THURSDAY, OCT. 23, 1919 Good judgment means much in dollars and cents on the farm; just as I much there as it docs anywhere. o ? The farmer who raised plenty of supplies on the farm went through the war period without trouble. The most valuable thing any farmer can have in the way of an improve ment, is a good road right by hjs door. o The "hog and hominy" plan is about as good as any for getting rich quick. Farmers will not be fool enough to lay this old plan aside for a- while yet. ? Better attention to the farming plans and closer application to carrying them out for 1920, will result in a greater success to the planters of this section. o Good drainage in this community has banished the mosquito from the homes of the people and chills and fever only remains, we believe, as a result of germs taken in during the years that the drainage was bad. Keep up this good work and the gain will be enormous in good health and wealth of this section. o WAY OF HUMAN NATURE. It is the way of human nature "to act a* if the present condition, whatever it may happen to be, will continue and last throughout life. It is only the better judgment and discretion that causes men and women to look to the future and make preparations for a possible change in affairs brought about not only by factors which are known to act, but by possible unknown forces. It is the usual way for the people of a country to go ahead to-day and act as if the conditions of to-day might last forever. This brings up a matter for serious thought in connection with tha world war and the conditions brought about by that. At the present time the prices of everything that ifc for sale stands at an inflated level. "Wage earners in almost every line 01" work are getting higher wages than they ever got before. Just as in other things the people act as if this conditions of affairs, including the high cost of living, will go on indefinitely forever while sober second though! shows beyond a doubt that i'ningi must change from what they are now and that prices of everything in th< world will tumble down sooner 01 later, and a time will come when worl will be scarce and jobs as hard t< find as ever they were; a time whev the old time value of the almightj dollar will come back again, and Iher wages will be as low or lower thai* they were before the war. It standi to reason that a wise policy on tlx part of the people of this countrj would dictate that they make prepa. rations for this change which i> bound to come. Instead of buying thr high priced things which will take ail ?&i. l&M-'Li i jS >' of the money they can save, let them be wise and save all of the money they can. Every dollar saved now will be worth twice as much as it is now when things reach their normal state once more. 4> THE HIGH COST OF LOAFING. It is the high cost of loafing rather than the high cost of living that troubles America toady, this is the opinion expressed in a recent issue of the "Com Exchange," the monthly magazine of the Com Exchange National Board of Philadelphia. The paper says that the country is producing loss per hour, per man, than before the war although the rate of consumption is greater. This being true, prices continue to advance and further advances may be expected until an economic balance is effected between production and consumption. The solution of the problem as indirntfvl hv President Wilson. Govern oi Harding, of the Federal Reserve Board, and others, is to increase production and reduce expenditures. Investigation by a large manufacturing plant of Philadelphia, says "Com Exchange," recently showed that under identical circumstances the production per man per hour was one half more before the war although wages have been doubled. Another investigation which covered states and which was reported in the same paper showed that while the average wage per man increased 240 per cent the production per man, per hour, had decreased 62 per cent. "The man who loafs on the job," says the paper above named, "no matter what division of society h ' belongs to deliberately elects to surrender his claim to be an honest man, for he is pretending to do something that he knows he is not doing. This lowering of the moral standard of the people of the nation * * * menaces the stability of the state." The paper concludes; "Let us be honest with ourselves by recognizing the high duty of working at maximum speed at whatever task circumstances bring to us. The loafer is father of the liar, and the liar is father of the traitor to all that we hold dear in America. It is the worker who has always won, the shirker who has always lost. Let us stop talking about the high cost of living. Let us put a stop to the high cost of loafing."? Contributed. WILL THE INFLUENZA RETURN? Public Health Authorities Predict its Recurrence Guard Against it by Building Up the Blood Pepto-Mangan Creates Rich Red Blood and Increases Strength. Surgeon General Blue, of the United States Public Health Service, in a recent statement from Washington, warns the public that the much-dread ed influenza epidemic will probably return this fall and winter. All medical authorities agree that the weak, bloodless, rundown individual is more likely to contract this (as well as any | other infectious disease) than is the j strong, robust, red-blooded man or woman. In view of these facts, it is wise to use every effort to build up i the blood and thus increase the bodily j resistance to the invasion of the I germs of the disease. Glide's Pepto| Mangan is an absolutely dependable j red-blood builder in all conditions of 'lowered vita'ity not due to serious |disease of the vital organs. It improves the appetite, imparls color to I the cheeks, and creates new liopc and i I ambition in those who have become I pale, weak, and listless. Physicians ?recommend Gude's Pepto-Mangan. I When you order, be sure the word ij "Gude's" is on the package. Without "Gude's," it is not Pepto-Mangan. 1 Furnished in both liquid and tablet form.

