FEB. 18. 1915. 1 i If \ food-stuffs and other things sent to 1 Europe conservatively at ten cents a ( pound, we have the neat little sum of $11,000,000 which is gone from | our country forever, and our suffer- ] ing poor starve on with wheat at j two dollars a bushel and the bread- I lines and soup kitchens over-crowded all the time. The people of the United States are in no wise responsible for conditions wrought by the European ] war. Can all of them say the same ' as to the poverty and destitution 1 existing in our own country? Never 1 was there a wiser or truer saying when applied to alms-giving or t practical philantl>copy than: 4 'Charity begins at home.'' t All modern roads in this section lead to subscription. Are you trav eling or standing still? J '4It is more blessed to give than j to receive," we have on the authori- * ty of the Holy Scriptures. Now, "s v will you bring or send us that little, v dollar? p The wheat crop this year is the j - biggest en record for twenty years J ] and yet the price is the highest for a twenty years. How are we to, -1 Liharity Begins ai nome. It is estimated that over a hun- | dred and ten million pounds of food and other necessaries and luxuries ' ( have been sent from the United States, transportation paid, to the "poor, starving families" in Eu- r rope. < Of course this liberality on the part of a neutral nation over three ] thousand miles distant from the < scene of hostilities is exceedingly laudable and highly commendable, but how about our own poor and starving and suffering wnom we see < daily and who, we understand, far out-nuniber the unfortunate Euro- < peans who are the beneficiaries of { our liberality? j It is a queer characteristic of hu- , man nature that objects at a dis- , tance are apt to loom large before our eyes, while we pass equally 1 large ones near at hand without 1 even noticing them. In other words, . we. turn the large end of the telescope toward things at a distance ' and view through the small end 1 things nearby, which no doubt led the poet to observe: 'Tis distance 1 lends enchantment to the view." ^ Estimating the net value of the econcile these paradoxical conlition9? Those who are congratulating the farmer on "coming into lis own" are speaking without due bought-, it seems to us. As we understand the situation the big grain (peculators and elevator owners 'cornered the market" long before he price of wheat went to a phelomenal figure, and it is by their nanipulation that it came about, [t is stated on good authority that nost of the wheat growers?the 'armors?received about one dollar i bushel for their wheat, while the shrewd gamblers who grabbed all hey could get at that price, have xiosted it to two and two dollars md a half a bushel and are still lolding for more. It is possible? ind we most devoutly hope it may jome to pass?that the present holders of the bag may regret their ;reed, not to say hoggishness,before it all ends. Snttons Sittings. Suttons. February 15: ? These jpring-like days have most of us feeling more cheerful. Some of the farmers here are making preparations for another :rop. I think it will be advisable for them to put in more grain crops and tobacco and leave off some of the 7 cent cotton. There are some preparing to try their luck with toaacco and wheat.
