FRUIT—IN THE STORE WINDOW

“A man need not go to church if he is honest,” says the man on the street.

Why not as well say that we do not need fruit trees, because the stores are full of fruit?

It requires a man of keen perception to realize that civilization is built entirely upon those moral and spiritual qualities which the church fosters and cultivates.

HOME BUILDING JISSO.J A G GOOD YEAR

The annual meeting of the Plym­outh Home Building Association was held a t the village hall, Monday even­ing. In thq election of three direct­ors for the ensuing three years, R. R. Parrott, William Sutherland and Claude Verkirk were re-elected to succeed themselves.

Since its organization the Plym­outh Home Building Association has helped to finance . the building of thirty-seven houses in Plymouth* has paid regular dividends of 5 per cent per annum to all its members, and in other ways has shown itself to be worthy of the support of every citizen of Plymouth who is interested in the growth and prosperity of our home town.

The annual report of the Secre­tary of State, Charles J. DeLand, covering the work of the Building and Loan Associations of Michigan, for the year ending June 30, 1922, is just out.

The report .covers the work of eighty-one associations with combin­ed assets of $58,546,236.79. Very few people seem to appreciate or un­derstand the work tha t the Building and Loan Associations are doing in the state to promote the idea of sys­tematic thrift and home-ownership. The secretary closes his report as follows: “The state .m ust give all encouragement possible to those ex­pedients that make for the content­ment and financial competence of its citizens, and no expedient functions to this end more directly and more practically than do building and loan associations.”

It is gratifying to note that our own local association, the Plymouth Home Building Association, stands well to the front in its growth for the year, showing an increase in assets of 61 per cent, which is ex­ceeded by only one other association, incorporated the same year as our local association, 1919, and only by two associations that have been in­corporated since that date.

THE PLYMOUTH MAIL

THE COUNTRY BOYJudge E. H. Gary believes every

young man should get his start in the country. He is not alone in that belief. We can find hundreds rigta around Plymouth who believe that the boy who gets his s tart in the country starts out better equipped to face life’s battles, and history proves that the majority of successful men were reared in rural districts. The country boy has to think for himself, and he has more opportunities for work and few for play. Consequent­ly, when he goes to the city, if he is going to amount to anything a t all, he regulates his life by what he has learned out in Vhe open spaces.

There is something in the city that stimulates new blood, but eventually creates a sterotyped character. So always there must be new blood—the freshness and enthusiasm for tasks old to the city boy but new to the country boy. This brings a new problem. About half of the people of America live in the cities now, and presumably more than half hereafter will be bom in the cities. Commerce, industry and business consequently will draw less and less upon the countryside for their new leaders, and more and more upon the cities. But here another factor enters. The present tendency is back to the coun­try. It has been said of the average business man that he wants to make enough money to go back to the country and live a life of ease. If this is true, the country will continue to furnish the leaders, for youth will spend much of its time away from the hustle and turmoil of the cities. To grow up in the suburbs is not the. n-l iv, AA,int-ir lifa k,l+ if ic

real thing in country life, but it is vastly better^, for the future citizen and his generation than to grow up without any of the experiences and environment which created the sturdy Stock which is still the backbone of America.

PAYING MOTHER’S BILLA ten-year-old lad overheard

conversation about certain bills to be paid and conceived the idea of making out a bill for his own ser­vices. So next morning he laid this .statement of account on his mother’s breakfast plate:

"Mother owes Willie for carrying coal six times, 20c; for bringing water lots of times, 30c; for going 10 errands, 15c.”

His mother read %the bill, but said nothing about it. That evening Willi* found on his plate the 75 cents and also another bill, which read as follows: “Willie owes mother for his happy home of ten years, nothing; for nursing him through a long ill­ness, nothing; total, nothing.”

When Willie saw the 75 cents he was pleased, but when he read his mother’s bill his eyes grew dim and his lips quivered. Then he took the money to his mother, threw his arms about her neck and begged that she would let him do lots of things for her.

Mother’s bill is rarely presented, but it will pay each one of us to think it over for ourselves and then settle in love and service.

GoodResolutions

This is the time of year to be shaping up good resolutions for the next twelve months. Your first resolution should be that you will keep all the good resolutions you make.

Among the good resolutions for 1923, include this, “RE­SOLVED, I shall listen atten­tively to the advice of insur­ance representatives I know are dependable and up in theirline.”

Among the good resolutions WE long ago made is this, “RESOLVED. That we shall represent only companies we know are sound, and that we shall thoroughly post ourselves on all kinds of insurance which we sell.”

