TEST OF PATRIOTISM
National defense requires a bal-1
anced federal budget. This is as evi-1
dent at the present time as the need
for an adequate army and navy. Our
unbalanced budget coupled with an
unparalleled national debt of nearly
45 billions of dollars is an open in
vitation to trouble. It is up to the
people—and the politicians they elect
—to economize by trimming non-
essential government services
Again it must be emphasized that
economy in government starts at
home. Local business men, civic or-

Now that Europe is again at wijr,
the question in the minds of every
American is, Can America stay out?
Or must she join the slaughter and
destruction as she did in 1917? Some
feel that this country should enter
wholeheartedly in a united effort to
maintain freedom the world over,
even if such a course leads to war.
They believe that saving the world
for democracy on foreign shores will
forestall possible attack in the- west
ern hemisphere.
But actually we have reached the

The most significant thing about the
agricultural marketing cooperative
movement is that today it is taken
for granted by thinking farmers,
Not so long ago marketing coopera

stage. It had yet to prove itself. Now
there is no question of experiment
and millions of farm families regard
cooperation as a matter of course.
This is a logical development. For
marketing cooperation has proved,
beyond argument, that it is not only
successful but esstntial. A single
producer, dealing with a middleman,
for instance, is inevitably at a dis
advantage—he takes what is offered

“We had a fine fair and everything
was up to expectations,” Jim John
son, president of the Newberry coun
ty fair association told a newsgather-
er this week,, “and It was a success,
financially and otherwise.” We didn’t
inquire as to what “otherwise” refer
red to.
“I expect it’s the best fair we’ve
ever had here,” the butter manufac
turer stated. “Of course there could
have been more people, but that’s al
ways the case. It was a little cold,
especially at night. Next year we
hope to have the fair earlier in the
season.”'

expect of us. Not one of us goes to
church except Ted. He’s the reli
gious one of the flock.”
“Ted? said Marjorie lifting as
tonished eyes.
“Yes, Ted. He’s as faithful as the
clock. He walks away back to Brent
wood every Sunday. He’s got a
crush on a young preacher back
there, and we can’t keep him away.
He’ll probably want to walk you
way out there with him if you sug

“Why I’d love to go,” said Marjorie.
Why don’t we both go ? It’s a gor-

preach around any preacher I ever

“Well, I hope I shall be able tp
keep from going crazy over him,”
Marjorie smiled.
Ted turned red.
“Oh, you’re not like that. You’re
sensible! But he’s a prince, you
know. I’m not blaming ’em for going
crazy over him. If I was a girl I
might do it myself.”
“Did Betty used to- go to church
with you when you lived in Brent
wood,” asked Marjorie.
Ted’s face darkened.
“No!” he said shortly. “She would
not go. She said she had no time for
church. She was all taken up with a
poor fish in the office where she
worked. He useta come out in a
second-hand roadster and take her

“You make life a kind of play,”
said Betty as she wonderingly obey
ed. “It doesn’t seem right to be doll
ed up like this to make a bed.”
Presently they heard the doctor
coming upon the porch and Betty in
the slim blue dress went to the door,
her hair a little golden flame of
light about her shapely head. Mar
jorie, standing back in the tiny par
lor almost out of view had time to
notice the quick look of interest in
the doctor’s face as he took account
of the exceedingly pretty girl who
was meeting him, and the little flush
of rose that crept up into Betty’s
cheeks as she met his gaze.
Then the doctor turned and looked
keenly at Marjorie.
“Oh, you’re the new sister, aren’t
you?” he said pleasantly. “Aren’t
you ’twins? You look so very much
alike. I doubt if I could have told
you apart if I hadn’t met Miss Betty
several times.
Marjorie looking up caught a
j bright flame of color on Betty’s face
and thought how pretty she looked
in the new dress. She wondemf in
passing if this nice pleasant doctor
was interested in her sister?'
Betty lingered a moment at the
door talking with the doctor, asking
him particularly about her mother’s
diet and medicine, and the young
doctor looked at her approvingly and
smiled as he finally went out.
Ever since she had arrived Mar
jorie had been planning what she
would do, but there hadn’t as yet
been time to carry out her plans.
“Monday you and I ought to go
out and do some Christmas shop
ping,” said Marjorie to Betty as
they were putting everything in
slhining order Saturday evening af
ter supper.
“Christmas shopping my eye! A
lot of Christmas shopping I could
Ido. I haven’t got ten cents of my
own,” said Betty ruefully.
“Oh, yes, you have,” laughed Mar
jorie. “Look in your purse. I put
some in there this afternoon while
you were down at the store and it’s
for Christmas shopping and nothing
else.”
“Do you think I would go Christ-
Ted; looked at Marjorie wifji a
sudden sparkle in his eyes.
“Sure, I’ll take her,” he said dif
fidently. “But you haveta walk.
There’s no carline except a long
roundabout way.”
“I’ll love to walk!” said Marjorie.
So Marjorie and her brother start
ed off to church.
“I guess you’ll be ashamed of me,
but they don’t mind clothes where
we’re going.”
“No,” said Marjorie thoughtfully,
“I’m not ashamed of you. I’m proud
of you. Things like that are only com
parative, anyway, aren’t they? They
shouldn’t have any part in going to
church.”
Ted eyed her speculatively, and fin
ally ventured another question:
“I guess you’re saved, aren’t you?”
“Saved?” said Marjorie altogether
startled. The phrase was not common
among the young peoople she knew.
“You have to be bom again, you
know.”
She gave him another keen look and
as if he were answering the question
“No, she wouldn’t be introduced
one day when I brought him home.-
She said she didn’t care to know
preachers, they would bore her, and
it might be embarraring to have him
hanging around. Oh, she makes me
sick, sometimes.”
“I guess she’s had rather a hard'
time,” suggested Marjorie gently.
“Sure she has! We’ve all had a
hard time. And she’s been a good
scout, worked like everything to take
care of Mother and Father, and all
that, but still—..ometimes she makes
me sick.”
• He suddenly broke off and his voice
grew jubilent. “There’s Brentwood
now! See it up there on the hill?
And that’s our house, that long low
stone house with the white pillars to
the porch? Isn't that some swell loca
tion? And there! Upon my word if
there doesn’t come Gideon Reaver
now!”
Then Marjorie looked up to see a
tall finely built young man coming
toward her with astonishment won
derful eyes that seemed to have seen
