What is sand? It is defined in one way to be a loose material consisting of small but easily distinguishable grains resulting from the disintegration of rocks (most commonly of Quartz.) It is used for making mortar and glass, and for moulds in founding. The name is applied to the coarse quality of earth found in this section of the country, and is sometimes in banks or beds and is frequently cast up from the bottoms of streams by the action of -water. Each grain of it, though small is composed of one of the hardiest and most enduring substances known to mankind. Each grain is as hard as the solid rock itself from which it came. A frain is perhaps stronger within itself than the huge rock could have been for the reason that this grain has withstood th* ges of time and come down to us in this present age a complete entity whereas the big rock has crumbled and lost itself in the grains of sand. When furnished with some element to bind the grains together, they become a hard and unyielding mass. Here is the reason why sand is used for building homes for man, for bridges and concrete work of many kinds. So that sand has another meaning gained by reason of its staying qualities. It means courage; pluck; grit. When used in tfc.s sense it may well be said to belong to some one of the num THE HOBBY HERALD, OON WAY, 8, 0. MAR. 29, 1923 berless kinds of slang, but there is no one word in the English language today that expresses what we mean, when we refer tc courage or pluck in a man or woman, as well as the word sand. Now that you know what sand means, how much of it have you got? It has been said that all of us have to eat a certain amount of sand in this world. In the course of a lifetime the aggregate amount taken may be a peck or a bushel according as the occupation of the person may have kept him or her out in the fields or on the roads and dusty streets. It is not in this sense that we now refer to sand. We mean to ask you just how much of courage, pluck, and grit do you carry in your makeup and with which you are fortified to meet the stresses and the hard tasks of life. The more you have of it, the more will you be able to carry out the purposes of life. Sand is a thing which is admired in any man or woman who possesses it to such a degree as to enable them to stick to duty, no matter what may try to call them away. With it we face the greatest obstacles with an unending faith, and without it we draw back and cower and leave the prize to be taken by some one else. It is the opposite of fear and indecision. The man who has it will go forward while the man who does not have it will lag behind and leave the hard tasks to be done by some one else. Since sand is so important then in the gaining of success, men should study how to attain it. Many different things will tend to give you an accumulation of sand. Among them let us mention regular habits of life which will bring a reasonable assurance of good health. The Inundation of sand is nerve. Keep the nerves, which were sound when you were born, always in that condition by careful living. Be temperate in all things. With a foundation carefully protected and preserved, build on that foundation by the right mentai attitude and allow nothing to distract you from the aims and purposes which you intend to tarry out. This brings sand in the activi ties ana successes of life, and sand which can be used for those purposes can be used in any other way whenever sand is needed. SUGAR PROFITEERS Growers of sugar beets in Colorado and other western Sstates are in poverty and bankruptcy. They were forced to sell their beets below the cost of production notwithstanding the tariff that was supposed to make them prosperous. Once the Sugar Trust got the farmers' beets at ruinous prices and turned them into sugar, the cost was boosted rapidly. On the one side the raw product was bought p,t the lowest possible figure and on the other side the commercial sugar was sold at the highest price, with one exception, in 50 years. BOUQUETS AFTER DEATH This is a practical world and we are a practical people! But there is such a thing as being too practical, too 'hard-headed, too business-like. If our indulgence in these homely virtues takes from rather than ministers to, our well being and happiness, they are virtues out of place. It is American doctrine to "be shown." We don't want to buy a "pig in a poke." When we employ a man we pay him to do a job. We demand that he labor his eight hours for his pay. He must earn his bread by the sweat of >his brow. If we can get someone else to do it for less, so much the worse for the man we had and whom we now fire!

