Mrs. LeRoy Wedeman and Mrs, LeRoy Wedeman, Jr., of Pomaria, were visitors in the city Saturday From where I sit... Jy Joe Marsh It’S real puzzlin’ when you stop to think about it... I mean the way the human race has worked out a whole set of cut- an’-dried alibis for its misdeeds and shortcomings. * * • Some of them’s harmless alibis —like the office boy’s grandmother who always passes away just be fore the big baseball game. Here’s some others. “My alarm clock didn’t go off.” “I left my money in my other suit”—“I was settin’ up with a sick friend.” l * « * And then the one about the two beers. Now that one is downright exasperatin’. Because there’s not a shred of truth in it. Every once in a while I read in the papers about some ornery cuss, who never did know the meanin’ of moderation, gettin’ himself into trouble— —and then protestin’ that all he had to drink was “a couple of beers.” He knows it isn’t true. He’s just sayin’ that because he knows that “a couple of beers” sounds moder ate and sensible-like—and it is. Personally, I don’t ever remem ber seein’ a couple of glasses of good beer, enjoyed among friends,, hurt any normal, sensible person. If you won’t get in trouble with out beer, you aren’t going to get in trouble with it. Matter of fact, it’s been my ob servation right along that a friend ly glass of beer in pleasant so ciability leads to just the opposite of trouble. It goes along, seems to me, with good companionship, and modera tion, and tolerance for the other fellow. • » • Yes, sir, from where I sit,it looks like the fellow that goes and gets himself in trouble, and then blames it all on a “couple of beers” isn’t really foolin’ anybody. But he is bein’ mighty mean and unfair to the people that enjoy tha right to a sensible moderate drink like beer—yes, includin’ “a couple of beers.” By ETHEL h. COUNTS There will be fewer sheets and pillow cases to do “ghost” duty this Hallowe’en. The reason—the war. The person in the household who guards the linen closet knows by this time that sheets and pillow cases with wear still in them are on the “make ’em last’’ list. For textile mills are taxed to the limit with orders. Homemakers are help ing to ease the heavy schedules in these mills when they take extra good care of the household textiles. One way to get the best service from a sheet or pillow case is to distribute the wear as evenly as possible, according to home econo mists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The Bureau of Home Economics has found by test that sheets wear out most quickly where the sleep er’s shoulders normally rest. You can distribute this wear by revers ing the sheet occasionally, putting the top part at the bottom of the bed. Sheets will also last longer if you let each one rest between “working periods.” So put freshly laundered sheets on the bottom of the pile in your linen closet. Thus, no sheet is overworked while others lie idle. If you find snags or tears on the sides of your sheets, take a look at the springs and bed rails to see whether they are to blame. Bend down any loose or sharp ends of wire on the springs, or sandpaper off any splinters on the bed rail, And it’s best to mend the shags and tears in the sheets quickly. If you don’t they will be even bigger after the sheets are laundered. A major goal on laundry day is to keep sheets and pillow cases white—but not launder them too hard. It’s best to wash sheets and pillowcases before they become very soiled, and to avoid: using strong bleaches. Bleaches containing free chlorine react with the fiber of the fabric, causing it to deteriorate. The sun is a good bleaching agent— you can depend on it to a great ex tent to make your laundry white. When drying, hang sheets and pillowcases by the hem. If it’s cold weather ad they freeze while on the line, don’t move them until dry. They split if folded when frozen. Too hot a flatiron weakens the fibers of your sheets and pillow cases, even if it doesn’t leave scorch marks. So keep the temperature of your iron about medium. It will save the fabric some wear, also, if you don’t press folds in sheets or pillowcases. A SON Mr. and Mrs. E. C.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR SUCH Continued from Page Five superintendent for being frequently absent from class, replied “I have only five small boys in my class.” Five souls! Five lives! What a re sponsibility! The impressions made on pupils will affect time and eter nity. Discouragements will come. Wheth er hot or cold, wet or dry, whether we feel like it or not, let us be faith, ful, loyal and consistant witnesses of the Word of God by teaching it and living it. It is a distinct honor to be in business for God. God’s business is the biggest of all. An old preacher, tired and discour aged about his work,went into a hotel to refresh himself. He chose the most secluded table in the dining room that he might be alone with his thoughts. Presently in walked a young man, bubbling over with enthu siasm. He asked the minister if he might sit at the table with him. Then he began to talk about his business, which was the jewelry business, but never before did he start out with such enthusiasin. The secret of it was that before he started his father made him partner in the business. Then he inquired of the minister what his business was. The preach er thought of Malaehi 3:17, “And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serv- eth him.” New courage came to his heart, a new light came to his eyes and a broad smile to his face as he anwered, “I, too, am in the jewelry business.” With a new vision of our work in whih we are engaged, and a sense of the presence of our Silent Partner and the anticipations of rich rewards we hall receive, let us go forth with quicker steps and gladder hearts to labor on till the Lord of the harvest will call his workers from labor to re freshment.
