SNAP SHOTS. y (By Rev. YV. H. Faust.) ' The man who faces the dark - walks in his own shadow, hut he who walks toward the sun has a clean path. A live cootie can cause more, feeling than a dead elephant, and few active members of a live church are worth infitely more than hundreds of unconcerned members. Lots of people feel that it mat ters not to what church they be long, yet these same folks would not say “any man’s wife is as good as mine.” More grit is required to beard the lion in his den, than to stand on the mountain top and loudly denounce all the lions in the walks below. The uninnocent man wants to he judged by the facts in the ease, but the guilty criminal wants ev idence of a true character to be withheld. A snake and a cootie are pretty low down, but they are a million fold more decent than a blind ti ger liquor seller who, by his ne farious trade, debauches the young manhood of the country. .. Any man can take a short cut on a crooked road, but a straight road is the shortest distance be twvven righteous points. Judging from the action of some autoists on the highways, when Clod made them he put about as much gray matter in their heads as could he held on the surface of a cani- P,.ric needle point. When a girl will giggle and swing in a hammock with a boy smoking a cigarette, it is a sure sign that some fellow is going to get a cook without paying $40.00 per month. When a man serves on the grand jury he is more inclined* -than ever to believe in David’s theological conclusions. These shots reach Germany—a post card from a friend with one v one posted on it—“A curious phe nomenon of value—no two bald beads alike.” These faddists who advocate getting up early these spring mornings, and taking long walks, sure are going against all natural feelings. Every boy sometimes under twenty-one must climb the fool line. The sooner he reaches the top the better off is the world. The man who always walks a round with a pM tico theoloj.i al -chip upon his shoulder, will a! ways find sorm fighter w m is bold enough to attempt to k i • y it off. Wliat must God think to see some men in the rural sections, riding to a church building to worship in an automobile that costs more than the church house. If some men could be bought for their real worth and sold ac cording to their own estimation, the government would need no in come taxes to finance its affairs. There is room in a well organ ized orchestra for only one first fiddle, but the music would he mighty incomphte without aP the others chiming in and doing their part. The fellow who opposes educa tion and good roads these days is so far behind 1' e times that no earth-worm would stand more chance of catching up with an aeroplane than he would of over taking today’s procession. A flee dog can bark and oppose iHie progress of a two-ton truck, but the truck doesn’t stop mov ing on because of the barking of the fiee. The reason why some churches are doing the same now that they did a half century ago.is attribu table to the pastoral leadership. Some preachers allowed materi alism and laziness to dwarf them in the making. DR. GODDARD IINVENTS TERRIBLE ROCKET WITH RANGE OF 200 MILES. Worchester, Mass., March 29. Dr. Robert 11. Goddard, professor of phisics. at (’lark college, act ing under the patronage of tlie- T'nited States war department, lie Smithonian insti ;“ion, Clark mi "e: Ay and W ster Polv teelini • institute, has invented a new rocket that is reported to be terrible engine of war,with an al titude range of seventy miles straight up into the air and a (Us ance range of at least 200 miks. The rocket has been developed n a special laboratory at Worces er Tech, and the signing of the irmstice prevented its being put o actual test in warfare against lermans. The Goddard rocket is propell id by a perfect gas engine install ed in the lower part of the shell he explossions that generate the power coming from cartridges that are fed into the chamber by a clock-like time device. The •oeket does not require a cannon to start it on its flight, the jour ley beginning from any point where a man can get. The weap on feature of the rocket is in the head, ’ where a chamber is fifed to contain either high explosives >r gas. THE GREAT GOOD ROADS CONVENTION AT MINERAL WELLS TEXAS. .Mineral A*’. ID.

GET A CHEVROLET The World’s Leading Car More Truth Than Poetry Beat it, Beat it, little car, They all wonder what you are, Climbing all the hills on high, Passing many others by. As it passed the first man cussed, While the second merely fussed. But the third man said: “They say It won’t stop; it’s a Chevrolet.” All consent with one acord, It’s a car you can afford. In the swamp or in wet grass None of the others are in its class. In the sand or in the mud It pulls out where others just chug. Economical? Well I should say None can equal the Chevrolet.
