Any one can have a good time, if he only
thinks so. .
O-
People who fly high don’t always have
wings. y
O
The fellow who waits for toworrow lives
on the crumbs of today.
O
Big fish are like big offenders. They are
easy to hook but hard to laud.
O
Time, tides and railroad trains wait for
no inun, but bill collectors and vamps do.
O
When a fellow gets rick quick the next
tiling lie wants to do is to get richer quicker.
O
Hitting the pipe is a dangerous practice
with most people. Hut it doesn’t bother the
plumber.
<)
Forget your troubles three hours each day,
and in time you will wonder what lias become
of them.
O
Energy and perseverance l will accomplish
great tilings when they have will power to
spur them along.
O
It’s quite possible to work hard ami still
take life easy. It is all in tlie way you look
at your job.
O
A fellow gets a lot of sport out of keeping
fait 011 his neighbors until they begin to
keep tab on him.
O
Great minds in this town do not all run
in tlie same channel. It would lie a raging
torrent if they did.
O
And still, thee is a certain similarity
between a pipe organ and a cob pip* l . It
takes wind to make ’em go.
O
Of course, we don’t expect you to believe
nil of tlie brilliant and learned things we
write. We don’t ourself.
All roads load to success lu life. It is
only those who lose their wuy who fail to
arrive at their destination.
O
No woman of spirit wants a man whom
other women do not admire. Blie would
not have the oppunity to crow.
O
The man who passes up an opportunity is
generally the one who kicks the loudest when
the other fellow gets it.
O
We quite agree with the editorial nut
who remarked that “Mr. Harding will be
the handsomest president since Wilson.”
Q
All exchange coughed up a good one when
it said that “any man who is engaged in
business is a fortune hunter.” But it wasn’t
original.
—o
A town that is worth living in is worth
trading in. Home town boosters will keep
this fqet in mind when doing their Christ
mas shopping.
O
Of course, if you are in affluent circum
stances and of n generous frame of mind
you might drop a chunk of coal in the Christ
mas stocking.
O
They move rapidly when they move at all
down in Mexico, (lenernl Obregon was re
cently elected president, and now the oppo
sition wants to unseat him before he is seat
ed.
Political writers in the daily press have
assumed the task of constructing a cabinet
for the next president. And yet it can hardly
be termed “love's labor lost.” A lot of peo
ple can say that they were also mentioned.

SATURDAY NOON TILL SUNDAY' MID
NIGHT
Much of the troubles, the loss of money
and reputation are brought about in modern
(lays between Saturday noon and midnight
Sunday. It's a period of lavishness and gaye
ty, a time for carousal and excesses. At the
same time it is a jteriod for expressing devo
tions and pieties, for it covers the Christian
Sabbath. Soon after noon Saturday certain
elements of society begin to get keyed up
for the week-end recreations, which are in
many instancs week-end dissipations. Mon
day morning finds these elements blue, and
in no mood for quiet, constructive service.
Asa result they find fault with their work,
shirk and try to breed cotnplaint in the minds
of those around them. Many of them belong
to the self-established loafer class, men and
women, who are the parasites of every com
munity.—Dawson Citizen.
THE GOLDEN RI LE IN BUSINESS
Home years ago Willis L. King, Vive-Pres
ident of the Jones & Laughlln Company, one
of the greatest steel concerns of America, in
an address liefore the American Iron and
Steel Institute, took as his subject “The
Golden Rule In Business.”
Mr. King claimed that every business

Hince that erc hag been wide
spread development t)f the tbrought Unit in
'all rolaU'ms men should strive to
pot Into the divine command to do
unta others as we would that they should
dQ unto us. But what a revolution in human
affairs would be inaugurated if all men pruc-
Uced that doctrine!
If ail employees would honestly put them
selves mentally in the place of their euployea
and then study the meaning of that command,
there woud be a mighty change for the better.
If all employees would put themselves in
their employer’s place and endeavor fully
to carry out tiiat teaching, there would be
no slacking, no inefficiency, and no effort to
1 1 row beat and buhloze other men who did
not belong to tlieir particular union.
If all buyers and sellers would faithfully
do unto each other as they wisli others to
do unto them under similar circumstances,
honesty would everywhere prevail, and the
world’s business would move forward to a
higher and nobler plane, with larger pros
perity tor all.
No man is living a true life, no man is
doing his full duty to himself and his fellow
men as employer, or employe, as buyer or
seller, who cannot conscientiously sav that
to the very best of his knowledge he is seek
ing to carry out this supreme rule of human
conduct.
No man is thoroughly honest at heart who
is nol Milling to examine himself to see if
his motives square with this divine command,
which is just as binding as those which say,
Thou shall not steal, thou shall not murder,
thou shall not commit adultry Men may
follow these commands and still utterly fail
if they do not follow that other command
which says, “Whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, do ye even so to tnem.”
It may lie wellnigli impossible to attain unto
that heavenly height of conduct, but it is
possible to strive unceasingly and honestly
to do so.—Manufacturers Record.
O
A GROWING NUISANCE
Speed maniacs nre becoming too great and
promiscuous a nuisance in this country.
As we have remarked in these columns
oefore, it is quite time to put an effectual
curb on their speeding and maiming and kill
ing. The people they main or kill are of use
to society. They are not.
If fines will not check them, jail sentences
will.
In Chicago the traffleers In illicit booze
had the city by the throat. They were power
ful, arrogant, and contemptuous of the law,
the city, the state and the government.
