SEPT. 3rd. 1914Idleness often leads to meanness. * * * Last week was hot enough for you. * * * * The other man always has the easiest job. * * Tax money is the best investment a people ever made. * * * * Often it is better to save time rather than money. * * * With most men and women the loss of time means nothing. * * There are no better men in the world today than the wielders of the hoe. As the sunshine makes a clear day, so will honest deeds make up a satYed life. ? ? The possibilities of this section of the State as an agricultural region is unlimited. * * * Truth crushed to earth will rise again, but still again lies may smother it down. < * * * * He who brags the most about wa?* is the one that will be first to run away from it. * Worry never accomplished anything yet except nervousness. Work and not worry is the proper thing. * * * * You often have to listen to a line of talk when you know that every word in it is a lie. * * ? There is nothing in the world that is better to keep a man out of mischief than a regular job, or some trade or profession. * >? There are some who fail when it comes to standing up in the severe ' trials of life. One who can do it deserves all the credit that he gets. Many a time a man has been able to patch up a questionable transaction by telling a string of lies, but the time surely came when he wished from his heart that he had told the truth. 9 When you find a man who thinks that the whole world is honest and straight,you may mark him down as a good man, honest and true, but also a very ignorant man. * * One of the worst things a poor man can do it to mortgage his home to buy an automobile. The mortgaging of his home is bad enough, but it is worse when after he has the machine he spends all of the ready money he can get in keeping it in repair and buying gasoline and lubricating oil to keep it on the go. # There is always a class of men in every State who do not take any news papers or magazines, and they will not read a newspaper if it is sent to thein free. It is such as those who make the ambition of a certain class of politicians possible. They Vote from prejudice and not for the good of the county. When such men get an idea fixed in their minds it is next door to an imposibillty to ever gen that idea dislodged. * * While all of the men in Europe will be fighting the enemy on the attle fields, the women and children will be at lfcome fighting to keep starvation away from the door. When you come to think of it, war is a very foolish thing. It is nothing at all but legal- j ized murder on a large scale. * * * No man should ever bo satisfied in this lifo unless he fs making progress to something higher and better. The farmer should strive every year to produce larger and bettor crops than he ever did before, the professional should endeavor by his increased experience to make his success more pronounced year by year. Just so in every other calling, trade, or avocaion, there should bo a desire expressed in actual work to excel 1 not only the record of others in the same business, but to oxcell the record made by the individual himself. * * * The war in Europe will ho used in many different ways as an excuse for . raising pi ices. The government went ; to work recently to investigate the < rapid rise in the prices of the neces- < saries of life, and it was stated on good authority that many things had jumped up in price without any just1 reason for it except the greed of those! who had the commodities to sell. They used the war as an excuse to raise prices and get rich. * ? * We admire the man in the up-country who had always supported Colen T 1191 vt r* r- *-v m X) 1 ^ r, r, ? /^ ^ ** iiici11 uiviii^oiuii uii'rtsc iui cvci;v unite he had asked for, until he ran for the United States Senate; and then his former supporter came out in a long letter to the York Sun and stated the reasons why he would not support Blease any longer. In short the reasons were that he had his eyes opened by reason of what he learned through the vigorous fight made against Blease by Pollock and Jennings; and his letter to the Sun was signed "a disgusted Bleaseite." We always admired the man who was willing to acknowledge his error when convinced of his mistake. * * * THE REASON WHY. One of the most amusing things in the world is to hear the reasons given by a lazy man as to why he has not attended to certain work. The rea- | sons are many in hot weather. The ' lawyer lets the old case remain unheard in the pigeon hole where it was placed in the Spring. Oh Well! There was nothing in the old case anyway. It is still on the docket however. The doctor finds it to be a dull season. His library may be full of new books which he might read with profit to himself and that of his patients. Then too there is the old chronic case that has been pestering him for days and nights through the past several months, maybe years. He might get after it during this dull season, study out a new plan and maybe land the , man or woman on the way to final recovery. But it is so hot, and there is no pay in it anyway. Watch the farmer. He is one who cannot even pretend to stop on account of hot weather. All the world knows that the hot weather is the time when his crops are growing the most, and he hardly ever refers to the heat as an excuse for rest. Not so with the rains. He has to leave the fields and go indoors when it rains. There is really no excuse for the farmer remaining idle during the showers, for he knows as well as we do that there are repairs on the inside of the barn to make, rat holes to be stopped up, corn to shuck and shell, and a thousand other things. But the old saying is to the effect that more rain brings more rest, and the farmer generally rests while it rains. Excuses, excuses every day, nothing but excuses all of tho vpnr ftrniin/1 vmi Vioof ^ -4WW..MJ JVl. llVlUlllf, else from morning until night but excuses for some necessary work not having been accomplished. When on earth will we ever be relieved from this everlasting curse of -4$ excuses. Some people are .so prone s to find excuses, that they would make i an apology for being found in Hea ' ven. If it were not for the r-xcuses < the >work accomplished in thus worh < wmllll carry the nations onv^vd t- J progress and prosperity faster than i any man ever dreamed could tit ^.os- i sible, i * * * * i RABIUIH AND DOG-DAYS .. ] . .The canning of the "dog-days,** ?