PRODUCTION WASTES
The American Federation of Labor
has passed a resolution favoring stuiy
of the wastes of industrial production,
which are due parUy to management,
partly to labor, and partly to various
causes.
The industrial world is full of waste,
but most of these losses are deeply
ingrained in popular habits and busi
ness and working methods. By a de
termined effort and popular educa
tion, these wastes could he greatly
reduced. The gain to American homes
thereby would be marvelous.
Such wastes can only be reduced
through a willingness on the part of
both capital and labor to remedy the
faults in their own methods. So long
as any element of people pass the
buck to someone else for such losses,
we shall not stop much waste.
- SERVANTS OF THE PUBLIC
The amount of work done by the
women of Clinton, in getting up sup
pers for numerous organizations of
the city is something enormous. Some
of these women often get up several
of these suppers in. a week, and they
have acquired a state-wide reputation
for efficiency in cooking and the serv
ing of delightful meals.
These women doubtless have a right
to say that they are,all tired out y^fth
these efforts. And yet they still keep
at them. Clinton men must eat, that’s
all there is to it. Yet the comrade
ship of their friends in these efforts
compensates them for many of these
labors. They can take credit for per
forming a great public service, as they
provide the mear^ by which the peo
ple are interested to come out and
join public movements for the good
of the community. They often show
an efficiency that would qualify them
to manage some important business.
HELPFUL ASSOCIATIONS
About now many ^householders and
housewives, looking ahead to the long
winter evenings, conclude that it is
going to get a little dull sitting around

think they would better Join up with

little variety.
The present day desertion of the
home circle is looked at with alarm
by many philosophers. In many fam

people spend so little time that they
could hardly tell gnyoi^e'how it looks.
But in our fear of such wandering

FILLING THE PEWS
The Rev. Oliver Kene has been pas
tor of the Methodist church at Kear
ney, Neb., for four years and in that
time he has quadrupled the member
ship. How did he do it?
“By advertising,” he says. “That
makes a business grow, so why should
it not work with a church? I often
insert a quarter page or half page ad
in the home-town papers. Publicity
changes the auto from an enemy to a
friend of the church. When the peo
ple of the whole community know of
your church and the kind of sermons
you preach the car will carry them to
your church instead of away from'it.
The expense of advertising is met
' through the collection box, and the
more people the advertising draws to
the church, of course the larger the
collections. So ads pay for them-
aelves in actual money. The good that
is accomplished cannot be measured
In dollars and cents.
“Christ said, ‘Go-out and compel
them to come in.* What is mote com
pelling than advertising in the mod
ern way? Nothing can take the place
of the gospel. Not movies, nor music,
nor half-baked addresses on current
tcpica. Advertising must be backed
by a good sound, honest gospel mes
sage from the pulpit. And the man
who goes ones .is pretty apt to re
turn and bring some one with him.**

AT WESTERN UNION
The death of Rev. J. B. Parrott on
the early morning of the 18th of
March, besides being a great shock
to this community, was a very great
and regrettable loss. Mr. Parrott has
been for many years identified with
Clinton, first as the principal of a
very .popular academy, and afterwards
as pastor of the First Baptist church.
His life, thro all these years, was a
lesson of faith, integrity, honor and
diligence known to the whole commun
ity. As he grew older and riper in
experience, he grew even more faith
ful and self-sacrificing in his devotion
to duty, winning his way into the
hearts of all the people in the com
munity without respect to denomina
tion and without even a hint toward
proselytism. He was a special favor- 1
ite with the people of the Presbyter
ian church among whom he was ad
mired, if that could be, as much as in
his own. I His attention in times of
sickness, his readiness to sympathize,
his faithfulness in council and his for
wardness in every good work made
him peculiarly useful. The town sure
ly misses him and will continue to
miss him as long as good deeds are
lemembered among us. His people
have the deepest sympathy of all de
nominations. We realize that we have
lest as well as they, and that in the
burden of sorrow that has come upon
them, we of the other denominations
and specially of the Presbyterian
church are also heavy sharers.
