You cannot male* a RuesMa in lift unless you work. Older won then you have tried ft and failed. You cannot loaf around the street corners, smoke, tell stor­ ies and sponge on someone else without waking a failure in life. You mutt learn a trade or get into aome honest business. If you don’t you will become a chronic loafer, and there is no place in this busy world for loafers. The ripe fruit is at the top of the tree and you must .climb if you get it, or some smart man will pluck it from you., Do something, no matter how small or how low the wages, it will be a starter. Help yourself and others will 'help you. There is no royal road to success: Will, grit and en­ durance are the qualities which lead to it. POOH BUTTERFLY There has ever be&n a spirit of contempt in the manner in. which the ' ’ 'home man” is regarded by some o f his acquaintances, and there seems to be an underlying vein of sarcasm in the comments of some "as they refer in withering scorn to those of their fellow men, who are perhaps in every way their moral and intel­ lectual superiors. The ♦‘home man” is the good man, the honest man and the manly man, and the more time he’ spends at home with his family, after his day’s work is done, the more it is to his credit and eternal happiness. Thd gay fellow who spends his time,away from home as much as possible. with a coterie of equally gay associates, lives the life o f , the butterfly, which is decoid-of benefit, to himself or anybody else, and which, when it has been lived, has has made no one any better. The ‘‘home man” who spends his leisure times at home with his wife and little ones, or, if he is unmarried, with his mother and sisters is the sensi­ ble man, the- man for whom life holds something broader and better than the shams and so-called plea­ sures of-a butterfly existence. SAYS BUSINESS LOOKS GOOD Clyde Northup was in town the other day and informs us that pros­ pects. this year for baby chicks looks ..good. The Northup Hatchery has a capacity of 16,000 chicks. It is said to be one of the most modern plants in this section. Many farmers set their own incubators now-a-days and then place orders at the hatchers for a few hundred chicks to be delivered at the hatching time. THOUSANDS INSPECT NEWS PLANT . The formal opening of the Dayton Daily News plant .^ook place last Saturday afternoon and evening. The plant is said to be the finest and most modern in the United States. The fioweral display, sent by Dayton business houses was es­ pecially attractive, especially'to the ladies,. a.Jfc CAUSES OF DEATH , ■' I. & Plummer, chief of the division o f vital statistics of Ohio, has filed his report. For the year 1923 one out of every 13 babies died before reaching a year old. Of farmers whfo died one out of every 18 went with tuberculosis. One - out of 10 by cancer and one in every five by heart trouble. One out every five machinists died o f tuberculosis and one in eight from heart disease. Deaths in the state during .the last year number 63,019. SUSPICIOUS FIRE AT WILBERFORCE. UNIVERSITY Fire In a temporary dormitory at Wilberforce University last Thurs­ day morning caused injury to nine Students who jumped from second story Windows. The dormitory was awed until the new fireproof structure Is completed. For sometime trouble has been Ex­ perienced among certain students, and aome have been expelled. *It is believed that some of these stu­ dents may be at the bottom of the trouble as revenge. One student, Gerald Coleman, 19, recently discharged, was placed •under arrest and confined in the county jail. The school authorities day of the fire received a suspici­ ous letter. Both county and state emoiels are trying to unearth the - Many of the students lost all their personal effects and escaped only in theft night clothes, NEWSPAPER CHANGE Editor McMillan of the Brook* Vflle Star h*e sold a half interest in the paper to Ids sondn-latf, A, R, Bootaershine, Editor MeMlllan has aondueted the Star for nineteen year*. - During"the past two years, Mr, DeemsttMnt has ntlmigsd ttw ysfV i HW»papwasffaaaiew>i»ii HEREON A VISIT G.

