HARPER E FROE eRO R R R, | APRIL FOOL i The writer has not found a satisfac tory record of the origin of April Fool's Day. How the first of April came to be the day when pranks perpetrated upon the unsuspecting and when mar ivelous or unlikely things are told and credulity is gained and then the words “April Fool”, the writer does not know., But he does have the memory of many times he was caught by some unlikely yarn or circumstance and then was told “April Fool.” We are reminded that some persons become the victim of their onw folly. It is worse folly than that imposed upon them by any prankster on the first of April. We may see around us men who are foolish in the ways of every day life. They may fail in busi ness through their own foolishness. But far worse than failure in mater ial things is. the failure of the man who is beguiled by the folly of sin. For all sin in folly. The devil is a wily deceiver who draws near to men as in the robes of an archangel. “Be not de ceived, God is not mocked: for whatso ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” G. L. Johnson, engineer, Agricultural Extension Service, advises always reading the label before using sprays or dusts. Caution should be used in opening the container, too, he adds. = ZEen =y [ [ FOR BIGGER PROFITS') MMmmcamy '\s&&’ \ ...SEE YOUR DIXIE 1a \, WNL7 ) NITROGEN DEALER / | SEESH || Rl N 1335% M=y ' WAREHOUSE g ° I‘l.';‘ m;f 3 i Blakely, Ga. % - Trade now for the Nylon Value leader of the Tire World!
