“But take heed lest by any means-ibis liberty of
yours become a stumbling block to them that are
veA.*-—First Corinthians 8:9.
The matter of high prices is very much like the weather
concerning which Mark Twain said: “Everybody talks about
j| but no one does anything about it.” The fellow who com
plains about the price of butter and beefsteak resorts to
every device and every force at his command to get more for
each hour of work until many are frank to admit they are
getting more than they earn or are worth. Under our scheme
cf living every time wages are raised prices of goods go up.
Hie man who buys them must have more money or he can’t
buy them. It is like a dog trying to catch his tail. The fast-
er the dog runs, the faster his tail moves. Somebody some
!*»«» along the line is going to have to slow down the spiral.
Use big question no one seems able to answer is who is going
«Rdoit?

Two Minute Sermon
By THOMAS HA8TWELL
--- • - .
tAb qualities or a Chris-
tian: I am a great believer in
the religion of every day living.
■ I don’t believe very much ip the
theory held by some that it ia nec-
essary to look up an individual’s
record to find what church books
he has his name on to really dis-
cover if he is s Christian. I think
every Christian should be identi-
fied with some chnrch, but I would
rather accept the record of his daily
life than the statement of the sec-
retary of any organization that he
was a member in good standing
I think the extent^ the true extent,
of an individual’s Christianity is
revealed in his life and his conduct
and in the manner in which he
treats those with whom he comes
in contact. I think if an individ-
ual is a Christian! he is honest, in-
dustrious, temperate, generous
kindly. He keeps his grouches to
himself, rather than inflicting them
on others through a mean and a
sharp tongue. I think that' he con'
ducts himself so that Others enjoy
having him around and miss him
when he leaves. T think the very
presence of a Christian is helpful
cheering, satisfying, adding to
one’s courage and faith. It uplifts
rather than depresses, it causes
one to feel in his heart that it is
good to be with suck a soul. Such
a one in my thinking has the qual-
ities of a Christian.

What We Think -
By FRANK DIXON
The recent election brought again
to attention of everyone the fact
that there are not enough people
in thfcr cnnnrty- going to the polls
to vote. Thp staylFhtrme perrien ■
of those qualified to vote ia eltonot |
as large as those who get out t»
vote.
This represents a greater danger
than moat people realize. The
danger lies in the fact that oun
is a democratic form of govern-
ment in which the leaders and of-
ficials are chosen by the vote of the
people.
In one of the recent presidential
elections but 62 per cent of the
qualified voters took the trouble
to go to the polls and vote. In
that particular election a minority
party, hostile to our form of gov-
ernment, coul(l have elected its can-
didate with a vote totaling leas
than one third of the eligible vot-
ers of the country.

This fact should serve to disturb
even the most Indifferent, especial-
ly at a time when everyone knows
that every effort possible is being
made by the Communists and their
fellow travelers to overthrow this
government. They are watching
every opportunity and resorting to
every trick and scheme possible to
deceive the voters in the hope that
they may be able to get a foothold
in this country. Once they succeed
we are going to discover that it will
be extremely difficult to dislodge
them.
No end of effort has been put
forth by the press, by public speak-
ers, by the pulpit and by the radio
to urge upon the citizens of the
land the necessity, the very urgent
necessity, of voting. So far it has
seemed to produce but scant re-
sults. About the only time some
citizens vote it seems, is when they
want to beat some local candidate
in favor of another, not because
he is an inferior citizen of official
but because af political partisan-
ship purely, or because of personal
reasons. This is patriotim, as ex-
pressed by the ballot, in its lowest
form. Those who are inspired to
vote for these reasons only, are
not assuming any measure of re-
ponsibility for their country, they
are not inspired by patriotic or loy-
al motives. They may not even
have an intelligent concept of what
responsibility and loyalty to our
form of government means .
I have come to the conclusion
that there is nothing to be gained
in talking to the admits of the coun-
try. Whatever relief or progress
we make in this field is going to
come through the children. The
adults like to tell the children
what they should do but rarely is
it possible to teach an adult even
concerning the vital matter of his
country’s welfare.
In my opinion, if we ever correct
this growing fault and indiffer-
ence and escape the threat that
the indifference carries we are go-
ing to have to put into our schools
a course that will impress upon
the young people the importance
and the necessity and the impera-
tive need of every one to vote at
every election.
I think the course should run
throughout the grade and hign
school year. It should be given
equal consideration with arithmetic
and grammar. We must see to it
that the coming generation is bet-
ter than our own, and has a more
sensitive concept of its obligation
to the past, and its responsibility
to the future. If we fail we are
going to lose something out of our
way of life in this country that
once lost cannot be recovered.

Household Hints
Cook fruits in small amount of
boiling water, tightly covered. Add
sugar last (Takes less sugar).
Rinse dried fruits, put in cold wat-
er, cover tightly, and cook slow-
ly. No sugar needed.
If fruits are soaked, cook in same
water. (Soaking unnecessary for
tenderized fruits).
To separate lettuce, remove core.
Then let cold water from faucet
flow into head nntil pressure forces
leaves apart.

and another 20,000,000 have the
benefit of some sort of commercial
coverage.
