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. I GREATEST UNDEVELOPED uesoi iu.es we possess lt> Holier W. Ilalison, (lie World's Greatest Statistician.

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 ithings rather than the temporal: ; but not in the spirit of sacrifice.
