PROTECT F R E E P B E 8 8

q^HEY SAY eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. This Is

absolutely true, and It appllea to the freedom of the press, that glori-ous principle on which American welfare and progrewi depend. Our country will go ahead and be hap-py and prosperous as long aa It has free newspapers. They provide the forum In which our people meet and discuss their Interests.

In that forum mistakes of govern-ment can be pointed out so long as freedom of speech exists. People who have good Ideas can state them In the newspaper forum, nnd when such wise suggestions are offered they win the support of the public. When that support Is ob-tained through this medium of press freedom, the way to correct popular errors and the mistakes of government becomes clear and obstacles to progress ate removed.

In the dictator ruled countries the government says that such free discussion disrupts the unity of the people, and the editor or citi-zen who speaks his mind Is likely to be locked up in jail or worse. So progress In those lands Is stopped.

Our laws provide against ouch suppressions In the United States. Politicians sometimes complain that as a result of this freedom unfair charges are made against them, but they always have plenty ol chance to reply to ouch charges. The t ruth will prevail.

If It Is ever proposed to limit netwspaper freedom because unfair statements are often made, our people should vigilantly resist such an Idea. The unfair charges will destroy themselves, but when the people lose the opportunity for free dlscuwlon their chanccs for improvement of their laws, econo-mic problems, and government will dissappear. The abuses which result f rom the freedom of the press are relatively unimportant. When that freedom goes there will be no way to avert Injustice and tyranny.

T H E THERMOMETER

A THERMOMETER measures the heat in the atmoephere.

There are thermometers of a men-tal nature also, which measure the amount of energy, enthusiasm, and successful power being put Into some phase of human activity.

One of these thermometers Is found In the advertising columns of a neiwspapcr. I t reflects the state of prosperity and enterprise In its home town, as the physical ther-mometer reflects the warmth of the day. If enterprhe In that town is high, It will be shown in a high amount of advertising apace in the newspaper. If enterprise Is low In tha t community, do not look for any conoiderable amount of newspaper advertising. When the advertising thermometer rises, more business Is coming into that town.

AS THE STORY GOES

r P H E R E IS a tale told of his Satan-ic Majesty deciding to give up

the figbt and go out of business. As the fable go**, th* dflvll hangs high the "For Sale" sign with the instruments of his power put upon the auction block. For a price you might purchase deceit, hatred. Jealousy, malice and depression. The last named was the dearest for according to the devil it his most useful weapon. He ex-plained its value. When you get a man to admit defeat you can do almost anything you want with him! Though you are of the opinion that the devil never entertained the thought of going out of business, you will probably admit there Is sound reasoning to the devil's argu-ment about depression. Defeat comes to each of us when we feel there is nothing ahead, we have come to the end of a one-way street. But most men will find a way out, will not permit their thinking to be defeated and plan for a return bout for an oppor-tunity to stage a come-back. And few but whom are strengthened for the next fight because of the loss

Crash Fatal to Fred Thomas, 74

Young People Also Hurt In Same Crash

Injur ies received In an auto accident Monday night proved fatal to Fred Thomas, 74, of McCords, who passed away early Tuesday morning In St. Mary's hospital. Grand Rapids.

The accident occurred about 10:30 Monday evening on M-66, three miles south .of Lowell, when the car driven by Mr. Thomas, who was alone, and a car driven by Perry Freeman, 16 of South Boston crashed together head-on. Mr. Thomas was taken to the office of a local physician and then taken to the hospital by the Haner am-bulance. He was on his way to his home In McCords when the accident occurred, having Just returned from driving his daughter, Mrs. Russell Smith home from Beldlng.

W. V. Burras Honored At National Convention

W. V. Burras, of Lowell, president of the State Mutual Fire Insurance Compsny of Michigan, had the honor of being named chairman of the national f a rm board a t the re-cent national convention of mutual insurance companies held In Los Angeleo, Calif. Over one thousand official delegates attended the con-vention from all sections of the country.

Mr. Burras was accompanied on the tr ip by Mrs. Burras, going by the Northern route and returning by the Southern, with stop-overs at points of interest In Arizona and a side trip Into Mexico.

around Lowell. We arranged our trip down from

Havana so that we might spend the night at Camaguey and take a few hours the following day visit-ing neighboring farms.

