If every man and Woman in this county would start out tomorrow, determined to start something, hard times in this section would disappear in a week or two. It is a simple matter. Hard times are caused usually by 9 shortage of work, which brings on a shortage of money. At the first alarm everybody takes a death grip on what money he has, and he hangs'on until the eagle screams, the Indian yells,the goddess of Liberty faints, the buffalo grunts and Lincoln dies of suffocation. . Nobody buys anything that is not absolutely necessary. Needed improvements are not made. Debts remain unpaid. The whole community marks time. Suppose all of us started out, right now, to change all this. Suppose we decided to buy the things we have been doing without and ' pay cash for them? Suppose we looked around, picked out the things that needed repair, called in the workmen, set them at their tasks and paid them their wages on the spot? Remember not only you would be doing this, but the other fellows as well. He would be buying from you or hiring you — the money jou spend would come back to you somehow. It always does when everyone is working. That’s what makes good times. We do not claim to know all about ecobut we feel sure that if we all put our shoulders to the wheel the so-called hard times will become pretty soft. It’s worth trying. Have a look around your place and see if you can’t find a job for some man to do. Put him to work ,pnd pay him. He will spend the money with the merchants. The merchants will keep it in circulation and in time it will return to it’s original source to you. - ■■ - . . ’ NOTHING TO IT Just After we finished running oft the paper last week a cheerful party remarked “Well, the paper is out. You can take it easy for a few days, Can’t you?” Yep. Nothing at all to do. Ab-so-LOOT-ly nothing. Once the paper is printed

all any editor has to do is to sit around watching the little bills come due, and gently shaking his money bush until enough dollars drop off to pay those, these or them bills. When the editor is not running off the paper his favorite pastime is to recline on a divan, smoking a fine full-flavored El Verso cigar, and watching the subscribers struggling with each other to get on his list and pay the furthest in advance. If he becomes ongwayed, he puts out his cigar, slips it in his pocket and saunteis nonchalantly down the boulevard de Main, just to hear the merchants clamor for additional space as with tears in their eyes they dog his footsteps. And the way the news hunts up the editor is pleasant To contemplate. When the paper is out the editor goes to his leans back in his chair looks wise and waits till the day before next press day,when the people line up in front of his office and then file past his desk and tell him all the news of the week. He writes it up in fifteen or twenty minutes and hangs it on the hook. The compositors shake the copy over the cases, says a few mystic words and* the type flies into place and after a few passes by the foreman the forms are ready for the press again and the editor goes down and deposits some money in the bank. It’s the greatest snap in the catalogue. Now if the editor could only do away with press days his joy would be complete. NURSING HARD TIMES A Farmer of some standing entered the establishment of a merchant to whom he oweb S4O. Pressed for payment of the debt, he reached down into his pocket, brought forth a healthy roll of banknotes with quite a number of gold notes as the centre, peeled off a $lO gold note and paid it to the merchant on account. That was all. The debtor gave no indication thah he had immediate use for the rest of the roll of currency. He simply declined to meet his full indebtedness. If several million debtors, with ready money in their pockets refuse to meet their obligations, refuse to pay for goods that come into their possession, not with any idea of repudiating their debt, but simply in response to some undefined and unorganized impression that more important use for the money may develop, things will not open up in a business way, and particularly in a financial way, for some time to come. The most useless money in the world is money stowed in the pocket or hoarded in some othre way. It ceases for a time to be currency. Currency moves. In its moving, it keeps other things moving. It is the same as to other influences to progress and activity. If certain things must be done sooner or later, the sooner they are done, if facailities are at hand, the better it will be later. NICE EDITION The Avilla News printed a very handsome sixteen page edition last week. It was an Avilla boosting edition and was a credit both to the community and to the publisher. M. E.