If you do, you can sell them to us. But don't neglect to make your own living while you discover or invent, otherwise you'll starve!" It never occurs to us (the few, very few, positions in this country in which a man can make a living while engaging in research work are not enough to count)?it never occurs to our Government to say to erudite man of learning "here is five thousand dollars a year for life. Go ahead and eat and drink and clothe yourself and your family and forget the battle for existence. Use all your time, all your talent, all your enthusiasm to invent, discover, dig and delve, that we may all have the benefit!" Of course, after they are dead we raise hospitals and call them Walter Reed, and erect statues to S. P. Langley, but while they live wc don't give our really great investigators, inventors, scientists, and discoverers a real chance. No, sir! They have to make a living first. Every man must stand on his own feet! This is a practical country!?Selected. business" failures i Republican newspapers are taking comfort from reports which show that commercial failures were not so numerous in January and February 1923 as they were in the two corresponding months of 1922. This is a new tack for these papers, since they have ceased talking of the growth of prosperity and are now recording a decrease in adversity. There will have to be a very large decline in the number of commercial failures to make the total as low as it was in 1919, the last full year of the Wilson administration. The number of such failures reported in 1919 was 6,456 for the entire country. The number of failures in 1922 was 22,416, and in 1921, the first year of the Harding administration, there were 20,014, which was almost three times the total for 1920, the last year of the Wilson administration. VOTE AGAINST CREDITS Thirty-two of the thirty-six votes cast against the bill to provide additional credits for tfie agricultural and livestock industries when it was put on its passage in the House of Representatives were those of Republicans. Most of these Republican opponents of the measure are from New England, New York, and Pennsylvania. It was observed that one-third of the Republican members of the House either actively opposed the bill or deprived it of support by abstaining from voting. More than four-fifths of the Democrats voted for the bill. NEW ENGLAr Republican 'New England is in ing and the entire national admi spread suffering in that section the winter and at present.

I ONE RUM STILL (Continued From Page One) about these jugs butihe refused to give them any information as to what they were intended for and would not tell what he had them for. In answer to questions he stated that he did not own a still, but that he was going after some whiskey. The officers refused to believe what Strickland said about having a still, and then they followed the road further into the bay. About one hundred yards inside this bay they found a rum mill, all complete, and set up ready for business. At it was also two hundred gallons of mash, five jugs, two buckets, one funnel, and seven barrels. The officers fully believe that if they had come upon the scene thirty minutes later they would have found Strickland at work at this still. Strickland was not arrested as he had not been caught in the act, and as the officers proceeded on their way into the bay, after stopping him and putting a number of questions to him, Strickland took another direction and left. After the still had been found and destroyed the officers turned back to look for Strickland and try to find where he had gone. They followed his tracks for some distance and found the bag of jugs where he had hid them hastily and made good his escape. This raid is said to have been made in a section of the county where illicit whiskey stilling has been carried on for many years, with more or less frequency, and by a number of men who seem to be willing to dare the officers of the law and make the white whiskey that goes by the name of "monkey rum." On March 3rd, 1923, policeman King captured Louis Tyler and Will Tyler at a still which was in operation at the time of the arrest. Strickland was at the same still at which the Tylers were caught in the net, but he made good his es<:ai e that time also. It will be remembered, however, that at a term of the criminal c?<urt last year, Strickland and I ouis Tyler | were tried and onvicted for this of iense ana were sentenced, each to a term of three months on the public works. This case is said to he under appeal to the Supreme Court at this time. There are sections of Green Sea and Floyds in which thick bays are located. It is in one of these places that ihe raid was made on the 22nd.

After having a nice chatty conversation the minutes were read and ap- J proved. Thus the members found that they had a few dollars in the treasury from the sale of candy. They thank the public very much for their co-operation. Mrs. D. G. Spivey, the Fidelity teacher, then assigned each member a part in the coming Sunday program. It was too bad that part of the public missed this program, as it was very good indeed. The finishing touch to this nice evening was the serving of a delicious course by the sweet and charming hostess, Miss Blanch Taylor. Thus another wonderful day rolled away for the members of the Fidelity class.
