Armistice Day Friday.
)
A man without a character is
better off without education—Wii !
Hum J. Bryan.
The revised revenue measure is!
all right provided it revises down
ward.
Tom Watson abhors a dull time,
so he’s in his glory now that he
his stirred up a racket over the
world war veterans.
Now comes Germany and says
that she wants disarmament, and
that it’s wrong to fight. llow new
and strange it seems!
What would it be worth to ev
ery business man to truthfully ad
vertise to the world that his town
was the cleanest town in the
country.
Next Week is clean-up week in
LaFayette. A clean town is an ad
vertisement that [>ays iit better!
health, better impression upon |
outsiders and better town and in- !
dividual self-respect.
The chronic kicker is often ex
cused ju the ground that he has
a different idea about the propo
sition. when as a matter of fact,
he has no idea about it at all—just
pure littleness and contrariness.
The President has urged upon
the churches of the country to
pray for the armament confer
ence, which begins Saturday. It’s
going to take a lot of praying j/tf
•offset that $25,000 worth of whis
ky brought to this country by the
embassies, to be drunk during the
conference. We as a nation haven’t
gained very much respect of na
tions when they do not regard our
national laws.
EXPRESS THAT IDEA
It is a great tiling to feel that
one is a part of a great construct
ive program or movement. It is a
greater tiling to submerge one's
personal interests for the good of
the whole and work side by side
"itli his fellows for the accomplish
mont of good, for individuals, for
one's town, for one's community,
for one's county.
Co-operation does not destroy in J
dividual initiative, nor does it seek
to cramp tin* ideas of a freeborn
citizen, but cooperation n the oth
er h» | I encourages the individual
ideas of all concerned and puts a j
premium upon the best individual
idea in a given movement for tin
good of the community, lit true I
co-operation there is a time for ex 1
pression of individual ideas, tws#
then there is the time to eo-ordiu
at (lie individual ideas into one
great workng idea into which ev
ery ndividual idea may enter.
The statement that the world i
nwaiting for the man with an idea
and will listen to him, is true. It
is also true that co-operation o
waiting for indivdual dens, a
better plan. If yon have an id mi
for the benefit of your town or
■community, express it, and then
be willing to co-operate with an
other's idea if it seems a workable
one. and one which will ser' e your
community’s interest better.
ARMISTICE DAY
The people of this great land
of ours will celebrate Armistice
day Friday. The President has is
sued a proclamation making it a
legal holiday.
At least two benefits should
come from the proper celebration
of the day—one is that we should
celebrate the day in honor and
memory of the heroes who saved
tis and who helped save the world
from the tyranny of military des-
Ipotism. The other benefit from the
day we should gain is that it is a
.day when we may take a little
time to renew our faith in ourgov-
Crnment and in the principles upon
which it is founded; a time when
' we may appreciate a little more of
l what it means to be an American
citizen and to live in a free coun
try; a time when we may examine
ourselves and find out in what way
we may be better citizens in our
community, in our state, in our
i nation.
Let us improve the opportunities
•of the Day.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN ADVER
TISING
A citizen of this community
takes a trip down in the state, out
West, up east, and while on his
trip he stops off at a small town
for a day or two. lie returns home
and in relating to his friends and
companions the things of interest
'on his trip, he grows enthusastic
over a small town. He will tell you
it is beautifully layed off, nice
wide streets, plenty of lovely
shade trees and ‘‘it is one of the
CLEANEST little towns I ever
♦mw,” he will say. How often have
•we heard that statement when a
friend returns to his home town
after a visit away?
The big thing that struck him
was the cleanliness of the town. A
| clean town is one of the very best
| advertisements possible, because
H town whose back alleys, back
and front yards, streets, sidewalks
etc., are clean, at once makes the
impression that the church and
School life of the town is strong,
that the citizens are people of
clean speech and habits and that
the people of the town are con
structive and progressive in their .
thinking and acting.
Next week has been set aside by
the Mayor and City Council of
LaFayette as clean-up week. The
Women’s Club offers its co-oper
ation for a cleaner town. Let us
all catch the spirit and clean up.
It is worth while from every stand
point. 1
Eighty thousand Americans lost
their lives or were permanently
'disabled during the world war,
according to statistics. That was
'far too many to sacrifice on the
altar of Mars, but listen: 180,000
Americans during that same per
iod lost their lives on the altar of
cancer. Something to think about,
especially when the expuds say
ibis mniady can be prevented.

Some day men will lie selected

Statistics show that there is no

not be double wliat they are today.
We wrongly lake it for granted that
when a person reaches a certain

do not cooperate to help the other

would naturally come to us. That
is what Jesus had in mind when he
urged the people to give and serve,
promising that such giving and
serving should be returned to them
a hundred fold or more. Jesus nev
er preached unselfishness or talked
sacrifice as such, but only urged His
hearers to look through to the end
set what the final result would be
anil do what would be best for them
in the long run. Jesus urged Hi*
followers to consider the spiritual