OPPOSITION TO PAVING \ SHOWN AT PUBLIC HEARING, TUESDAY NIGHT About twenty attended the meeting of the town board, Tuesday night, when the paving matter was given a Rearing. Several were opposed claiming the expense was too great. The specifications furnished by Rossback & McKee were approved of by the board and the paving will probably proceed unless a remonstrance is presented within ten days signed by a majority of the property owners. It is not thought prbable that enough signers can be secured to stop the matter. 196 Mile Drive “Pete” Harkless started from Syracuse with the Rothenberger Auto Ambulance Tuesday morning at 2:30, stopping at North Webster, from which place he took the body of Mrs. Mary Williams fifteen miles south of Redkey, Ind., where the funeral was conducted by Ila Rothenberger. “Pete” arrived home at 10:30 p. m., having made the round trip of 196 miles in one day.

YOU CAN’T BEAT ’EM. ' Or the Winning Ways of a Wishful, Winsome Wife. “What a beautiful hat and coat!” she cried as soon as he came home that afternoon. “Isn't it—l mean, aren't they?” he said proudly. “Bargains too. The overcoat was sl6, reduced from something, and the hat was $4, but they’re going to raise the price next week.” His young wife crowed with delight. “Herman, you look stunning:” she exclaimed. “Let me put them on, to give you some slight idea of the general effect. You can never tell on yourself, you know.” And she put them on. The coat was a nobby plaid Balmacaan. and the hatwas a nile green felt, very swagger. “By Jove, Cecile,” he cried, “if I look half that good in ’em I’m satisfied I” She walked to the pier glass. “You look very fine in them, dear,” she said hesitatingly, “but—truth compels me to say they’re more than twice as becoming on me. You know, tqe women are wearing men’s hats and coats this winter. Don’t you think you could get yourself another outfit tomorrow—something in colors a little more becoming to you, perhnpa»v We have fried chicken and waffles for dinner, just the way you like them.” And —but what’s the use? —Detroit Free Press. It Sometimes Happens. He dragged his shotgun Through the fence, muzzle first. But the gun didn’t catch And the shell didn’t burst, And his wife through the gloaming In tears did not wait, And she doesn’t wear black And no crape’s on the gate. —Houston Post | Custom House Humor. A missionary was returnrhg to Basel from Patagonia, bringing with him for the purposes of science a collection of Patagonian skulls. The custom house officers opened the chest and informed the owner that the consignment must be classed as animal bones and taxed, at so much the pound. The missionary was indignant. So the officials agreed to reconsider. When the way bill had been revised It appeared in the following form: “Chest of native skulls. Personal effects, already’worn.’’—New York Post.

George Washington Jones George Washington Jones was born March 5, 1853 in Kosciusko County, Ind., near Syracuse. He depaited this life March 25 1915. aged 62 years and 20 days. He was married in 1878 to Mary-Jane Hughes, of near Lect-b ”g, Ind. To this union were born lour children, three of whom preceded hfm in death. Nineteen years ago he became a member of the United Brethren Church and evf.’ proved faithful and consistent Christian.*’’ His fife was an examplary one, as friends and neighbors everywhere will testify. His lot was not always cast in pleasant places, for he, with his good companion have endured much affliction in the home during ' all of their walk together, but i neither was ever herd .to complain, but accepted it all as Gods will. They have reared two orphan | children and many are the exi pressions of gratitude from friends and neighbors who .have experienced their help in times pi sick- : ness and trouble for it wg> a great ; pleasure to both of them to render 1 aid and sympathy. The deceased ■ engaged in farming until seven years ago when he retired from active labor and moved to Syra- ' cuse. His health began failing two i years ago and in February 1914, i the physicians pronounced him a I sufferer of bronchial tuberculosis. From that time he gradually failed, being able to be about, however until two or three months previous to the end. He was a very patient sufferer, and was wholly recon- ! ciled to God’s all wise providence. He expressed himself many times lof being ready and only patiently i waiting to make the short step from time into the great unknown. He leaves a wife, one son, Emeral, three.brothers, one sister, and other relatives.
