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. O 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 witli customers O-SMOU, viueiuu 0 ' --"-'Amors or employees, It Was possible to co "'* as (he surest guid follow the Golden a*- • in all business dealings. His enthusiastically received b> the 1 Jtl( jred9 0 f leaders In the iron and st< industry who were present 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. O In these days brains are an asset, but brawn is a money getter. O No. it is not always a misfortune to be born a fool. Charlie Chaplin—that’s all.
