The Times extends a most hearty welcome to each and every one of our soldier boys who have just returned to their homes. And may love, peace, happiness and prosperity be the ; reward for the noble part each 1 - has played in crushing Prussian- 1 ism from the earth. . 1 From every view point the farming class of the country is j in better shape now than at any , period since the civil war. More , people own their own homes and , little farms, more are free from j the yoke of bondage inflicted by < burdensome debts; more are be- 1 coming independent each year 1 by making a comfortable living 1 for their families, more are waking up to the necessity of ' giving their children better edu- j cational advantages, and withal ^ prosperity and contentment seem , to prevail throughout the coun- ( try. Let progress still be our ( watchword. I ===== t Talk about the advantages of j your town instead of trying to figure up the disadvantages. SDeak of the bright side of your business in place of the imaginary dull side. There is nothing goes without being propelled. You injure yourself, your business, and your town by getting into the dumps. When your liver is out of order go to the woods or some other hiding place until you are better. The' world looks blue to a man with a bad digestion. Cure yourself first and then everything else will appear all right. A wife will insist that the husband shall not go out of the house cold, raw days without two undershirts, a liver pad and a muffler on, in addition to his regular clothes. Yet. as soon as he is safely down town she will rush out of the hot kitchen bare-headed and bare-armed to hang out clothes, so as to get ahead of the woman next d?or; or, she will tramp off down town and from house to house to work up some society or church enterprise with nothing on her head but a little saucepan of a hat, and shoes not any thicker than a newspaper. Isn't this so? When you want any article of merchandise, buy it of a reputable home dealer, that the profit may remain to enrich the community.

' Farms for Oar Heroes. Because of the failure of the last Congress to pass the bill granting free farm land to returned wounded soldiers, it is not a sign that the matter is to be dropped. Secretary Lane of the Department of the Interior is hard at work getting his forces in order to renew the bill when the extra session of Congress is called upon the president's return from abroad. The land is available and farmer soldiers are clamoring for it, eager also to obtain the special training in farming that one feature of the bill provides. Had the bill been passed by the last Congress there would be many farmers now on their way to occupy and work the land granted to them and thus aid in a small way to increase the food supply. ? UL??

The fMfnttM of Gevenert, The conference of governors, representing twenty-seven States recently held in Washington for the purpose of deviling wajMnd means fopjriMdjagting the trasiness of the country to a normal basin should be productive of much good. The best or spirit prevailed and many and many suggestions of practical value were given to officials of the Federal Government, but the truth was brought forth that the n. a J ^ % <i ?. A ... Slates ana cities airectiy interested are doing all they can in the matter and in the right direction and that it is upon the government that the responsibility rests to cooperate with what the States and cities are doing. At first the idea seemed to be that Federal officials would be telling the States and cities what should be done, but the opinion now prevails in Washington that the visitors "turned the tables" on the Federal officials. York Will Pave Streets. After a preliminary survey and mature consideration of the subject, the town council of York has reached a definite agreement concerning plans for paving the streets. According to these plans, approximately $100,000 will be expended in paving Congress and Liberty streets?the two principal business thoroughfares?and several residence 3treets, the total distance to be surfaced being between four and Ave miles. Concreted asphalt will be used on Congress street, while a less expensive material wil} probably be used on the streets having a lighter traffic. The money for the project will oe raised by a bond issue, which will first have to be approved :>y the freeholders of the town. Half the expense of the paving will full on abutting property >wners. Little opposition has leveloped toward the paving project, which appears to have ;he hearty support of practically ill the property owners. . '! 1 ?J 1 . ? J !
