“CARRY IT HOME”

In the effort at nation-wide economy, no one move will have greater effect, provided it be systematically and universally practiced, than the move to eliminate the expense of special delivery of commodities, that has grown to sudh enormous proportions in this country. For many years now the custom has been growing with the growth of the telephone service, until in almost any part of the country if the lady of the house wants a paper of pins or the man of the house needs a thrasher or an auto, a

LOOK THIS OVER 100-ACRE FARM with hiee, modern farm' house on it; three good barns, silo, two hen houses, two good water wells, good fences; land lies nearly level with just enough slope to drain good; good apple orcjiard; telephone in house; R. F. D. by the door; 2% miles to R. R.; 3-4 mile to school; life miies to church. Will sell this farm with the following equipment, if wanted: 15 head purebred, high grade Jersey cattle, team, of 5 and 6-year-old horses, wt. 2500; 30 tons hay, 5 acres corn, 8 acres buckwheat, 6 acres oats, life acres barley, 100 hens, full line farm tools. There is 20 acres standing timber, balance of this fanm is all cleared and most all tillable. Small 'payment down, balance to suit. Farm is located within mite of farm J. A. Keister purchased last December. For further information write to J. M. 'BH.OWfI Sugar Grove, Pa., Warreu Co.

telephone call brings one to the door as readily and as promptly as the other. This is peculiarly a modern practice. Our forefathers carried or hauled home their purchases. We. under the spur of necessity, earn and should do likewise. There are two angles to the proposed reform that should appeal to the public. First, the direct saving to the purchaser. This, in the aggregate, is bound to t>e enormous as the expense of delivery throashout the country has grown to hage proportions. Second, the releasing for other and more needed service the immense capital and equipment how tied up in the special delivery of merchandise. Thousands upon thousands of horses, wagons. aatos„ trucks —to say nothing of the men and hoys— —are now engaged in this work, which is to a large extern; entirely superfluous. There is a vital need in other channels for all of this force, and" it should le released and made available* where it is so badly needed. Among the economic reforms none is more important. Get the “Carry it home" spirit. Yoa will profit by it, the dealer will profit by it, and the country at large will be the greatest gainer of all- as it will eliminate one of the most wasteful of all practices.

THE GRINDING OF THE GODS

“The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.’’ Never was the truth of the foregoing more apparent than at the present time. In 1914 the world was plunged into war by the action of Austria —insolent and domineering—insisting upon the chastisement of poor little Serbia, a nation oxer which she had tyranized for generations, and which she was even then holding in forced and unjust sob jo ration. But in her haughty disregard for the rights of others, Austria sowed the wind from which she is now reaping the whirlwind. Recent and persistent press dispatches indicate that the empire is in a bad way. Rent and tom by the strife she herself precipitated, she now would be only too glad' to make peaee : oh any tonne that would leave her even the semblance of a. nation. But peace for stria will mean practically extinction as a nationIn the very improbable event off a German victory she would be all but devoured by that aggressive neighbor in pay for “services rendered.” On the other hand, a complete entente victory will mean that she will be almost totally dismembered and her ill-gotten territory restored to the-diffCrent peoples from whom she wrested itThe way of the transgressor is hard, for , nations as well as for individuals.

UNITED STATES BEAST IN DEBT

The national debts of the allies range from $27 to f 16# for each inhabitant, while that of the United States is only sll. 4 In view of the fact that a new Liberty loan is among the probabilities of .the near future, these figures have significance. They

teach us that our Uncle Samuel, is really rich, a plutocrat, in fact; and not only that, but that he ha 3 no poor ' kin. His children, too, are prosperous and out of debt. , h fact, many of our brothers and cousins are veritable Croesuses. They have been protected and encouraged in the pleasant pursuit of the dollar until their coffers are fall to overflowing. Uncle Sam has been to them a most indulgent guardian. He has smiled as they plied up their dollars, asking only that they contribute to his modest needs, and allowing them to keep the lion's shares The ancient Hebrew gave the tithe of his increase to the God who prospered the labors of his hands and granted the increase of Lis herds and his fields, And he thought himself not at all ill used at that. * • But, reenember that the Hebrew gave “as the Lord had prospered him.” Are Americans going to do as well ? * Are the representatives of big business ready to give as they have been prospered?—Where they-ha.ua. amassed in millions, will they give in proportion? Special stress was laid on the effort to make the last loan a “popular” loan. Those whom the “Lord had prospered” were not importuned. The next loan is up to the Midases. the Croesuses, the favored sons of an indulgent parent. Will they to the occasion and proVe that their wealth is in worthy fcaalds? Big business, it is up to you. Of what mettle are you made?

