Representatives, ONLY ONE DOLLAR IS YOUR SHARE TO DAY—Many people, when : Jked to subscribe to <itch a public cause as the Red Cross, will make the objection that they are “sick and tired of the drives.” During the war, they say, there was one long procession of solicitors asking money for public causes, and snce the 'war, it has been about the same. e I'hese people should consider how ly little people do in a personal way for the bene fit of others. Our fathers and mothers who lived i country towns used constantly to go out to watch with sick people, sitting up all night after tiresome day’s labor. There were but few nurses then, and most of the labor of caring for the sick was done by this volunteer help. People lived cioser to the sufiering and the poor in those days, and when anvone needed assistance everyone knew It, and took hold to help. The spirit of hospitality was more prevalent in those times Familics would give a home for month aiter month and years to unfortunate relatives, freely supplying them with food and clothing. In country towns stlll people gather to the home of some sick man, and saw and split his woodpile or get in s crops. And they do these things gladly, and find pleasures in serving others And yet there are folks living in towns and cit ws who get grouchy because a few times a year some solicitor comes around for some charty, which tukes the place of all this intimate and personal zervice that people used to offer so freely. People in these times are giving less than the old timers used to. The trouble with many of us is that we are concentrating our thoughts on our own advancement and pleasure, <o that appeals for a kind and generous spirit may not find us ready to do our part, or to enjoy the satisfaction that is to be found in giving. The loeal subscriptions to the Red Cross have been very light, although the needs of the organ tzation may well be expected to be larger than in tormer years, excepting during the war period. But we must take care of the poor in these trying times and our people, who can afford it and most very on can afford to invest one dollar in a membership, should pay in their annual dues. Miss Irene Jones at the First National Bank will gladly receipt you for it WOULD YOU BURN UP YOUR MONEY,— If you had eleven one dollar bills just ready to put in vour pocket. would vou think of burning them? Certainly not. But that is just what many farm ers in the boll weevil infested district are domg They are burning cotton stalks worth from $8 to $l2 per acre. But they say these stalks are infes ‘ed with holl weevil which must he destroyed, but if your cleven dollar bills were infested with ver min would you burn the money in order to get rid of the vermin? No. You would find a way to get “id of the vermin without destroyving the money Bat farmers who are going to the expense of burn ing cotton stalks to destroy weevils, are really spending more money to burn more moncy represented by the fertilizer value of the stalks Many oractical farmers prefer to turn the stalks vnder in their effort to control the weevil Tt i< 1h enly way in which the full fertilizer value of the stalks can be saved and used and the weevil kept in check. Instead of burnine money to burn stalks, spend some tor.one or two more good two-horse breaking plows (i vou don't already have them). Then put or heavy chains and turn the cotton stalks under Keep adjustine until you are able to wrap them up head and ecars Save the money that might have been burned. —Progressive Farmer, THE KICK-OFF . \ C oN e L 2 \ - \ - Yy }( ¥y - < ARG e o B s Qt\ AV E U g%\ ’\\ \:: N = ‘_ ” {\\ é\fék \ N \-«.{_, sYB ; ™ & ,”_-l _t- .‘._“@ %{i (- 2, A ~," CC g @\ Y .

But in International relations, the governments have engaged in a game of grab in which the spir it of co-operation doces not exist, they have fre qaently volated the most solemn pledges. and they scttle their disputes by savage methods worthy of the 20th century before Christ, instead of the 20th century thereafter. What -an be done to persuade the nations that cood faith pave in public relations, as they are con-, inced it pays in private busiess? One thing is to make 1t clear that a nation that commits breach i faith will he ostracised from the circle of nations and will sulfer such a decline of prestige and rep vtation, that its losses will be more than its gains. in that way offending nations can be disciplned by other methods than by war. BLOWING IT ELSEWHERE—Ii the Govern ment plan for limitation of armament goes through the treasury watch dogs will have to look out that the moncy saved by a naval holiday is not wasted by extravagant expenditures in other directions. There is always a tendency, when the econom ists in cither national or local governments suc ced in saving money, for the spenders to devise new ways of using it up. So it might be in this case. o If the people are relieved from a part of the tre “aendous load now carried, by the Hughes plan of armament Imitation, they want the money used in reducing the taxes. They do not want it blown i for costly projects. Useful as many of these Adeas might begthe first and most essential prop osition now is to get the taxes down to the point where business will not he hampered by them. DEVELOPING WATER POWERS—The pass age of the Federal act of 1920 providing for devel opment of water powers, is encouraging many nl’{ the capitalists to go ahead on this class of projects. The number of applications for such developments for the past six months cquals the total of all ap plications for the preceding 15 years Every such a development means a lower cost for power now generated by coal or fuel: It enables many industrial districts to get along with little coal. Water powers never get tired and don't lay oft Investors should be encouraged to put mon ey into a kind of project that reduces costs for all tiat use 't, and the product of which must sell bet ter and better as the counry grows. LOWER FREIGHTS ON FARM PRODUCT— The 10 per cent reduction in carload freight rates for farm products, is the best news the farmer has beard for many a day. The population of this country spreads out over a vast area as the result of cheap freightage. Great farming ommunities have developed at a long distance from the popu latton centers, as the result of ability to transport ommodities for a long distance for a small ex pense, When dreight rates go up. it attacks the foun lation of the prosperity of the agricultural states and makes it impossible to deliver their product at L profit. The 10 per cent reduction of these food tuffs should result in an accelerated sale thereo! thus enabling the farmers to buy more seed and touls for another Spring and hire more labor, which st aceomplish general business revival THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE AND PRESS MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1921. ] Ever Catch a “Micropterus? | Tae black Liss urve of twe <pecleg— | the swsll-monty bivek biss and the ‘!arge-mmnh Dincy hass, writes Or.

'GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE Cure Said to Be Assured for the World’s Greatest Scourge, the Plague of Leprosy. The news from Hawaii indicates that science has at last found the sure and systemutic way to the cure of this world's most appalling disease. Of (i 142 former lepers wlio have been po roled frow the Kalibi lospital in the iast two years none has been seut buck. It is peculiar that the plague which has troubled the world at least sixty centuries, and probabty much longer, should eventually be controlled by one of the oldest remedies ever used for it. To modern science is due the dise covery eof the bacillus of leprosy, but ItB cure is accomplished with refined *hauimoogra oil, the essence of an In dian plum, which has been used by lepers in the Kast for centuries. Science has anproved on native prac tice not only in the oil but in its appli cation. To a world which has 3,000,000 lep ers the success of the doctors at Kalili is heartening. China, when bet~ ter days come, can set about the cure of her 2,000,000 stricken. India has 200,000 lepers, Japan 20,000. And the United States has had a big leper prob lem which the developments in Hawail should soon solve. While the cases of leprosy in the continental United States are few-—perhaps not 30@g—we have thousands of fepers in our island possessions, particularly the Philip. pines. Now that the way is clear our medical service can go ahead there as # has proceeded in Hawali, Damee o e Ink Spots. Fresh ink spots may be removed by sosking In milk.
