\H A Man Tl|iuk<*t|).
An old Quaker wan one morning
watering hla cow at the town - well,
when his new neighbor drew his
horse up to the trough.
"What kind of people live in this
village?" asked the new-comer.
"What kind of people did thee
live amongst where thee came
tzom?" .asked tiio Quaker,, .
"Oh, it wan a good place to get
away from. The people were al
ways taking advantage of me and
were Hinall and mean."
"I am worry, neighbor. Thee will
find the bum? here."
And the man did. Ho quarrelled
with all who would quarrel and
noon moved on.
In u few montliH another family
curno -to the Hume town. The Qua
ker met the new neighbor at the
well. The same question was naked
by the at ranger. Again the Friend
ftaked hia question.
"What kind of people did we
have where we came from?" said
the atranger. "The beat , and dear
eat people on earth. We wept in
deepest Borrow to leave them."
"JJe of good cheer! Thee will
find just as good andbeautiful peo
ple here,", aaid the old man.
And the atranger did.
This may or may not be fiction,
but it illustrates a real truth. Not
only every community but every
largo business organization is apt
to contain at least one who is con
tinually complaining of 1)1 treat
ment. Hi# follow* (take advantage
of iii "i. he do?i mora than be 1>
pal?J fdr; his hourn are too long;
tbe boss is mean and uuppreclative.
You knqw tbe kind, and you who
do your work with an uplifted chin,
a cheerful smile, words of eneour
agerueut to the faliA hearted, and
who?e aura la always of the rosleat
hue, have observed the end of the
malcontent. The man who thiuks
happiness la enveloped In It* own
KlorloiiH effulgnce,.? while tbe man
wIkih? thought* are In the shadow
of discontent looks out upon a sun
less prospective of which Is obscur
ity.
In other words, in the vernacular
of the day, u man generally gets
what is coming to hfyn.
Thru Vou Will Know.
If you want to learn why peopiu
die of preventable disease in your
town, don't look down the 'clean,
residence streets of the wealthy,
but take a trip through the alley*,
look Into the bacjc yards, and nolo
the filthy, fly-bre&ding refuse you
will find, AIho look around In the
section occupied by the poorer cltitts
es, where the city, as a rule, neg
lects its duty in the matter of clean
liness. Jx>ok over the outskirts of
your town and note the heaps ' of
decaying garbage and the mosquito
breeding pools which are permitted
to ?Miat. Take ? stroll atosrsr the
course of the water supply and see
if the water Is subject to contaiJaimi
tlon by humans or beasts. Then
Investigate your milk and food sup
ply and noie the extent to which it
is. protected from adulteration and
infection.
When you have noted these
things, make your voice heard in
behalf of the 660,000 people who
die annually in this community from
preventable diseases, for you will
then know some of the most, com
mon causes of this annual sacrifice.

The poitoffice department ban
sent out to nl) newspapers a blank
i. iMui io be filled out abowlug Just
bow many unpaid subscriber* are
on the Met of each paper. The de
partment will thereupon charge the
newspaper one cent postage each
week on each unpaid subscription.
This will mean that the portage
a ion. on each subscription will
amount to fifty-two cent* a year.
Such a postage rate on newspa
pers la prohibitive and the only
thing for the newspapers to do In
to pat-i company with bo many of
It h subscribers as are in arrears.
Another case of-? "We meet with
pleasure and part with regret."
. If the newspapers violate the pos
tal taw they will have their mailing
privilege taken away and a /ine of
$500 imposed. "i'retty heavy," aw
well known local citizen** would Bay.
The Idea back of this move of
the poatoffice department Js to stop
certain weekly papers' from flood
ing the mails with their papers
when such papers really have no
subscribers, but ar'o only cattalogues
of (nail order concerns and are sent
out indiscriminately, the publishers
reaping a , harvest from their high
advertising rates. For years Au- j
gusta, Maine, was the headquarter*
of this sort of business. The post
office department wants to stop
that class of business from riding
the postoffice privileges, but the
law falls upon all publishers alike
and those who are in arrears to
county weeklies must be treated
Just as the unpaid subscribers of
the other class. There are good
people, financially and morally, in
the not paid up class. They have
simply overlooked the matter. The
business department of The Index
knows the few on its list are good,
but the rule must be enforced. If
you are In arrears, haste/i to cor
rect this condition or else the high
rate of postage will compel us to
cut you off.- ? Greenwood Index.
A 15-day campaign in the Sou-th
Carolina Methodist church resulted

The narrow minded man takes up
aa much room in the world as the
broad-minded one.
The host business for any man
to be in is his own.
It is easier to remember a dime

a threat wouldn't bring a cent.

activity in the work of eradicating !
the cattle tick may be expected to
follow the revision of the quarantine
regulations Just announced <by 4 he
United Btatee Department of Agrl
culture. Thla is the opinion ex-'i
preaued today by i'reeident Fin ley,
of the Southern Hallway company,
who aaid:
"The provision that cattle may
he shipped from the quarantine
area under the certificate of an In
spector of the'Uureau of Animal In
dustry that they have been dipped
twice with an iuterva! of from five
to tun day*, in an arsenical solution
?f> otherwlHe treated, in a manner
satisfactory to the Secretary of Ag?
riculture and under the supervision
of an Inspector and thut they are
free from Infection, will greatly en^
courtiKtv farmers to get ttie ticks
out ,of their herds. It will enable
the individual farmer to benefit
from his work before the locality In
which he lives is entirely released
from quarantine. The revised regu
lations indicate a desire of the
Deportment of Agriculture to re
move restrictions on the movement
of cat Me from the quarantined area
30 far as it may safely be done.
"Simultaneously with the issu
ance of the more liberal regulations,
the Department has revised the
quarantine line, releasing large
areas in the regions where the
systematic work against the tick
has been carried on, and making
?he total area released since 1906
rnoie than 187,000 square miles.
Work against the tick is especially
active in Mississippi where at the
close of the year 1012 there were
2,181 dipping vats in operation. In
otic county in this state there were
185 vats. Similar activity through
out the entire quarantined area
would make the complete destruc
tion of the tick only the matter of
x very few years."
Pew theories will work when
tried on tho man who Invents thfem.

excuse has even been invented.
If a man who owes you doesn't

er people are laughing with
you.
