Why Not He Happy Today?
iave questioned my hopes of the

Lye doubted my dreams of the
i pa^t,
lave roamed through the realms of
ambition,
i;i visions too lovely to last,
Live longed for youth's fondest'
, ideals,
|t those phantoms'are now far
I away
l<i at last fair philosophy whispers
[ why not be happy today?
lough storm clouds may darken
| Jiff's valley,
U each heart has some shadows of
j eare, -
L bright sun will &oWh gild the
I havens,
bd thy troubles will melt into air
what is the use of repining?
511 it bless or ennoble you pray?
|>! the world does not care for
your whining1,
why not bo happy today?
(i, the old world at heart is too
solemn,
Lr life is at beat full of trials;
it try to be cheerful, it will help
you,
you brighten all pathways with
smiles,
|cn life will be well worth the
. living,
[t kindness illumine its way,
n<\ with hope's gilded banners be
fore us,
It's strive to be happy today."

veterans of the World war by S. C.

?of the Columbia Regional Office. The
letter is self-explanatory and Miy
Baruch asks us to state that the
same applies to veterans of the Span
ish-American war also:
"We have been advised that you do
sire a re-examination, as you believe
your condition is now worse than
when you were last examined by j
bureau physicians.
"In order that this office may take
action looking towards a re-etfamina
tion, it is requested that you submit
to us a statement from your physi
cian, showing in detail your present
physical condition. This statement
will enable this office to have you
re-examined and give you the specific
lcind of examination which you re
quest.
"The last examination which was
given you did not disclose that you j
had a disability due to your military
service, but under recent laws passed
for the benefit of ex-service men you
would be entitled "to treatment in a
bureau hospital, even though your dis
ability is not due to your military!
service, provided treatment is nt*c??s
sary.
"You would not be entitled to com
pensation for receiving treatment for
a disability not shown to be connect
ed with military service."

under the "juay as you go'4 act as
enacted at the 192-1 session of the
general assembly, will reach the coun
ty treasurers by the end of the moiith
if tht- hopes of the motor vehicle di
vision of the highway department are
-realized, according to L. H. Thomas,
secretary of the state highway com
mission. The treasurers are to see

The reimbursements will amount to
about $.'i?t>0,000, less than half of the

their vehicles have until April 1 to do
so, according to the provision of a
concurrent resolution- passed in the
general assembly extending the li
cense registration period to that time.

A Lovely Afternoon Tea
Mrs. Willis Sheorn and Mrs. W.
F. Nettles were joint hostesses at a
lovely tea Wednesday afternoon at
the home of the former on Fair street.
Tlj/ cheerful living room had an add
ed attraction in the brilliant yellow
flowers that filled tall vases and huge
bowls and blossomed in every nook
cind corner. About a score of friends
came in to enjoy the "cup of cheer"
and the delightful informality of the
occasion. There \js a subtle influence
in the taste of tea which makes it
irresistible and capable of idealisa
tion and we are not slow to mingle
the fragrance of our thoughts witn
its aroma. We welcome the oppor
tunity to bow to the queen of the
Camelias, and revel in the warm
stream of sympathy that flows from
h e r altar.
