WHAT A YEAR WILL DO.

The year ill I will do much lor this community if we but give it an opportunity.. They tell us it is to be a year of plenty—and we trust, of peace. But to secure the best results for our own people it is necessary that together—that we co-oper--MSrzrlhat we labor one tor the oth&i. as well as for self. _ The prosperity of a community is dependent largely upon the amount of money in circulation in the community. Money, is a present day necessity, and without it no community can survive. ' -A it would seem, there, ore. that about the best course we could pursue would be about as follows: - 1. Produce as much as possible—not only for,home consumption, but also for export. 2. Buy from a distance only what is actually necessary, and that cannot be had from some home dealer. b. Push the business, of every home enterprise to the limit, for every dollar that is brought into the community, and remains here, makes the comm,unity as a whole Just that much richer. 4. Devise means for increasing the output of the farms, and study methods for securing the best returns for marketed products. 5. If a farmer wants to hold hi® Trops for higher price-;, see that he has tlie. money to tide him over, for his increased returns means that much added wealth to the community as a whole. 6. I ind something for everyone to do—something that will enrich the ’Community, as well as the individual.

Coal Time! • > " 1 *" ■■ ——— All indications point to a long hard winter, which means a long big coal bill. Are you prepared? If not, come down and inspect our bins and let us talk the situation over with you. Ha rrington Bros Phone 7

Drones are a dead weight wherever fpund. . , .7, Get all of the money we can from outside, sources, and keep as much as possible of what we get. 8. Make an effort to bring two dollars in where one goes out. A year of this medicine will bring a healthy glow to the community check, and will inspire that confidence and self reliance which always brings success.

Democratic Press Bureau Letter.

I By Lew Ellinghain |

Indianapolis, Jan?-7.—Today before. an impressive audience -that completely filled the House chamber to overflowing, even the corridors • urrounding this part.of the building being an interested mass of people, Governor Ralston delivered his mesage to the members of the Indiana General Assembly. It was a good, wholesome, well tempered message. " was neither radical or ultra conservative, but just the message that One;' might expect from a chief ex- - -vault e. .who.has only at heart the 'well being and the improvement of conditions and people of his state. The recommendations made were in themselves safe and sane, and they were made in a manner befitting the chief executive of so great and important a state as is the Hoosier common weatlth. There was no self laudation of the man or the office the speaker occupied, nor were there any attempts at self glory for the really big things accomplished um der his administration. In this the speaker had the right to say much because seldom is a governor called upon to hold the reins of government in so many trying ordeals as has fallen to the lot of Governor Ralston, since the 1 2th day of January, 1912. The first was the awful flood which devastated many sections of the state, destroying millions of dollars in property and taking the homes of thousands of our people. The suffering was heart-rending, but under the guiding hand of this cool headed executive something like fifty thousand dollars was distributed among the needy thus enabling them to rehabilitate their homes, besides carload after carload of clothing, furniture and food stuff was districted to the many devastated districts. This was all done without costing the state a cent and now it is

hard to find any one who remem-, bers that awful flood and the distress and suffering which- followed it. Following close upon the heels of the flood came the street car strike when for more than a week the street cars were standing idle upon the streets of Indianapolis, during which time life was endangered, to say nothing^“of how the public looked on and suffered. Over the protests of his friends and many of his official advisors, the governor quietly called in part of the Indiana national guard, and almost before they wer6 quartered and ready for their first taste of hard tack, the war ended in a compromise to which both sides of the controversy subscribed. Then in the latter part of September without previous notice or warning, appeared the deadly “foot and mouth disease.” According to the governor’s message the disease is thought to be under control if not wholly wiped" out in the state, and that the total cost will not exceed one hundred thousand dollars. So the governor could have entertained the members of the general assembly and the visitors as well, with a bound volume or two upon his accomplishments during the first two years of his official life. It is to be hoped that the next two years will not be so strenuous, but we know they will be just as successful. But it was a splendid message from a splendid man and a splendid governor.

Salient Points of Message. Recommends the purchase of supplies and stationery through the board of printing, binding and stationery. Recommends only the employment of sufficient help to transact the business of the legislature, and that a list of employes and the amounts due them be furnished the auditor of state once each week. Recommends that the secretary of the senate and clerk of the house indicate in writing over their own signatures when the bills pass on final reading, and that the name of the enrolling clerk also accompany each bill that goes to the governor for his signature. Recommends that paid lobbyists be compelled to registerwith the secretary of state, setting forth the character of their employment and the individual or corporation they represent. Discusses state finance and temporary loans. Recommends the repeal of the sinking fund. Rejoices over the healthful condition of state finances and rejoices too that at this moment for the first time in eightytwo years, the state does not owe one cent of foreign debt, thejast_being_paid on the 31st of December. ~ Recommends that the state .; tax board be given the authority' of equalizing personal property by classes. Recommends the removal of county assessors for cause. Recommends a more thorough classification of state printing contract. Praises the public service , commission. Should pass a primary election bill if the people want it. Gives history of the penal farm up to date. Endorses the public accounting law. Recommends the enactment of a law creating a board of conciliation and arbitration. Pass an apportionment act ol representation for the general assembly. Recommends that the institutional schools be placed under the supervision of the state board of education. ‘ ‘ Urges action on the twentytwo constitutional amendments now pending before the legislature. Recommends an appropriation of twenty thousand dollars to <be placed with a non-political non-salaried centennial commission of nine members, whose duty it would be to give some public celebration which would fittingly celebrate the state’s hundredth anniversary.