One mile of Cuban agriculture Is pretty much llk«» the next; In other words, the pvoduce of Matan-zas Province does not vary partlcu-lary from that of Orlente, although they are at opposite ends of the Island. Coming down, the country-side seemed a succession of oranges, pineapples, bananas, coffee bushes, cacao, with sugar cane growing everywhere both deliberately and accidentally. We saw quite a bit of corn, but honestly, none of it looked quite as good as the Michi-gan variety.

The soil of Cuba is extraordinarily fertile, varying In color from dark brown to a brick red. I t is a common occurrence for a farmer to cut twenty crops of sugar cane before replanting la necessary. Frankly, I don't believe they've ever heard of rotating one's crops.

There are no medium-sized farms. They seem to be either twenty to forty acres or at least three hun-dred. The large farms are all plan-tations, and are worked principally on shares—very small shares, I might add.

In the stretch of six hundred miles we did not see one tractor,

one piece of modern farm machi-nes*. I t is quite understandable though, for gasoline is forty cents pei gallon and labor very cheap. All plowing is done by oxen, and ah transportation in the interior accomplished by the small, wiry Cuban horses. Even the twenty-acre farmer has several horses, and sad-dles grow wild. Simply cut a few stalks of cane, trim them down, tie them across the horse's back and voilal—one has a comfortable sad-dle.

The cattle here were all Im-ported originally from India. Evi-dently they are better able to with-stand the rigors of this ever-hot climate.

The great majority of Cuban farmers have a low standard of living. Their houses and buildings are very small, with rectangular holes cut In the whitewashed walls for doors and windows, and thatched roofs. Floors of any ma-terial except dirt are unheard of. Barns ar t merely a heap of thatch set on posts.

On the whole, Cuban farmers arc a happy-go-lucky lot. Their philosophy of life compensates for what they lack. If they never see more than a f :w pesos at one

Farm School to Start Nov. 24

For Young Men Between A jes 14 to 25

John Klelnheksel, head of the Lowell high school agricultural de-partment sends the following an-nouncement concerning the 3rd Part-Time school to be held In the Agricultural Room of the Lowell High School. As in • the past the course is open to all-out-of-school boys between the ages of 14 to 25 years, free of charge. I t Is hoped that all will take advantage of this instruction. The course of Study has been set up, with, the National Defense call for more farm prod-ucts, under consideration. Instead of spreading the course over 15 weeks as in former years, It Is felt that more good, valuable con-structive work can be done If the school Is conducted three nights each week. /

about close to three-quarters of a century ago, the occasion was the dedication of a national cecietery. Thousands of folks had gathered In this spot, coming from hear and far , to listen to a famous orator of that day deliver the main dedi-catory address. This he did, speak-ing very eloquently for two hours. After he finished a tall gat int and dark-bearded man, wearing a high silk hat, stepped to the f ron t of the speaker's platform. From notes hurriedly Jotted down on the back of an envelope, he too spoke but for only approximately three min-utes. .As he finished and resumed his place the crowd remained silent and .seemingly untouched. One might think they were still wrapt In the throes of the two hour

THE AMERICAN SYSTEM AND 'THE OLD LADY'

A FEW YEARS ago I stood one day beside a linotype operator, watching his fingers idle over the keys ol the machine he was operat-ing. I knew his capabilities. The plant had, up to a lew weeks be-fore, operated on a piece basis, and each day that man had pro-duced more than twice what he was then producing, but the union had banned piece work and lorced a time basis, fixing a minimum the company could demand. It was that daily minimum this operator was producing.

"John," I asked, "were you more tired at the end ol a day when you did piece work than you are now, working on time and producing about hall the type you did then?"

"Not a bit." he replied, "but why should 1 work faster so the 'old lady' out in Omaha may have a few more dollars to spend?"

The "old lady" is dead now. Of the profits that were made, she look none with her on the road she trav-eled. other than enough to pay lor • shroud and casket. A consider-able portion ol those profits went to provide more machines that meant more Jobs for more men to support more homes. Another portion went Into a reserve that provided pay for John, and other Johns, during the days of depression, when losses instead of profits were piling up day after day. The remainder is today invested in worthy institu-tions that are enjoyed by the gen-eral public.

