The dictionary is usually a rella ble guide. It will answer many complicated questions and many simple ones as well. The sultry weather Auburn has been treated to prompted a little research along the line of dog days. Webster de fines them thus: "A period from four to six weeks between early July and early Sep tember; popularly the sultry, close part of the Summer." By both definitions, then, we are In the midst of dog days. It is In terestlng to observe to how many uses the lowly name of man's best friend Is rather carelessly put. Be sides meaning just what It says, the word "dog" may also mean a worthless fellow; a devise for hold ing something, such as a "logging dog;" an andiron; and you know what we mean when we say a fel- When we sow evil the harvest is low ls .. putting on the dog » always greater than we can reap and our friends have to help us do the reaping. The poor boy has to start at trie bottom and work up. The rich boj 1 starts at the slides down. Besides this, the word may be used to express an extreme physical state, such as "dogcheap" and "dog poor.” Then, of course, there Is the dog star (Sirius), the dogberry, dog bane the dog cart—and let's not forget dog days. But then we cant’ forget these doggone dog days, but as long as There are many things that mon- this heat dogs our footsteps so ey can't buy and if the prices keep I doggedly.

What is it that makes stimulation of better agriculture non-essential to the war effort, but makes gambling essential? To the credit of our neighbor City, Reynolds, her citizens exceed him to his friends in l utler yester day. Congratulations and continued good luck, good friend! The Third District's able and greatly esteemed Congressman, Butler patrons in the purchase of H ° n ' Stephen Pace is said to be bined sale in the two principal I *”5 WhUe (owns of Taylor county for July was approximately Five thousand dollars. The Bulloch Herald, published for many years at Statesboro, has been suspended for the duration of the war. Leodel Coleman is the last of the three brothers formerly connected with the Herald, has en listed in the U. S. Marines and has been sent to Parris Island for re cruit training. It will be of interest to local friends of Miss Lucile Thompson, of Ellaville, until recently a member of the Butler school faculty, to know that she has accepted a po sition as assistant postmaster in her home town. The appointment was made last week by Postmaster James A. Hart. She succeeds Edward King who has been accepted’ for Army service. While apparently sympathetic with the war effort some of the leading columnists seem unable to resist the opportunity to take a dig at the President. When the na tion as a whole is not fully awake to the fact that we are at war-, columnists and all others should for safety and success leave off the in his loyalty to God. He feels that faced with opposition in the fall election it is most gratifying to his friends and a high compliment to Mr. Pace that he will be re-elected for another term without opposi tion. Before long Wiudlife Rangers will be showing farmers, sportsmen and youngsters how to lure crows to de coy calls so they can kill the good- for-nothing rascals. For, according to Wildlife Director Zack D. Cravey, crows are causing extensive dam age to crops, as well as to game and song birds and the Division is receiving numerous appeals to "help get rid of them.”—Walton Tribune. If Bro. Cravey cares to put on a show that is a real show in exterminating these robbers we suggest that he call to his help and as leader of the group, our friend G. N. Taunton of this county. Considerable discussion has fol lowed the arrest of a young man at Columbia, S. C„ for refusing to register under the Selective Service Act. The 19-year-old youth, the son of a Methodist minister, believes that the “government has no right to coerce the conscience of a citizen SUPPRESS IT AT ONCE From The Albany Journal: ' The Journal commends Chief of Police Jim Moore for his vigilance in suppressing the activities of i pseudo-religious groups that would ' poison the mind of some through non-patriotlc literature. For ex ample— Can any red-blooded American understand how anyone could re fuse to salute the Stars and Stripes? Can any red-blooded American understand how anyone would re fuse to bear arms in the defense of his country? ' Yet there has been such a group right here in Albany. Literature ad vocating these departures from our Simon-pure doctrines of American-1 ism has been either sold or given away. One person was arrested and fined in police court. There is never any time for such trash to be permitted to circulate, but particularly now with this country fighting for its existence. It's time to call a spade and to get hard-boiled in an emphatic manner. • I Let's hope the Albany police de-' partment maintains its vigilance i over such things and makes it so, unpleasant for such outsiders