FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1932 THE BUSY MAN If you want to get a favor done By some obliging friend, And want a promise safe and sure, On which you may depend, Don.’t go to him who always has Much leisure time to plan, But if yoii want your favor done, Just ask the busy man. The man with leisure never has A moment he can spare, He’s always “putting off” until His friends are in despair. But he whose every waking hour Is crowded full of work, Forgets the art of wasting time He cannot stop to shirk. So when you want a favor done And want it right away, Go to the man who constantly Works twenty-four hours a day. He’ll find a moment sure, somewhere That has no other use, And fix you while the idle man Is framing an excuse. —Selected.

MEETING Mrs. Emma Mallet was a genial hostess to the members of the Wom an’s Christian Temperance Union Friday of last week when a good Christian Citizenship program was carried out. The fine attendance was an evidence of the interest felt. Mrs. A. A. Howell, program chair man, gave a fine devotional, using appropriate Bible verses as a foun dation for her talk on what a Chris tian citizen should be spiritually in putting the principles and teachings of Jesus into every phase of life. She further emphasized this - truth by giving incidents of noble cnarac acters of recent history. This was followed by prayer by Mrs. Annie Webb, Mrs. Mallett stressed four teen fine points, from her paper on “The duty of a Christian citizen.” Mrs. J. B. Settle placed emphasis on the young citizen in her splendid talk. She spoke of the necessity of teach ing the importance o flaw observance and instilling the idea of “total ab stinence for the individual and pro hibition for the nation.” Among oth er things she stated that in 1932 there will be twenty-five and one quarter millions entitled to vote who have come of age since 1920. The enemies of prohibition are counting on thees young people. Hear them say, “Every crop of new voters will be easier because further removed from saloon days, to convert to our cause.” Are we going to leave the young people of our community and state to the wets to educate? They are surely doing it with their false propaganda. This should be counter acted with facts. “What is a 100 per cent Americanism” was also read, Two temperance songs intersperced the program, “Prohibition obser vance an<j enforcement —not re peal,” and “Work for enforcement where you are” was used.
