Easter never fails to bring a season
of cool weather and this year it came

; There have been so many concerts and
school breakings that it is impossible
for us to cover all of them. In fact, very
few schools will be in operation two or
three weeks from now, giving the pu
pils and the teachers a vacation during
tin* summer months.
The farmers in all sections are busi
ly engaged in planting cotton and corn
and getting things in shape for the
coming crops. Less cotton and more
attention is being given to corn, grain
and velvet beans. Quite a number of
our farmers are raising hogs and cattle
on a large scale and there is more money
I in raising hogs than any other kind of
meat.
Cold Kills Fish.
It lias been proved that sudden cold
sometimes causes the death of thou
sands of fish In the shallow waters of
the tropics and subtropics. Many spe
cies are so chilled ns to become help
less, and are either killed directly by
drowning or are washed ashore In a
comatose state. The phenomenon Is
known locally as “freezing,” although
1 the temperature of the water muy be
I several degrees above the freezing
j point.

CAN TRANSPORT LIQUORS
THROUGH A “DRY” STATE
Washington, April 22.—Transporta
tion of intoxicating liquors for bever
age purposes through a dry state is not
prohibited under the Reed prohibition
amendment in an opinion interpreting
that act.
The opinion was rendered in pro
ceedings resulting from the arrest of
Homer Gudger, at Lynching, Va M un
der the law while on route on a passen
ger train from Baltimore, Md., to Ashe

dismissed the indictment against him
holding in effect that although carried
across a state, intoxicants are not
“transported” into the state if their
ultimate destination is a point beyond
the limits of that state.

Heaven Pity the Shirker. I
The man who shirks his work, who!
treats the service of labor with indif
ference, who sacrifices his efficiency on
the altar of self-indulgence, loafs on
his job and plans to see how little he
can do and not be caught, is to be the
most pitied man on the face of the
earth.
lie thinks he is cheating his em
ployer. But the employer is not the
man he is cheating. Far from it. He is
cheating himself. More than cheating
I himself. He is assassinating oppor
portunity and paving the way to utter
ruin and disgrace.
The man who accomplishes anything
in this world, the man who amounts
to anything worth measuring is the
man upon whom dependence can be
placed. It does not matter what the
task is, big or little, every man is
measured by the degree of his respon
sibility. The man who cannot be trust
ed with labor for which he is honestly
paid is just as desplicable as the man
who refuses to pay for labor honestly
performed. The shirker is essentially
dishonest. Unfaithful to himself, set
ting the bomb that will sooner or later
send him to poverty, he is a menace
and an abomination.
The stories of heroism that shift
home with the troops are encourag
ing to Americans. When put up
against the best trained army of the
world the doughboys went through the
line and kicked goal.
