MILLIONS iOF POUNDS J
Arousing Ourselves
A woman sat upon her front
porch along the Schuylkill River at
Reading, Pa. For year* she had
been told that she as an inYalid must
not risk swimming in the river. She
believed what she had been told.
She heard the cry of a 16-year-old
girl calling for help. Fogetting her
weakness, she leaped into the river
and held the girl up till other help
ers came.
The invalid woman simply “for
got herself” into greatness!
Tbgre are vastly greater powers
in all of us than we ordinarily use.
Heroism is possible to all of us if
we only thought so. It was said of
old, “Asa man thinketh in his heart,
so he is.”
The sight of a drowning girl drove
away the weakness of the invalid.
One of the worst things that can
be told to a child is that “you can’t.”
I do not mean immoral things, for
there is always the need of keeping
them away from bad conduct, but
each child should be encouraged to
be stronger than his weaknesses and
fears.
On board ship I fell in with a de
feated man. He was drinking and
gambling and learning to think light
ly of his wife’s honor. He said to
me, “I have tried to be decent, but
either I am weaker than others or
my temptations are harder.” I ibid
him that God had put as much di
vinity into his dust as into any one
else. He s-aid, “If I believed that,
I would try harder than I have ever
tried, with the help of God.”
Next day 1 noticed that he was not
drinking and gambling.
When I bade him good-bye at the
pier in New York he said, “I’ve got
anew strength from somewhere, and
I am going home clean.”
I rather like the spirit of the
young atheletc, w'ho, before a field
meet, wrote to his mother, “I’ll do
my best or bust.”
On the same day that this un
known woman rescued a drowning
girl, Miss Ederle was swimming the
English Channel. The world will al
ways hear of the Channel swimmer,
but I wonder if the heroic deed of
this invalid woman is not of quite
as high quality.
One swam for the love of glory,
the other for the glory of love.
The advancement of the world is
in the hearts of the unknown people
whose names seldom appear in print,
but who nevertheless live a constant
heroism in the face of terrific odds,
and who keep sweet and cheerful in
the face of poverty or disaster.
We doubtless need young women
of Miss Ederle’s type who reveal the
hidden strengths of the mind and
body, and whose names become the
household words of the stronsr for
generations, but we also need the
glorious lives of those vho forget
their own weakness and safety at the
sound of distress from .mother.
Blessed is the human soul that can
be heroic when the limelight and the
cheering are not there. Verily, they
are the truly great.—Dr. J. W. Hol
land, in Progressive Farmer.
RURAL MAIL SERVICE HAS
MADE MAMMOTH STRIDES
Marvelous strides have been made
in the rural mail service, which
started -with approximately 1,800
miles of routes served by fewer than
fifty carriers.
Today 40,000 carriers serve 1,250,-
000 miles of routes, carrying mail:;
daily to more t’ a.i 30,000,000 people.
At the inauguaration of the service
the carriers received salaries rang
ing from S3OO to SSOO annually; to
day the .salaries range fbnrn SI,BOO
to $2,400 a year, and recently enact
ed legation awards pen ions set on
a sliding scale with minimum of
$750.
The cost of the service, which in
1897 was $14,810, ha; risen until
today it is fixed at over $100,000,000
for the year just ended.
OCTOBER
October is a child of jay.
In cnm.ion gown and cap,
A wreath of berries round her head
And apples in her lap.
She sings a -ong of merriment
For all the world to learn;
When oaks stand golden in the sun
And avnm-ic torefcci burn. •
October in a child of mirth
Wi*h tresses maple red;
Her dancing feet makes glad the
earth,
Where Autumn’s stores are spread.
‘Let all rejoice,” her merry cry,
“I bring a sen;; of cheer
Ere frosts lie white and snowflakes
fly;
Be glad, ici 3 aza here.”

CLIPPINGS FROM BANKS
COUNTY JOURNAL
A Bad Storm In Florida
Mr. Hill Hardy received a letter
from his boy, Hoyt Hardy, who is at
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Hoyt says
they “have had a bad storm down
this way.”
Mr. Land Sayi No
A man- representing a Chicago con
cern has been selling books in Geor
gia, and claiming that Fort E.
Land, the State school superintend
ent, recommended the books. Mr.
Land says this is not true, that th
man is an imposter. If the man ap
pears here with his books you can
remember this.
Sums Up The Campaign
Pat Canup came to town a few
days ago and gave his views on the
primary election held September Bth.
He says there were $600,000 spent,
75,000,000 lies told, 50,000 gallons
of liquor drank, and 50,000 promises
made that will never be funfilled.
Pat says he is thoroughly disgusted,
and will never vote again this side of
the great divide.
Back In Georgia To Stay
A woman from Miami visited here
last summer. She said: “Oh, my,
Miami is the greatest place in the
world. I will never live in Georgia j
again.” Shwwrrived here a few days
ago, and said: "Thank God I am
out of Florida. 1 told my husband (
if he died there the only way for me
to see him buried was to be sent
here.”
Sentenced Two To Four Years
Some young men from Jackson
county, some living near Nicholson,
and some at Jefferson, came over
into Banka one night in 1924, and en
gaged in a free for all fight near
Wright’s Mill. One man, Hoyt
Wo<Pd, was struck with a rock, and
died two months later. Herbert
Beard was accused of throwing the
rock that killed Wood. He was tried
here this week, found guilty, and
sentenced to from two to four years.
We are informed that his attorneys
have applied for anew trial.
