FOR MEDITATION
If they hearken and serve him
they shail spend their days in pros-
perity arid their years in pleasures
—Job 36:11
To date there has never been a
failure reported in the carrot oiop
It is said that war preparations
are costing Europe $6000000 a day
If the nations cf the world had sense
enmie'i to forget thj war until they
get the last are paid for they might
get cut of the fool notion of trying
to settle differences by going to war
and shooting tach other up
Prosperity mote: The robbery of
the bank at Hiattville Kansas yield-
ed the robbers but $250
Is it our imagination or an actual
fact that thn-ire isn’t a fruit grown
anywhere tropical or otherwise that
is as good as the apple?
Everything in the world today
stresses tbi- mental side of the race
New machines havie taken away
much of the physical in labor but all
modei! n machines require intelligent
direction to operate them some of
them are highly complex The race
is developing more and more its
mind side
We do not know whether or not
changing the size of the currency
had anything to do with it but the
smaller sized currency in use this
year seems much more difficult to
get hold of
Now is the time to get that odd
job done Employment will be ap-
preciated now To the man who has
not had a job for a month $5 or $25
worth of work will look like a pie ce
of good luck The total of the Em-
ployment thus given in the commun-
ity will amount to a substantial sum
Tbe story is told about Geo M
Cohen the eminent New York thea-
trical man who wired to an Adiron-
! dack hotel for reservations A col-
lect riply came back as follows:
'We do rot take care of Jew3” To
which Mr Cohen replied "We have
tothi made a mistake You thought
I was a Jew and I thought you wvre
1 a gentleman”
We will always be ineligible to sit
on the jury in the case of a man
tried for the murder of an individ-
THE NEW FORD
Everything
you want or need
in a motor car
THE more you see of the new Ford the more you
realize that it brings you everything you want or
need in a motor car And at an unusually
low price
Its substantial beauty of line and color is ap-
parent at a glance Long continuous service em-
phasizes the value of its simplicity of design and the
high quality that lias been built into every part
The new Ford accelerates quickly and it will
do 55 to 65 miles an hour It is an easy-riding car
because of its specially designed springs and four
Houdaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorb-
ers It has fully enclosed four-wheel brakes and
the added safety of a Triplex sliatter-proof glass
windshield Operation and up-keep costs are low
and it has the stamina and reliability that mean
thousands of miles of uninterrupted service
See the nearest dealer and have him give you
a demonstration ride in the new Ford Cheek up
every point that goes to make a good automobile
and you will know it is a value far above the price

uai whio comes into his place of
business and spits into the gas
furnace We are convinced that the
open season on this type of varmint
hould be twelve months long and tt
is no crime to put thuim out of their
misery
We note in our daily that the In-
surance companies of the United
States paid out to policy holders and
beneficiaries this year the unbeliev-
able sum of $2200000000 It to re-
asonable to assume that this rep-
resents the customary annual pay-
m nt try the insurance companies It
occurred to m thxt this was rather
forcibly and convincing refutation
cf the charge that ithe people are all
spending as they go Until there la
a revision of tax laws Insurance rep-
resents about the only investment
one can make of an income nature
and be assured anything like a re-
asonable return on hie capital
A Praiseworthy
Enterprise
Every community should have a
boy scouts organization It will do
for the boys what nothing else will
do It will teach along with this play
and the bike the high Meals of
young manhood and do It in a way
that will attract and appeal to the
boy
The first requisite for a success-
ful boy scout group is a leader a
scout master- The sqout master
should be a man endowed with all
the attributes that he expects to
teach to be boys With anything less
his failure as well as tote failure of
the group Is a foregone conclusion!
Boys are quick and Impartial Jud-
ges They form opinions of their el-
ders from the little things that often
times older people overlook
There are a few avenues of service
in whioh a man may direct bis ef-
forts that are worth more in the
good done in dividends paid in the
form of high Christian manhood than
boy scout work
There is a place for one or more
groups in every cmmunlty and in
the event there Is not such group
it is the fault of the adult leadership
for the boys are always ready
Two Ways to
Increase Business
Every merchant realizes that there
are two ways in which he can In-
crease his business One Is by sell-
ing his merchandise to more cue to-'
mi:rs The other is by selling more
of his merchandise to the customers
he already has
The easiest and quickest way to
accomplish either of these alterna-
tives is by advertising
Advertising will sell more m®1’-
chandise to ithe customers one has
It will do It by first calling atten-
tion to the merchandise getting
the customer interested in It creat-
ing a desire for it and by lead-
ing him to buy It This has been tri-
ed a countless number of times and
results have proven that it works
out Just that way
Advertising can bring- to a ®tone
more customers because it reaches
out into a wider territory and brings
in customers that otherwise would
never think of coming to the store