That resolution of yours and this resolution of ours make it easy for us to do business dur­ing 1923 to our mutual 'ad ­vantage. We wish you a very prosperous and happy New Year.

TEXAS TOWN CENTURIES OLDY sleta, Now El Paso, h a s Tradition

It W as Founded in 1340 by Spanish E xplorer,

- A tradition which hus been handed down through usuuy generations •>{ West Texas and New Mexico pioneers has It that the little town of Ysleta, Texas, IS miles southeast of El Paso, Is the oldest settlement In the United States,

According to this tradition, Ysleta was founded in 1540 by Don Francisco Vasquez Coronado, famed Spanish ex­plorer. This would mnke Ysleta twen- ty-flv6 years older than St. Augustine. Florida, which Is accredited as being the oldest city In this country.

Yet there are no official records t<> substantiate the theory of Ysleta’s an­tiquity. It Is old. the oldest town In Texas, no doubt, but its origin Is trace­able only as far back us 1<>82. authori­tatively.

According to church records at Ysleta. the town was founded by An­tonio Otermln, Spanish governor of New Mexico, about the year 1082.— Detroit News.

Eclipse Aided Columbus.An eclipse is said to have aided

Columbus on the Island of Jamaica a few years after he discovered Amer­ica. The savages had taken Colum­bus and his eonuamions prisoners and would give them no food. By his reckonings Columbus knew that an eclipse of the moon whs coming. He called the Indian chiefs to him and told them that If they did not bring him and his companions food that very night he would take from them the light of the moon. At first they laughed at him, but when the dark shadow began to creep over the face of the moon they ran to him with all the food they could get together, be­seeching him to forgive them and to order the moon to’ shed Its light again.

This happened March 1, 1504, date by which, according to modern table* of eclipses, there would have been an eclipse.

Maaterpiecea of Wood Carving.In the Italian Renaissance master­

pieces In wood carving were elaborate "holr stalls, elaborately carved ceilings and minor works of industrial art, such as carved wedding chests. In Spain wood carving flourished to a still greater extent. Here the art first showed Moorish Influence, but during the late Gothic period French, and In the Sixteenth century Italian Influence. During the Seventeenth century polychrome sculpture In wood was perhaps the moat characteristic form of Spanish sculpture. The mas­terpieces In the art were choir atalls and screens.

BAPTIST NOTES l«New faces in the choir last Sunday i

morning—glad to see them. !The Sunday-school was in good j

trim, Sunday, and Joe Stanley, as- j sistant superintendent, presided. Mr. Allenbaugh was away at Harper hos­pital, caring for his wife, who is very :11. We missed them both very much, ] and many prayers ascended for her > peedy recovery. I

Miss Gertrude Grainger and Miss I Irene Swikert led the B. Y. P. U. I Sunday night. A goodly number Were in attendance. i

The pastor and wife were in Pon- | tiac, Monday and Tuesday, attending i the conference and missionary rally.

LADIES’ AID SOCIETYThe Ladies’ Aid society met Wed­

nesday afternoon, January 10th, at the home of Mrs. AJisa Estep, 156. Liberty street. It was a very large meeting, and the ladies gave a good report. The amount they have re- cived this year from all work, viz., suppers, bazaars, quilting, bake sales, etc., was over $500—rabout $100 more than last year, besides painting and varnishing the woodwork in the base­ment of the church. It has been a marvelous year for the ladies.

The officers elected for this year are as follows: Mrs, George Wilskie, president; Mrs. Joseph Stanley, first vice president; Mrs. H. E. Sayles, second vice pratident; Mrs. Florence Beals, secretary; Mrs. Hugh Daly, treasurer; Mrs. Lucy Smith, flower committee.

The retiring president, Mrs. John Murray, who for many years with untiring energy, has led the women in their work, felt she would bi obliged to discontinue her office this year. She was given a hearty vote of thanks for her faithful leadership in all these years.

The secretary, Mrs. Florence Beals, also Mrs. Hugh Daly, treasurer, and Mrs. Lucy Smith each gave a report of their department and work, and each was accepted by a rising vote of thanks.

At the close of the meeting, a splendid supper was served. The house was full of members of the church and congregation, and all had a splendid evening. At an oppor­tune moment, Mr. Hamill stepped for­ward and addressed the pastor. He siaid the friends had desired to re-, member the pastor and wife at the beginning of this new year, and pre­sented them with a very nice leather upholstered rocking chair. I t was a great surprise to both pastor and

ife. Mr. Sayles made a few re­marks, and thanked the church and congregation for their kindness and good will.
