( Hear Prdf. Holden Tonight Residents of ? Richmond should avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing Prof. Holden speak on "Communities Are Made'of Folks, Not of Farms, Houses and Factories." The caption of his address describes the contents of his speech. Our community is made up of agricultural and industrial interests. Both occupy important positions and have a bearing on our prosperity. : Prof J Holden will show that the men and women of , a community are the vital elements in the homes farms and factories. Some of our citizens may be laboring under the delusion that the institute is designed solely for the benefit of the farmers. This is a mistake. We who reside in Richmond have a vital interest in the institute and may learn many important facts and truths by attending tonight's lecture. If you believe that the speech will interest only farmers, read; the topic on which Prof. Holden will speak to -convince yourself of your error. Prof. Holden is one of the ablest men engaged in-agricultural work in the United States. Our appreciation of the necessity of community spirit and development will be measurably increased by hearing his lecture tonight at the Coliseum.

The Agricultural Institute The farmers' institute, conducted here yesterday and Hoday, undoubtedly made many city dwellers'4 and rural residents appreciate more fully, the friendly relationship ihat must exist between these, two portions of our population, rand created a better understanding of their com'.mon interests. . . '. The institute was conducted on such a broad plane that both farmer and city man found much

Progressive cities have abandoned the narrow view of looking only toward the development "6f; their Town civic affairs and are beginning to realize, that the improvement of the rural districts is a problem which cannot be ignored or neglected. They have learned that the farmer's welfare reacts powerfully on the prosperity of the city. A municipality that neglects to. heed the request of the farmer for betterment of conditions is stricken with blindness and unable to grasp Ye of the fundamental causes of its own prosperity..; Let agriculture languish; let the farmer become discouraged and dismayed, and an almost irreparable injury is done to the whole commun

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN . STICH

GOOD TIMES ARE AROUND THE CORNER The world is overstocked with pessimism. It is a commodity for which there is never a great demand, yet, with life already more than supplied, we keep our indigo-gloom shops running overtime. Nobody wants your gloom cremate It. Every man has his own troubles keep yours to yourself. Life is a serious business, but you do not need to be fearful nor solemn to be serious. A long face is a sure sign of short sense. If you know what is good for you and yours, as well as for the rest of us, be a joy not a joy-killer. Of course, sad things will happen, and when they do the heart will grow heavy and laughter will turn to tears, but with the sun shining even tears may be transfigured into prisms through which hope casts its bow of promise. Gloom has no bow of promise, it is an all-enveloping sepulchral shroud, a dampening, depressing, penetrating mist. Why cultivate a mood that is without assets, that pays no dividends? We send waste to the incinerator that is where gloom belongs. Burn up your forebodings and dire premonitions! There is a lot of parboiled palaver about hard times and impending ruin if the spouters had a little more gray matter they would almost be half-wits. Anybody with half an eye can see we are due for one of the greatest periods of prosperity this country has ever experienced. It always stops raining It has just about stopped now. Temporary unemployment will soon be adjusted and then as before America will be calling for more hands than it can possibly scare up. People who know estimate that $10,000,000,000 of public work is waiting to be done and that is conservative estimating! Thousands of miles of railroad need repairing. One million three hundred thousand homes must be built. Acres upon acres have to be tilled. Public highways throughout the length and breadth of our land cry aloud for improving. Thousands of schools need to be reared. Hundreds of industries have to be re-established. More telephones, more hospitals, more hotels, more theaters, more factories, more waterworks, more electric plants, more of everything is what America needs. It is but a few months since railroads could not handle the huge volume of passenger traffic and terminals were choked with freight for which there were insufficient carriers. That time will come again; indeed, must come again; It is the only way one hundred million Americans, to say nothing of eight to ten hundred million Europeans can be provided with life's necessaries, comforts and luxuries. The world's shelves are bare and the long restocking process is about to commence. Don't worry, keep as busy as you can; if you haven't a job get one, any one squash the croakers. Unexampled good times are right around the Corner.

Dinner Stories In (he sere and yellow leaf of his career. Mr. Moneybags began to think about the future, and one day he visited the clerk of the local cemetery in the hope of striking a bargain. To his dismay, the clerk named a price which the old miser considered out of all proportions to the value of the small plot he was after. "Absurd! Ridiculous," fumed Mr. Moneybags. "Can't you reduce it?" "It's the usual fee," replied the clerk politely. "Well. I'll not pay it!" exclaimed Mr. Moneybags. "The risk is too great." "What risk?" asked the clerk. "What risk?" retorted Mr. Moneybags. "Why, the risk of losing it all! 1 may die at sea!" "Arriving at Victoria station the other night," writes a correspondent

ity, for he is a member of the same social organization of which the city is only a part and not an entirety. The appreciation of this important truth is one of the hopeful signs in the solution of the farm problem. If the urban dweller understands how absolutely dependent he is upon the. producer of foodstuffs, he will begin to see that the farmer is not a negligible part, but a vital factor, in our municipal and national life. Let the city man understand the conditions under which the farmer must work, the relatively small return upon his investment, the discrepancy between the farmer's sales price and the cost to the consumer, and he will approach with sympathetic spirit and open mind the problems which the farmer is forced to solve in order that he may protect his investment and be assured a reasonable and just return. The farmer believes, and rightly so, that the urban dweller has not understood the farm problem and that he has passed an unfavorable judgment before he has carefully examined the facts. Against the prejudiced viewpoint of the city the farmer has been waging an educational campaign that lately has begun to bring results. Instead of being an isolated unit of our com.munity life, with an individual problem relating only to himself, the farmer today is being accepted as an integral part of the whole community and his affairs are being viewed and considered as our own.

institute, as well as the scores

of others that have been held in this district and the hundreds that will be conducted all over the country before spring, are powerful agencies in driving home this new appreciation of the position of the farmer in the social organization. This mutual regard for the common interest of the food producer and food consumer will create co-operation and harmony, out of which will proceed helpful and lasting results.