The history of American business
la filled wltjj instances where small
businesses havie grown to large en-
terprises purely through tbe power
of advertising No where is there a
record of a business that has ac-
complished anything of note that
has not resorted to advertising
Advertising works foot the small
merchant the same it does for the
large department store
A Shave Only
Costs a Few Cants
Yet thene is nothing a man can do
in ithe matter of personal improve-
ment and adornment that will count
as muqhi as a fitesh shave
In like matter the printed matter
used by a firm to Its smallest item of
expense yet nothing about business
house or office counts so much as
correct - and well printed business
stationery
You Judge a man by bis personal
appearance Ytour store or business
Is Judged In like measure by others
by the kind of stationery you use
If it is sloppy slovenly rubber
stamp stationery it creates Just that
kind of an opinion of you and your
business

15000 DEMAND
SADGON DAILY
Vast Growing Army of Sargon Users
Marching Single File Would
Encircle Globe In Only
Few Yean Time
(By Richard L Simms)
ATLANTA G A: -More like a tale
from the -Arabian Nights of old
a record of modern business achieve-
ment reads the story of the marve-
lous growth and development' of Sar-
gon the New Scientific Compound
which has become the senaaition of
the- drug trade throughout the Uni-
ted States Canada and other coun-
tries The old illustration of the pebble
dropped Into the pool beBt describes
the- phenomenal and unprecedented
demand and its fame is rapidly
spreading over the entire continent
-Recently compiled figures reveal
that approximately 15000 men and
women are marching into drug stores
dally for Sargum and Sargon Soft
Mass Pills the marvelous new treat-
ment that is restoring health to
countless thousands by new and re-
markable methods undreamed of on-
ly a few years ago
Already more than 5000000 suf-
fering men and women have put it
to the test and have told other mil-
lions what it has done tar them
Marching regulation U S army
fashion — single file — this vast army
of Sargon users would reach from
New York to Ban Francisco and at
the present rate of sale — would in a
few years time encircle the entire
globe
The only explanation of Sargon’s
triumph in the (Medical World Is Sar-
gon’a truth worth Back of its tri-
umph in the homes and tt is the
grateful endorsements of its millions
of users that has made it the most
widely talked of medicine in the
world today
Sargo-n is extensively advertised
It is true tout oo - preparation no
matter how extensively advertised
could possibly meet with such phe-
nomenal success unless It possessed
absolute merit and extra-ordinary
powers as a medicine
There can be but one possible ex-
planation for Sargon’e amazing suc-
cess and it can be- told In one word
— MERIT!

Jan 1 2!— Arbitration treaty between

the
Broadcasting
Rehearsal
was thrown into Confusion
HURRIED whisperings staccato exclamations
buzzed through the New York studios of the
National Broadcasting Corporation during a final re-
hearsal one evening recently Thirteen minutes more
and "The Empire Builders" a program sponsored by
the Great Northern Railway would "go on the air"
Suddenly a protest: "That whistle's wrong! Who
ever heard a train whistle like that?”
The whistle had been described by the railroad
end the description faithfully followed by the Sound
Effects man But the element of doubt tossed before
the already tense performers threatened demoral iza
tion of the entire program One man kept his head
Calmly even casually Raymond Knight production
manager reached for the telephone
"Long distance? Give me the Great Northern Rail-
way at St Paul Minnesota This is an emergency call"
"Hold the line please"— -and in-less than a minute and
a quarter Knight was talking to the Great Northern
pfficisl in charge of the broadcasting program
"Tbt trail) whistle just as it goes into the tunnel
—ll it right?” Knight asked ''It seems funny and
shrill to us hers Listen nd I'll blow it for you”
"The whistle it sll right” pronounced St- Paul and
explained: "It's not s regular steam whistle It's an
sir whittle on sn electric train backing into s tunnel ’ '
"O K" smiled Knight And the program proceeded