But one prominent offender suddenly found
himself before Federal Judge Landis. He
is now in the federal prison at Fort Leaven
worth. The booze ring is panic stricken,
and the lid is down so tight it couldn’t be
jarred off with dynamite.
If it can be done with booze it can be
done with speeding.
The average motorist is law abiding and
considerate of the rights of others, but he
suffers for the wild and criminal reckless
ness of the speeders.
Appeals to reason and fines have had no
effect upon these public nuisances.
The only recourse left to the public is to
put these fellows where they belong.
One good jail sentence will do the work
in this community. The rest of the maniacs
will take to cover and suddenly develop into
remarkable good Indians.
TO UK EYPECTEI)
When the people of the United States took
advantage of the war situation to go into
the profiteering game they neglected to take
one all-important precaution.
They failed to look beyond the golden hue
of their own nones.
Asa result of this profiteering craze the
cost of everything we produce is sky high,
because nil labor and materials used have
been boosted to the limit of boostibility.
Here is the aftermath.
American manufacturers want to ship
goods abroad, but they find the foreign mar
kets in many eases practically closed to
them because foreign made goods are sold
for less than we can make them.
Thus we are deprived of much of foreign
trade, and factories are discharging thousands
of their employees. Some are shutting down
netirely. ' 3f^-^l
Then again, American manufacturers are
up against the dumping of foreign made
goods into this country for less than we can
produce them here. If this condition pre
vails in future to any considerable extent
more millions will be walking the streets
in search of employment.
So much for our era of assiuiue profiteer
ing and price boosting.
lint when we listen to the piper we must
expect to pay for his music.
The hour for payment has arrived.
O
Occupying the presidential chair is not
altogether a bed of roses. A fellow has to
do so much squirming he wears out a lot
of perfectly good pants.
THE WINDER NEWS
AS THE EDITOR SEES IT
" the days of profiteering nearing an
end we are apt to fall ipto a hah'*
will be but a natural result that
of financial pirating—th l ’ our period
Men w K ~ - Habit of drifting.
nave begfi' ftlihing big salaries
and huge profits will become disgruntled
when forced to accept tlie reduction now on
the way.
They will feel that, their income Is no long
re in proportion to their labors, and will
lose much of tlieir Incentive which lias driven
them at maximum pressure during thd pagj
five or six years. ■
They will drift.
The American spirit of “I Will” in many
cases will be converted into one of “I May.
The dominant force of American character
will become dormant to a considerable ex
tent.
The country will sink down into a languid
period of drifting—doing that which is neces
sary, keeping heads above water, but losing
that tremendous stride which has become so
characteristic of the American people.
This is a prediction only—we hope it does
ot come true.
Do you ever indulge in day dreaming?
Possibly you and people do at some time
or other.
When a fellow day dreams lie revels in
ull sorts of fantastic situations, He sees
himself possessed of millions, courted, ad
mired and a power among men.
But he dreams of the actuality, and not
of tlie means of reaching it.
If men would devote their day dreaming
to demising ways of solving difficult problems
they would become in reality what their
minds picture them in dreamland.
Ten minutes of quiet concentrated thought,
or dreaming, each day—with the time devot
ed to searching for and analyzing the roads
to success in life —would eventually point
out to each individual the path most suited
for him to travel, and would spur him on to
tlie accomplishment of those achievements
which now lie sees only in his dreams.
Ten minutes each day—only a small por
tion of what is idled away through life.
Why not?
—O—
This life is full of surprises, but one of
the greatest of all is when a fellow first learns
tiiat to accomplish the supposedly impossible
is a comparatively easy matter when he goes
at it with determination and in the right
manner.
Too many of us are prone to consider a
tlibig impossible without first giving it proper
thought and investigation.
To us it looks like a Insurmountable moun
tain because it is greater than the problems
with which we have been accustomed to
deal.
The xnan of strong force and character
finds it easy to overcome great obstacles
because he likes his work and has confidence
in his ability to perform it.
The average man may become forceful of
character through cultovation of habit. And
the cultivation of hnbit is more simple and
easy than that of the crops in the field.
Obstacles are. only obstacles to those who
consider them such. To the man of will
power and determination they are as pebbles
hi the pathway of a giant.
You can if you will.
OUR SCHOOLS
The voters of Georgia can occasionally he
depended on to do the right tiling. They
elected a good legislature. The legislature
passed some good laws relative to our schools.
Then at the polls our voters ratified the
amendment, and our school authorities can
levy a larger tax to care for the needs of
the schools in which the masses of onr
people are to receive what education they
will get in this life.
Tears ago the little country school was
tiie center of interest; then the folks got
lop-sided and foolish, and commenced to un
duly emphasize the colleges in which about
2 per cent of our people were benefited, un
til they received about all the attention and
a largr part of the appropriations.
Our wise statesmen saw that we were
trying to build a sixteen story build
ing unon a two story foundation,
hack to the masse* of our children who really
need educational aid.
Rural educational institutions are as im
portant as our greatest universities and
seminaries.
Our farms must be populated. We must
get back to the soil with the masses. There
would be no panic if we had been empha
sizing farm life and country schools as we
should.
The world needs intelligence today as bad
as it did in the days of Isaiah. We are
suffering from foolishness and ignorance.
Isaiah, the golden-mouthed, said:
“The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass
his master’s crib, but we people do not con
sider,” which was a polite way of saying
that the sluggishness of the ox and the bray
of the ass was changed over to folks.
The proper emphasis upon our rural schools,
better paid teachers, better equipped teachers
and schools, longer terms and more interest
on the part of. our patrons will help solve
a lot of our peculiarly hard present day
problems.
