SAFE DRIVING: — While strict laws and police enforcemcn t may aid safe driving, It will never be complete until each , driver has learned the code of courtesy and tries his best all the tlm e to use it. Here are some of the characterizations of the courteous driver which all should carefully adhere to: He will stop to let children cross the street. He will drive cautiously through crowded areas. He will keep in the proper traffic and give the right of way to vehicles moving more rapidly. He will drive quietly by hospitals. He will park so as not to obstruct his neighbor's driveway. i He will refrain from parking in un- , loading places, so that truck drivers , may easily unload merchandise. j He will respect the rights of pedes- ( trians. i He will try to behave on the street us he would in his home before guests. H e will do the best job of driving he knows how to do. = Handling the snow after a storm like that one of this week is a real , job in every city, big and little, and , or those in charge of file state and couuty roads. In Chicago on Thursday it cost $750,000 to move the snow t so that traffic could go on and by night it was almost as bad as when i they started. We have heard a 1 number of compliments for Street Commissioner Amos Fisher, of this , city, for the manner in which he and his force handled the problem here. Incidentally the stio,v niasc,, trouble and increases the duties of the telephone and light companies but in this community everything has been well taken care of and the citizens have suffered but little inconvenience. We are sorry that several boys and very young men have been caught the past few days In the act of stealing. Its a bad start and of course the idea that they could get away with it for iny length of time was a very foolish ,ne There is only one way to play 1 he game hoys and that is—on the quart- You may hear of some one pulling an easy money job” and think you can get something for nothing by following that method but eventually you will have to pay the penalty. Then your life is ruined and you are far worse off than if you had fallowed the straight and narrow path. Among the features for the readers of the Daily Democrat In the near future we will present “Understanding Heart,” a brand new serial by that greatest story writer, Peter D. Kyne. It is a clean and thrilling story which will grasp you and hold your Interest, we are sure, and it will entertain you from day to day as you read the news events of this community In this paper. It will start January 29th. Look for the opening chapters and don’t miss any of them. There seems to be a rather concerted movement to provide for the issuance of automobile license from one of the offices in the court house in each county, but there comes more troubles tor since it adds about SI,OOO a year to the salaries there is a contest for the job. The clerk, recorder, treasurer or auditor could haudle the job for that money. And they ought to fix it while they arc at it so that

I about three-fourths of the money is P retained in the county where it is paid to be used on road maintenance. A community without a live newspaper would be a dead place, de- ) pendent upon papers from the larger 1 cities with only un Incidental interest in your welfare. You have been a loyal lot of readers and we deeply appreciate it as we start our twentyI fifth year. Won’t you grant us the [ further favor of paying for your paper i during the next month? man You need the Daily Democrat in your family circle. It will chronicle the news of the couuty, state and nation for a year and at a cost of less than a penny a day. We are anxious that you renew this month so we can contract for our paper and service and arrange our expenses for the year. Please renew now. If the services of the past week in me various churches have been really successful the attenuance tomorrow will prove it. If Interest lias been aroused and the folks of the community stirred to action, seating room will he at a premium at the Sunday ) meetings. mmmmll—^ i An automobile advertisement says “this car lias a maximum speed of j 105 miles an hour.” Fine for the hit ■, and run driver and the bandits. Can’t ( see how it will appeal to any law - abiding citizen in a state where the maximum speed permitted is thirtyfive miles. The nartford City News doesn’t : object to paying the legislators ten > dollars a day if they earn it, hut re- ' calls the fact that on numerous oecasions the net results have been a loss ; and suggests a plan whereby the law makers be remunerated on a piece c work scale. «—==_=»• J If Senator Vare spent a million dol- 1 laA for his nomination and a million | more to be elected, how much will hr , pay to retain his seat? There’s a , chance for some of the boys to get i their’s back with interest.