Try This for Neuralgia. Thousands of people keep on suffering with neuralgia because they do not know what to do for it. Neuralgia is a pain in the nerves. What you want to dp is to soothe the nerve itself. Apply Sloan’s Liniment to the surface over the painful part —-do not rub it in. Sloan’s Diniment penetrates very quickly to the' sore, irritated nerve and allays the inflammation. Get a bottle of Sloan’s Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, lumbago,’ sciatica and~Uke ailments? Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief.— Advt. ' , Subscribe for The Democrat.

THE FIRST BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON

Judges 4:4-34: 5:1-22—Jan. 10. Sisera and Barak—Mrs. Deborah and Mrs. Jael —Was the Latter a Murderess?— How “the Stars In.. Their *. Courses Fought Against Sisera." ."TJie righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivercih them out of their troubles."— Psalm 8} til. E have heretofore pointed fl fl I out that the great antitypical Battle of Armageddon will quickly follow the present world-war. Today’s Study relates to the first great battle in the Valley of Megiddo, noted for its many Slaughters, and therefore made the basis of the Divine prediction respecting the “Time of Trouble such as was not since there was a nation," preparing the way for Messiah’s Kingdom. The Israelites, guilty of idolatry, had, according to God’s Covenant with

them, been chastened by the permitting of their enemies to Vanquish them. General SI-„ sera, of the Canaanites, having humbled ttfe Israelites of North Palestine for years, started southward with a large army, intent upon victotories. Thestrength of his army is

shown in that it contained nine bun-, dred iron chariots. When he had gotten as far southward as the .Valley of Megiddo, messengers informed him' that Barak, an Israelite, was coming southward with an army of ten thousand Israelites. Under Divine guidance Barak made Mt. Tabor his army base—later known as the Mount of Transfiguration, where Messiah’s coming Kingdom was represented in a vision.—2 Peter 1:16-21. The word of Israel’s God directed General Barak to advance against the Canaanites. Sisera’s army was discomfited and scattered. A burst swelled the river, making quagmires of the lower valleys, rendering useless Sisera’s chariots. His soldiers, fleeing for their lives, were cut down by the Israelites, while thousands were swept by the freshets down to the sea. This Divine interference on behalf of God’s people is figuratively styled the fighting- of the “stars*’ against Sisera’s army. Similarly, in the great Armageddon near at hand, it will notj be human might that will prevail, but the hosts of. humanity will effect the complete disruption of the Present Order. (Zechariah 14:13.) It is the cloud-burst of Truth and the rising waters of knowledge which are bringing to pass this great human catastrophe—which the Lord will overrule for the world's blessing. The Power of a« Faithful Woman. The Canaanites had conquered Israel. This conquest, permitted of God, had its insidious start when the Israelites, neglecting the Divine direction, had begun to intermarry with -the Canaanites. These had enticed their husbands and their children to worship the heathen gods. Apparently many Israelites who had not gone over to idolatry had nearly lost their knowledge of the true God. In this dark hour the princes of the tribes seemed to lack patriotism, as well as faith in God, Each tribe was a separate state with no cohesion between them—the Divinely-intended bond of union, the true religion, having related. About this time the Lord, seeking a channel through which to be gracious to His people, found it in a woman—Deborah. Sbfe realized the situation more keenly than did others, probably because more deeply consecrated to God. Deborah removed from her home in the north to the Highlands of Ephraim. From there she sent stimulating mes sages to the chief men of, the tribes. She was respected, her counsel appreciated, her advice sought. In this sense she judged admonished — guided Israel. She i§’styled.a prophetess. This might mean either a public teacher or one through whom the Lord sent special messages. Some things connected with the story indicate the latter. When Sisera’s army had proceeded southward, Deborah sent word to Barak,'a leader in her tribe—‘•Naphtali —to march immediately to battle Barak refused unless she would co-oper-ate. She agreed to do so, forewarning him, however, that he would injss part of his blessing as a result. . Sisera’s army defeated, he fled afoot with others, only to be overtaken by
