PASSING OF THE RUBE Almost anyone can remember the day when the boys of .the town uaed to ridicule the boy* from -the farm, calling them “eM-boppera”, “bay. need*,” “rubee,” and “country jakes." ; I t la rare tha t we hear each expres­ sions now, ian’t i t l ; The “hayseed” hw paired on, In his stead we have a rural business A degenerate can easily fool women *man, a student, a country gentleman, by extreme politeness, and he usually j We. know intimately the farmers does. We doubt If the League of Nations is wearying all the people of the earth especially the Eskimos. America is the best and most adver­ tised nation in the world. There would no t be half the tun in life were there no struggle to make both ends meet. ' They may talk about the men all they please bu t mighty few married women would -change places with the spinsters. Don’t get down hearted because you happen to make .a mistake. Each time a sm art man makes a mistake he learns something. Ypu never can tell. Many a man is all right in his way, bnt his way is all wrong. ' The Ohio Senate has passed the bill forbidding the display of the red dag. The only red tha t should be displayed as a dag in this country is the- red, in the American dag. February left us in real winter style but the advent of March with weather of the lamb variety has brought out many a spring hat among t)ie ladies. I t wiil require $1,200,000,000 for the next twenty-five years to pay off the war debt which means th a t we will have the income tax with us for some time to come. A statesman desires influence, a politician votes. This ' may explain the attitude of ninty-nine per cent of the public men on the League of Na­ tio n s Question. . Paderewiski failed to be statesman enough to overcome the Red senti­ ment in Poland and-be elected presi­ den t of the proposed republic. Those politicians'in this country that have the career' of the noted statesman can now drOp any idea that it takes any musical ability to manage a political campaign.. A-couple of years ago Congressman Feas went over into Pennsylvania and delivered several speeches against Senator Penrose, who he charged as - a corrupt politician and one the Rep­ ublican party could not recognize. During the Congressman’s campaign fo r speakership Penrose informed Chairman Hays of the Republican National Committee that if he want­ ed the support of the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress he had .better take th e F ea r speakership boom put and'bury it. The, next day Fess an ­ nounced his withdrawal from the race which would indicate that politics even among the big guns in Washing­ ton is played under the same rules as practiced in the precincts. Singleness of Purpose. “I t may sound strange,” said the boarding-house bachelor, “but a lot of - men are convinced that the easiest way to win the battle of life is to .fight' it single-handed,” around here, know a man whose dress it not greatly different from the dress of the average business man or me­ chanic. This man’s son drives his automobile as skilfully as the son of the city banker—and with far better judgment as a rule. His daughter is none behind her town g irl friends in the manner and style of dress. His wife can belong to clubs and other or­ ganizations— and yet she can cook. And the man with a “scheme” has learned th a t the farm district is hot the easy thing as in the old days. Labor on the farm is not the heavy druggery it,used to be; and the boys of the farm, today may attend and do attend our best schools' and colleges. The telephone keeps the farmer in daily touch with .the markets and bis daily paper informs him of current aews the world over. The vaudeville entertainer who iresses in a slouched straw hat, with nay protruding from the tom crown; with one shoe and one boot on his feet >,nd a carpet bag and large umbrella, lacks much of success in impersonat- ng the agricultlrist of our acquain- ;ance. Some of the people of the city nay be fooled for they do •not know. They may imagine themselves of finer day. They may know some things he farmer doesn't know, such as yhere to go to see the best shows or :at the highest priced dinners. Yet •hey cannot distinguish an oak tree 'rom.a swingle tree. Truly the day of the ■“rube” has jassed. CLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTY. The voters of Ohio favored classi­ fication of property for taxiation but jy a court decision it was laid aside. The legislature will submit the a- nendment again and even a larger /ote favorable is anticipated. The Nearest case of classification can be iited with automobile owners and of course this means a t least twenty-five per cent of the people. Automobile owners will be compet­ ed to pay the personal property tax is .usual and under the new proposed fill in the legislature, which will like- y pass,"autos will be licensed from 18 to $85 depending on the size o f the ja r o r truck. If we had classification of property che license tax would stand alone and there would be no> personal property tax. Classification applies in many sUch instances and should be heartily supported when submitted to a vote again. mrnm ■e-w;....qwrilwa mas BIBLE CLASSES GIVE DINNER.

