THURSDAY. APRIL 8. 1919.
Welcome!
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.
Send your money
abroad only for what you cannot

and patronized.
'
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.

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.

Pick out twenty young men as
you meet them and not five out
of the twenty are not making an
effort to save money. The indications
are the poor house of the
future will have to be ten stories
high with folding beds in each
of the rooms.
Some people marry because it
is contagious. Others because
they can't work in single harness.
But the most marry because they
fall in love and can't fall out.