HARRY STEELE FOUND DEAD IN CHAIR Harry Steele, 56, well-known far­ mer, was found dead in his home on the Columbus pike Friday afternoon by neighbors who investigated after their efforts to arouse him by knock­ ing at the door had failed. The body was seated upright in a chair by the stove. Coroner R. L, Haines said death was due. to cerebral hemorrhage, and had occured about an hour be­ fore the body was found. Mrs. Steele had been away from home on a visit Thursday and Fri­ day, and her husband was alone. William Middleton and L. D. Chitty, neighbors, called at the house about 2:30, quid when they received no answer to their knocks, looked through a window and saw Mr. Steele seated in a chair. They entered the house and called Dr. A. D, DeHaven, of this city, who pronounced him dead, and notified Coroner Haines. Mrs. Steele was located later at the home of friends in Xenia. Besides his wife, Mr. Steele is survived by his mothe Mrs. Al­ bert Steele, ai\d the ,following brothers and sisters: Fred Steele, who lives north o f Dayton; Mrs. James Howard, Omaha, Neb.; Earl of Minneapolis; Arthur and .Miss Edna Steele, of Spring Valley. ADDING NEW CHAIN The Kroger Grocery and Baking company, owners of 1860 chain stores in the mid-west, took over the 48 stores of the Thrift Grocery com­ pany in Toledo, Monday, according to news dispatches. MAKES AN APPEAL Dr. W. R. McChesney has sent out a letter appealing to friends and .supporters'of Cedarville College for- financial aid at this time. The insti­ tution has a debt of $3,000 due to repairs and painting on the buildings which was badly needed, after a lapse of twelve years. Also for the street improvement assessment. Re­ mittances are asked for in the next ten days. With 300 contributors at $10 each, and there arq some who may desire to aid by saving mofe, to balance what some other friend is unable to give. There are many calls now days for financial aid but we believe that if more money was spent on our own local institution, the benefits would be greater. We have sent our, check. Have you? SMASHES ALL RECORDS - «i - r tii mi Col. Bell G. Alien, mayor of Wash­ ington C. H., has broken all records for fines in that city. Bootleggers' and law - violators have contributed $1,500 ip fines in one month. NOOKS MAKES HIS ESCAPE John Nooks, colored, serving time in the county jail for bootlegging and making good on a $1000 fine, escaped from Deputy Sheriff George Spencer, Friday, while the officer had taken him to see Dr. H. R, Hawkins, for treatment. The prisoner was taken to the home of his girl for a change of clothes and while there escaped by jumping through a second story window.’ SHORTS St MIDDLINGS Why make rats dig their mineral out o f grain? Give them pll they want, and then some, in barium car­ bonate baits and cold steel traps. Says Sam: Silent folks may be ignorant, but it’s prettty hard to. prove.

AS TO OUR POSITION The position the Herald took last week against the action of the Farm Bureau endorsing revaluation was jut a reflection of sentiment in the organization against such. We have mad but two criticisms from organiza­ tion members but at least two score -'pngratluations for what was said. We do not question the honesty of -he organization leaders in backing revaluation. The favorable vote at the oureau meeting was far too small to ;eflect the sentiment of the individual members. It could not have represent­ ed the sentiment of the farmers of -he county. Had the Farm Bureau approved the movement *by appointing a committee to confer with other organizations in che county, we believe a common ground could have been found, at least * better understanding. When farmers who owned town, property learned what had been done ■ md that valuations could be increas- >d there without lincuding the aver­ age farm, trouble was- started. As was earned at the Monday meeting there ire farms on'well improved roads on ;he tax duplicate for about the same money as farms in'the eastern part if the county that have no roads. In ;his farmers owning that kind of land only could see a reduction to place diem on a fair valuation with other owners more favorably located. It was cor this reason that many farmers,did not want, the revaluation, feeling chere was no chance ijor a reduction. The Farm Bureau misjudged sen- ciraent among farmers, which was un­ fortunate. The organization has done i good work in the past and this one mistake should not always be held a- jainst it. It’s through our mistakes chat we become stronger and more ible to moet the. tasks of the future. : Where Moses Was Found.1 Opposite Cairo lies the Island of Roda’, where, according to Arab tradi­ tion,’ Plmraoh’s daughter found Moses in the bulrushes. At the southern ex­ tremity of this, island is the Nilometer, by which the rise of the Nile has been measured by the Cairenes for 1,000 years. It is a square well with an oc­ tagonal pillar marked in. cubits in the Center. Caspian Sea Tideless.' The Caspian sen is a, tide)ess Inland $ea which Is becoming saltier through evaporation.