The little story illustrates the Amer-ican system of free competition.

COST OF SCHOOLING IN CALIFORNIA in 1940 the aver

age cost for the year for primary schooling of children of the state was $107.40. There was a wide vari-ation in the cost in different school districts, with $218.86 as the top and $80.65 as the bottom.

The Abundant Life

CHKIST J i : s u s declared (John 10:10). "I nm come that they mi^hl have life, nnd thai they

might have il more abundantly." Whnl an inspiring promise is con-Inined in this slalcmrnll Rut men, while quirk to see the promise which engenders within the heart a hope of rulflllment. often fail lo prove praoticn! Ihis promise of the Master.

If we have failed individually to prove the truth of Ihis promise, we may he helped by considering how far we have applied the rules which Jesus has given for exper-iencing abundant life. The difll-cully may have come from read-ing into his words a material con-cept of abundance for oneself, as a surplus of material holdings. But Ihe latter concept certainly conflicts with J e s u s ' p r e c e p t (Luke 12:15), "A man's life con-sisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesselh.* Another reason for the failure of mankind to perceive the abun-dance of good in our present ex-perience may be the mistaken s u p p o s i t i o n that the Master's promise was limited lo hia imme-diate followers. But those today who wish to prove true his prom-ises, may, as Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, says on page 92 of "Retrospection and Introspec-tion," "unloose the latchets of his Christliness. inherit his legacy of love, and reach the fruition of his promise: 'If ye abide in me. and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and il shall be done unlo you . ' "

Thus it may be perceived that abundant life is not to be found in material goods, chattels, or pos-sessions, nor was it confined to J e s u s ' c o n t e m p o r a r i e s . Then it may be asked. "If the abundant life does not consist of physical comforts and m a t e r i a l p o s s e s -sions, just what is the life which Jesus promised was to be had inore abundantly '?" The answer lo this question may be found by contemplating Jesus' own declara-tion. Do not his words imply

that the manifestation or unfold-ment of the Christ, Truth, in indi-vidual consciousness reveals God as the only Life, and that those who would be his followers must gain an understanding of Life as God, as a prerequisite to having or m a n i f e s t i n g life "more abun-dantly"?

This brings up another point for consideration if we would prove Ihe promise of Jesus, namely, ad-herence to the rules which he gave for oar guidance. In his Sermon on the Mount the Master said (Matthew 0:31,33): "Take no thought, saying. What shall we eat? or, What shall we dr ink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? . , . But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall he added unlo you." And Ihe Master proved what he said; for he demonstrated Ihe abundance of needful supply, in feeding multiludes on more than one occasion, in arranging for the payment of taxes, and in providing for the last supper with his disciples and Ihe breakfast on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.

It is well for us to ask ourselves. "Are we taking thought —that is, worrying or being doubtful — a s to where or how or when our human need will be met?" It is well, too, to ask ourselves, "What are we seeking?" Do we desire lo satisfy our selfish wards rather than our actual needs? Are we coveting personal adornment, ma-terial success? Do we chafe in our employment or our environ-ment? Or are we slriving lo un-derstand God belter, to recog-nize and exemplify the atlrihules of His divine nature? Are we earnestly seeking to express good qualities in daily experience? Are we really trying lo be more loving and kind, more tolerant and pa-tient, more willing, helpful, and obedient, in our daily contact with others? To express the qual-ities of the divine nature is lo have life "more abundantly," for these demonstrate that of which spiritual existence is comprised. . . . — The Ohrittian Bcienoo Moni-'or.

Michigan Bell Telenhone Company

bringing Clyde for his first visit. Mar jo r ie sat in her car and pon-dered the situation: in more than one way it looked a bit dubious.

She had met Clyde in an eastern city, had liked him from the start , and it had been only a brief step to love between them both. Now he was coming from his eastern home to visit her people at the western ranch; and just how he would be taken troubled her.

She thought of her rugged father . and the husky, rough and ready out-fit at the ranch, and then of her fiance. She would love him in spite of their attitude, but in his slim blond gentleness, his perfect groom-ing. there was an open mark for the men a t the ranch. He was f a r f rom a dude—yet was he? She had seen him only at dances and par t ies and behind the wheel of his powerful ca r .