How Cabinet Has Grow?.. George Washington had only five cabinet officers—a secretary of state, a secretary of the treasury, a secre* tary of war, a postmaster general and an attorney general. A secretary of the navy was added under John Adams, a secretary of tlio Interior un­ der Taylor and a secretary of agricul­ ture Under Cleveland.

INTERMEDIATE TOPIC-When tp be brave The book of Joshua is a history of the conquest of the promised land and its apportionment among the tribes of Israel. It takes Its name from its principal character—Joshua. During the wilderness journey be was Moses’ minister, and captain of his. army. When Moses was denied the privilege of going over the Jordan, Joshua was appointed to the leadership of Israel. Being eo long faithful as a servant, he is now qualified to rule. Only those who have themselves learned to obey' are"flt to ru le.. Moses, the repre­ sentative of the law, brought Israel to the borders of Canaan, Joshua was the man chosen tp lead the people Into the place o f re st The name “Joshua” has the same derivation as the .name “Jesus,” The law (Moses) was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ; but Christ (our Joshua) has given us victory and rest I. Joshua's Call (1:1,2). Moses, God’s servant, is dead, but God’s work must go on. Do continues his work by calling, others to take it up, though he buries his workers. Joshua; no,doubt,.was sorrowful over the loss of his master, but there Is no time’for mourning. The best way to cure our griefs and sorrows Is to take up courageously the burdens and re­ sponsibilities wbicli our leaders .have laid down. ‘ i t God Renews Hie'Promise of tbs Land to Israel (1:3,4). ' The promise had been _made to Abraham, and renewed -'to Isaac, Jacob and Moses. It is now renewed to Israel when,they are about to en­ ter upon its possession, The border* of the land were quite large ^v. 4) “from 'the wilderness and this Leb­ anon, even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of (he Hlttltes, and unto the great sea to­ ward the going-downHof-the-sun, -shall be your const.” The nearest.

We Would all enjoy larger blessings If we would claim them, HI. God’a Presence Promised to Joshua (1:5). , Joshua waa entering upon a peril­ ous and difficult enterprise, but the Lord said as he was with Hoses eo would he be with him. The difficul­ ties' before him were; 1. The Jordan river (v. 2). It waa now a t Its flood (8:15), making it im­ possible for armies to cross, 2. In the land the people were liv­ ing in vyalled cities. Notwithstanding this, God’s help Insured success. (1) “I will not fall thee nor forsake thee.” (2) "There shall not any man be able to stand before thee.” (3) “As was with Moses, so I will be with -thee,” - ;............. -----------: - ' IV. Condition* of Blessings In the Land (1:6-9), L “Be strong and of a good courage” (▼. 6). His mission was to go in and divide the land among the tribes for an inheritance. God could not bless him if he should play the coward, 2. Unwavering1 obedience to the Word of God (r. 7). In a land of Idolatry it requires much courage to obey the true God. The prosperity and good success was conditioned upon unswerving obedience to God’s commands. In all his work he must conform bis Ilfs to the law of God. To pass from tba path outlined therm In would bring disaster and rain. In order to accomplish this the law of the Lord must constantly be in his mouth, Ha was to meditate therein day and night If we are to prosper In our Christian experience there must b t that regular and reverent study of God's Word. Joshua res* ders prompt obedience. He did not stop to cavil, but a t once gave orders for the march, God made the plan and gave the directions. Hia respon­ sibility was to go forward without doubting, taking possession of the In­ heritance. Saerlfloe. A work that requires no seasides does not count for much In fulfilling God’s plans.
