THE INDEPENDENT January 8, 1925. I BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR TODAY—I a Bible Thoughts memorized, will prove a priceless heritage in after years. f | THOl' HAST A MIGHTY ARM—strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne; mercy and truth shall go before thy face. —Psalm 89:13, 14. EDITORIAL FRIENDS. • Friendship —the jewel beyond price, yet may be purchased with a single act ot thoughtfulnss. There is no element in life that can contribute so much to brighten the pathway or ease the burdens and sorrows of life as real friendships. When the true friend comes to you in your hour of trouble, lays the j kind and sympathetic hand on your shoulder and says, “I am sorry, can I help you?” it means much, and the unsolicited and timely deeds done with a willing heart, dispels thu . gloom that overshadows you. It gives you courage to take up the lines of your daily duty and a i new resolve finds lodgeinnt in your heart to look at the future calmly and with a steady and firm purpose to forge ahead. The being is to be pitied who lives self contained and spurns the need of friends. The candle loses nothing of Its light by lighting another candle. We do not lose, but increase our capacity for friendship by being friendly. Thus, a$ we pass through life let [ us use the opportunities that may come to us to be a real friend. The best securities to own are the bonds of friendship. "We shall pass through this ’ world but once; if therefore, there j will be any kindness we can shew or any good thing we can do to our 1 fellow being let us do It now; lot us not defer nor neglect it. for we , shall not pass this way again.” THE CHAU,EXGE TO ALL A worse menace than that for which we went to war now confronts I us at home— Indifference to law. the dalb making of thieves and murderers. । the breaking down of our social structure, license not liberty. Indul- • gence not ceremony, carelessness not security. Millions were subscribed by our t business men to win the war Txvng , hours at work were given with । SI.OO a year as the sole monetary reward for the most Intense service. । Rut we are now menaced at home, and a like devotion and a like labor ' are needed if life is to be at all worth while. The law of the jungle id replacing the iaws of sanity and | reason. The health, the morals, the , very life and liberty of all are at stake. Real patriotism is sincere service j for the good of our country, which means service to fellow citizens more than to ourselves. Every man and woman of influence in this coun'try. for sheer safety’s sake, must enlist their greatest efforts to up- , hold the law and solve the vexing j problem. i •* ——— HEALTH. I There is too much ill health, too 1 much catching of everything, in-j eluding the iagrippe. that Jiappena along. Not a deciple Pl the spiritu-1 । list or even the cult, ‘‘better and, better” we are. however, a firm be- | liever of not lying down in the road and letting the stylish or prevalent vehicle of disease run over us. , There are simple rules to follow. ( Have a clean conscience and ope/T bowels. Take a bath at least twice a week, whether you need it or not. Let a little fresh air in the house Do the Daily Dozen exercises every ; morning. Don’t worry and remem- j her your .stomach needs about as nitrch care as the furnace. When the latter is clogged up. you have gas, clinkers, sot and no heat. In such a case what do you do? Poke it. shake i it up, stir it up, just physical. Did you ever stop to fhiuk that your stomach and bowels need poking, shaking up. get out •the clinkers, “grip” and' several more of these relations? Don’t be so darn- pfrvsieatJy lazy and don’t go gunning for “grip”, you might hit it. LINK IX THE MMHrV CIRCLE. As an entertainment and educational device, the radio is far surpassing motion picture theatres, dance halls or any other form of | public amusement.

— . . A new horizon has been opened up by radio to millions of families living in the country, the town or the bi£ city, a new means of culture The world in its larger centers is offering programs of good entertainment and instruction to people in their homes both by day and night, the new marvel drawing families together. Young and old. instt ad of wandering idly in search of diversion, can hear an orchestra, a band, a pipe organ, a religious service or a good play, in their own home, be it in a city, on a farm, or miles away in mountains or desert. There are lectures for the serious minded all the way from literature to electricity and siwclalists give the latest ideas in dress, dancing, gardening or the various fields of scientific progress. As broadcasting stations are enlarged to give better service ovei wider areas, radio will give still greater service to the nation. INFAIH TO PUBLIC Radical labor leaders will make another drive to pass the HowellBarkley railway labor bill, abolish- , ing the railroad labor board. It is doubtful it this bill to abolish the present railway labor board, on which the public, the railroads and labor are represented, can be passed. The bill would simply eliminate the public from a voice in railroad । wage questions which would be left entirely in hands of railroad operators and labor leaders. So long as the public retains tne right to regulate rates, it should also have a hearing in wage questions as it pays the bill. Most of our Uis are balanced by our blessings. It is tough to get up I before daylight but it is great to go home before dark. Make resolutions today and keep t them for each today that follows in | 1925. -Punchettes- —. Fools used to blow out the gas. Now they step on it. It’s about time for the "First j Robin" liar to speak up. Now that Winter has arrived In earnest, the fair out - will start buy- I ing straw hats. I Driving in the heavy snow that fell last Thursday made some cars look like cross road puzzles. It has been figured out that a garden plot, approximately 4 0 fe. t square, will furnish ample exerclac for one family, time cats, an Airdale. and 21 strange chickens. j ■ , Ah. Yri?

Who Was Ahot and Who Was Not 7 A duel’ was lately fbughr by Alexander Shott and' John S. Nott. Nott was shot and Shott was not In this case R was better to be Shott than Nott. There was a rumor that Nott was nut shot, but SThott avows that he was not. which proves, either that the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot, or that Nott, was shot not- * withstanding - . | It may be arade to appear on trial that the shot Shott shot shot Nott. ! or, as accidents with firearms, it may be possible that the shot Shott [ shot shot Shott himself when the I whole affair would resolve itself in•to its original element, and Shott J would be shot and Nott would be 1 not.

hit ine ( Comedy Answer To Eternal Riddle a The Divine Comedy, by the Italian ! poet, Dante, which is showing at the .Oliver, is composed of three separate allegories known us "Inferno,” i , ‘Purgatory." and "Paradise,” and is said to have embodied no single j moral or theme. One commentator on Dante describes it as "a supreme j effort to epitomize the entire ga- i mut of human experience.” It is the effort of one who is conceded to be among the six greatest thinkers of all time to crystallize for his fellow j ; men his own answer to the Eternal Riddle—What of the Hereafter? Os Dante’s motive in writing the j Divine Comedy. Charles E. Norton j says: "The Divine Comedy had its ( source in his sense of the wretchedness of man in this mortal life, ow ing to the false direction of fits desires, through his ignorance and his misuse of his free will, the chief gift, of Cod to’ him. The only means of rescue from this wretchedness was the exe-refse by man of his reason. enlightened by the divine grace in the guidance of his life. To convince man of this truth, to bring home to his conviction of the eternal consequence of his conduct in hfs world, to show him the path of salvation was Dante’s afm.” — • The allegory “Inferno” is the ' basis for the extraordinary motion picture. The picture ^vntafns many elaborate and massive settings in j which thousands of Tiereons were j used. ; i Toegther with the above feature is also shown "Why Hurry,” a Christie Comedy, featuring Jimmy * Adams, a Earl Hurd cartoon and the latest Fox News reel. ‘j MARRIAGES