The Excess Profits Tax According to J. Austen Chamberlain, chancellor of the British exchequer, the excess profits tax is to be withdrawn in that country and no new tax is to be levied in its place. The defects inherent in the tax measure itself, the bad effect it has had on enterprise, and its influence in retarding readjustments are some of the reasons which he assigns for its withdrawal. . All efforts in the United States to repeal the excess profits' tax have failed, although conditions here are infinitely better than those that are to be found in England. We are a creditor

nation, our foreign trade has shown a wonderful growth, we are emerging slowly but safely from the readjustment period; but our progress is impeded by the excess profits tax. Congress might profitably address itself to the repeal of this tax law. If hitherto it pointed to England's example, it will find the worth of that argument destroyed by the recent announce

ment of Mr. Chamberlain. Business and industry would feel the vivifying influence of tax reform.

Answers to Questions CENTERVILLE - (1) Is "David Copperfleld," a biography of Charles Dickens? (2) Does the government 1-rovide a home for Viae Presidents? (3 Was the Tower of Pisa built to lean or has. its foundation settled on one side, causing it to lean? The story of "David CopperUead." perhaps Dickens's best-liked novel. Is frequently said to be the story of bia own boyhood. It is well known that the great Titer drew much of the material for his characters from persons well known to him. So it is said that many incidents in "David Copperfleld" are taken from his own life. When he put out this book he 6ald to a friend. "I seem to be sending part of myself into the shadowy world." Again he remarked. "I consider this the best of all my books, for the reason that so many of the experiences related in it are based on actualities in my own life." Dickens said to his wife that he thought of printing it as part of his autobiography. Most of the characters were drawn from people he knew. His mother unconsciously posed as Mrs. Nickleby; his father as Mr. Micawber. The prototype of Miss Mowcher was a neighbor who followed the same ocupation as the "volatile" lady. Clara Peggotty was suggested by Mary Weller. who nursed Dickens when a child, and David's child -was founded on actual Dora, whom the novelist knew in his early days. (2) We do not furnish a home for our Vice Presidents, but there is agitation now going on to buy him a house. It is said that the Vice President is under very heavy expense and that the present incumbent of that office, Thomas R. Marshall, will leave his job a very considerable loser financially. " f3) It is the opinion of competent judges that the inclination of the bell tower of the Cathedral of Pisa, Italy, is due to a defective foundation. The tower was commenced in 1174. but was not completed until the middle of the Fourteenth Century. It is built of white marble and is 188 feet in height. Abuot 1635 Galileo made experiments in gravitation from Uiis' tower. R1rrn may nfctatn nnniwr Mneatlona It wrlflnar the PallnAtnnt Bneattnim find Aimwen Arptirtmrat.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It". -Up'.

PRIDE

Randolph Bourne, a brilliant American writer who recently died, left many thoughts that stand out like cut diamonds. Here is one: "Only Pride is creation". Pride forms one of the towering pUlars in the structure of efficient performance. ( Not until you feel the worth of what you do, are you able freely to dominate and achieve. Through the bard days of darkness and discouragement, up and beyond the grueling grades of 6teep ways, are you asked to go If you desire substantial reward. It takes pride to endure. It is pride In a man's heart that makes him a willing gift, in mind and body, to be taken in hand by some great idea or noble cause. Pride does not stoop to littleness. Rather does it see in the signs of unselfishness and sacrifice the elements that lead to eternal character. Life is but a link in the chain of everlasting good. If a man dies, does he live again? Yes, for a man lives forever In the deeds and thoughts of his life expression. And every man who shall pass bis thought through every age that has been, shall be whitened' and renewed, to go on his way the better for every creative thought left behind. It's the pride in a man's soul that leads him on! Pride creates first then contributes in natural turn. Until we become too proud to 6toop to mean ways and unworthy ends, we shall have tasted of but a sample of what life holds in substance and bigness.

many a gladsome fit, till lullabys their mother crons and so the calm hours flit. And when the morning come3 I read how men who roamed by night fell victims to the auto's speed, were shot up in a fight, or touched for all their chicken feed by some unholy wight. I read of kidnapped maidens fair, and parents in distress, of youths who lose, in White Way glare, the number of their mess, of misdeeds in the gamblers' lair, and crimes no man dare guess. I 6ay, if those who gallivant, would" spend their nights at home, with grandma, niece and maiden aunt, and read some helpful tome, the crime of which the peelers rant would disappear like foam. I'd rather be with bards who think than with the men prance to places where the glasses clink, and there are games of chance ; a book is better than a drink, or than a tango dance. And when at dawn I leave my bed I caper and I sing, no hold-up with a bar or lead, has spoiled by larboard wing, I do not have to stitctt my head, or wear it in a sling.
