TWO     SHORT     TERMS     ENABLE

ATTEND   SCHOOL  DURING
THE WINTER MONTHS.
EGGS.
The codfish lays a million eggs
While the helpful hen lays one,
But the codfish does not cackle
To tell wbat she has done.
And so we scorn the codfish coy,
But the helpful hen we price.
Which indicates to thoughtful mind*
It pays to advertise.
According -to a bulletin, published
by the Ohio State University, the winter terms for the Agricultural course
have been set for January 2 to January 27, 1923 and from February 5 to
March  2,  1923.
These dates have been set for the
winter months so aa to enable farmers or prospective farmers to attend school at an idle seeon ln a farmer's career.
Approximately 1,000 men and women have attended the winter courses
heretofore, and bave profited by acquiring a knowledge of the fundamental principles underlying the beet agricultural practice and of the lateet discoveries in agricultural reseach.
The nature of the work la dlalgned
so aa to convey the meaning of the
study in the least time and the beet
possible manner. The topics discussed are the essential things ln the
farmer's routine of work.
Students will be admitted this year
without an examination but must be
at least 16 years of age. Students 18
yeara of age aud over and who have
a lltle predial experience on a farm
are the most benefited.
The expense of the course is within
Uie reach of the average farmer. The
estimate, as laid out by the University
is about $74.00 for oue term.
Further information may be received concerning the course by writing to the Ohio State University asking for the Agricultural Course Bulletin.
FORMER AMHERST

QUARELL    IN    SOFT   DRINK    PARLOR   IN   LORAIN   RE8ULT8   IN
DEATH OF WALDO FOOTE,
FORMER   AMHER8T
RE8IDENT.
f
Waldo Foole, aged 47, died at St.
Joseph's Hospital In Lorain Saturday
afternoon following a quarrel in a soft
brink parlor ln 28th street in Lorain.
A fractured skull Is said to have been
the cause of bis death, according to a
report by county coroner, Miles E.
Perry.
According to reports, Foote went into the soft drink parlor In Lorain in
an intoxicated condition and after a
quarrel with Dan Millfor.i. the proprietor, he was picked up and taken to
St. Joseph's Hospital where he died
Saturday afternoon.
Coroner Perry ordered an autopsy
and It was found that Foote's head
had been fractured at the base of the
skull.
The deceased was a former Amherst
resident having spent the greater part
of his life on the Middle Ridge. Upon
the death of his father, he was left a
comfortable fortune. Latter he entered a career of dissipation and had
been under the influuence of the same
for the past several years.
Funeral services were conducted
from the home of his mother, Stop 48
on the Green Line, Tuesday afternoon
at 2:30.

RECEIVES  EDISON  AND
COLUMBIA  AGENCY.
R. H. Hearn has been awarded the
agencv tor the Edison and Columbia
phonographs in Amherst. He will
have a display of the above mentioned
phonographs in one of the display
windows of the Wm. Guild Grocery,
in tho near future.
F. R. Powers was In Cleveland on
business today.
Leroy Neumeister, who received a
broken ankle some time ago is improving.
WRAP   PARCELS   CAREFULLY.
The Post Offices all over the country are now being flooded with Christmas parcels and other mall, which
they will be unable to take care of unless, the public takes great pains In
wrapping and addressing.
Thousands of parcels have been lost,
others damaged, through the carelessness of the sender, by not wrapping
carefully and addressing plainly.
Local postal officials urge that all
parcels and mall sent out ln the future, be carefully wrapped and addressed plainly, so as to Insure delivery.
As the plans for the Community
Chest Campaign are being shaped and
nearlng completion, on every side, we
are hearing the pros and cons on the
subject. Some are heartily in favor
of the move, others radically against
it and others, the half-way-betweens,
express themselves as being for It
and against it at the same time.
Summing up the results from the
meeting held last week, the Community Chest has at least thirty backers,
and those being the ones that attended the meeting.
This week, the move has taken on a
new light, in the addition of about sixty more enthusiastic followers, making a total of nearly one hundred people back of the movement.
On next Wednesday uight Un.il
plans will be made for the drive which
will be staged on January 3 and 4.
The meeting Wednesday night •will
be open to the public.
Being heartily in favor of such a
move, we feel that there are too
many pessimists to make the drive
run smoothly. We feel, too, that
these pessimists might be Justified ln
their beliefs, but It would be much
better not to let other epople know
iheir stand on the matter, and ln such
u manner, eliminate possibilities of
changing the stands that a marjorlty
of the people of Amherst have made.

PUBLIC DESIRES BUSINESS INFORMATION.
THE FOLLOWING IS AN  EXTRACT
FROM   THE   "MONTHLY   BUSINESS    REVIEW".
(By  the  Eugle-St.   Pessimist)
This Community Christmas proposition makes me mad.
Why should a lot of no-account children be given a Christmas "treat?"
I never gave a child a "treat" or a
Christmas present in my life.
Why should we be expected to go lo
the M. M. H. S. to hear the children
sing  carols?
I never have attended a carol service or a public concert—and 1 never
will.
And 1 am proud of "It".
We are entering the holiday season,
with its attendant spirit of giving aud
forgiving;  unii Increased buying.
The producer and seller og goodB.
with the continuing high cost of labor
and transportation, are making a determined effort at fixing the price of
thou goods at prices the public feels
Justified In paying.
Perhaps this Justification Is found
in the realization on the part of the
buyer of goodB that as an Individual
he has given assent to those Items
which Increase production costs; such
us labor und transportation. It Is the
seller of goods who takes undue advantage of a rising market situation
by imposing unwarranted selling prices, that will be cut off und left to
wither in his disregard of lessons
learned during the recent buyers' rebellion.
There has been a growiug conviction with us, which this month's replies from our corespondents ang-
menta, thut the big-visioned manufacturer does not wish to increase the
prices on his manufactured products.
He would prefer a larger volumo on a
smaller margin of profit rather than a
I large margin of profit on a reduced
vi.liiin,. ot production. He feels that
there Is iiioiv certainty and stability
in the larger volumo aud narrow margin which enables him the better to
reguuulate his buying and operating
expenses.
We kuow of several Instances where
the manufacturer has absorbed the Increased cost ot ruw materials, and
other production costs rather than pass
them on to the retailer or consumer.
There are many instances where these
increased costs huve very reluctantly
been passed on to the trade. Perhaps
this Is not so much due to a spirit ot
magnanimity as to the fear ot reduced
demand.    In either case, however, the

At no time during the publication of
the Monthly Business Review has
there been such a keen interest on the
part of the public for information on
business conditions and economic
trends. Never have written requests
for the Review been as numerlous as
at present. For reasons unkouwn to
us, certain months bring requests from
different  sections of the  country.
From this general desire for business Information we might draw two
conclusions: there is either an eager
hobs for a better understanding of
one's own particular business, or a desire for a greater knowledge of business conditions as a whole.
lu general business men can be divided into three classes: (1) those interested only in their factory or office,
(2) those Interestsed in the Industry
or profession, and (3) those who have
come to realize that their factory or
office, their Industry or profession is
inextricably Interwoven in the national or even international business fabric. It is a mighty encouraging and
healthy sign to see class numbers one
and two coming over into class number three. Such a view of the whole
business structure and a better understanding ot causes should have a
sobering Influence against a recurrence o frecent economic excesses and
indulgences.
Mrs.  Chas  Hammon  was a  Cleveland visitor Monday.