The great express slid with grind-ing wheels to a stop, and f r o m the Pul lman Clyde alighted—slim, per-fectly garbed, his blond wavy ha i r shining in the sun as she ran up to him. He kissed her in his gentle way.

"Well, here I am, my dear , out in the wide open spaces, and I'll say they a re wide!" he suggested, smiling.

"They will seem wilder still when you .-each the r anch . " she replied— and then wondered if some unhappy present iment lay behind her thought

She drove the car swift ly over the rolling miles to the sprawling ranch, and. as the day was fading, drew up to the hacienda. Her fa ther came to m e e t them, his big form looming over her slight lover. His greeting was cordial and kind, but with h*r in t imate knowledge of the tones of her f a the r ' s voice, she sensed his disappointment.

La te r on, af ter Clyde had gone to his room, she said to her fa ther , "Well, dad, don't you think you'll like h i m ? "

He swung her up into his a rms . "Kit tens, the main thing is how much you like h im! He looks like a clean, fine lad who will a lways be good to the woman he loves; but— he—er—never went in for athletics. did h e ? "

She was a bit exasperated at her fa ther ' s attitude, and she wanted to •cold him for it—all men couldn't be football heroes or prizefighters! But she thought better of it par-t icularly when Clyde appeared again, his handsome, fr iendly face showing his keen boyish interest in the place to which he had come, and his eyes always softening when he chanced to glance at her .

Her next tr ial c a m e when Ben Lane, the superintendent of the ranch , came in for his next day ' s orders . Ben's bronzed f ace was open in his f rank and generous wel-come to Clyde, but the cowboy's eyes held a little twinkle of amuse-men t as his hand swallowed the eas terner ' s .

Because she knew them, she knew I something would be hatched up to j t ry out Clyde. The next day her fa-

ther suggested to Clyde tha t he and M a r j o r i e r ide out to the painted bluffs. She was a bit angry, but the re was nothing to dc but see it through. So she made her p repara -tions, but with f e a r in her hear t fo r Clyde who she knew had never rid-den in a saddle.

When she came out the scene was set. Her father was cn the porch, a twinkle in his eyes; the men in the bunkhouse had drif ted out, each seeming to be busy at something, but all actually out to see the f u n ; and there was Ben leading up a saddled horse. Mar jor ie gasped. It was "Bony"—one of the meanes t bucking bundles of horsehide on the ranch . Ben's face was innocent, but Mar jo r i e hated him with all the hate of which she was capable. The scene was set; to try to save Clyde now would be to humiliate him.

She mounted her own favori te roan, and Clyde was helped into the saddle by Ben. Then the fun start-ed. The buckskin turned into a rea r ing , tearing, jumping whirl of horse and man , up in the air and down on four still legs, around in dizzy circles, out s t ra ight away, away, then a sudden stop; the dust roae and swirled. Mar jo r ie pressed be r hands against her h e a r t But the slim, blond-headed figure stuck —and stuck—and the buckskin be gan to slow down—to waver—under command .

She heard her fa ther ' s awed voice beside her. "Well, by g a w d ! " And his meaning was not profane.

Clyde brought the buckskin to tbe i c o m m e n c i n g a t 1 : 0 0 o ' o l o c k : porch and said simply. "All ready. •

Is there any cheaper way to make tales than by advertising?

If so, the people who pay for advertis-ing today would like to know what it is.

The best proof that advertising is the cheapest way to find customers is—so many people use it successfully.

Beautiful City By Night Santiago de Cuba Is the most

beautiful city I have ever seen by nlgrht and the ugliest and dirtiest by day. At night the great purple mountains seem to gather closer, the lights twinkle hospitably from tbe seven hills on which the city Is built, and thc trade winds sweep up Santiago Bay. Yes. the nights are extremely conducive to ro-mance, with public officials setting the pace. The present Mayor of Santiago has seventeen children.

Correlative passages to be read from the Christian Science text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, Include the following (p. 60): "Soul has infinite resources with which to bless mankind, and happiness would he more readily attained and would be more i cure In our keeping.
