HERE’S THE DIFFERENCE. We are rather modest in “tooting our own horn” but when another toots for us we do not mind telling it to our many friends. The weekly rural newspaper has always com lea for its full share of criticism and redicule and has been the subject for jest even among its best supporters for all times. But here comes a new thought to us tn the form of our editorial from the Beaumont Leader which wr think has much truth in it and which if seriously considered, will put the

occupy. Let it be remembered that the City Daily and the rural weekly papers are not competitors in News making. We each serve our place and our community. We quote from the Beaumont leader as follows: “Turning from the city newspapers to the rural exchanges which come to our desk is like stepping from the slums full of vile odors into an old-fashioned garden sweet w*lth honeysuckle and the scent of perennial flowers. The pages of the big dailies are so full of murders, thievery, immorality, the breaking up of homes by infidelity and selfishness, that the better news is obscured. One puts the paper aside with a feeling of depression and heartache that the world is su full of such terrible and unhappy things. Then, picking up the papers that record the happenings of the small towns around us, one gains renewed faith in life. Here are set forth only that which uplifts a community—the activities of the business men, the church news, the civic good accompolished by the women, school items, the happy social gatherings of the people,the marriages, births and deaths, farmer’s items and all the thousand and one daily occurrences that make up the simple annals of the great common people, who are really

—- -x uroad country of ours. Scandals are seldom published in the country newspapers, but if itso happens that decency demands it, the uglier details are omitted, or are given a kindly touch that is widely different from the unfeeling publicity of the city press. No wonder. The offenders may be our neighbors, or people we have rubbed elbows with all our lives. They are really human beings, while to the great city dailies they are merely grains of a sort that are ground out hourly in their news mill.’’ HOME-KEEPING YOUTH The French have no word in their language for home. Y’et they are a home-loving people and their pretty adjective, “casanier” indicates something for which “home-keeping” Is but a equivalent. Also a beautiful line in one oftheir poems “to be bom, to live and. to die in the same house,’ 1 suggests a simple biography that would be rarely applicable in tn* United States today. Are there any home-keeping youth in America today? There are turbid wits, cynical wits, futile wits, vicious wits enough. If there are homeiy wits, it is because heaven made them so, and not the habit of staying a« home. Even five years ago there was roving in abundance. But the vast and tempestous movement of tht» war has unsettled the whole community. Youth has forgotten not only home but even any continuous abiding place. The truth is that our young people need to learn that mere change is no remedy for the ills of life. The essence of discontentment is a too keen sense of the evils of the present. To the constitutionally discontented anywhere seems better than here. Eager, impatient, restless, they mistake what is different for what is better and do not realize that trial and suffering are not confined to one corner of the world but are distributed all over it with a large and impartial liberality. Try to remember that the charm of old associates, friendships, habits may be sorely missed and cannot be replaced. Happiness and success, in any sense that counts, lie within and not without. For life really depends upon yourself and not upon youi surroundings. You can live it usefully and profitably among old friends and neighbors. Why not try?—Youth’s Companion. WHERE ARE YOU GOING? , In the Saturday issue of South Bend’s daily papers we noticed an ' advertisement carried by the churches of South Bend and Mishawaka which will make a forceful appeal to every thinking father and mother who reads it. We quote the advertisement: “That boy of yours js trying to

walk in his father's footsteps. He often asks himself this question: “Why should I go to church or Sunday school while Dad stays home, or takes the auto out or plays golf?” j You want that boy to be honest, ' truthful and fair. Where can he learn these virtues better than in Sunday school and church? Take Him To Church. Lessons learned in youth will I never leave him. Give him the best possible moral foundation. He will go to church most willingly if ■ you go also. “Train up a child in the way he should go, but don’t forget to go that way yourself.” Josh Billings. The 12-hour day, says Mr. Gary, is I absolutely essential to the steel In I dustry. Likewise, the conservation of men is absolutely essential to this nation. It is said that the “man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client,” and this may be true of the person who tries to he his own banker. i Reports concerning those 150 deserted wives of the former sulta« show that few of them have foun* new parking places. Ambassador George Harvey says he is only a messenger boy. However, that’s no alibi for his wearing short trousers. You would please God? Then [ please His children,your fellow mortals, especially those whose pleasures are few. Some people can't take anything unless they take it seriously. To do your work successfully, cultivate light, not heat, Sometimes any decision is better than no decision. — Punchettes — Try This on Dad. The first two numbers of our new auto license added make thirteen an’ the first and last number make thirteen an' the second, third and fourth numerals added make thirteen, add all the numbers and divide by two, | that gives you thirteen too!

Dear little Maudie awoke about two o’clock the other morning and ; asked mamma to tel! her a fairy tale. : “It’s too late darling.” mamma re- ’ plied “Daddy will be in shortly, and i he'll tell us both one.” Studio Stuff “I see all the movie stars are going to Europe.” “Only Ben Turpin, I guess.

Weather Forecast. The weather during the next two weeks will be exactly like many subscriptions to this paper—“ Unsettled.” Tu South Bend, Maybe. “Johnny,” said the teacher, “if coal is selling at sl4 a ton and you pay the dealer $65, how many tons will he bring you?” “A little over three tons, ma'am,” said Johnny. - “Why, Johnny, that’s not right,” said the teacher. “No ma’m, I know it ain’t right,” said Johnny, “but they all do it.” — Read!! A Sad Story. She stood knee deep in snow. Tears dimmed her beautiful eyes. With cold numbed fingers she fumbled at the catch on her handbag. The quick eye of John Courtly seeing her distress showed him his duty With a look of pity, tenderness and understanding he approached and inquired politely: "Is there any thing I can ao for you , Miss?” “Oh, thank you, sir—my fingers are so cold. Will you powder my nose?” A Soft Answer. Mother and child were doing well and Doc Geyer who has been celebrating the event was allowed for the first time to see his new offspring. Father (tearfully)—“The little rascal! He’s got my eyes, my nose, and my mouth.” Mother—" Well thank goodness, he has’nt got your breath.” —Bill Armstrong in News Times.
