present that is
given because it is cheap.
Spend your Christmas and
your Christmas money at home.
Better give a gift you know
is good than one you think is
cheap.
The best Christmas present
anybody could give this town?
a boost.
Better give^a few presents
that are good than many that
are not.
Let the present Christmas and
the Christmas present both make
Vir?mo tiannior
"w,uv ""CC""
The best present you could
give your wife would be the
first $10 toward a home. '
The mistletoe makes a man
realize that the best things in
life are to be had right here at
home.
If there ever was a home holi,
day it is Christmas and it should
be celebrated at home. j
. * ' , f
Mornings are Shorter.
Since Thanksgiving day the j
time of sunset has not varied ^
two minutes and yet the days t
now are about twenty mimites )j
shorter than was Thanksgiving
day. In explanation of this the i
weather man would say that the
day has been shaven off at the
breakfast end rather than at the *
supper hour; and if asked further
why the sun will rise ten
minutes later on January 2, ap-,
parentiy shortening the day by
that amount of time, the weather
man would explain that the
- j i I
lengthening process naa ueguu
at the other end of the day, so
that while the mornings grow
shorter, the afternoons are growing
longer.
The time of sunset at this
season is an almost invariable
quantity from Thanksgiving until
December 15, after vthich
the afternoons begin to lengthen
HOW CHRONIC COUGHS .
Are Being Cured by Vinol. j
Did you ever cough for a month?
Then just think how distressing it
must be to have a cough hang on for
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose, of 87 Newell
Ctrect, Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I had
a very heavy cold which settled Into
j a chronic cough, which kept mo
! awake nights for fully three months,
! and felt tired all the time because my
[ rest was broken so much. The efTect
- ? > i n n ^ 1 rnn rem
i 01 Uliung yuur tuu u??i
c.Iy Vinol, is that my cough Is gone. !
I cm now get a good night's reBt, and
1 :col much stronger in every way." j
It is the combined action of the
medicinal elements, cods' livers, aided
by the blood-making nnd strength- .
creating properties of +0010 iron which :
makes Vinol so efficient In curing
' chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
j ?at the same time building up the
weakened, run-down system.
Try a bottle of Vinol, with the understanding
that your money wi
