Business Outlook. The season is here when the business world looks hopefully to}. to the future. The nation passed through the presidential cam- ‘paign without any particular slump in business. The nation philo- sophically accepted the changed conditions in Washington, and thé], feeling among the people is that the nation had chosen wisely when Wilson was elected to the presidency. There is a feeling of confi- dence in him that is very marked, and amidst the constant unrest this can almost be called the era of good feeling. True, the new administration has not gone very far, but so far it has escaped criticism, and President Wilson has shown unusual courtesy to his political opponents. The trend is towards,bigger business, and the belief is that the coming years will be years of healthy progress and safe business. Parent-Teacher Organization. At last Meyersdale has caught the spirit which should be of much good for the future of our schools. The teachers have borne the heavy load a long time, and it is right that the patrons begin. to show a willingness to bear their share of ‘the responsibility. No: only will the parent and the teacher be joined tozether in bearing the burden, but it cannot help but result in more efficient service in senool work and a closer relation of cordiality and harmony existing betiveen the teacher and the parents—and to the benefit of the boy and girl. Here is an opportunity to help in the work in which all are in- terested. Boost, don’t knock! ‘To make the parent-teacher organ- ization effective, good, substantial work is required, encouragement is 0 be sven, help is to be rendered. Rise up to your opportuni- ties and requirements. The Yeoman Farmer. The winter season is about over, and with the cessation of the reign of Boreas, there arises to renewed activity and energy t wroughout the civilized world that class of men and women which has always been counted the strength and stability of every nation, the bread-giver and the raiment-supplier of the world. That body of men and women is the farmer class, which in the past has not been receiving the recognition which it deserves. Yet that sturdy people is enjoying a life of comfort and independence in this day that in thé past had been unknown. The life in the past hear his nzighbor’s voice, and through the newspapers can be as familiar with the news of the world as his city brother. The trol- ley past his door and the automobile in‘his garage, his stock fatten- ing and his crops growing while he sleeps makes him cosmopolitan. Of course his work is hard, long hours and many cares, but he is at the top, and deserves the good things that come to him by a kind providence and the sweat ot his brow. . ~ The Temperance Cause. The people of the county in the last month have beer drawn up in ranks, sides have been taken, the count has been nade. Both elements have been very earnest and possibly somewhat acrimoni- ous. After all, it is not a matter of men arrayed against men, but a cause against a cause, a principle against a principle, a move- ment that has to do with the conservation of our young men and omen, against a custom in vogue that destroys our young men and young women, a movement that reduces taxes, against a system that increases taxation, a movement that means a sound mind shall dwell in a sound body, instead of a practice that weak- ens the mental powers and saps the vitality out of the body. A movement so great, so righteous, that touches every element of human society, that has to do with time and eternity, does not take a backward course. Mistakes may be made by friends, at- %a0ks may be made by foes, but the movement is forward and up: ward. Disappointments may come, weaknesses may show them gelves, but right is right, since God is God, and right the day must win. The cause of temperance is so deep-rooted, and so holy, that it will eventually sweep away opposition. Pennsylvania is held in its grasp by the liquor influence, but there is so much pure woman- anhood and noble manhood in this great state that no human power will be able to hold back many more years the freedom from? the saloon domination. The time is now here to gather the forces, con- serve the strength for the next battle. Pull Together. manifests itself in growth, development and expansion. When the tree no longer conforms to the manifestations of life the germs of decay fare gaining the mastery over the constructive forces. This may not be so obvious at first, but time will bring the relentless testimony to the eyes of all. The nation, the state, the municipality—all harmonize with this law, and this brings us abruptly to the thought we have in mind with reference to Meyers- dale. The natural and encouraging order would be that the popu- lation is larger than it was a year ago. If this is the condition of Meyersdale, then all is well. If this is not correct, then it must be young w Life Style Announce- ment from the April issues of The Delin . eator, The Designer and Woman's Mag- azine. : 11103 TheWooltex $ 2 5:00 Winston Suit A Clever Example of the Cut-away Style IKE other spring Wooltex models, this suit is as res markable for the value given at its price as it is for its style and ‘snap.’ ‘The rigid severity of the tailoring is relieved by a deft touch at the cuffs and by small self-col- ored buttons, effectively placed.