AN OBJECT LESSON

A trip through the country near any large marketing center will, if the traveler be an observant person, bring to his attention some facte that it will be well to heed. More especially will he do well to note them carefully if ihfe is a I farmer. One thing that will claim his attention is that in the planting of crops by truck farmers he will ob- , serve almost a perfect unanimity in variety throughout a given community. Cabbages and tomatoes, onions and radishes, turnips and green corn, he will find the same variety being grown by all.. If this same man will happen into this same community at the time these crops are being marketed he will see the results of this system. He will see the result of standardization. He will see prodI acts from any number of truck •farms assembled in one big shipment. all consigned 'to the same market, and all of uniform grade and value. Each man knows exactly what his produce is worth, Because he knows that it measures up to a given standard. Had these truckers “mixed’’ their products—that is, had every man planted the variety oT any [given crop that most appealed to Mm—this facility in marketing could not have been attained. Here is food for thought for the regular farmer other than the tracker. The great markets of the world have nicely adjusted standards in all commodities they handle. A shipment of corn, for instance, need not be of any particular variety, but it must be all of one variety if the shipper would get the best price. Now let us carry the lesson a step further. All shippers know that it is easier to get the top. price on a shipment of a number of cars of any commodity than on a few hundred bushels. Hence it stands to reason that the more of a given grade of any commodity a community can turn out the more readily it is marketed and the bet- : ter price it brings. Farmers would do well to not only establish farm standards, but neighborhood standards as well. Organize your productive plans with a view to systematic and pro- ; Stable marketing. Get together land decide on the most profitable crops the community is adapted to, and then as to the variety of each. When such an agreement has been reached, much of the difficulty in ; marketing will have been over- ! come.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

I had a friend, I loved him- well, we ne'er had fuss or friction; he’d sit with me in my hotel, and talk of verse and fiction. We'd talk of Shelley, Moore and Scott, of Coleridge, burns and > Dickens; such conversation hits the spot, the jaded mind it quickens. Now nearly every modern skate will bnly talk of getting, of stocks and bonds add real estate, of rents and contract letting. And so I loved the man who spieled of books and those who penned thorn, from Homer down to Eugene Field, to roast them or defend them. And then one night he sought my den, and told a tale of sorrow, and ere'

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

he left he borrowed ten, which he’d return tomorrow. ’Twas long ago, and nevermore my friend and I foregather; he does not knock upon my door, but shuns my portal, rather. No more he makes the keen remark that set my pulses humming, but slides into an alley dark whene’er he sees me coming. I can’t get close enough to say, “That debt I have forgiven; oh, visit me, the good old way, for I’m to boredom driven.’’ Perhaps you have a cherished friend, who makes your life more sunny? If you would hold bim to the end, don’t lend him any money.

ALL WOMEN SHOULD ENROLL

Many Hesitate Because of a Lack of Understanding. Indianapolis, September 11. — State Food Commissioner Barnard has received from Herbert Hoover, national administrator of food, feed and fuel, authorization to continue the enrollment campaign among Indiana women until October 14. Commissioner Barnard, from reports received during the past twoweeks, became convinced that hundreds of patriotic Indiana women did not understand the purpose of the* food enrollment or else had been misinformed. The enrolling agents in the several townships and precincts of the state will be given positive and authoritative statements of just what the Hoover campaign is, and will be requested to make another canvass of their districts, so that no woman, because of a misunderstanding or lack of information as to what is intended, will have failed to sign her name and enrolled in the greatest conservation movement of all time. In addition to the extension of time secured for the registration of Indiana -women, Mr. Barnard has received fromi the federal government certain printed documents of a highly informative character, such as will be exceedingly valuable to the thrifty housewife. These documents will be distributed free during the final canvass and are expected to lend emphasis to the assertion that the Hoover food campaign is the most important bit of patriotism and at the same time the greatest possible self-service that will be open to Indiana women, no matter how long the war lasts.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

Here’s hoping Russia will “come back’’ with a rush. Our food reformers are doing about everything, it seems, except reform'. Everybody talks peace, everybody wants peace, and nobody expects peace. Go to it! The United States is now making its own dye stuffs. Germany, however, seeks to spell it d-i-e. Mexico, at last, is making a rec'ord. There hasn’t been a new revolution for over forty-eight hours. Just now, however, we’re, wondering what scheme the income tax collectors will evolve for rounding up the head waiters. Crop prospects are not so -bad, it seems, and the speculators are taking prompt advantage by hogging everything they can get their clutches on. The poor man will pay. Vice-President Marshall suggests sending some of the windy senators to France with the aviation corps. He had thought of recommending another place, but his satanic majesty objects. Notwithstanding the back yards and vacant lots produced millions of dollars’ worth of food stuffs, old H. C. L. still 'perches on the top rung of the ladder and hands out sardonic grins. Latest reports from hell are to the effect that the devil refuses admission to price boosters and food hogs on the ground that their presence would contaminate .the other inhabitants. Never mind all of this bombastic piffle about “what We are fighting for.’’ Our country is at war and the main thing right now is to get in shape to fight. Piffle and wind won’t win battles.

DREAMING—No. 2

I saw a little flower, That grew in a desert land, And miles around its humble home Was a waste of burning sand. No living human being Had ever seen its face, Until by chance I spied it Within that desert place. And still it bloomed and blossomed. And its fragrance filled the air, With no one there to love it, Or give it kindly care; And I murmured to myself that day Its work has been well done, For the world is better that it lived And so its race is run. It bowed its head in meekness, And soon had passed away, Its petals and its stamens Had turned to earthly clay. I saw its beauty vanish That day at set of sun, But reason whispered to me, Its work has just begun.
