A THOUGHT FOR TODAY,
Ye are our epistle, written in our
hearts, known and read of all men.—
2 Corinthians 3:2.
s The dear Lord’s best interpreters
Are humble human souls;
The Gospel of a life like theirs
Is more than books or scrolls.
From scheme and creed the light goes
out,
The saintly fact survives;
The blessed Master none can doubt
Revealed the holy lives.
—John G.Whittier.

ED TIMMERMAN.
/”VJR sister city of Plains, a com
munity abounding in good citi
zens and big men, has lost one of
this ■ biggest* and best of them ail.
Ed Timmerman is dead. And all
Sumter county and the country
’round about mourns with Plains.
Mr. Timmerman lived a most use
ful life. He was a friend to man,
but his quiet and unassuming man
ner, his kindnesses done in strict
privacy, kept the public gaze from
much of his good deeds.
How much sadder, really, should
be the passing on of a man who has
wasted his opportunities in life, who
comes to his end unhonored and un
sung! Mr. Timmerman has passed
on and we mourn. But he has left
behind hint.a hepeficient memory, a
record of a good citizen who always,
did his duty—and more. More
splendid epitaphs have been written,
but few greater.
BURYING MISTAKES.
OICTURE a funeral passing your
house with 38,000 hearses, each
hearse containing an American busi
ness firm. . (
That gives you an accurate idea
of the number of business failures
since prices’began to tumble in May,
1920. - .
But all is not gloom.
• Standing thoughtfully on the curb
stones, watching their deceased
brethren going to Dun & Bradstreet’s
cemetery, are nearly 2,000,000 busi
ness organizations that have weather
ed the storm without sinking.
In two years of very severe de
pression, only one business in each
53 has failed.
In a flash this illustrates the great
underlying strength of our business
organization, the Gibraltar that can
not be toppled by any storm.
As usual, of course, attention cen
ters on the ships that sink. Ships
that weather the storm are ignored.
Thus'the financial ocean, like the
Seven Seas, gets a worse reputation
than it really deserves.
In May, only 1960 failures. Many
will snort and wonder why the ‘only.’
If they turn back four months,
■‘hey find 2723 failures in January.
Steadily the storm subsides. Ob
serving this, young blood desires to
put to sea—to try its hand. So, in
May 954 new companies were in
corporated in the prinicpal states,
with capital of SIOO,OOO or more
apiece. Thousands of smaller ones
also ventured forth. They are the
rowboats.
How much did they fail for? That
is the important question. Failures,
during the depression that now is
nearing its ends, have had total li
abilities or debts at a rate of about
$600,000,000 a year.
Assets have averaged enough to
pay about 50 cents on sl.
The total or net loss, due to fail
ures, has been running around $300,-
000,000 a year—or about $3 a year
for each American. This, after all,
is not such a big price to pay for
getting out of the woods.
Several million Russians arc home
less. Several million Americans
couldn't be home less.
Detroit woman had a man arrest
ed because he pinched her. The
charge was not “impersonating an
officer.
Cheer up. The first three months
of summer are the hottest.
Jazz is popular because they can
J lay the same piece over and you
don’t recognize it.
A snail travels a foot in four min
utes. Contrary to rumor, this is
hot as fast as a street car.

was a rival of Mr.
Peerabout, the Mrn-in-the-Moon
One day he rode up : he moon on
his star and hopped oft.
“Now then,” said he, “I’ll just go
round to the cities of the moon and
show the moon people how hand
some I am. No doubt they’ll put old
Peerabout out and give me his place.
“He’s too old anyway, and earth
folks want a change. I'll bet they’re
good ’n’ tired having the same old

The idea tickled Comet-Legs so
much he began to ho, ho and hee,
hoe till his round tummy shook up
and down like a plum pudding. By
’n’ by he came to a mountain top
and looked down at the earth. When
he got up, there was old Peerabout
looking at him!
Quick as a wink he gave the
Moon-Man a push, and away went
he head over heels into space.
Comet-Legs went on his way. He
was so tickled he began to make up
a song of his own.