s should say that to you now, Would you have uny to bring to hint? What will you have won for Him when you ’ meet Him In Eternity? Jesus will stand on the shore some ’of these ' morning when life is going out of you - and me, and I am wondering will we . I>e reudy to buy our lives, by the fish that we liavo caught, to hear the words, Come and dine. We will share 1 then as we have obeyed here. Methodist Church “A Square Deal” will be the sublet of Rev. Myron K. Taylor’s sermon Sunday morning at the Methodist church. In the afternoon there will be a service for men only and hoys over the age of twelve on the subject “When a Man’s a Man.” "Is There a Hell" will bo the subject of the evening sermon. The people who are not attending church elsewhere are urged to attend these services There will be a service tonight at the church. It will be preceded by a prayer meeting at 7:00 o’clock. Rev. Taylor will preach on the subject “The Supreme Call of the Hour.” Tho service was well attended Friday night. The Booster chorus, under the leadership of Mrs. Taylor, led In the singing. “The Devil’s Partners” was the subject of the sermon Fritay night. “There is no greater sin of which a man can be guilty in this day than to he found among those who are on the side of the opposition so far as their relation to Jesus Christ is concerned," he declared. He said in part, “No man need he . in darkness, when he has the Bible 1 as a lamp to his feet, if he will study God’s word, there is no excuse for i being if) darkness. God’s word clearly tells us where we are; He gives us roles and formulas, all we have f to do s to apply them to our lives. “To be with Christ means to he a ■ompanton of Christ. Is Christ your companion? Does he eat bread with i '/ou? Is he with you around the family board? Is he with you in veur c 1 {tome life, your social life and bus- i iness life? Either Christ is your companion or Satan is your companion. “To be with Christ seems that we an the side of Christ. With whom are we, whom do we represent today? Jesus said, ‘He that is not with me is against ’me.’ “To hew ith Christ means that we! ire obedient to the heavenly voice as together we go forth to that conflict 1 against sin, worldiness and ungodli-: ness. It means that we will stand with the church until victory is won. We are losing the battle today, for the simple reason that we, who make up the membership of the church, are playing at church when there is a real battle on. "We e loyalists or traitor or slackers to the cause of Cffrist? AVe did not like to be called traitors or slackers during the war and we do not like to be calledjthat now. There is going to be a victory here, either Christ will win or the devil. Wc arc helping right now. We have been helping Christ or the devil win. "It we are on the side of tho devil we may e xpect to go to the devil’s hell, but if we are on the side ot Christ, we will go to His heaven, and mere is a reward which will last tnroughoQt the endless ages of eternity. "Jesus said, ‘He that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.’ It is not sufficient to be a member of the church: it, is not sufficient to he an official member of th (; church; it is not sufficient to be a teacher in the Sunday school: we are supposed to be gathering by our prayer life, by. our efforts, by our influence; we are supposed to be helping to bring souls into the kingdom of God. This is not a preacher’s job alone; we as Christian people called upon to be gatherers. Let us stand foursquare. with Jesus Christ in this great work.” j Evangelical Church A marked increase in attendance at the services last night. A very fine | ~ong service. The Junior Choir also nelped and gave a number of special selections. Rev. Loose preached. Subject: “We Love Him because He First Loved Us.” A very fine interest was manifested. This first week has been very successful. Baptist Church Another splendid service was held at the I’.aptist church last evening A goodly numbfcr were present and entered into the service with a keen interest. Rev. O. E. Miller spoke using the subject, "Which way are you headed?” j All are headed toward some goal In life wheher conscious of the fact or, not. Even the person who has no eon-! eern or ambition is nevertheless headed somewhere. Life’s decisions often} I are made upon small turn of events and have weight for time and eternity Ruth seemingly made a,foolish decision in turning away from her own people ami her religion to go with her • mother-in-law but the wisdom of her I choice mo one doubts. Moses made i a choice when he turned his back on ; Hie then present possible glories of ; Egypt ami cast his lot with the slaves

j of Israel. Josus determined to put his t life entirely In the control and will of , his Father though it meant Calvary. I Afterwards it nieunt glory. We are all headed toward Eternity. Where we , spend eternity depends on decisions 3 made lu this life. We can know where , we will spend eternity. Where depends « on our choice for or against Jesus i Christ. There will be ho service this evening but tomorrow will be a big day with the morning and evening services The morning merger service begins promptly at 9:30 with Mr. Bell leading. Another of the great "I AM's” of the Lord will lie used as a message in the worship period. "I Am the True Vine”. The young people will meet at six . o’clock, Mary Sunshine Hower is leader. The evening hour at seven. This will be the continuance of the evangelistic I campaign which will continue next I week. Zion Reformed Church “What Lack I yet?” was the ser- I moil subject of the Rev. F. H. Rupnow I at the Zion Reformed church last I night. He said, “This question is the I cry of the human heart to-day. We I are a age. There is discontent I and misunderstanding the world over. I The question comes forth in all of our I work. What's wrong with the moral I life? Jesus said to the young ruler, I ‘lf you be good why do you not keep I tilt laws?' Tile young man replied that I he had kept all of the laws and then I Jesus asked of him to sell all that he I had. The rich young ruler wns wealthy I but wealth cannot make up the abun- I dance of life. It does not answer the I inner longing of the human heart. I Wealth is no guapentee that I have I laid hold on eternal life. The young I man was rich ill his Jewish religion I but it did not satisfy him. Our religion I must bo deeper than merely church I relationship. The young man was rich I morally, and yet there wa3 a defici- I ency. We cannot live our spiritual lives (

, by moral formality. Jwus’ answer was f 'Follow Me’. This He says to ell »‘‘ n - But let us usk what kind of a Christ i He must be to us. We answer. One . that will rule us ami not a Chrlit Just , to suit our way of thinking. Christ de- , mauds deflnlto objectives. We must i let Him be everything. It means subjection of body and soul. Fur the young man to sell all, was very stringent. We wottfo also thing so. But what did Jesus mean? The man's heart was dinging to his worldly goods and possesions. His Interest needed to be directed into spiritual channels. If Jqstw becomes the first preference In the lives of men then worldly goods will also become a blessing and not a