The Spies *ent put (Num. 13: IT-20), ' Less than two yearn had passed since the Israelites were delivered from their Egyptian bondage. They were now at Kadesh-harnea, within sight of the promised land. Moses urged them to go In and take immediate possession (Deub 1:21), but they failed because of their unbelief (Heb, 3:19), The record In Deuteronomy 1:10-20 shows that Gpd did not take the Initiative in sending out the .spies but that request was made by the people. Representa­ tive men, a ruler,from each tribe, were secured. There was a three-fold pur­ pose in sending put the spies: 1. To see whether the land was as God had told them. (v. 18). 2. To see whether the people who dwelt there were strong or weak, few or many (v. 18), 3. To see whether the cities were made up of strongholds or tents (v. 10), II. The Commission Executed (Nurri. 13:21-20),. They entered the land from - the south and traversed it to Its northern limit. They spent 49 flays in this in­ vestigating exploration. On their re turn from the north, they gathered some specimens of the fruit of the land. Two of them, perhaps Caleb and Joshua, bore a duster of grapes upon a staff between them, as a witness that God had .spoken the truth about the land, III. The Spies Rendered a Report (Num. 13:26-83),, On their return, this committee of explorers rendered a report to the whole congregation. It was not unani­ mous. 1. The Majority Report (vv. 26-29). (1) A land flowing With milk and honey (v. 27). As U proof thereof, they exhibited the fruit. (2) The peo­ ple who live there are strong (v, 28). (3) The people live in walled cities (y. 28).’ (4) The land Is Inhabited with giants (v. 28; c t v. 33). They saw themselves as grasshoppers. Further­ more, they .saw the people so dis­ tributed, the Ahialeklles In the south, the Hittltes, Jebusites and the Atiior- Ites in the mountains, and the Canaau- !tes along' the sea, that it was Impos­ sible to take them. 2. The Minority Report (vv, 30-33). to part this report agrees ' ‘with the first. It doe*\*t Ignore the difficul­ ties nor disihitfe the facts, ' It denies the conclusions of the majority. They did not minimise the tusk before'them, but asserted that with God’s help they were well able to take possession of the land, and urged Immediate action. The ten had their eyes on the difficul­ ties; but Caleb and .Toslraa fixed their eyes upon God. Caleb lived to see his suggestions made real. IV. The Rebellion ef the People (Num. 14:1-10),. This rebellion began by crying, which shows that they were cowards. Having left God out Of the question, they now weep and howl. L Murmuring (vv. 1-8). This weep- -ing and howling was turnedxInto mur­ muring against Moses and Aaron. Though too- weak and cowardly to take their enemies in the power of God, they could assail their leaders. They even wished that they had died In Egypt, 2. Proposition to Organize to Re­ turn to Egypt (w, 3, 4). They pro­ posed to select a captain as their leader. God took them nt their word —sent them back to wander. In the wilderness for 38 years, during which time they all died except Joshua and Caleb, 3. Moses andAaron Prostrate Them­ selves (r. 5). 4. Joshua and Cnleb Protested (w. 0-9). They rent their clothes. They insisted that the land was good and that, If the Lord delighted in them, He would bring them into the land. 5. The People Were Filled With Murderous Hate and Proposed Stoning Joshua and Caleb (v. 10). 6. God's Interposition (v, 10). He manifested His glory before all the children of Israel In.vindication of the loyalty Of Joshua and Caleb. God then proposed punishment for Israel. Sympathy.

Forecasting A Tremendous Spring Demand 739,626 more Ford cars and trucks were pro­ duced last year than the previous year, an increase of- over 50 per cent. In spite of this tremendous increase in' production, it was impossible to meet delivery requirements during the spring and summer months when orders for 350,000 Ford Cars and Trucks could not be filled. This year winter buying for immediate delivery has been more active than ever beforehand in addition 200,000 orders have already been booked through the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan for spring delivery. These facts clearly indicate that the demand during thin spring and summer will be far greater than ever, and that orders should be placed immediately with Ford Dealers as' a means of protection against delay in securing your Ford Car or Truck or Fordson Tractor.
