Tinker, in “Leslie’s” N ver cross Ihe tracks by night or day, W ithout stopping to listen and look each way. Never walk along the railroad ties— You can’t always trust your ears and eyes. Never hop a freight, for nothing quite The wound received under grinding wheels. Never, on a hot or sunny dav, Sit beneath a box car to rest or play. Never crawl under a car of freight, When the cressing’s blocked —play safe and wait. Never board, or alight from a train that is moving, Never play games ’round the tracks at the station. Never leave on the rail any spikes or bar, Because, in this way, you may wreck the cars. Never a railroad bridge should you cross, A train may come and result in your loss. Never pick up coal ’round the railroad yard. A train may catch you off your guard. WEALTH FROM CALAMITY Yes, Just that—wealth from cilamitv. The war in Europe is a calamity —a world calamity—but from it will come great wealth for the American farmer. He will reap the greatest benefit 0: all. When the war is over Europe w 11 awaken to the fact that it is d ? ititute of foodstuffs. Fields will be untilled except by e :d men, women and young boys, . a d the little produced by them j v> 1 supply but a fraction of the j d nand. t is then the American farmer j x 1 step- into the breech with his i 1 id reds of millions of dollars • v rth of farm products. 'he demand will be great and <*> p ies will be correspondingly high, a 1 the farmer will reap a golden 1? vest such as he has never known b /ore. And the farmer will spend libera j / in turn, and the merchant, and the professional man, and the mechanic, and all of the people, even unto the humble editor, will share in the newly accumulated wealth that is to come to us from across the seas. Tremendous crops are reported, the government estimating corn at

2,676,000,000 bushels, wheat at 892,000,000, oats at 1,137,000,000 barley at 197,000,000 bushels, and other crops in proportion. When the great Surplus of this crop is marketed in Europe at war prices it will pour so much wealth intp the pockets of the farmers that our country will be flooded with gold, and the liberality of the farmer in his own prosperity will radiate to all branches of trade. Patience is the watchword today, but tomorrow a different story will be told. And with patience we should combine enough common sense to keep us free from all entanglements in the present conflict. THE PREVALENCE OF COLDS • The fact that autumn is usually a season of colds among dwellers in our climate makes none the less annoying, auWKcases of neglect, even dangerous complaint. i It will accordingly not be amiss to offer a few words of council on the subject. Everybody ought to know how to avoid colds, but their pre- ■ valence proves the simplest precau- • tions are not understood or else are not practiced. Fallacy one about a cold is that! it should be kept heated. Fresh' air, fresh air and still more fresh air is the best preventative of colds. It is the sharp contrast between the stuffy air of overheated rooms, with their billions of flying ; dust spects and bacteria, and the cool outdoors that chiefly breeds ! colds. You may get a cold while breathing fresh air but it will not be the fresh air that causes it. It is not hunters and woodsmen who have colds most. Fallacy two is that you should “feed,” that is, gorge, a cold. Os course, you must eat. But don’t over-eat. And do be careful that the bodily secretions are not interrupted. If you must eat more than usual put the emphasis on frequently of pure water is a good medicine for cold—much better than whiskey. But the best cure is to be so careful with exercise, eating and ventilation that a cold will have nothing to do with you Walk more, open the windows more, drink more water, and religiously avoid all dope. THE KILL-JOY We Have discoursed at various times on diversified types of individuals but we have had one brought to our notice that heretofore had escaped our observation. We can think of no better appelation for him than that of the “KillJoy.” He is a dyed-in-the-wool grouch and proud of it. When companions propose a walk the Kill-Joy instantly decides, that sitting down would suit him better and if finally prevailed upon to walk he loudly voices his displeasure with the precedings during the entire trip. He seems to be of a nature not able to enjoy anything that his friends find amusing and his complaints are unceasing. For some unexplained reason the KillJoy is tolerated and never meets j the untimely end that is sometimes i wished him and his threatens to be with us always. WELCOME TO OUR RANKS The Leesburg Journal is the latest addition to the ranks of the country weeklies who have raised their subscription to $1.50 per year. We congratulate Bro. Gibbard on his foresightedness. KINDRED TROUBLES Women Will soon have troubles kindred to their male consorts. By that we mean if corsets continue to grow longer the gentle sex will also have a garment that bothers by bagging at the knees. Thousands of Europeans who contemplated coming to this land of

the free have been “through routed” to another country which is equally free, and from which no traveler has ever yet returned. ================ Some Women argue about the way a craw-fish walks, but it is unwise to tell them so.

Thousands All Over Country Responding to “S O S” Wireless Sent Out by Churches GO TO CHURCH! |. • Think for one minute what this world would be without churches. Are you doing your part to support them by your attendance? In recent years there had been a surprising falling off in church attendance figures. People stayed away from church—some because they had lost faith, but the great number simply because thev had become apathetic. It was time that this apathy ceased. And it has to a large extent. M ith the advent ol the GO TO CHURCH movement there has been a splendid awakening all over the country.- Religion had only been dormant. The GO TO CHURCH call found a ready response. New churches have sprung up in many quarters. Ihe old churches, which for some time past were remarkable for their empty pews, suddenly took on new life. The pews were filled. Men and women who had not been to church in a decade came back to the fold. They brought with them others. THE CHURCHES SENT OUT A “S O S” WIRELESS. NEWSPAPERS HELPED. SO DID THE TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANIES. SO DID THE TRADESMEN. NOVEL IDEAS FOR WORKING UP ENTHUSIASM WERE PLENTIFUL. IN CHICAGO, FOR INSTANCE, FIFTY BARBERS IN SHOPS ON THE WEST SIDE WERE ENLISTED. THE PLAN OF INTERESTING THEM WAS HIT UPON BY A CLERGYMAN WHILE UNDERGOING A RAZOR OPERATION. HE ASKED THE BARBER TO REFER TO THE GO TO CHURCH MOVEMENT WHILE SHAVING HIS CUSTOMERS, AND THE ARTIST OF THE STROP CONSENTED. SHOP AFTER SHOP WAS VISITED UNTIL FIFTY AGREED TO SPEAK ABOUT THE MOVEMENT. THE PLAN WORKED WONDERFUL RESULTS. ALL THAT THE PEOPLE WANTED WAS A REMINDER. THE STORY OF CHICAGO IS THE STORY OF HUNDREDS OF OTHER PLACES. EVERYBODY HELPED THE THING ALONG. DO YOUR PART. GO TO CHUKCHI Keep GOING TO CHURCH!