Caught In The "Machine”
One man, who made a speech here
during the campaign, took several
knocks at newspapers, and accused
them, or some of them, with belong
ing to a “machine.” Well, we know
nothing of the machine, but if there
is one it must have caught him among
| the cogs, for he was ground to pieces,
I politically speaking. The “machine”
must also have ground up his poli
tical aspirations. Strange, indeed,
how this “machine” business can get
into so many heads when they want
office. If the other fellow has friends
they are called a “machine.”
Some Old Relic*
Mr. J. P. Bond, of near Rock
Springs church, was in town Tues
day, and had a lot old money of the
Confederacy, ten dollars, five dol
lars, 50c, 25c and 10c. He also had
a fine collection of stamps, some over
B 0 years old. Mr. Bond’s ancestors
came from Virginia, over 100 years
ago. He is now in possession of a
flax break that was the property of
his mother's great grand mother, and
is over 200 years old. His eloek is
over 100 years old, has only one
metal wheel, others wood, now run
ning. His watch was made in Lon
don over 100 years ago and winds
with a chain.
HOMESICK BLUES
A doleful song being sung by
many of the Southern negroes who
have gone North:
De railroad bridge’s
A sad song in de air.
Do railroad bridge’s
A rad song in de air.
Every time de trains pass
1 wants to go somewhere.
I went down to de station,
Ma heart was in ma mouth,
Went down to de station,
Heart in ma mouth.
Lookin’ for a box car
To roll me to de South.
Homesick blues, Lord, .
’S a terrible thing to have.
A terrible thing to have.
To keep from cryin’
1 opens ma mouth an’ la ughs.
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS
The road to success is rugged and
rough
Pitted and potted with holes,
And the man who falters s /on gels
cnouc’v
Bucking this breaker of souls.
Ihe stops are few and far between
The guide posts wide apart,
While the further you go, the harder
it seems
To the man with a weakling heart.
The prize is there, and it’.; yours to
win
But the winning is up to you.
If you have the heart and will to be
gin
And the courage to follow through.
—Blackwood.
THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN
IN CHURCH
By Paul Morrison, St. James Metho
dist Church, Cohoes, N. Y.
(With apologies to Gene Byrne’s
Cartoons: “Things That Never
Happen”)
The ushers calling for assistances
in carrying the offering because of
1 ita bulk or weight.
The minister insisting that the peo
ple attending service in the morning
must not return in the evening, ia
order to make room for others.
The sexton standing around w*th
hands folded asking: “Isn’t then
something else for me to do?”
The quartet or choir pleading with
the minister to permit them to sing
at the mid-week prayer service.
A church ‘sore-head’ doubling hia
1 subscription to current expenses.
The finance committee rejoicing
over a big increase in the next year's
budget.
A dozen people asking the min
ister on Sunday for some real defi
nite Christian work to do during the
week.
The man who sleeps during the
sermon telling everyone how he en
joyed it (the sleep).
F’ive families arriving late request
ing the same usher at the same time
to place them in the front pew.
Everyone in the congregation
reaching alertly for the hymn-book
when u number is announced anti
singing hearitly on every stanza. *
Flvery head reverently bowed dur
ing the so-called (and sometimes
truthfully so) ‘long’ prayer.
A volunteer choir that
find a single thing to whisper about
from the beginning to the end of an
unusually long service.
The minister telling the truth
in some fashion as this at the begin
ning of his sermon: “I really do not
feel” like preaching today. I have
rushed hither and thither to this com
mittee meeting and that committon
meeting, from one speaking en
gagement to another, besides a great
deal of serving of tables which I am
expected to do as executive manager
of this church. 1 have only spent
Jess than three hours revising this old
sermon which I prepared some years;
ago and which is rather out of date
now, but I am about to endeavor to
make it fit this occasion as best I
can.”
The Ladies’ Aid Society hoping
that the preacher’s wife will bring
to the next regular meeting a long
list of things that ought to be done
in the parsonage at once.
The Sunday school announcing that
they will have to limit the number of
young people between the ages of
15 and 21, who desire to join the
school.
The ‘old-timers’ graciously giving
way to newcomers, confident that the
newcomers will be able to do much
better work than they have done.
FAINT, YET PURSUING
Though faint, yet pursuing, we go
on our way;
The Lord is our Leader, His Word is
our stay;
Though suffering, and sorrow, and
trial be near,
The Lord is our refuge, and whom
can we fear?
He raiseth the fallen, He cheereth
the faintj^-
The weak and oppressed— He will
hear their complaint;
The way may be weary, and thorny
the road,
But how can we falter—our help is
in God.
Though clouds may surround us, our
God is our light;
Though storms rage around us, our
God is our might;
So, faint, yet pursuing, still onward
we come,
The Lord is our Leader, and heaven
is our home.—Exchange.
BED OF THE OCEAN RISES
TWO MILES IN 25 YEARS
Discovery that the bed of the At
lantic near the island of St. Helena
had risen two miles during the last
twenty-five years has led to a belief
among scientists that the entire bot
tom of the southern Atlantic has un
dergone a vast submarine convulsion,
says a Liverpool dispatch.
First' news of this phenomenon
was announced by a cable ship which
had been repairing a break in the
.St. Helena-Cape Town line, laid twen
ty-seven years ; go. The cable ship
•Tun 1 that instead of the oa being
2,700 fathoms, or just over three
miles deep, as set forth on the chart,
it was only a little more than three
quarters of a mile deep,' or about
sixty-six fathoms.