that I they'll seek other fields to carry on their nefarious and unpatriotic practices. j MAN AND THE MULE, AS TOLD BY THE MAN The following item isn't new,” re-, marks the Editor of the Walton; Tribune, Monroe, Ga., "but it pro vides a bit of clean humor for a torrid summer season and for a moment will divert our thoughts from war:” ! "Over the hill trailed a man be-' hind a mule drawing a plow. Says i the man to the mule: j “Bill, you are a mule, the son of a jackass, and I am a man made in the image of God. Yet, here wei work, hitched together year in and year out. I often wonder if you work for me or I for you. Sometimes I think this is a partnership between a mule and a tool. For hurely I work as hard as you, if not harder Plowing here we cover the same distance but you do it on four legs and I on two. So, mathematically speaking, I do twice as much per leg as you do. “Soon we'll be preparing a corn crop. When the crop is harvested, I give one-third to the landlord for being kind enough to let me use this corner of God's universe. The other third goes to you, and what is left is mine. But white you consume all of your third with the exception of a few cobs, I'di vide my third among seven chil dren, six hens, two ducks and a banker. Bill you are getting the best or me; it ain't fair for a mule, the son of a jackass, to rob a man—the lord of greatin—of his substance. Arid come to think of it, you only help to cultivate the ground. After that I cut, shock, and husk the corn while you look over the pasture fence and “hee-haw" at me. “All fall and part of the winter the whole family from Granny down to the baby, picks cotton to help raise the money to buy a new set of harness and pay interest on the mortgage on you. And by the way, what do you care about the mortgage? It doesn't worry you any Not a darn bit. You leave that to me, you ungrateful, orney cuss. “About the only time I am your better is an election day for I can vote and you can't.But if I ever get auy more cut of politics than you do, I fail to see where it.is.” SEPARATED Time For Harvesting And Curing Peanuts Rapidly Approaching above the ground.

Speaking of crops in this section bf the State, Taylor County seems “to be there with the goods” this season. And best of all, our farmers have certainly co-operated in a most commendable manner to make the Food for Victory Program mean everything the name implies. The corn, cotton, potatoes, pimen- toes, peaches, watermelons and pea nuts are producing abundantly de spite the adverse circumstances arising from unfavorable weather. In addition to these, poultry and live-stock are being produced by our farmers on a much larger scale than ever before dreamed would be the case, and these have proven most valuable assets to the farm ers in matter of ready cash in cul tivating their crops. On the whole our farmers have much for which to be thankful this season; so have nearby towns and cities which have depended largely on the far mers of this section for food. It is encouraging, especially in these . critical times, to realize that the farmers are producing to their ca pacity, in many instances and have record-breaking yields about ready for harvest in addition to those al ready harvested from time to time throughout the first half of tne year. b to comply with the law will be contraction of Christian teachings, democratic liberty and individual freedom." Facts gathered from those personally acquainted with the young man we are of the opin ion that his acts are more the per formance of a spectacular than one of sincere convictions and for which we have but little sympathy, The annual convention of the 3rd Congressional District Masonic Convention, which is to be held in Butler on Tuesday of next week serves to call attention to the fact that Masons throughout the world have thrown all their energies and resources into the effort to stamp out dictators. It has been claimed that Masons first lighted the fires at the Boston Tea Party that led the colonies to eventually gain their freedom. Hitler and his kind are doing their best to stamp out the Masonic fraternity. This fra ternity, of ancient origin and dedi cated to the cause of liberty and freedom, will long be a constructive force after Hitler and his gangsters are forgotten. It is a pleasure to welcome the district convention to our city and we confidently believe that the cordiality with which the more than 150 expected visitors re ceive while here will impress them with the desire to make Butler their permanent meeting place for their annual conventions. A hillbilly, seeing a motorcycle rider going along the road below the house (and never having seen an automobile or motorcycle before) grabbed his rifle and too a shot at it. His wife called out: “Did you git the varmint, Zeke?” "No," he said, "I didn't kill it. I can still hear it growling, but I sure made it turn that man loose.*- —L. & N. Magazine.
