As a long and girl she crossed the desolate plains and would have walked the entire distance but for a broken leg. When she came into this uninviting, forbidding an inhospitable region theiw was nothing but sand and sage and hill and sky to look upon. To live at all it was necessary to toil from dawn to dusk, to sacrifice, to suffer, to endure hardships without murmuring, and to bury many a cherished dream of youth in the dreary eoiitudcs. ith her own hands she helped to drive away the cheerless-nesto turn the soil, to sow and harvest the crops, to build the home Literally she moistened the desert with her perspiration and her tears. With her eyes she saw every life that came and went, every tillable acre redeemed, every home and church and school built over a period of nearly four score years. Blessed forever be the memory of this and other pioneera who fought the fight and finished the work. In hewing a path for themselves they also hewed paths of pleasantness and peace ' and prosperity for those coming after. (To Mrs. Beck.Mt. P!ea?ant) well-spe- nt s, . Only Correct Ideas Will Help people, or rather to that minority of the people who honestly believe that eomething can be done and who have the welfare of their fellows at heart, to begin changing the almost intolerable conditions that exist in the country and the world. How will they do it? They will and must do it with ideas ideas that bear the stamp of truth, ideas that are warm with a new economic freedom, a new hope and a new faith, ideas that will break down the old tyrannies, the old superstitions, the old hypocrisies. Here is one idea that should find lodgement in all honest hearts and be taken up by able minds everywhere: People must begin to challenge their enemies, first and foremost among them being the International Bankers. No more progress can be made; no permanent security can be maintained; there cannot long be safety for savings and deposits and insurance policies unless the government takes away from these bankers the right to issue money and does the job itself.

The league of Nations' Committee reports that the United States has 16,000,000 unemployed, two thirds as many as all major countries put together. Caret Garet says in the Saturday Evening Post, Never was Jhere such confusion., And still the wise men say, Nothing new must be tried. There must be no social experiments. - Allowances For Human Nature Very many allowances must be made for poor, homely, human nature," especially in these times of confurion and commotion. Men will throw overboard a life's friendship because of a difference of opinion in another. Others will turn jngrate and smite the hands that have helped them, just because one sees things in a different light. Over slight grievances which arise over diverging view points on world affairs some will turn ingrate, cultivate a malignant heart and Bpcak evil and bear false witness. What fools we mortals be. Our position is this: If our own truth and the convictions we have cannot Btand against the truth and convictions of others, when fairly and honestly presented, then let them fall to the ground.
