Hard Times Overtalked
I "Hard times has been talked so much that is has
Jost a great deal of its drawing power. However,
trupe the fact that hard times have been experienced
in the past several months, people are growing wea
ry of hearing it and are beginning to brighten up a
bit in their outlook for the future. Talking good
times may not have the results that is sometimes
elaimed for it, but it does have a meritorious in
fluence in getting people to take advantage of op
portunities that come their way and in great meas
wres affects the times. Stop comparing, or contrast
ing present conditions with war time conditious.‘
Consider back a little further to normal times and
youn will not be so pessimistic about affairs. If you’- ‘
ve got good health, stop kicking backward and try |
a step forward. |
] Rewards Bring Action
A half a dozen men have been arrested and held ‘
as sxi’spects in the Atlanta murder case. If some
one would offer a thousand dollars for the appro-‘
hension of a bootlegger, the jail could not accomo-f
date all of them. |

Seneators Reed, LaFollettee and the
t It’s According to How Much
The same court recently in a certain city gave a
sentence of ten years to a person who was found
'quilty of raising a one- dollar bill to ten doliars,
thereby stealing nine dollars, and gave a sentence
‘of only a year and a day to an official for stealing
lthéfn thousand dollars from the city. At this same
ratio, a person swiping ten million dellars would
be given a bill of ciean character and congratulated
xfm' his ingenuity.
‘ " Basket-Ball :
! This city has as husky and clever a’bunch of boy
:and girl basket ball players as can be found in any
city of similar size, we believe, throughout the Uni
ted States. The season -just opening promises to
be one of the most interesting and brilliant ever
witnessed here.
‘ The people of the city and community failed to
do their full dauty by the wonderful football team
:of the boys’ highfschool this fall and it is certainly
to be hoped that the same will not be permitted to be
i’said of their support of all three of the basket-ball
teams. )
Clean athletics are, perhaps, the most wholesome
things boys and girls, or men or women for that
matter, can indulge in. To see e group of husky,
clean limbed youth move like panthers and grey
hounds over the floor with almost inexhaustable
endurance and then see the girls’ team serimmage
'with them in practice on practically even terms,
proving themselves almost equally fast, strong and
lof men for the near future when disease is an un
long winded, is an epoch marking occasion in the on
ward march of the human race and builds visions of
a race of men for the future when disease is an un
know nevil and there is the most perfeet harmony
of form and funetion—mind and body.
Too great stress con not be laid upon these things
and it might be finally said that people arise as a
rule, only to thuse‘-‘heigh’ts or fall to those depths
where the expectatibns of their home people place
them. Tlt, then, behooves the people of the city to
expect the most of these boys and girls and let
them know i{f by supporting them to the fullest
possible extent in their activities along these lines.
True Christmas Spirit
Let the heart be truly glad and cheerful at this
Christmas season. Forget the petty annoyances
that have fretted you during the past vear. Forget
not that it is a sacred day, but that the heart should
be full of gladness and joy.

ihopes for beter' conditions for the
farmers. This department is in a po
'sition to carefully analyze the affairs
'of agriculture, and when it talks
about the better times that should
jcome “from now on’ the message
;should be considered as presaging in
'some degree, at least the improve-
Iment of unsttled conditions in ag

] The most formidable political group
‘there has been in the Capitol within
'a generation is made up of the “agri
cuitural bloc” of the Senate and the
House. This non-partisan group on
ly takes the position that agricul
ture is the most important industry
in the country and that it should be
considered first in matters of legis
lation. A program of legislation is
gradually being agreed upon, and
while nothing in this program will
seek in any way to interfere with the
regular channels of legislative busi
ness, the word has gone out, and ev
ery one understands, that agriculture
and its interests must come first.
Even the Republican program in re
‘gard to the tax bill, had to suffer de

‘ammending it according to what it
‘believed to be “first interests” of ‘the
