PAGE TWO Department store sales were five per cent larger than in 1925 and mail order houses and chain stores reported a corresponding increase. _ | At the same time this information was given out the Departâ€" ment of Commerce issued a statement declaring that the dollar volume of business in April this year was nine per cent greater than the volume a year ago. The output of coal and lumber was running ahead of 1925, while the production of crude petroleum had shown a falling off. f "Throughout all the basic industries peace prevails," said Secâ€" retary Davis of the Labor Department in a May day statement. "Rxcept for differences in a very few localities in two lines of. inâ€" dustry, there exist no trade disputes of great importance. All sorts of societies and organizations have been formed to get the government to do things which, these wellâ€"meaning persons have been unable to get some of the states to do. As a result many different bureaus haye grown up at Washington apparently reâ€" sponsible to no one but their own sweet will. This has made neither for economy nor efficiency in government. +‘ ; But nov: tl;; iixile of reaction seems to be at hand and men of all political parties are protesting against the establishment of any more paternalistic bureaus in Washington. r The day has passed when there is any danger of our governâ€" ment breaking up into a number of independent states. What we must see to now is that the federal government does not take over too many of the functions of local government. Fortunately, howâ€" ever, the people are becorning awakened to the danger. In fact as every school boy knows, the constitution was designâ€" ed and adopted only because there seemed no other way out. The articles of confederation had proved ineffective and there was danger that the country would break (up into thirteen jealous states which would easily become the prey of the designing powers of Europe. | f the fedc;;al;b\‘r’er;u;\’;;t has .&ké;'sgwrfiihi advances into the field of governmental activities which had heretofore been regarded as the peculiar province of the states. â€" ° | It .1: n'ot 76n1y that these bureaus are expensive. There is danger that the people will forget to do things for themselves. : 7 At f{rst. therefore, the danger was not that we might have a bureaucratic government, but that we might have no government at all. It has only been within the past two or three _deca?ss tghfi An optimistic note was sounded recently by the Federal Reâ€" serve Board in announcing that retail trade in the United States was much larger during the first quarter of 1926 than during the corresponding period of a year, ago. > 3 "The building trade reports a few centers where certain trades have not yet reached agreements with contractors, but otherwise there is a marked advance in satisfactory relationship over some recent years. "The workers of America enjoy the highest wages ever paid, and they will not jeopardize prosperity for dangerous experiments in political agistation." j $Sp.. . These optimistic reports ought to have a steadying effect on those who felt that the recent slump in the stock market presaged a bad year. (There is nothing the matter with the economic fabric of the United States and we ought to continue doing business as The Highland Park Press Chairman Phipps of the Senate Labor committee at the same time declared: e * s a "As a matter of fact, but little of ttxe calamity howling comes from the farmer. It is produced for the purpose of fooling the farmers, and by a class of men who want to make use of the farmâ€" er for their own selfish benéfit. â€" 2096 5 o P "Let a movement be started to sit down on the professional friends of the farmer. Such a movement would be something realâ€" ly worth while in behalf of constructive agricultural and farm prosperity. Farming is all right, and so is the farmer." "We would like to support some one for the legislature, who would run on a platform of putting all ‘friends of the farmer‘ in jail for 90â€"day terms or so. t ; * "These soâ€"called farmer friends, with their calamity howling, are doing the farmers and the cause of farming a great harm. There is nothing the matter with farming, if these professional friends would leave it alone. _ _ _ io fa oo o‘ One of the most significant political tendencies of the times in America is the rise of sentiment against the further increase of the power of the federal government. |There can be little doubt that the government at Washington has taken over activities that were little dreamed of by the formers of the constitution. m-wmmmmn.m:,azmmmanw Park, Iilinois, under the Act of March 3, 1879. : : Sunday, May 30, is the date of Memorial day, but in most states the annual celebration will be held on Monday, May 31. On that day speeches will be made, parades will march and the last restâ€" ing places of the heroes of old wars will be adorned with flowers in memory of their lives and deeds, all of which is proper and fitting. .'HoxidTys like Memorial day are usually taken as special times for teaching patriotism.. We are shown the superb example of the soldiers‘ sacrifice and are adjured to display a like spirit. In these days of peace there is no special call for the patriotic service of war days, but there are many other directions in which true patriotism may be exerted, in order that our country and its peoâ€" ple may be benefited. . â€" _ ce td h o C e eq P‘c lll“’ ETD MDDHMPUICEWICT c Voting at all primaries and elections is one way to be a good citizen. Sending children to school as long as possible in order thatthey may learn to think for themselves and to choose the right course in citizenship is another. Obeying the laws of the land is another means of exhibiting patriotism. It is not neécessary to go to warâ€"torn lands to manifest patriotism. True patriotism can be as well demonstrated right here at home in the everyday things of life. Long Prairie is just about the geographical center of the great wheat state of Minnesota. It is a typical town of 1,000 people, with a weekly newspaper, the Leader, whose editor has this to say about export bonus schemes, ne;iualiution schemes and daily forays upon congress by professional agricultural propagandists : "It would be difficult indeed to recall a time in our history when abor conditions have been moreé satisfactory than they are today."

God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acâ€" ceptable unto God, which is your reaâ€" sonable service. And be not conformâ€" ed to this world: but be ye transformâ€" ed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:1, 2). f Also a corresponding passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Sciâ€" ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Mankind will improve through Sciâ€" ence and Christianity. The necessity for uplifting the race is father to the fact that Mind can do it; for Mind can impart purity instead of impurity, strength instead of weakness, and health instead of disease. Truth is an alternative in the entire system, and can make it ‘every whit whole‘". (p. 871). | [ f_ H. P.
