Making hay while the suu 1 shines is more'n 8 hours. Lead horses do mighty little ' pulling. j Gratitude is harder to find than Villa. ( The best down hill puller is < booze.

Distress signals are not for ! nAntlnn/Min 1 WllllUUUUO use* Love and submarines know no law. 1 It takes a certain amount of genius to put up a successful bluff. 1 A smile is just like putting j money out at interest. In looking for opportunity, do < not dodge good hard work. Do something other than second the motion. Those who seek adventure 1 are often looking for trouble, and generally find it. Worry is harder work than \ sure enough work. Don't get up early in order to j do nothing. Fiction is in demand, because 1 the truth hurts. ( Conscience is the alarm clock t of our minds, but it is not always wound up. j When a woman dresses to ( make the men look, she is mad if thev do and mad if they don't. ( Fine language is not necessary if you have something to say that is worth hearing. Girls, a husband who is a I good provider is better 'ban one who dances all the latest bunnyhugs. 1 A woman can get most am verdict she wants from ajurvi: t she only cries wet enough.

H. Mangum the other day "I'll bet I have received as many as seventy five letters from firms and individuals who want to sell me canning outfits and cans. The Seaboard railroad got hold of the piece, and then the Manufacturers Record got it. They have had the laugh on me at home about so many letters, but I have learned a lot about the buisuess," The article referred to was a short little notice about a proposed canning outfit to be in stalled in the room adjourning the Coca-Cola Bottling plant. No effort was made to get it into notice all over the country, but it got there all right. i STAY OUT I "I get fighting mad evprv timo I ride over a neighborhood road in Jhp Svlnrlhlllc llllinn *U ? /_ 11__ vuuuuiiij nucu LlIC 1UIKS are plowing," said a man the other day. "They just plow right out into the wagon routes and make it ride like going across a potato patch all the time. Can't you say something that will cause some of them to think a little while they plow?" Well, we are not shure we can stop anybody from this annoying habit, but we are willing to try. Most roads through the sand hills are just barely wide enough for a buggy or wagon. This little narrow so called road is used as a ditch and dumping ground. The rows and terraces are made to empty right into the road, and at some places a bank is made to keep the water and loose sand in the road, thus forming an artificial sand bed for i?00600SOSO? > IQ FREE Watch This A Q CONTEST CAMPAIGN j!

G. CAS1 ! every poor beast that come; along to drag through. Th : plows are rarely lifted until th ; sand has been pushed int*? the routes, and roots and stump , are dragged out of tlie field; . into the roads to test the cussing I possibilities of any unfortunate \ who may have to pass that way. If the people can not make the roads better, they can at least quit making them worse. In a few hours on a wet day with 2 mules, a heavy plow and a drag wonders can be worked on a stretch of road. Hut if there are those who can't be induced to do a little road work instead of going fishing when it rains they might at least show enough Iconsideration to let the roads alone. A sand road with two feet outside of each route where grass and weeds may grow becomes a better road than if the edges of the road are kept cleaner than the field adjoining. A man is judged by his roads. In one of his sermons here a year or two ago J. W. Little told of a man of his acquaintance who was so sorry that he wouldnot provide wood and food for his family but would loaf and drink. Not content with bringing this unhappy lot to bis family he would occasionally beat bis wife very cruelly. His neighbor talked with him and prayed for him, but to no avail. Then they took him out, and to use the preachers language, "When they couldn't preach nor pray the devil out of him, they whipped it out." The man was given a genuine flogging and then he reformed. Uncle Sam has prayed and preached at the Kaiser and now he proposes to join forces with his neighbors and help whip the devil out of him. .d l.ach^'eeU^ ^ FRKK^ , I i..| iji j i $ ?