The paper money, which is in far greater volume than even before, is of innumerable varieties. The govBe ernment, through the Reichsbank, issues notes in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 1,000 marks. The cities and towns too, have recently taken to issuing notes in some of these denominations, and, in addition, are putting into circulation great quantities of small notes of 10 to 50 pfennig denomination.

American Traveler Annoyed. One American, who has just got back from Germany, tells a story of having changed a good part of his money at Coblenz, into the paper tny? notes issued at that place. When he itly got to Cologne his money was no , ?s good. Only by accepting a- hoavy iion discount could he change it, through and a currency dealer, into money which arc war current at Cologne. Then, as his nto travels progressed, he discovered that - be the Cologne money had no value outues side of that city, and at Berlin he had t of to change it again, also at a discount, In Berlin there is a tremendous noy amount of counterfeit money in cir ned culation. The same American who ex ipor pericnced the unhappy fate of having 'ere to change his "city money" several .red times was stuck with some of the mlv counterfeit bills at Berlin, where, he >f ;; says, the counterfeiters are working ; n more openly than in any place he has it a ever visited. iva-r ' 'While I was in Berlin a couple of , p-. months ago," he ssid, "the Gennan ======== Pastime Program for week 27 MON Marguerite "AMAZ TUES Norma Ta "GOING SI THUR Theda "THE SEI FRII William S.

The government simply could not keep up with makers of the spurious hills, and so resorted to the heroic method of calling in the real bills and canceling them. They issued a proclamation declaring all 50 mark notes of that date obsolete, after a certain day ami demanded that all who had the real bills change them at once. The Bolshcviki playetkan important role in the circulation (?f counterfeit money in Germany. They first came over and did a big business by exchanging Russian ruble currency at ridiculous figures for German marks. When the German government stopped this it is alleged the Bolsheviki agents went back to Russia and calmly proceeded t o print mark notes, du-! J plicating those issued by the Reichs| bank. These, it is claimed, were j smuggled into Germany by the carload. Germans Buying Jewelry.

It is forbidden to send money out of Germany except with the special permission of the government agents at the Reichsbank. This is extremely hard to secure and only in special cases. But rich Germans, who fear the imposition of heavy taxes on capital, as advocated by one of the new German ministers, are smuggling their funds into adjacent neutral countries. The smugglers are demanding, and are setting, very high rewards for their services. An American commercial agent who has just returned from Germany, by way of Holland, says he heard of a case where a smuggler had carried out of Germany 1,000,000 marks in paper notes and, under the terms of his contract, was only required to delivor RfiO.OOO mnrks ?t n bnnlr in i I iT..... , r i i , A A \J 1 1 *4 B I \ t ?

I Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty to remove from our midst, by death, our loving mother, Mrs. Julia Hucks, wife of T. M. Hucks. She was 54 years of age. She was born in Conway township in 1865, and passed away September 26th, 1919. She was a faithful member of _i -t uuvaruLt; CIllU'CIl IOl* SCVeral years and lived a loyal Christian life. She leaves a husband and ten childien, 4 boys and six girls, two of the girls proceeding her to the grave y< aiv. ago. She also Jijaves one sister and two brothers, M.rs\M aggie Bellamy, Mr. Allen Clardy sind Mr. Alex Clardy, all of Sosastce. She was sick only a few hours, when the end came. She had been in failing health for several years, but her death was unexpected. There is a vacant place in our homo that never can be filled, and a lonliness and longing in our hearts that will never be satisfied on earth, yet we may hope to join her in that home above where sorrow and death do not enter in,, and where there arc no sad partings.
