Only Half Ah Had
Things are only half as had as we
think, and worry only blindfolds the
eye that might see the good half.
Listen to a story:
One Negro was worrying about the
chance of his being drafted for the
army. The other consoled him by:
There's just two thing's can happen,
boy. -Yon is either drafted or you
ain't; you can forget it. If you is,
you've got two chances. You may be
, sent to Prance or you may stay here.
If you stay here you don't need to
worry; if you is sent to France yrtu've
got two chances, They may send you
tQ the front and they may leave you
in Paris. If you stay in Paris, your
troubles are over; if you go to the
front you've got two chances. You
may be shot a,id you may not. If
you're not there's no reason to worry;
if you are shot you've got two chances.
You may die and you may got
well?and even if you die you've still
got two chances."?Monroe Enquirer.
Henry Stevens
President Stevens of the American
Legion shows a high degree of moral
courage in his opposition to the demand
of a determined mass of Legionnaires
for a cash settlement ofj
their bonus claims, instead of ac- i
eusing him for his stand, every Am-1
erican who values the qualities of:
manhood on which national greatness
m.u-t ir-t should pay him the highest
honor. Newherrv Observer.

the bonus payment and it took quick
work to save him from injuries.

Lights Are Blamed
For Egg Overplus
Kansas City, Mo., April 16.?If
hens could tell the difference between
sunlight and electric lamp*, the egg
industry would not be in the midst
of a depression, according to Samuel
J. Hurst, secretary of the Missouri
Poultry Shippers' Association.
Farmers have found that electric
lights turned on early in the morning,
get the chickens "out of bed" and
start them at'their appointed job of j
laying eggs.
For this reason, egg production remains
the same in winter as it does
in summer, when longer days formerly
meant more eggs. And these extra
eggs are the ones that send the
prices down, Hurst says.
liurand Contents Destroyed
Mr. Charlie P. Pate of Lucknow had
the misfortune of having his barn
struck by lightning Friday night,
April 8, about 8 o'clock. The family
discovered-the tire when the light in
the house went out from the stroke.)
It was than that the light fro.n the
barn was seen. Besides the barn,
one mule, one horse, five hundred
lushels of corn, twenty tons of hay.
and four to five thousand bundles of
fodder were destroyed. Mr. Pate had (
no insurance and the loss is considerable.-?Bishopville