*-{ < pecially jif the season happens *to!; 1 bring wifla .it one or more prolonged, j heated periods, attracts the attention 1 of the public generally much more to 1 the danger frwm rabies than do defi nite reports of (the spread of the dis- 1 ease at other st&sons of the year, which ought to grouse solicitude, i Boards of aldermen, city councils and ] town officials of other kind wake up 2 from the most absolute lethargy with 1 regard to the disease at this time, ? and, especially in the smaller towns i and country places, pass ordinances 1 and revive regulations requiring dogs 1 to be muzzled while on the streets. 1 This is all the more amazing because 1 the term "dog-days" has no reference c to dogs, but is borrowed from the Romans, who called Sirius, the brightest * of the lixed stars, the dog-star. At <one time during the Roman epoch, the j 5 rising of this star coincided with the ^f rising of the sun in the latter part of July. The twenty days proceeding 1 and the twenty days following this jc conjunction were for the Romans dies 1 eanis, the days of the dog?or the dog 1 star. Rome had its fiercest heats us- I c illll'ino" < li ic noi'inil 4-1..-. I ,1 V>V<I VI uu j;vuvil| WICI t'HIH.', lilt" | time was dreaded and came to have J the reputation of an unhealthy sea- ( son, though not with any special ref- ( erence to the dogs of Rome. In our 1 day the popular meaning of the "dog- 1 days" is that dogs are especially like- 1 ly to go mad at this time. The con- 1 sequence is that, while the animals ( are made uncomfortable by nose muz- i zling, their discomfort is greatly add- 1 ed to by the foolish dread which, keeps 1 people from giving them water or * caring for them properly. Rabies may ( occur at any season of the year; the , actual statistics show greater frequen 1 cy of the disease during the winter | than during the summer months. It is most common in the early spring, and March and April would be a much better time to select for "dog-days" in the popular sense than the weeks of July and August that have by mis< apprehension come to be looked on as ^ the special period of danger. I The recent Seattle epedemic shows how much of real danger there is . from this disease when it gains a foothold because of the neglect of j proper precautions. Surgeon Lloyd ^ of the Public Health Service recently ^ reported that up to the beginning of , June there had been 361 cases of ca- ( nine rabies in the city of Seattle since j the outbreak of the disease began in , September, 1913. Up to this the dis- ] ease had not been observed in Seattle. This is what may occur practically anywhere in this country if the infrequency of the disease begets overconfidence and neglect. Although we disapprove the infliction of unnecessary suffering on animals, says The ( Journal of the American Medical Association, the popular dread of dogs . during the misunderstood dog-days , affords to physicians an educational opportunity too good to be lost. This is the time when they may profitably emphasize the need for special precautions with regard to the spread of rabies. The problem of the control of rabies is mainly the care of stray animals and of those who have no prop- ( er owner, but live more or less on the bounty of the community. Careful ' registration of animals and the destruction of those for which no one ; would assume responsibility would greatly limit the disease. The problem is simpler in England, but the success in practically obliterating the disease for the last twenty years in that country shows what can be accomplished. We need intelligent, 1 persistent scientific interest to prevent the spread of the disease and not the annual attack of hysteria that inflicts cruelty without accomplishing any good purpose. ? C WHY NOT STILL IMPROVE? Some years ago the extensive use to which the automobile is now put was hardly dreamed of by the most sanguine of the men who were .'la burI ing to perfect it. In the first place it i was hard to invent an engine propeU?d by gasoline by means of interna* , combustion, that was speedy, safe and j above all, reliable, and one that would j run indefinitely when supplied with the fuel and lubricating oiL The mat- j ter of transmission bothered very much in the development of ?hesc vehicles. It took so much time and mon ey to complete the first crude affairs that right here the inventors found great difficulty in seeing how the muter driven vehicle could ever amount te much among the general masse? who would not be able to spend a fortune to buy one. r irst one and then another little improvement was thought out by the liar<1est, and the engine, the transmission of its power, the correct assembing of all the parts going to make a successful and speedy machine, were ill accomplished and the result is the ilmost universal use of the automobile today. The price of the automobile has been constantly going down, intil now they are within the reach >f nearly all classes. But while the lutomobile has been greatly improved, and you see a much better ma hine now than those formerly made, still there is one great thing that is ibsolutely needed to make the autouobile what it ought to be if it is to be successfully run by any and all elasses of men. So far it has been mpossible to make a gasoline engine hat would run very long without be cming clogged in the cylinders with arbon. The close regulation of tlu too/oI l UA r? u/l iliA n 1 lii?i r\ n im< < f % r ^ ciovs & 11 ciuvi txiv an k/i iii^O cl I l L l v lean combustion, but there is a proluct left in the cylinders and on the liston heads that will not go out at :he exhaust pipe. This accumulation n the course of a week or two, or at, most about every thirty days,, will ?ause the engine to knock and lose its power, and finally it will stop until it s given a good cleaning. What they want to study for therefore is to mod?1 an engine that will will take care if the carbon itself and dispose of it without injury, automatically, as it runs, or if that cannot be done, make the engine so that any ordinary person unskilled in mechanics, with the aid of a few instructions, may clean the engine without risk in a few minites of time. Then as the valves and ither small parts of the engines will wear out and need renewing, as they ire now made, study out plans for making these parts so that they can ie made to last indefinitely by readjustment. This latter is being done n some machines much more comph ^ated than tho gasoline engine, and it certainly could he done for the automobile engine. When ail this shall riavc been done the manufacturer can sell a customer an automobile that he :an keep up himself at little or no expense. The first cost of the machine will not soon be more than doubled by bills sent in from the repair shop. ITEMS FROM PRINCE'S MILL Dr. Altman was in this section last week.
